Activation of natriuretic peptides and the sympathetic nervous system following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is associated with gonadal adipose tissues browning.

ABSTRACT: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective method of weight loss and remediation of type-2 diabetes; however, the mechanisms leading to these improvements are unclear. Additionally, adipocytes within white adipose tissue (WAT) depots can manifest characteristics of brown adipocytes. These 'BRITE/beige' adipocytes express uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and are associated with improvements in glucose homeostasis and protection from obesity. Interestingly, atrial and B-type natriuretic peptides (NPs) promote BRITE/beige adipocyte enrichment of WAT depots, an effect known as "browning." Here, we investigate the effect of RYGB surgery on NP, NP receptors, and browning in the gonadal adipose tissues of female mice. We propose that such changes may lead to improvements in metabolic homeostasis commonly observed following RYGB.Wild type, female, C57/Bl6 mice were fed a 60% fat diet ad libitum for six months. Mice were divided into three groups: Sham operated (SO), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and Weight matched, sham operated (WM-SO). Mice were sacrificed six weeks following surgery and evaluated for differences in body weight, glucose homeostasis, adipocyte morphology, and adipose tissue gene expression.RYGB and calorie restriction induced similar weight loss and improved glucose metabolism without decreasing food intake. ?3-adrenergic receptor expression increased in gonadal adipose tissue, in addition to Nppb (BNP), and NP receptors, Npr1, and Npr2. The ratio of Npr1:Npr3 and Npr2:Npr3 increased in RYGB, but not WM-SO groups. Ucp1 protein and mRNA, as well as additional markers of BRITE/beige adipose tissue and lipolytic genes increased in RYGB mice to a greater extent than calorie-restricted mice.Upregulation of Nppb, Npr1, Npr2, and ?3-adrenergic receptors in gonadal adipose tissue following RYGB was associated with increased markers of browning. This browning of gonadal adipose tissue may underpin the positive effect of RYGB on metabolic parameters and may in part be mediated through upregulation of natriuretic peptides.

Project description:To map the genetics of gene expression in metabolically relevant tissues and investigate the diversity of expression SNPs (eSNPs) in multiple tissues from the same individual, we collected four tissues from approximately 1,000 patients undergoing Roux-en-y gastric bypass and clinical traits associated with their weight loss and co-morbidities. We then performed high-throughput genotyping and gene expression profiling and carried out a genome-wide association analyses for more than one hundred thousand gene expression traits representing four metabolically relevant tissues; liver, subcutaneous adipose, omental adipose and stomach. We successfully identified 24,531 eSNPs corresponding to ~10,000 distinct genes. This represents the greatest number of eSNPs identified to our knowledge by any study to date and the first study to identify eSNPs from stomach tissue. We then demonstrate how these eSNPs provide a high quality disease map for each tissue in morbidly obese patients to not only inform genetic associations indentified in this cohort, but in previously published genome wide association studies as well. eSNPs and gene co-expression modules identification in morbidly obese patients represent a great resource that will aid in elucidating the key networks associated with morbid obesity, response to RYGB and disease as a whole. Keywords: Tissue profiling in a human cohort. Subcutaneous adipose tissue was collected from patients at the time of RYGB surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital between 2000 and 2007. Samples were collected in RNAlater (Ambion/Applied Biosystems), stored at -80° and shipped to Rosetta Inpharmatics Gene Expression Laboratory Seattle, WA for extraction, amplification, labeling, and microarray processing. Samples processed ranged in size from 100-200mg. Total RNA extracted from subcutaneous adipose was converted to fluorescently labeled cRNA that was hybridized to custom 44K DNA oligonucleotide microarrays manufactured by Agilent Technologies as described previously (Hughes et al. 2001; Schadt et al. 2008). Successful gene expression profiling results were collected from 701 subcutaneous adipose samples.
