LMO3 reprogramms viseral adipocyte metabolism during obesity [Human]

ABSTRACT: Aims/Hypothesis. The aim of this study was to determine the potential involvement of LMO3-dependent pathways in the modulation of key functions of mature adipocytes during obesity. Methods. Based on a recently engineered hybrid rAAV serotype Rec2 shown to efficiently transduce both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT), we delivered YFP or Lmo3 to epididymal WAT (eWAT) of C57Bl6/J mice on a high fat diet (HFD). The effects of eWAT transduction on metabolic parameters were evaluated 10 weeks later. To further define the role of LMO3 in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, insulin signaling, adipocyte bioenergetics as well as endocrine function, experiments were conducted in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and newly differentiated human primary mature adipocytes, engineered for transient gain- or loss of LMO3 expression, respectively. Results. AAV transduction of eWAT results in strong and stable Lmo3 expression specifically in the adipocyte fraction over a course of 10 weeks with HFD feeding. Lmo3 expression in eWAT significantly improved glucose clearance and insulin sensitivity in diet-induced obesity, paralleled by increased serum adiponectin. On a molecular level, LMO3 expression in eWAT increased pathways indicative of adipogenesis and PPARg signaling as well as mitochondrial activity, paralleled by a suppression of adipose tissue fibrosis. In vitro, Lmo3 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake as well as mitochondrial oxidative capacity in addition to fatty acid oxidation. LMO3 overexpression promoted, while silencing of LMO3 suppressed, mitochondrial oxidative capacity in human mature adipocytes. Conclusions. LMO3 expression in visceral adipose tissue regulates multiple genes that preserve adipose tissue functionality during obesity, such as glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and adiponectin secretion. Together with increased PPARγ activity, these gene expression changes promote insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation, glucose uptake in addition to increased mitochondrial oxidative capacity, limiting HFD-induced adipose dysfunction. These data add LMO3 as a novel regulator improving visceral adipose tissue function during obesity.

Project description:Background. Obesity and body fat distribution are important risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Evidence has accumulated that this risk is related to intrinsic differences in behavior of adipocytes in different fat depots. LIM Domain Only 3 (LMO3) plays a crucial role in adipogenesis modulating the key adipogenic master switch PPARγ in human, but not mouse, visceral adipose progenitors; however, despite high expression in mature adipocytes, its function in these cells is currently unknown.

In vitro, Lmo3 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake as well as mitochondrial oxidative capacity in addition to fatty acid oxidation. On a molecular level, LMO3 augmented PPARg activity, oxidative mitochondrial gene expression, which depended on and the expression of the PPARg co-activator Ncoa1, which was required for LMO3 effects on mitochondria and glucose uptake. In human mature adipocytes, LMO3 overexpression promoted, while silencing of LMO3 suppressed mitochondrial oxidative capacity. Conclusions. LMO3 expression in visceral adipose tissue regulates multiple genes that preserve adipose tissue functionality during obesity, such as glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and adiponectin secretion.

Project description:We show that roscovitine; a cyclin-dependent kinases inhibitor; given to mice during the last six weeks of a 19-week high fat diet, reduced weight gain and prevented accompanying insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, visceral adipose tissue (eWAT) inflammation and fibrosis. It also restored insulin secretion and enhanced whole body energy expenditure. Proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis of eWAT demonstrated that Roscovitine induced a limited set of proteins associated with lipid metabolism, fatty acid oxidation metabolism and adipose tissue remodeling but suppressed expression of a larger array of peptides and phosphopeptides linked to inflammation and extracellular matrix proteins. Furthermore, the phosphoproteome analysis identified 17 putative protein kinases perturbed by roscovitine, including CMGC kinases [e.g., CDKs and MAPKs], AGC kinases [e.g., S6K and PKC isoforms], and CAMK kinases [e.g., SIK1 and SIK2]). Pathway enrichment analysis of annotated kinase-substrate pairs showed that lipid metabolism, TCA cycle, fatty acid beta oxidation and phosphatidylcholine and creatine biosynthesis are enriched following roscovitine treatment. The increased creatine pathways combined with more active mitochondria in eWAT may contribute to roscovitine-induced weight loss. Surprisingly, we found that unlike for eWAT, roscovitine led to up regulation of large sets of proteins and phosphosites in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Analysis of upstream kinases controlling the phosphoproteome revealed two major kinase groups (AGC kinases [e.g., PKD1 and PKA] and CMGC kinases [e.g., CDKs and MAPKs]. Among the top enriched pathways of kinase-substrate pairs were insulin signaling, regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes, thyroid hormone signaling, thermogenesis and cAMP-PKG signaling, suggesting that roscovitine led to a metabolically more active BAT. Overall, roscovitine treatment led to restoration of mitochondrial activity in BAT and eWAT suppressed by HFD, likely accounting for enhanced energy expenditure and weight loss.

Project description:Background: Systemic glucose homeostasis is affected by adipose cell function. Still, the cellular events preceding the onset of insulin resistance in adipocytes are not yet resolved. To capture the immediate cellular changes during diet-induced expansion of cell volume and number, we characterized the initial changes in mature adipocytes during a short high fat diet (HFD) intervention. Methods: C57BL6/J male mice were fed chow diet, and switched to HFD for 2, 4, 6 or 14 days. Systemic glucose clearance was assessed by glucose tolerance test. Adipose tissue was dissected for RNA seq analysis and cell size distribution analyzed using coulter counter technique. Insulin response in isolated adipocytes was measured by glucose uptake and Western blotting of insulin signaling intermediates. Confocal microscopy was used to assess autophagic flux in cells pre-incubated with rapamycin and chloroquine. Results: Switching to HFD was accompanied by an immediate adipose cell size expansion followed by recruitment of new adipocytes. Despite an increase in both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes, we observed a progressive decrease in insulin-stimulated activation of Protein Kinase B (PKB) Ser473, PKB Thr308 and Akt substrate of 160 (AS160) Tyr642, and onset of systemic insulin-resistance already after two days. Moreover, RNA-seq analysis of adipose tissue revealed marked changes in gene expression at day four, of which the most significant included genes directly involved in autophagy (Trp53Inp2 and Beclin1). Enhanced autophagy was observed in isolated adipocytes from HFD-fed mice, detected as an increased density of LC3-positive puncta by confocal microscopy, and increase of LC3II. Conclusions: HFD rapidly caused impaired insulin signal transduction in adipocytes, while both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake increased, which support the concept of spare signaling. Interestingly, our data suggests autophagy as one of the early cellular events that could contribute to insulin resistance.
