RIPK1 gene variants associate with increased obesity in humans and can be therapeutically silenced to improve metabolic dysfunction in obese mice

ABSTRACT: Obesity is a major public health burden worldwide, greatly increasing the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Obesity and associated insulin resistance are characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation driven by the cooperation of the innate immune system and dysregulated metabolism in adipose tissue and other metabolic organs. RIPK1 (Receptor-Interacting serine/threonine Protein Kinase 1) is a central regulator of inflammatory cell function that coordinates inflammation, apoptosis and necroptosis in response to inflammatory stimuli. Here, we show that genetic polymorphisms near the human RIPK1 locus associate with increased RIPK1 gene expression in adipose tissue and are strongly linked with the risk of obesity in a human population. We show that one of these SNPs is within a binding site for E4BP4 and increases RIPK1 promoter activity and RIPK1 gene expression in adipose tissue. Therapeutic silencing of RIPK1 in vivo in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity dramatically reduces fat mass, total body weight and improves insulin sensitivity, while simultaneously reducing macrophage and promoting invariant natural killer T-cell accumulation in adipose tissue. These findings demonstrate RIPK1 is a genetic driver of obesity in humans, and that reducing RIPK1 expression is a potential novel therapeutic approach to target obesity and related diseases.

TBK1 suppresses RIPK1-driven apoptosis and inflammation during development and in aging

Project description:Aging is a major risk factor for both genetic and sporadic neurodegenerative disorders. However, it is unclear how aging interacts with genetic predispositions to promote neurodegeneration. Here we investigate how partial loss-of-function of TBK1, a major genetic cause for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) comorbidity, leads to age-dependent neurodegeneration. We show that TBK1 is an endogenous inhibitor of RIPK1 and the embryonic lethality of Tbk1-/- mice is dependent on RIPK1 kinase activity. In aging human brains, another endogenous RIPK1 inhibitor, TAK1, exhibits a marked decrease in expression. We show that in Tbk1+/- mice, the reduced myeloid TAK1 expression promotes all the key hallmarks of ALS/FTD, including neuroinflammation, TDP-43 aggregation, axonal degeneration, neuronal loss and behavior deficits, which are blocked upon inhibition of RIPK1. Thus, aging facilitates RIPK1 activation by reducing TAK1 expression, which cooperates with genetic risk factors to promote the onset of ALS/FTD.

Expression data from human adipose tissue

Project description:Obesity is a risk factor for numerous metabolic disorders; however, not all obese individuals are prone to insulin resistance. The central aim of this study was to identify molecular pathways directly related to insulin resistance independent of BMI in obesity. We sought to determine the gene expression signature of adipose tissue in a body mass index (BMI)-matched obese cohort of patients that are either insulin sensitive or insulin resistant. We determined the global gene expression signatures of omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples obtained from insulin-sensitive obese and insulin-resistant obese patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery.

Glucocorticoid Activation of Anti-Inflammatory Macrophages in Coordination with STAT6 Protects Against Insulin Resistance

Project description:Deletion of the GC receptor (GR) in macrophages in mice, aggravates obesity-related insulin resistance, by reducing anti-inflammatory macrophages, and enhancing adipose tissue inflammation. Consequently, the reduction of anti-inflammatory macrophages leads to exaggerated adipose tissue lipolysis and severe hepatic steatosis. Mechanistically, macrophages deficient for GR show a diminished response to IL-4 driven anti-inflammatory polarization, due to disruption of an epigenetic crosstalk between GC and IL-4 signaling involving synergistic loading of GR and STAT6. Our results demonstrate that GR plays an important role in macrophage polarization during obesity by limiting adipose tissue inflammation and lipolysis to promote insulin sensitivity

Removal of visceral adipose tissue prevents obesity-induced multi-organ insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD in mice

Project description:Obesity is associated with insulin resistance, an important risk factor of type 2 diabetes, atherogenic dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular disease. It has been postulated that accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) causes obesity-induced insulin resistance. The major purpose of this study was to test hypothesis that prophylactic VAT removal prevents the development of obesity-induced multi-organ (liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue) insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD. Accordingly, we surgically removed epididymal VAT from adult C57BL/6J mice and then evaluated in vivo and cellular metabolic pathways involved in glucose and lipid metabolism following feeding of chronic high-fat diet (HFD). We found that VAT removal prevented HFD-induced insulin resistance and markedly increased AKT-mediated insulin signaling in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), liver, and skeletal muscle. VAT removal improved plasma lipid profiling and prevented obesity-induced NAFLD. In addition, VAT removal significantly increased circulating level of adiponectin, a key insulin-sensitizing adipokine, whereas it decreased interleukin-6, a pro-inflammatory adipokine. Data obtained from RNA-sequencing suggest that VAT removal prevents obesity-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in liver and SAT respectively. These findings demonstrate the causative role of VAT in the development of obesity and related systemic metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD.

Next Generation Sequencing to check the enrichment of RIPK1/BAF on chromatin, RIPK1-dependent chromatin state and RIPK1-dependent transcriptome during inflammatory responses.

Project description:RIPK1 is a master regulator of multiple cell death pathways, including apoptosis and necroptosis, and inflammation. Multiple RIPK1 inhibitors have been advanced into human clinical trials as new therapeutics for human inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS and AD. However, while the mechanism of cytosolic RIPK1 in control of cell death has been extensively investigated, how the activation of RIPK1 may promote transcription of proinflammatory cytokines is unclear as a nuclear function of RIPK1 has not been explored, nor is it clear if and how RIPK1 kinase activity may directly mediate inflammation independent of cell death. Here we show that nuclear RIPK1 is recruited by specific transcription factors and binds to the BAF complex on active enhancers and promoters marked by H3K4me1 and H3K27ac. Nuclear RIPK1 mediates the phosphorylation of SMARCC2, a key component of the BAF complex, to promote chromatin remodeling and the transcription of specific proinflammatory genes. Our results suggest that RIPK1 kinase serves a transcriptional coregulator in nucleus that can transmit extracellular stimuli to BAF complex to modulate the chromatin accessibility and directly regulate the transcription of specific genes involved in mediating inflammatory responses.

Hepatocyte-Specific TAK1 Deficiency Drives RIPK1 Kinase-dependent Inflammation to Promote Liver Fibrosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Project description:Transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase1 (TAK1) encoded by the gene MAP3K7 regulates multiple important downstream effectors involved in immune response, cell death and carcinogenesis. Hepatocyte-specific deletion of TAK1 in Tak1_Hep mice promotes liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) formation. Here, we report that genetic inactivation of RIPK1 kinase using kinase dead knock-in D138N mutation in Tak1_Hep mice inhibits the expression of liver tumor biomarkers, liver fibrosis and HCC formation. Inhibition of RIPK1, however, has no or minimum effect on hepatocyte loss and compensatory proliferation, which are the recognized factors important for liver fibrosis and HCC development. Using single cell RNA-seq, we discover that inhibition of RIPK1 strongly suppresses inflammation induced by hepatocyte-specific loss of TAK1. Activation of RIPK1 promotes the transcription of key proinflammatory cytokines, such as CCL2, and CCR2+ macrophage infiltration. Our study demonstrates the role and mechanism of RIPK1 kinase in promoting inflammation, both cell-autonomously and cell-non-autonomously, in the development of liver fibrosis and HCC, independent of cell death and compensatory proliferation. We suggest the possibility of inhibiting RIPK1 kinase as a therapeutic strategy for reducing liver fibrosis and HCC development by inhibiting inflammation.
