Characterization of ANGPTL4 function in macrophages and adipocytes using Angptl4-knockout and Angptl4-hypomorphic mice

ABSTRACT: ANGPTL4 regulates plasma lipids, making it an attractive target for correcting dyslipidemia. However, ANGPTL4 inactivation in mice fed a high fat diet causes chylous ascites, an acute-phase response, and mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Here, we studied the role of ANGPTL4 in lipid uptake in macrophages and in the above-mentioned pathologies using Angptl4-hypomorphic and Angptl4-/- mice. Angptl4 expression in peritoneal and bone marrow-derived macrophages was highly induced by lipids. Recombinant ANGPTL4 decreased lipid uptake in macrophages, whereas deficiency of ANGPTL4 increased lipid uptake, upregulated lipid-induced genes, and increased respiration. ANGPTL4 deficiency did not alter LPL protein levels in macrophages. Angptl4-hypomorphic mice with partial expression of a truncated N-terminal ANGPTL4 exhibited reduced fasting plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, and non-esterified fatty acid levels, strongly resembling Angptl4-/- mice. However, during high fat feeding, Angptl4-hypomorphic mice showed markedly delayed and attenuated elevation in plasma serum amyloid A and much milder chylous ascites than Angptl4-/- mice, despite similar abundance of lipid-laden giant cells in mesenteric lymph nodes. In conclusion, ANGPTL4 deficiency increases lipid uptake and respiration in macrophages without affecting LPL protein levels. Compared with the absence of ANGPTL4, low levels of N-terminal ANGPTL4 mitigate the development of chylous ascites and an acute-phase response in mice.

Feeding Angptl4-/- mice trans fat promotes foam cell formation in mesenteric lymph nodes without leading to ascites

Project description:ANGPTL4 regulates plasma triglyceride levels by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase. Inactivation of ANGPTL4 decreases plasma triglycerides and reduces risk of coronary artery disease. Unfortunately, targeting ANGPTL4 for the therapeutic management of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis is hampered by the observation that mice and monkeys in which ANGPTL4 is inactivated exhibit lipid accumulation in mesenteric lymph nodes. In mice these pathological events exclusively unfold upon feeding a high saturated fatty acid diet and are followed by an ultimately lethal pro-inflammatory response and chylous ascites. Here we show that Angptl4-/- mice fed a diet rich in trans fatty acids develop numerous lipid-filled giant cells in their mesenteric lymph nodes, yet do not have elevated serum amyloid and haptoglobin, do not exhibit ascites, and survive, unlike Angptl4-/- mice fed a saturated fatty acid-rich diet. In RAW264.7 macrophages the saturated fatty acid palmitate markedly increases markers of inflammation and the unfolded protein response, whereas the trans-unsaturated elaidate and the cis-unsaturated oleate have the opposite effect. In conclusion, trans and saturated fatty acids have very distinct biological effects. Furthermore, lipid accumulation in mesenteric lymph nodes is uncoupled from activation of an acute-phase response and chylous ascites, suggesting that ANGPTL4 should not be fully dismissed as target for dyslipidemia.

RNA sequence on the fed and fasted state of kidneys in mice

Project description:We studied whether the accumulation of lipids in the fasted kidney are derived from lipoproteins or (non-esterified fatty acids) NEFAs. With overnight fasting, kidneys accumulated triglyceride, but had reduced levels of ceramide and glycosphingolipid species. Fasting led to a nearly 5-fold increase in kidney uptake of plasma [14C]oleic acid. Increasing circulating NEFAs using a β adrenergic receptor agonist caused a 15-fold greater accumulation of lipid in the kidney, while mice with reduced NEFAs due to adipose tissue deficiency of adipose triglyceride lipase had reduced triglycerides. Cluster of differentiation (Cd)36 mRNA increased 2-fold, and angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4), an LPL inhibitor, increased 10-fold. Fasting-induced kidney lipid accumulation was not affected by inhibition of LPL with poloxamer 407 or by use of mice with induced genetic LPL deletion. Despite the increase in CD36 expression with fasting, genetic loss of CD36 did not alter fatty acid uptake or triglyceride accumulation. Our data demonstrate that fasting-induced triglyceride accumulation in the kidney correlates with the plasma concentrations of NEFAs, but is not due to uptake of lipoprotein lipids and does not involve the fatty acid transporter, CD36.

Adipocyte Specific Tribbles1 Regulates Plasma Adiponectin and Plasma Lipids in Mice

Project description:The goal of this study is to understand the role of adipocyte-specific Trib1 in adiponectin and plasma lipid regulation. Here, we report that adipocyte-specific Trib1 knockout mice (Trib1_ASKO) have increased plasma adiponectin levels and decreased plasma cholesterol and triglycerides. We demonstrate that loss of Trib1 increases adipocyte production and secretion of adiponectin independent of the known TRIB1 function of regulating proteasomal degradation. RNA-seq analysis of adipocytes and livers from Trib1_ASKO mice suggests that alterations in adipocyte function underlie the plasma lipid changes observed in these mice. Secretomics and RNA-seq analysis revealed that Trib1_ASKO mice have increased production of Lpl and decreased production of Angptl4 in adipose tissue, and fluorescent substrate assays confirm an increase in adipose tissue Lpl activity, which likely underlies the observed triglyceride phenotype. In summary, we demonstrate here a novel role for adipocyte Trib1 in regulating plasma adiponectin, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in mice, confirming previous genetic associations observed in humans and providing a novel avenue through which Trib1 regulates plasma lipids and coronary artery disease.

Angiopoietin-like 4 governs diurnal lipoprotein lipase activity in brown adipose tissue.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns fatty acids (FAs) to produce heat, and shows diurnal oscillation in glucose and triglyceride (TG)-derived FA-uptake, peaking around wakening. Here we aimed to gain insight in the diurnal regulation of metabolic BAT activity.METHODS: RNA-sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing and lipidomics analyses were performed on BAT samples of wild type C57BL/6J mice collected at 3-h intervals throughout the day. Knockout and overexpression models were used to study causal relationships in diurnal lipid handling by BAT.RESULTS: We identified pronounced enrichment of oscillating genes involved in extracellular lipolysis in BAT, accompanied by oscillations of FA and monoacylglycerol content. This coincided with peak lipoprotein lipase (Lpl) expression, and was predicted to be driven by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activity. ChIP-sequencing for PPARγ confirmed oscillation in binding of PPARγ to Lpl. Of the known LPL-modulators, angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) showed the largest diurnal amplitude opposite to Lpl, and both Angptl4 knockout and overexpression attenuated oscillations of LPL activity and TG-derived FA-uptake by BAT.CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight involvement of PPARγ and a crucial role of ANGPTL4 in mediating the diurnal oscillation of TG-derived FA-uptake by BAT, and imply that time of day is essential when targeting LPL activity in BAT to improve metabolic health.

Suppression of ANGPTL4 Reprograms Endothelial Cell Metabolism and Inhibits Angiogenesis

Project description:Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is known to regulate various cellular and systemic functions. However, its cell-specific role in endothelial cells (ECs) function and metabolic homeostasis remains to be elucidated. Here, using endothelial-specific Angptl4 knock-out mice (Angptl4iEC), and transcriptomics and metabolic flux analysis, we demonstrate that ANGPTL4 is required for maintaining EC metabolic function vital for vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Knockdown of ANGPTL4 in ECs promotes lipase-mediated lipoprotein lipolysis, which results in increased fatty acid (FA) uptake and oxidation. This is also paralleled by a decrease in proper glucose utilization for angiogenic activation of ECs. Mice with endothelial-specific deletion of Angptl4 showed decreased pathological neovascularization with stable vessel structures characterized by increased pericyte coverage and reduced permeability. Together, our study denotes the role of endothelial-ANGPTL4 in regulating cellular metabolism and angiogenic functions of EC.

The transcription factor cyclic AMP–responsive element–binding protein H regulates triglyceride metabolism

Project description:Here we report that the transcription factor cyclic AMP–responsive element–binding protein H (CREB-H, encoded by CREB3L3) is required for the maintenance of normal plasma triglyceride concentrations. CREB-H–deficient mice showed hypertriglyceridemia secondary to inefficient triglyceride clearance catalyzed by lipoprotein lipase (Lpl), partly due to defective expression of the Lpl coactivators Apoc2, Apoa4 and Apoa5 and concurrent augmentation of the Lpl inhibitor Apoc3. We identified multiple nonsynonymous mutations in CREB3L3 that produced hypomorphic or nonfunctional CREB-H protein in humans with extreme hypertriglyceridemia, implying a crucial role for CREB-H in human triglyceride metabolism. Total RNAs were isolated from the liver of three WT and three Creb3l3 deficient mice after a 24-h fasting. Littermates were used. Gene expression profiles were examined using Illumina WG-6 microarray chips.

Comparative expression data between ANGPTL4+/+ and ANGPTL4-/- mice whole colon tissue during DSS or SA-induced inflammation.

Project description:Protracted inflammatory responses are signatures common to many gastrointestinal disorders. Severe and chronic disorders often bring about extensive tissue damage, in turn leading to hypercytokinemia. Here, we show that stimuli like dextran sulphate sodium salt (DSS) and stearic acid (SA) cause acute colonic inflammation, and ANGPTL4 is an important regulator in mediating the extent of colonic inflammation. Using comparative microarray gene expression analysis, we seek to identify genes whose expression are altered during inflammation between ANGPTL4+/+ and ANGPTL4-/- mice.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of skin immune cells uncover a role for Angptl4-mediated ifi20b expression in monocyte cell fate differentiation during wound healing

Project description:Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4) is a matricellular protein that associates with extracellular matrix proteins, mediating complex cell-cell, and cell-matrix interactions. It has been implicated in various inflammation-associated diseases, including wound healing, but very few reports describe a direct role for Angptl4 in the immune landscape of wound microenvironment. Here, we studied whether Angptl4 regulates the immune response during wound healing. Using single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the temporal changes in the immune cell landscape of excisional wounds from wild type and Angplt4-knockout (Angplt4-/-) mice revealed that Angptl4-/- wounds had a stalled inflammatory phase. Infiltrated neutrophils remained elevated in the Angptl4-/- wounds due to an impaired monocyte to macrophage differentiation needed for clearance. The impaired monocyte differentiation was also validated in wounds using multi-color flow cytometry. Pairwise comparisons of differentially expressed genes from wound-derived and bone-marrow derived macrophages demonstrated few differences, suggesting that Angptl4 has a confined regulome. We identified interferon activated protein 202B (ifi202b) to be consistently upregulated in Angptl4-/- macrophages. . Pathway analysis further confirmed that ifi202b significantly impacted multiple gene networks involved in the cell fate of monocytes and the functions of monocyte-derived macrophages. Taken altogether, we conclude that Angptl4 orchestrates the inflammatory state, innate immune landscape, and healing process in the wound microenvironment via its transcriptional regulation on ifi202b.
