Phosphatidylglycerols are induced by gut dysbiosis and inflammation, and favorably modulate adipose tissue remodeling in obesity.

ABSTRACT: Lipidomic techniques can improve our understanding of complex lipid interactions that regulate metabolic diseases. Here, a serum phospholipidomics analysis identified associations between phosphatidylglycerols (PGs) and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Compared with the other phospholipids, serum PGs were the most elevated in patients with low microbiota gene richness, which were normalized after a dietary intervention that restored gut microbial diversity. Serum PG levels were positively correlated with metagenomic functional capacities for bacterial LPS synthesis and host markers of low-grade inflammation; transcriptome databases identified PG synthase, the first committed enzyme in PG synthesis, as a potential mediator. Experiments in mice and cultured human-derived macrophages demonstrated that LPS induces PG release. Acute PG treatment in mice altered adipose tissue gene expression toward remodeling and inhibited ex vivo lipolysis in adipose tissue, suggesting that PGs favor lipid storage. Indeed, several PG species were associated with the severity of obesity in mice and humans. Finally, despite enrichment in PGs in bacterial membranes, experiments employing gnotobiotic mice colonized with recombinant PG overproducing Lactococcus lactis showed limited direct contribution of microbial PGs to the host. In summary, PGs are inflammation-responsive lipids indirectly regulated by the gut microbiota via endotoxins and regulate adipose tissue homeostasis in obesity.-Kayser, B.

Project description:Following cardiac injury, increased adrenergic drive plays an important role in compensating for reduced cardiac function. However, chronic excess adrenergic stimulation can be detrimental to cardiac pathophysiology and can also affect other organs including adipose tissue, leading to increased lipolysis. Interestingly, inhibition of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a rate-limiting enzyme in lipolysis, in adipocytes ameliorates cardiac dysfunction in a heart failure model. Thus, we investigated whether inhibition of adipocyte ATGL can mitigate the adverse cardiac effects of chronic adrenergic stimulation and explored the underlying mechanisms. To do this, isoproterenol (ISO) was continuously administered to C57Bl/6N mice for 2 wk with or without an ATGL inhibitor (Atglistatin). We found that Atglistatin alleviated ISO-induced cardiac remodeling and reduced ISO-induced upregulation of galectin-3, a marker of activated macrophages and a potent inducer of fibrosis, in white adipose tissue (WAT), heart, and the circulation. To test whether the beneficial effects of Atglistatin occur via inhibition of adipocyte ATGL, adipocyte-specific ATGL knockout (atATGL-KO) mice were utilized for similar experiments. Subsequently, the same cardioprotective effects of atATGL-KO following ISO administration were observed. Furthermore, Atglistatin and atATGL-KO abolished ISO-induced galectin-3 secretion from excised WAT. We further demonstrated that activation of cardiac fibroblasts by the conditioned media of ISO-stimulated WAT is galectin-3-dependent. In conclusion, the inhibition of adipocyte ATGL ameliorated ISO-induced cardiac remodeling possibly by reducing galectin-3 secretion from adipose tissue. Thus, inhibition of adipocyte ATGL might be a potential target to prevent some of the adverse effects of chronic excess adrenergic drive.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The reduction of lipolysis by adipocyte ATGL inhibition ameliorates cardiac remodeling induced by chronic β-adrenergic stimulation likely via reducing galectin-3 secretion from adipose tissue. Our findings highlight that suppressing lipolysis in adipocytes may be a potential therapeutic target for patients with heart failure whose sympathetic nervous system is activated. Furthermore, galectin-3 might be involved in the mechanisms by which excessive lipolysis in adipose tissues influences remote cardiac pathologies and thus warrants further investigation.

Project description:AbatractObesity is known to be associated with adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Importantly, in obesity, the accumulation of proinflammatory macrophages in adipose tissue correlates with insulin resistance. We hypothesized that the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and associated ligands are involved in adipose tissue insulin resistance, and that the activation of the AGE-RAGE axis plays an important role in obesity-associated inflammation. C57BL/6J mice (WT) and RAGE deficient (RAGE-/-) mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD) and subjected to glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Epdidymal adipose tissue (eAT) was collected and adipose stromal vascular cells isolated using flow cytometry. Visceral adipose tissue macrophage polarization was assessed by quantitative real time PCR. Immunoblotting was performed to evaluate the insulin signaling in adipose tissues. In additional studies, cell trafficking was assessed by injecting labeled blood monocytes into recipient mice. RAGE-/- mice displayed improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, accompanied by decreased body weight and eAT mass. Exogenous methylglyoxal (MGO) impaired insulin-stimulated AKT signaling in adipose tissues from WT mice fed a normal chow diet, but not in RAGE-/- mice. In contrast, in obese mice, treatment with MGO did not reduce insulin-induced phosphorylation of AKT in WT-HFD mice. Moreover, insulin-induced AKT phosphorylation was found to be impaired in adipose tissue from RAGE-/--HFD mice. RAGE-/- mice displayed improved inflammatory profiles and evidence for increased adipose tissue browning. This observation is consistent with the finding of reduced plasma levels of FFA, glycerol, IL-6, and leptin in RAGE-/- mice compared to WT mice. Collectively the data demonstrate that RAGE-mediated adipose tissue inflammation and insulin-signaling are potentially important mechanisms that contribute to the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance.
