The transcriptomic changes induced by NREP downregulation in HepG2 cells

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the global transcriptomic changes induced by Neuronal Regeneration Related Protein (NREP) downregulation, we employed RNA-sequencing in HepG2 cells lacking NREP. Enriched pathway analyses of upregulated genes revealed pathways involved in cholesterol synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, NAFLD and PI3K-250 AKT signaling. In contrast, enriched downregulated genes included those for membrane trafficking, non-sense mediated decay, glucagon signaling, and cell-cycle. Differentially expressed genes included HMGCR (cholesterol synthesis) and TGFBR1 (TGF-β signaling and fibrosis).

The hepatic methylome of liver-specific insulin receptor knockout (LIRKO) mouse offspring

Project description:Liver-specific insulin receptor knockout (LIRKO) mouse is a unique non-dietary model of insulin resistant, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis that resembles several clinical features of the human metabolic syndrome. By enhanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) analysis of the livers of wild-type (WT) offspring of LIRKO mice, we identified that genes with differential DNA methylation were enriched for cholesterol synthesis, MAPK, AKT, insulin and TGF-β signaling, including the NREP and GDF15.

Intestinal deletion of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A Reductase promotes expansion of the resident stem cell compartment.

Project description:Objective: The intestine occupies the critical interface between cholesterol absorption and excretion. Despite this, surprisingly little is known about the role of de novo cholesterol synthesis in this organ, and its relationship to whole body cholesterol homeostasis. In addition to cholesterol, the mevalonate pathway is responsible for the synthesis of numerous non-sterol isoprenoids. Here we investigate the physiological importance of the mevalonate pathway within the intestine, through genetic deletion of the rate-limiting enzyme. Approach and Results: Mice lacking 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (Hmgcr) in intestinal villus and crypt epithelial cells were generated using a Villin-Cre transgene. In contrast to intestine-specific Srebp-2 and Scap knockouts, mice with intestinal-specific loss of Hmgcr are viable through adulthood and fertile. Hmgcr was efficiently deleted based on mRNA levels, as well as quantitative analysis of Hmgcr alleles by droplet digital PCR. Lipidomics revealed substantial reductions in the abundance of numerous non-sterol isoprenoids and sterol intermediates within the epithelial layer, while cholesterol levels were preserved. Although the intestinal knockout mice are born smaller, there is no net defect in feed efficiency or triglyceride absorption due to compensatory changes in bile acid composition and intestinal growth. At the cellular level, loss of Hmgcr is compensated for quickly after weaning through a dramatic expansion of the stem cell compartment within the crypts. Conclusions: Genetic loss of Hmgcr in the intestine is compatible with life, through mechanisms involving compensatory changes in bile acid composition, increased absorptive surface area, and expansion of the resident stem cell compartment.

Hnf-1β ChIP-Seq

Project description:Genome Wide mapping of Hnf-1β in kidney cells. Tissue-specific transcription factor that is expressed in the kidney and other epithelial organs. Humans with mutations in HNF1? develop kidney cysts, and HNF-1β regulates the transcription of several cystic disease genes. However, the complete spectrum of HNF-1β-regulated genes and pathways is not known. Here, we used ChIP-seq and DNA microarray analysis to identify 1,545 protein-coding genes that are directly regulated by HNF-1β in kidney epithelial cells. Pathway analysis predicted that HNF-1β regulates cholesterol metabolism. The expression of genes that are essential for cholesterol synthesis, including Srebf2 and Hmgcr, was reduced by expression of dominant-negative mutant HNF-1β or kidney-specific inactivation of HNF-1β. The levels of cholesterol biosynthetic intermediates and the rate of cholesterol synthesis were decreased in HNF-1β mutant cells. In addition, HNF-1β directly regulated the renal epithelial expression of PCSK9, a key regulator of cholesterol uptake, and depletion of cholesterol in the culture medium mitigated the inhibitory effects of mutant HNF-1β on SREBP-2 and HMGCR. These findings reveal a novel role of HNF-1β in regulating multiple steps in renal cholesterol metabolism.

RNA-seq of livers from mice treated for eight weeks with the glucagon receptor antibody, REGN1193, compared to mice treated with a control antibody, REGN1945, (control group)

Project description:Chronic glucagon receptor inhibition with a glucagon receptor antibody decreases amino acid catabolism and ureagenesis, while increasing plasma triglyceride concentrations, plasma very-low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, and liver triglyceride concentrations. To dissect the molecular mechanism underlying these effects, RNA sequencing of liver biopsies from female mice treated for eight weeks with the glucagon receptor antibody, REGN1193, or a control antibody, REGN1945, were performed.

β-Caryophyllene Enhances the Transcriptional Upregulation of SREBP-dependent Lipid Biosynthesis in Breast Cancer Cells

Project description:β-caryophyllene (BCP) exhibits anti-proliferative properties in cancer cells. Here, we examine the hypothesis that BCP induces membrane remodeling. Our data show that high concentrations of BCP increase membrane permeability of human breast cells (hBrC) causing detachment and cell death. At a “sub-lethal” concentration of BCP, we show that BCP induces a striking upregulation of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, including the gene that encodes for HMGCoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-determining step in cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is also upregulated which would lead to the enhanced formation of monounsaturated fatty acids, specifically oleate and palmitoleate from stearoyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, respectively. These fatty acids are major components of membrane phospholipids and cholesterol esters. Together, these data suggest that cells respond to BCP by increasing the synthesis of components found in membranes. These responses could be viewed as a repair mechanism and/or as a mechanism to mount resistance to the cytotoxic effect of BCP. Blocking HMGCR enhances the cytotoxicity of BCP, suggesting that this may provide an additional therapeutic tool in controlling breast cancer cell growth, assuming that targeted specificity could be established.

Gene expression analysis of H1299 cells in response to the presence or absence of glutamine or glucose

Project description:By a transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing in H1299 cells, a non-small cell lung cancer cell line (NSCLC), we determined the response of lipogenic genes to absence vs. presence of glutamine (Gln) or glucose (Gluc). We found that neither glutamine nor glucose alone was able to activate the expression of genes regulating fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, and uptake, including SREBF1, SREBF2, ACLY, ACACA, FASN, SCD1, HMGCR and LDLR, as compared to absence of both. And, activation of lipogenic genes required the presence of both glutamine and glucose, but SCAP gene expression was not affected by either glutamine or glucose. The RNA sequencing analysis in H1299 cells also confirmed that ammonia, similarly to glutamine, significantly activated the expression of genes controlling the fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis pathways as compared to glucose alone. This study detemines the intrinsic molecular connection between glutamine, glucose and lipid synthesis.

Human Tau Mutations in Cerebral Organoids Induce a Progressive Dyshomeostasis of Cholesterol

Project description:Mutations in the MAPT gene that encodes tau lead to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with pathology evident in both cerebral neurons and glia. Human cerebral organoids (hCOs) from individuals harboring pathogenic tau mutations can reveal the earliest downstream effects on molecular pathways within a developmental context generating interacting neurons and glia. We found that in hCOs carrying the V337M and R406W tau mutations, the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway in astrocytes was the top upregulated gene set compared to isogenic controls by scRNAseq. The 15 upregulated genes included HMGCR, ACAT2, STARD4, LDLR, and SREBF2. This result was confirmed in a homozygous R406W mutant cell line, by immunostaining and sterol measurements. Cholesterol abundance in the brain is tightly regulated by efflux and cholesterol biosynthetic enzyme levels in astrocytes, and dysregulation can cause aberrant phosphorylation of tau. Our findings suggest that cholesterol dyshomeostasis is an early event in the etiology of neurodegeneration caused by tau mutations.
