Browning white adipose tissue using adipose stromal cell-targeted resveratrol-loaded nanoparticles for combating obesity.

ABSTRACT: Enhancing thermogenic energy expenditure via promoting the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) is a potential therapeutic strategy to manage energy imbalance and the consequent comorbidities associated with excess body weight. Adverse effects and toxicities of currently available methods to induce browning of WAT have retarded exploration of this promising therapeutic approach. Targeted delivery of browning agents to adipose stromal cells (ASCs) in subcutaneous WAT to induce differentiation into beige adipocytes may overcome these barriers. Herein, we report for the first time, ASC-targeted delivery of trans-resveratrol (R), a representative agent, using ligand-coated R-encapsulated nanoparticles (L-Rnano) that selectively bind to glycanation site-deficient decorin receptors on ASCs. After biweekly intravenous administration of L-Rnano to obese C57BL/6 J mice for 5 weeks targeted R delivery significantly induced ASCs differentiation into beige adipocytes, which subsequently resulted in 40% decrease in fat mass, accompanied by improved glucose homeostasis and decreased inflammation. Our results suggest that the ASC-targeted nanoparticle delivery of browning agents could be a transformative technology in combating obesity and its comorbidities with high efficacy and low toxicity.

Project description:Sepsis is a dysregulated systemic response to infection and can lead to organ damage and death. Obesity is a significant problem worldwide and affects outcomes from sepsis. Our laboratory demonstrated that white adipose tissue (WAT) undergoes browning during sepsis, a process whereby WAT adopts a brown adipose tissue phenotype. However, this browning process was not observed in obese mice during sepsis. White adipose tissue browning is detrimental in patients with burn injury and cancer. We hypothesize that norepinephrine (NE) induces WAT browning in nonobese mice but not in obese mice similarly to sepsis-induced WAT browning. Six-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were randomized to a high-fat diet or normal diet. After 6-7 wk of feeding, polymicrobial sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Norepinephrine was administered intraperitoneally via osmotic minipumps for 18 h or 72 h (no CLP) at which time tissue and plasma were harvested. Controls were mice that underwent CLP (no NE) with 18-h harvest. A separate group of mice underwent pretreatment with NE or vehicle infusion for 72 h, CLP was performed, and at 18 h had tissue and plasma harvested. Sepsis resulted in significant weight loss in both nonobese and obese mice. NE treatment alone caused weight loss in obese mice. Septic nonobese mice had higher uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) expression compared with control and obese septic mice. NE treatment increased UCP1 expression in nonobese, but not obese mice. NE-treated obese septic mice had lower lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), TNFα, and IL-6 levels compared with NE-treated nonobese septic mice. Obesity protects mice from septic-induced and NE-induced WAT browning.NEW & NOTEWORTHY White adipose tissue browning is detrimental in patients with burn injury and cancer. WAT browning occurs in nonobese mice and can be induced by β receptor norepinephrine infusion, but obese mice are resistant to sepsis-induced and norepinephrine-induced WAT browning. We propose that the lack of WAT browning and unchanged inflammatory cytokine response may contribute to the protection of obese mice from sepsis.
