Role of human CYP2B6 in vivo in diet-induced obesity

ABSTRACT: To investigate the role of human CYP2B6 in vivo under high-fat diet conditions, we compared our previously developed Cyp2b triple knockout mouse lacking Cyp2b9, Cyp2b10, and Cyp2b13 (via CRISPER/Cas9; Cyp2b-null), to our newly developed humanized-CYP2B6-transgenic (hCYP2B6-Tg) mouse model (on a Cyp2b-null background). hCYP2B6-Tg and Cyp2b-null mice were fed a high-fat diet consisting of 60% fat for 16 weeks. RNA was extracted from the livers of female and male mice from both treatment groups and used for RNA seqencing. RNAseq and in gene ontology (GO) analysis indicate human CYP2B6 is important in protein processing and phosphorylation, hepatic circadian regulation, and lipid metabolism under HFD conditions.Circadian rhythm-associated genes were up-regulated in HFD-fed hCYP2B6-Tg mice compared to Cyp2b-null mice. Circadian regulation plays an important role in liver metabolism and metabolic disease. In addition, female hCYP2B6-Tg mice had several down-regulated genes involved in lipid metabolism compared to Cyp2b-null mice, notably Angptl8 (logFC = -1.24), a critical modulator of lipid metabolism that has been associated with metabolic disease. Genes identified by RNAseq analysis may contribute to the overall healthier metabolic profile of HFD-fed humanized mice compared to Cyp2b-null mice.

Project description:Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a widespread environmental pollutant with a long half-life and clearly negative outcomes on metabolic diseases such as fatty liver and diabetes. Male and female Cyp2b-null and humanized CYP2B6-transgenic (hCYP2B6-Tg) mice were treated with 0, 1, or 10 mg/kg/day PFOS for 21 days, and surprisingly it was found that PFOS was retained at greater concentrations in the serum and liver of hCYP2B6-Tg mice than Cyp2b-null mice with greater differences in the females. Thus, Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mice provide new models for investigating individual mechanisms for PFOS bioaccumulation and toxicity. Overt toxicity was greater in hCYP2B6-Tg mice (especially females) as measured by mortality; however, steato-sis occurred more readily in Cyp2b-null mice despite the lower PFOS liver concentrations. Tar-geted lipidomics and transcriptomics from PFOS treated Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mouse livers were performed and compared to PFOS retention and serum markers of toxicity by PCA. Several oxylipins, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and docosahexaenoic acid metabo-lites are associated or inversely associated with PFOS toxicity. Both lipidomics and tran-scriptomics indicate PFOS toxicity is associated with PPAR activity in all models. GO terms as-sociated with reduced steatosis were sexually dimorphic with lipid metabolism and transport increased in females and circadian rhythm associated genes increased in males. However, we can rule out that steatosis was initially protective from PFOS toxicity. Moreover, several transporters are associated with increased retention probably due to increased uptake. The strongest associa-tions are the organic anion transport proteins (Oatp1a4-6) genes and a long-chain fatty acid transport protein (fatp1), enriched in female hCYP2B6-Tg mice. PFOS uptake was also reduced in cultured murine hepatocytes by OATP inhibitors. The role of OATP1A6 and FATP1 in PFOS transport has not been tested. In summary, Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mice provided unique models for estimating the importance of novel mechanisms in PFOS retention and toxicity.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate alterations in subcutaneous white adipose gene expression induced by genetic AMPK activation in vivo, in mice fed a chow or a high-fat diet. Methods: Subcutaneous white adipose tissue mRNA profiles of wild-type transgenic (WT-Tg) mice and mice expressing a gain-of-function AMPK mutant gamma1 subunit (D316A-Tg) were generated by deep sequencing. Results: RNA sequencing revealed over 3000 differentially expressed genes between WT-Tg and D316A-Tg subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WATsc) from mice fed a high fat diet (HFD), of which many were classified as 'skeletal muscle-associated'. Interestingly, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), associated with 'beige' adipocyte formation in WATsc, was not differentially expressed. On a chow diet, many differentially expressed genes were also identified, with gene ontology analysis identifiying glycolysis, TCA cycle and brown fat differentiation as highly enriched; key features of brown adipocyte identity. HFD-associated skeletal-muscle associated gene expression was either not significantly altered, or significantly down-regulated on a chow diet, indicating a diet-induced gene signature in D316A-Tg WATsc. Conclusions: Our study revealed gene signatures indicative of brown adipocyte development on a chow diet, where no overt metabolic phenotype was observed in gain-of-function animals. When fed a HFD, WATsc from D316A-Tg mice displayed a muscle-like gene signature, expressing key components of creatine and calcium thermogenic cycles including Ckmt2 (creatine kinase, mitochondrial 2) Atp2a1 (SERCA1-sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase 1) and ryr1 (ryanodine receptor 1). UCP1 expression was not altered between WT-Tg and D316A-Tg mice fed a HFD. Our findings suggest a novel role for AMPK in the regulation of white adipocyte identity and a potentially novel cell population that, when metabolically challenged, preferrentially utilise muscle-like thermogenic futile cycles independent of UCP1 to mediate whole organism energy expenditure.
