Adipose tissue gene expression profile from male WT and fat-1 transgenic 14 week old high fat fed mice

ABSTRACT: Dietary administration of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is often associated with altered adipose tissue (AT) morphology and/or function in obese mice. However, it is unclear whether these observations are an indirect consequence of reduced weight gain or result from direct actions of n-3 PUFA. Here we studied the AT of fat-1 transgenic mice that convert endogenous n-6 to n-3 PUFA. These mice display equivalent weight gain and fat accretion to their wild-type (WT) counterparts. We performed Affymetrix microarray in epididymal AT of male hemizygous fat-1(+/-) transgenic mice and their wild type littermates that had been fed high fat diets from 6 weeks of age (diet-93075, 55% Kcal from fat, Harlan Teklad). Mice were sacrificed after 8 weeks on the HF diet. At sacrifice epididymal adipose tissues excised for the microarray study (n=3 per group) were rapidly homogenized in QIAZOL (QIAGEN) and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Project description:Age-related and/or high caloric intake driven changes in visceral adipose tissue contribute to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The lack of reliable, high-throughput methods to analyze the adipose tissue protein composition has limited our understanding of the protein networks responsible for metabolic regulation of various adipose depots. We have developed a proteomic approach using multiple-dimension liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and multiplexed TMT labeling to analyze protein composition of epididymal adipose tissues isolated from mice fed either low or high fat diet for a short (8 weeks) or a long (18 weeks) term, and from mice that aged (26 weeks old) on low vs. high fat diets. Advancing age and high-fat diet feeding led to graded deterioration, with long-term high fat diet exposure being the worst of all measures of peripheral metabolic health such as body weight, adiposity, plasma fasting glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol levels, and glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Epididymal adipose depot proteomic analysis identified >3300 proteins per sample. In response to short-term high fat diet, 43 proteins representing lipid metabolism (e.g., AACS, ACOX1, ACLY) and red-ox pathways (e.g., CPD2, CYP2E, SOD3) were significantly altered (FDR < 10%). Long-term high fat diet significantly altered 55 proteins associated with immune response (e.g., IGTB2, IFIT3, LGALS1) and rennin angiotensin system (e.g. ENPEP, CMA1, CPA3, ANPEP). Age-related changes on low fat diet significantly altered only 18 proteins representing mainly urea cycle (e.g., OTC, ARG1, CPS1), and amino acid biosynthesis (e.g., GMT, AKR1C6). Surprisingly, high fat diet driven age-related changes culminated with alterations in 155 proteins involving primarily the urea cycle (e.g., ARG1, CPS1), immune response/complement activation (e.g., C3, C4b, C8, C9, CFB, CFH, FGA), extracellular remodeling (e.g., EFEMP1, FBN1, FBN2, LTBP4, FERMT2, ECM1, EMILIN2, ITIH3) and apoptosis (e.g., YAP1, HIP1, NDRG1, PRKCD, MUL1) pathways. Our unbiased mass spectrometry method, tailored to adipose tissue, identified both age-related and high fat diet specific proteomic signatures. In addition to well-described immune and extracellular remodeling response to high fat feeding, we have uncovered the pronounced involvement of arginine metabolism in response to advancing age, and branched chain amino acid metabolism in early response to high fat feeding. We were able to uncouple age-related metabolic responses from those associated with caloric intake, a task otherwise difficult to achieve.

Project description:Diet-induced obesity is reported to induce a phenotypic switch in adipose tissue macrophages from an antiinflammatory M2 state to a proinflammatory M1 state. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist and a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist, reportedly has beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity. We studied the effects of telmisartan on the adipose tissue macrophage phenotype in high fat-fed mice. Telmisartan was administered for 5 weeks to high fat-fed C57BL/6 mice. Insulin sensitivity, macrophage infiltration, and the gene expressions of M1 and M2 markers in epididymal fat tissues were examined. Insulin- or a glucose-tolerance test showed that telmisartan treatment improved insulin resistance, decreasing the body weight gain, visceral fat weight and adipocyte size without affecting the amount of food intake. Telmisartan treatment reduced the number of CD11c-positive cells and crown-like structures. Telmisartan reduced the mRNA expressions of M1 macrophage markers, such as TNF-alpha and IL-6, and increased the expression of M2 markers, such as IL-10 and Mgl2. The reduction of M1 macrophage markers, as well as the increased gene expression of M2 markers especially IL-10, is a possible mechanism for the improvement of insulin sensitivity by telmisartan. Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were purchased from CLEA Japan. The mice were fed a chow that contained 10% of its calories from fat (control) or a high-fat diet (HFD) that contained 30% of its calories from fat for 24 weeks. The high fat-fed mice were randomized to 3 groups. Either telmisartan (~3 mg/kg/day) in drinking water (HFD+Tel), candesartan (~3 mg/kg/day) in drinking water (HFD+Can), or a HFD without any drugs (HFD) was administered for the next 5 weeks. Two mice were treated per group. Epididymal adipose tissues were rapidly removed from each mouse. Gene expression in epididymal fat tissue was analyzed using a GeneChip® system with the Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array, which was spotted with 45,101 probe sets (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Sample preparation for the array hybridization was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In short, 5 μg of total RNA was used to synthesize double-stranded cDNA using the GeneChip® Expression 3′-Amplification Reagents One-Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit (Affymetrix). Biotin-labeled cRNA was then synthesized from the cDNA using GeneChip® Expression 3′-Amplification Reagents for IVT Labeling (Affymetrix). After fragmentation, the biotinylated cRNA was hybridized to arrays at 45 °C for 16 h. The arrays were washed, stained with streptavidin-phycoerythrin, and scanned using a probe array scanner. The scanned chip was analyzed using the GeneChip Analysis Suite software (Affymetrix). Hybridization intensity data were converted into a presence/absence call for each gene, and changes in gene expression between experiments were detected by a comparison analysis. Data was shown as the fold change relative to the expression level of normal chow-fed mice.
