Fasting does not promote a metabolic memory effect in mouse liver

ABSTRACT: Background: Tissues may respond differently to a particular stimulus if they have been previously exposed to that same stimulus. Here we tested the hypothesis that a strong metabolic stimulus may elicit a memory effect in the liver. To that end, we examined whether prior fasting, which profoundly impacts hepatic nutrient metabolism, may influence the metabolic response to a subsequent fast. Methods: 24 mice were exposed to two 16h fasts over a 8 week period, each time being allowed to return to their normal growth trajectory, while another group of 24 mice was fed ad libitum throughout. Of each group, half of the mice were euthanized after a 16h fast, whereas the other half was euthanized in the ab libitum fed state. Results: An acute fast significantly increased plasma NEFA, glycerol, β-hydroxybutyrate and liver triglycerides, and decreased plasma glucose, triglycerides, and liver glycogen levels. An acute fast also markedly changed the liver transcriptome, upregulating genes involved in fatty acid catabolism and downregulating genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, and majorly impacted the liver metabolome, reducing the levels of numerous amino acids, glycolysis and TCA cycle intermediates, and nucleotides. However, none of the these changes were significantly influenced by prior fasting. The limited number of genes that were significantly altered by prior fasting are likely false positives. Finally, no significant effect was observed of prior fasting on glucose tolerance. Conclusion: We conclude that previous exposure to fasting in mice does not influence the metabolic response to a subsequent fast, thus arguing against the concept of metabolic memory in the hepatic response to fasting.

Metabolic and Molecular Framework for the Enhancement of Endurance by Intermittent Fasting

Project description:Evolutionary considerations suggest that the body has been optimized to perform at a high level in the fasted state when fatty acids and their ketone metabolites are a major fuel source for muscle cells. Because fasting is the most potent physiological stimulus for ketosis, we designed a study to determine the impact of intermittent fasting during endurance training on performance, and to elucidate the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. Male mice were randomly assigned to either ad libitum feeding or alternate-day fasting (AF) groups, and half of the mice in each diet group were trained daily on a treadmill for 1 month (45 minutes of running with increasing speed or incline each week). A run to exhaustion endurance test performed at the end of the training period revealed superior performance in the mice maintained on AF during training compared to mice fed ad libitum during training. VO2max was increased similarly by treadmill training in mice on AF or ad libitum diets, whereas respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was reduced in AF mice on fasting days and during running. Analyses of gene expression in liver and soleus tissues, and metabolomics analysis of blood suggest that the metabolic switch invoked by AF and potentiated by exercise strongly modulate molecular pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, metabolism and cellular plasticity. Our findings demonstrate intermittent fasting engages metabolic and cellular signaling pathways that result in increased metabolic efficiency and endurance capacity.

Liver, Adipose Tissue, and Skeletal Muscle from adult male offspring of maternal nutrient restriction in mice

Project description:Pregnant CD-1 mice were fed control (ad libitum) and 70% total food (g) (MNR) diets from E6.5-birth. At birth, litters with 11-15 pups were cross-fostered to ad libitum-fed mothers. At weaning, males were kept for analysis and fed ad libitum until 6 months when they were euthanized by CO2 necropsis for quadriceps femoris, right medial liver lobe and perigonadal adipose tissue. Tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen until total RNA isolations were done on whole-tissue homogenate. Libraries were made with polyA enrichment and sequenced. Differential expression between maternal nutrition or glucose tolerance groups (glucose intolerant MNR, tolerant MNR, MNR with a high fasting blood glucose [IFBG] and controls).

Transcriptome profiling of feeding-to-fasting transition in chicken liver using a chicken 20K oligo microarray

Project description:Four weeks old male broilers, fed ad libitum or fasted for 16h or 48h were used to describe the evolution of global gene expression profiles in chicken liver during a 48h fasting period using a chicken 20K oligo array. Among the 20460 oligos on the microarray, 13057 were identified as aligning with a unique coding region of the 2.1 Washington University assembly of the chicken sequence genome. So the statistical analyses were performed on this 13057 gene set. A total number of 2062 differentially expressed genes were identified. The number of genes differentially expressed after 48h of fasting compared to the Fed state was 4-fold higher than after 16h of fasting. Analysis was focused on 1162 genes selected among these 2062 genes for which a human ortholog could be identified, thus allowing functional information collect. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validated our results. Keywords: Chicken fasted, transcriptional profiling, differentially expressed genes

Transcriptomic signature of fasting in murine adipose tissue

Project description:Little is known about the impact of fasting on gene regulation in human adipose tissue. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fasting on adipose tissue gene expression in humans. To that end, subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were collected from volunteers 2h and 26h after consumption of a standardized meal. For comparison, epididymal adipose tissue was collected from C57Bl/6J mice after a 16h fast and in the ab-libitum fed state. Transcriptome analysis was carried out using Affymetrix microarrays. We found that, 1) fasting downregulated numerous metabolic pathways in human adipose tissue, including triglyceride and fatty acid synthesis, glycolysis and glycogen synthesis, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial translation, and insulin signaling; 2) fasting downregulated genes involved in proteasomal degradation in human adipose tissue; 3) fasting had much less pronounced effects on the adipose tissue transcriptome in humans than mi ce; 4) although major overlap in fasting-induced gene regulation was observed between human and mouse adipose tissue, many genes were differentially regulated in the two species, including genes involved in insulin signaling (PRKAG2, PFKFB3), PPAR signaling (PPARG, ACSL1, HMGCS2, SLC22A5, ACOT1), glycogen metabolism (PCK1, PYGB), and lipid droplets (PLIN1, PNPLA2, CIDEA, CIDEC). In conclusion, although numerous genes and pathways are regulated similarly by fasting in human and mouse adipose tissue, many genes show very distinct responses to fasting in humans and mice. Our data provide a useful resource to study adipose tissue function during fasting.

Effects of extensive fasting and subsequent feeding on hepatic transcription

Project description:Temporally restricted feeding has a profound effect on the circadian clock. Fasting and feeding paradigms are known to influence hepatic transcription. This dataset shows the dynamic effects of refeeding mice after a 24hour fasting period. Mice were entrained for two weeks under ad libitum access to food. Mice were then released into constant darkness and food was withdrawn at CT4 on the first day in constant darkness. On the second day in constant darkness mice were either fed (Refed) or continously fasted (Fast) at CT4. Liver tissue was collected at the indicated timepoints. Total RNA was extracted and standard Affymetrix protocol were used for amplification, labeling and hybridization

RNA-Seq analyses of liver samples in mice fed ad libitum or subject to a 24 hr fast

Project description:To systemically identify long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulating energy metabolism, we performed transcriptome analyses to simultaneously profile mRNAs and lncRNAs in key metabolic organs in mice under pathophysiologically representative metabolic conditions by using a microarray platform (Mouse LncRNA Array V2.0, Arraystar). This microarray platform has been thoroughly evaluated for detecting mRNAs, but to further confirm its accuracy in detecting lncRNA expression at a genome-wide level, we performed RNA-seq for the same ad libitum and fasting liver samples used for the microarray. For those differentially expressed lncRNAs (fasting vs ad libitum) identified by microarray, 93.4% could be detected by RNA-seq and the Pearson correlation between microarray and RNA-seq of expression changes for these lncRNAs is 0.71.

Fasting-sensitive SUMO-switch on Prox1 controls hepatic cholesterol metabolism

Project description:Accumulation of excess nutrients hampers proper liver function and is linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obesity. However, the signals responsible for an impaired adaptation of hepatocytes to obesogenic dietary cues remain still largely unknown. Post-translational modification by the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO), allows for adynamic regulation of numerous processes including transcriptional reprograming. We demonstrate that specific SUMOylation of transcription factor Prox1 represents a nutrient-sensitive determinant of hepatic fasting metabolism. Prox1 was highly SUMOylated on lysine 556 in the liver of ad libitum and re-fed mice, while this modification was abolished upon fasting. In the context of diet-induced obesity, Prox1 SUMOylation became less sensitive to fasting cues. The hepatocyte-selective knock-in of a SUMOylation-deficient Prox1 mutant into mice fed a high-fat/high-fructose diet led to a reduction of systemic cholesterol levels, associated with the induction of liver bile acid detoxifying pathways during fasting. The generation of tools to maintain the nutrient-sensitive SUMO-switch on Prox1 may thus contribute to the development of “fasting-based” approaches for the preservation of metabolic health.

Transcription profiling of pig liver and fat tissues during fasting from animals MC4R D298N variant

Project description:Transcriptional profiling coupled with blood metabolite analyses were used to identify porcine genes and pathways that respond to a fasting treatment or to a D298N missense mutation in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene. Gilts (12 homozygous for D298 and 12 homozygous for N298) were either fed ad libitum or fasted for 3 days. Fasting decreased body weight and backfat and increased serum concentrations of non-esterified fatty acid and urea. In response to fasting, 7,029 genes in fat and 1,831 genes in liver were differentially expressed (DE, q value less than 0.05). MC4R genotype did not affect gene expression, body weight, backfat depth, and any measured serum metabolite concentration. Pathway analyses of fasting-induced DE genes indicated that both liver and fat down-regulated energetically costly processes such as lipid and steroid synthesis and up-regulated efficient energy utilization pathways. Fasting increased expression of genes in involved in glucose sparing pathways in liver and extracellular matrix pathways in adipose tissue. Within the DE genes, transcription factors (TF) that regulate many DE genes were identified, confirming the involvement of TF that are known to regulate fasting response and implicating additional TF that are not known to be involved in energy homeostatic responses. Interestingly, estrogen receptor 1 transcriptionally controls fasting induced genes in fat that are involved in cell matrix morphogenesis. Our findings indicate a transcriptional response to fasting in two key metabolic tissues of pigs that was corroborated by changes in blood metabolites; and involvement of novel putative transcriptional regulators in the immediate adaptive response to fasting. Experiment Overall Design: Gilts (n=24; 12 wildtype and 12 homozygous for D298N) were either fed ad libitum or fasted for 3 days in a completely randomized complete block design with a 2x2 factorial treatment structure.

Post-fast refeeding enhances intestinal stem cell mediated regeneration and tumorigenesis through mTORC1 signaling and polyamine

Project description:For more than a century, fasting regimens have been shown to improve health, lifespan, and tissue regeneration in diverse model organisms and humans. However, important questions remain regarding how fasting and refeeding cycles stimulate stem cell output and how this influences their role in early tumor formation. Here, we demonstrate that in the mammalian intestine, a short 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour refeeding period (that is, post-fast refeeding) and not fasting itself elevates the stemness program and regenerative capacity of Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Furthermore, loss of the tumor suppressor APC in post-fast refed ISCs significantly boosts tumor incidence in the small intestine and colon compared to those in the fasted or ad libitum fed states. Mechanistically, robust induction of insulin-PI3K-mTORC1 signaling as well as elevated intestinal polyamines level increase protein synthesis in post-fast refed ISCs to mediate these changes as inhibition of mTORC1, polyamine, or protein synthesis abrogate the regenerative or tumorigenic effects of post-fast refeeding. Thus, our data indicate that post-fast refeeding leads to a burst not only in stem cell-driven regeneration but also in tumorigenicity and that careful consideration be given to fast-refeeding cycles when planning diet-based strategies.
