Accelerated Postnatal Growth Increases Lipogenic Gene Expression and Adipocyte Size in Low-Birth Weight Mice

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To characterize the hormonal milieu and adipose gene expression in response to catch-up growth (CUG), a growth pattern associated with obesity and diabetes risk, in a mouse model of low birth weight (LBW). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: ICR mice were food restricted by 50% from gestational days 12.5-18.5, reducing offspring birth weight by 25%. During the suckling period, dams were either fed ad libitum, permitting CUG in offspring, or food restricted, preventing CUG. Offspring were killed at age 3 weeks, and gonadal fat was removed for RNA extraction, array analysis, RT-PCR, and evaluation of cell size and number. Serum insulin, thyroxine (T4), corticosterone, and adipokines were measured. RESULTS: At age 3 weeks, LBW mice with CUG (designated U-C) had body weight comparable with controls (designated C-C); weight was reduced by 49% in LBW mice without CUG (designated U-U). Adiposity was altered by postnatal nutrition, with gonadal fat increased by 50% in U-C and decreased by 58% in U-U mice (P < 0.05 vs. C-C mice). Adipose expression of the lipogenic genes Fasn, AccI, Lpin1, and Srebf1 was significantly increased in U-C compared with both C-C and U-U mice (P < 0.05). Mitochondrial DNA copy number was reduced by >50% in U-C versus U-U mice (P = 0.014). Although cell numbers did not differ, mean adipocyte diameter was increased in U-C and reduced in U-U mice (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: CUG results in increased adipose tissue lipogenic gene expression and adipocyte diameter but not increased cellularity, suggesting that catch-up fat is primarily associated with lipogenesis rather than adipogenesis in this murine model.

Expression Data from Young Uteroplacental Insufficiency-induced Low Birth Weight Adult Guinea Pig Offspring

Project description:We aimed to gain mechanistic insights into the impact of uteroplacental insufficiency upon hepatic cholestrol metabolism pathways in young adult offspring.Uterine artery ablation-induced low birth weight (LBW) and normal birth weight (NBW) male and female guinea pig offspring were fed a control diet from weaning until postnatal day 150. Analysis of whole hepatic transcriptome results identified that between LBW and NBW offspring livers, 51 (29 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated) and 31 (8 up-regulated and 23 down-regulated) genes were differentially expressed in males and females respectively (fold change| >= 2 and p-value < 0.05). KEGG pathway analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed that “Cholesterol metabolism” was an enriched pathway in LBW males but not females (p<0.05).

Maternal Undernutrition Results in Transcript Changes in Male Offspring that May Promote Resistance to High Fat Diet Induced Weight Gain

Project description:Maternal nutrition during embryonic development and lactation influences multiple aspects of offspring health. Using mice, this study investigates the effects of maternal caloric restriction (CR) during mid-gestation and lactation on offspring neonatal development and on adult metabolic function when challenged by a high fat diet (HFD). The CR maternal model produced male and female offspring that were significantly smaller, in terms of weight and length, and females had delayed puberty. Adult offspring born to CR dams had a sexually dimorphic response to the high fat diet. Compared to offspring of maternal control dams, adult female, but not male, CR offspring gained more weight in response to high fat diet at 10 weeks. In adipose tissue of male HFD offspring, maternal undernutrition resulted in blunted expression of genes associated with weight gain and increased expression of genes that protect against weight gain. Regardless of maternal nutrition status, HFD male offspring showed increased expression of genes associated with nonalcoholic liver disease (NAFLD). Furthermore, we observed significant, sexually dimorphic differences in serum TSH. These data reveal tissue- and sex-specific changes in gene and hormone regulation following mild maternal undernutrition, which may offer protection against diet induced weight gain in adult male offspring.

RNA-sequencing analysis of paternal low-protein diet-induced gene expression change in mouse offspring adipocytes

Project description:Increasing evidence indicates that parental diet affects the metabolism and health of offspring. It is reported that paternal low-protein diet (pLPD) induces glucose intolerance and the expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis in mouse offspring liver. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of a pLPD on gene expression in offspring white adipose tissue (WAT), another important tissue for the regulation of metabolism. RNA-seq analysis indicated that pLPD up- and down-regulated 54 and 274 genes, respectively, in offspring WAT,. The mRNA expression of many genes involved in lipogenesis was down-regulated by pLPD feeding, which may contribute to glucose intolerance. The expression of carbohydrate response element-binding protein β (ChREBP-β), an important lipogenic transcription factor, was also significantly lower in the WAT of pLPD offspring, which may have mediated the down-regulation of the lipogenic genes. By contrast, the LPD did not affect the expression of lipogenic genes in the WAT of the male progenitor, but increased the expression of lipid oxidation genes, suggesting that a LPD reduces WAT mass by activating lipid oxidation, and that LPD may reduce WAT mass using differing mechanisms in parents and offspring. These findings add to our understanding of how paternal diet can regulate metabolism in their offspring.

Gene expression study reveals compromised Pattern Recognition Receptors and Interferon Signaling in fullterm Low birth Weight newborns

Project description:Low Birth Weight (LBW) newborns (with weight less than 2500g) suffer a higher frequency and severity of microbial infection than normal birth weight (NBW) newborns. Morbidity and mortality of LBW infants due to infectious diseases are known to be high and it has been associated with compromised immune functions, however, the complete understanding of the cause is lacking. We, therefore, conducted a gene expression study to identify all the defective pathways and functions in the LBW newborns using DNA microarray. RNA were isolated from the umbilical cord blood of the NBW and LBW newborns and processed for chip hybridisation. Our results suggest down-regulation of genes participating in several canonical pathways vital in the defense response against microbes and perpetuation of immune responses. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and Interferon signaling appear to be most significantly impacted pathways. The information generated from this study may help in depth understanding of the cause of higher frequency of infections in LBW and thus, in turn help devise better therapeutic interventions.

Gene Expression Profiles of Nondiabetic and Diabetic Obese Mice--Adipose tissue, Liver, Muscle and Islets

Project description:Obesity is a strong risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. We have previously reported that in adipose tissue of obese (ob/ob) mice, the expression of adipogenic genes is decreased. When made genetically obese, the BTBR mouse strain is diabetes susceptible and the C57BL/6J (B6) strain is diabetes resistant. We used DNA microarrays and RT-PCR to compare the gene expression in BTBR-ob/ob versus B6-ob/ob mice in adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreatic islets. Our results show: 1) there is an increased expression of genes involved in inflammation in adipose tissue of diabetic mice; 2) lipogenic gene expression was lower in adipose tissue of diabetes-susceptible mice, and it continued to decrease with the development of diabetes, compared with diabetes-resistant obese mice; 3) hepatic expression of lipogenic enzymes was increased and the hepatic triglyceride content was greatly elevated in diabetes-resistant obese mice; 4) hepatic expression of gluconeogenic genes was suppressed at the prediabetic stage but not at the onset of diabetes; and 5) genes normally not expressed in skeletal muscle and pancreatic islets were expressed in these tissues in the diabetic mice. We propose that increased hepatic lipogenic capacity protects the B6-ob/ob mice from the development of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes 52:688–700, 2003 Keywords: Genetic modifications

Effect of litter birth weight phenotype on transcriptomic response to swine influenza virus infection in pig lung

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in the lungs of pigs from high and low litter birth weight groups (HBW and LBW) inoculated with swine influenza virus. The aim of the experiment is to determine whether litter birth weight has an effect on the innate immune response to infection in pigs, and whether differences in gene expression can be linked to epigenetic differences between the two birth weight groups. A two condition experiment: lung tissue RNA from HBW and LBW SIV-infected pigs. 16 biological replicates for each condition, each hybridized with a reference to separate arrays. 32 arrays in total.

Tissue-autonomous regulation of adipose expansion by core clock protein REVERBα

Project description:The circadian clock coordinates energy metabolism, with REVERBα considered a dominant regulator of lipid metabolism. REVERBα is a core clock protein, which demonstrates robust rhythmic expression across metabolic tissues. Here, we explore its role in white adipose metabolism, and propose that REVERBα plays a key part in the response of adipose to obesity. Mice globally lacking Reverbα (Reverbα-/-) display adiposity, increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity, and up-regulation of the lipogenic proteome in white adipose depots. When Reverbα is deleted selectively in adipose (ReverbαFlox2-6AdipoCre), however, we observe only modest phenotypic and transcriptomic changes in the basal state, with altered regulation of clock and extracellular matrix (ECM) pathways. Thus the adipose-autonomous actions of REVERBα are shaped by context. On high-fat diet challenge, ReverbαFlox2-6AdipoCre mice accumulate more adipose mass than littermate controls, and are spared obesity-related inflammation. Gene expression analysis reveals pathways of lipid handling to be up-regulated. These findings therefore highlight a critical role for REVERBα in the regulation of adipose tissue expansion. Further, when transcriptomic data is integrated with the REVERBα cistrome, we detect strong associations of REVERBα binding sites, not only with the clock and ECM targets de-repressed under normal conditions, but with the broad range of metabolic genes unmasked as REVERBα targets by obesity. Thus our data favour a new interpretation of REVERBα function, not as conferring rhythmicity to lipogenesis, but as buffering against lipogenic cues asynchronous to the normal temporal routine.
