Cytokine Signaling Co-opts the CREB/CRTC Pathway in Obesity

ABSTRACT: Obesity stimulates the infiltration of adipose tissue by innate immune cells, which in turn promote insulin resistance via the NFkB mediated induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which interfere with triglyceride metabolism. The cAMP responsive factor CREB has also been implicated in adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance, although the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we show that high fat diet (HFD) feeding triggers activation of the CREB cofactors CRTC2 and CRTC3, which bind to CREB and mediate induction of CXCL1 and other cytokine genes in cooperation with NFkB. HFD feeding reduced adipocyte C/EBPa expression in adipose, leading to decreases in the expression of Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2), which otherwise phosphorylates and sequesters CRTCs in the cytoplasm. Depletion of SIK2 in adipose led to dephosphorylation of CRTC2 and CRTC3 (CRTC2/3) and to the induction of CXCL1 and other cytokine genes in adipocytes. Indeed, CRTC2/3 were found to stimulate the expression of a subset of cellular genes cooperatively with NF-kB in adipocytes. Knockout of both CRTC2 and CRTC3 in adipose decreased the expression of CXCL1/2 and thereby reduced neutrophil and macrophage infiltration. As depletion of CXCL1/2, with neutralizing antiserum or by KO of the CXCL1 gene restored glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in the setting of diet induced obesity, our results demonstrate that NF-kB and CREB/CRTC pathways modulate adipose tissue function in part via cooperative effects on target gene expression.

CREB Coactivators CRTC2 and CRTC3 Modulate Bone Marrow Hematopoiesis

Project description:Populations of circulating immune cells are maintained in equilibrium through signals that enhance the retention or egress of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from bone marrow (BM). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulates HSC renewal and engraftment, for example, via induction of the cAMP pathway. Triggering of PGE2 receptors increases HSC survival in part via the PKA-mediated induction of the CREB signaling pathway. PKA stimulates cellular gene expression by phosphorylating CREB at Ser133 and by promoting the dephosphorylation of the cAMP Responsive Transcriptional Coactivators (CRTCs). We show here that disruption of both CRTC2 and CRTC3 causes embryonic lethality, and that a single allele of either CRTC2 or CRTC3 is sufficient for viability. CRTC2 knockout mice that express one CRTC3 allele (CRTC2/3m mice) develop neutrophilia and splenomegaly in adulthood due to the up-regulation of Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF); these effects are reversed following administration of neutralizing anti-G-CSF antiserum. Adoptive transfer of CRTC2/3m BM conferred the splenomegaly/neutrophilia phenotype on WT recipients. Indeed, targeted disruption of both CRTC2 and CRTC3 in stromal cells with a mesenchymal Prx1-Cre transgene also promoted this phenotype. Depletion of CRTC2/3 was found to decrease the expression of Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3 (SOCS3), leading to increases in STAT3 phosphorylation and to the induction of CEBPb, a key regulator of the G-CSF gene. As small molecule inhibition of JAK activity disrupted CEBPb induction and reduced G-CSF expression in CRTC2/3m stromal cells, our results demonstrate how cross-coupling between the CREB/CRTC and JAK/STAT pathways contributes to BM homeostasis.

Feedback Inhibition of CREB Signaling Promotes Beta Cell Dysfunction in Insulin Resistance.

Project description:Although persistent elevations in circulating glucose concentrations promote compensatory increases in pancreatic islet mass, unremitting insulin resistance causes a deterioration in beta cell function that disrupts glucose balance and signals the progression to diabetes 1. Glucagon like Peptide 1 (GLP1) agonists improve glucose tolerance in insulin resistance, although some individuals are unresponsive to treatment. Here we show that increases in GLP1 during feeding promote beta cell function in part through the PKA-mediated activation of CREB and its coactivator CRTC2 2. Mice with a knockout of CRTC2 in beta cells have impaired oral glucose tolerance due to decreases in circulating insulin concentrations. CRTC2 was found to promote beta cell function in part by stimulating the expression of the transcription factor MafA. Chronic hyperglycemia associated with high fat or high carbohydrate diet feeding disrupted cAMP signaling in pancreatic islets. Indeed, prolonged elevations in circulating glucose concentrations interfered with CREB signaling by activating the mTOR pathway and triggering the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF1)-dependent induction of the Protein Kinase A Inhibitor beta (PKIB), a potent inhibitor of PKA catalytic activity 3. As disruption of the PKIB gene restored glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in obesity, our results demonstrate how cross-talk between nutrient and hormonal pathways contributes to loss of pancreatic islet function in insulin resistance. Rat insulinoma cells were used to interrogate the impact of glucose exposure and CREB activity on cAMP dependent gene regulation in the pancreatic beta cells

CREB regulated transcriptional coactivator 2 proteome landscape is plausibly modulated by SREBF1

Project description:CRTC2 is a critical transcription cofactor that induces the glucose homeostatic genes by activating CREB. However, energy homeostasis is maintained by multiple pathways, therefore, it is possible that CRTC2 may interact with other transcription factors, especially under metabolic stress. Thereby, CRTC2 liver-specific knockout mice were created and the global proteome, phosphoproteome and acetylome from liver tissue under the high fat diet conditions were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and bioinformatics analysis. As expected, differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) are enriched in metabolic pathways that were subsequently corroborated by animal experiments. The consensus DEPs from these datasets were used as seed proteins to generate a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network using STRING and GeneMANIA identified fatty acid synthase (FASN) as the mutually relevant protein. Additional local-PPI (LPPI) analysis of CRTC2 and FASN with DEPs, SREBF1 was found to be a common mediator. CRTC2/CREB and SREBF1 are transcription factors, DNA-binding motif analysis showed multiple CRTC2/CREB regulated genes also possess SREBF1 binding motifs that unveil the possible induction by CRTC2/SREBF1 complex, which is reinforced by structural analysis. Thus, CRTC2/SREBF1 complex plausibly modulate the transcription of multiple proteins that fine-tune the cellular metabolism under metabolic stress.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila after fasting

Project description:In fasted mammals, glucose homeostasis is maintained through activation of the cAMP responsive CREB coactivator TORC2, which stimulates the gluconeogenic program in concert with the forkhead transcription factor FOXO1. Here we show that starvation also triggers TORC activation in Drosophila, where it maintains energy balance by promoting the expression of CREB target genes in the brain. TORC mutant flies have reduced glycogen and lipid stores, and they are sensitive to starvation as well as oxidative stress. Neuronal TORC expression rescued starvation and oxidative stress sensitivity as well as CREB target gene expression in TORC mutants. During refeeding, increases in insulin signaling inhibited TORC activity in wild type flies by stimulating the Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2)-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of TORC. Depletion of neuronal SIK2 increased TORC activity and enhanced resistance to starvation and oxidative stress in adult flies. As disruption of insulin signaling, either by ablation of insulin-producing cells (IPCs) or by mutation of the insulin receptor adaptor gene chico, also increased TORC activity, our results illustrate the importance of an insulin-regulated pathway in brain that promotes energy balance in Drosophila. Experiment Overall Design: Male fly heads were collected after 24h fasting, and RNA was extracted using RNAeasy kit.

SIK2 phosphorylation in response to glucagon or insulin in murine hepatocytes

Project description:The phosphorylation state of human HA-tagged-SIK2, adenovirally introduced in murine hepatocytes (C57/BL/6 strain) was analysed in unstimulated and in response to glucagon- or insulin- treated conditions. Background:- LKB1 is a master kinase that regulates metabolism and growth through AMPK and 12 other closely-related kinases. Liver-specific ablation of LKB1 causes increased glucose production in hepatocytes in vitro and hyperglycaemia in fasting mice in vivo. The salt-inducible kinases (SIK1, 2 and 3), members of the AMPK-related kinase family, play a key role as gluconeogenic suppressor downstream of LKB1 in the liver. A selective SIK inhibitor (HG-9-91-01) promotes dephosphorylation of transcriptional co-activators CRTC2/3 resulting in enhanced gluconeogenic gene expression and glucose production in hepatocytes, an effect that is abolished when an HG-9-91-01-insensitive-mutant-SIK is introduced or LKB1 is ablated. Although SIK2 was proposed as a key regulator of insulin-mediated suppression of gluconeogenesis, we provide genetic evidence that liver-specific ablation of SIK2 alone has no effect on gluconeogenesis and insulin does not modulate SIK2 phosphorylation/activity. Collectively, we demonstrate that the LKB1-SIK pathway functions as a key gluconeogenic gatekeeper in the liver.

Transcript profiling in WT and CRTC3 KO A375 cells.

Project description:Triggering of cAMP and mitogen-activated (MAPK) pathways in response to hormonal and growth factor cues promotes melanocyte pigmentation and survival in part through induction of the master regulator MITF by cAMP-responsive factor CREB. We examined the role of CREB coactivators (CRTC1-3) in transduction of cAMP and MAPK signals in melanocytes. We found that CRTC3 knock-out in mice and B16F1 melanoma cells decreases pigmentation by directly regulating the expression of the melanosomal transporter OCA2. In addition to effects of cAMP, CRTC3 activation was also promoted by ERK1/2-mediated phosphorylation at Ser391; amounts of phosphorylated CRTC3-S391 were constitutively elevated in human melanoma cells expressing mutated BRAF or NF1. Knock-out of CRTC3 in A375 melanoma cells impaired their anchorage-independent growth, migration and invasiveness, whereas CRTC3 over-expression increased survival in response to BRAF inhibition by vemurafenib. Analysis of spontaneous CRTC3 mutations in melanomas reveals that increased activity of this co-activator associates with reduced patient survival. Our results highlight the importance of CRTC3 in pigmentation and melanoma progression.
