Project description:In utero undernutrition is associated with obesity and insulin resistance, although its effect on skeletal muscle remains poorly defined. We report that, in mice, adult offspring from undernourished dams have decreased energy expenditure, decreased skeletal muscle mitochondrial content, and altered energetics in isolated mitochondria and permeabilized muscle fibers. Strikingly, when these mice are put on a 40% calorie restricted diet they lose half as much weight as calorie restricted controls. Our results reveal for the first time that in utero undernutrition alters metabolic physiology having a profound effect on skeletal muscle energetics and response to calorie restriction in adulthood. We have used a mouse model of low birth weight generated through 50% food restriction of mouse dams during the third week of gestation. We have studied in utero food restricted offspring and control offspring that were not food restricted in utero in both the ad libitum and calorie restricted states. Gene expression profiling was performed on tibialis anterior muscle from 8 mice per group, pooled in pairs.

Project description:Maternal obesity can program metabolic syndrome in offspring but the mechanisms are not well characterized. Moreover, the consequences of maternal overnutrition in the absence of frank obesity remain poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the effects of maternal consumption of a high fat-sucrose diet on the skeletal muscle metabolic and transcriptional profiles of adult offspring. Female Sprague Dawley rats were fed either a diet rich in saturated fat and sucrose (HFD, 23.5% fat, 20% sucrose wt/wt) or a standard chow diet (NFD, 7% fat, 10% sucrose w/w) for the 3 weeks prior to mating and throughout pregnancy and lactation. Although maternal weights were not different between groups at conception or weaning, HFD dams were ~22% heavier than chow fed dams from mid-pregnancy until 4 days post-partum. Adult male offspring of HFD dams were not heavier than controls but demonstrated features of insulin resistance including elevated plasma insulin concentration (+40%, P<0.05). Next Generation mRNA Sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed genes in the soleus muscle of offspring, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to detect coordinated changes that are characteristic of a biological function. GSEA identified 15 pathways enriched for up-regulated genes, including cytokine signaling (P<0.005), starch and sucrose metabolism (P<0.017), and inflammatory response (P<0.024). A further 8 pathways were significantly enriched for down-regulated genes including oxidative phosphorylation (P<0.004) and electron transport (P<0.022). Western blots confirmed a ~60% reduction in the phosphorylation of the insulin signaling protein Akt (P<0.05) and ~70% reduction in mitochondrial complexes II (P<0.05) and V expression (P<0.05). On a normal diet, offspring of HFD dams developed an insulin resistant phenotype, with transcriptional evidence of muscle cytokine activation, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction. These data indicate that maternal overnutrition, even in the absence of pre-pregnancy obesity can promote metabolic dysregulation and predispose offspring to type 2 diabetes. Messenger RNA profile of skeletal muscle of male offspring from female Sprague Dawley rats fed either a diet rich in saturated fat and sucrose (HFD, 23.5% fat, 20% sucrose wt/wt) or a standard chow diet (NFD, 7% fat, 10% sucrose w/w) for the 3 weeks prior to mating and throughout pregnancy and lactation. There were 5 HFD samples compared to 6 NFD control samples.

Project description:The current study aimed to address the hypothesis that programmed expression of key miRNAs in skeletal muscle mediates the development of insulin resistance, and consequently long-term health. We thus examined microRNA signatures in skeletal muscle of programmed insulin resistant rats offspring from high fat-fed dams vs control offspring from chow fed dams. Skeletal muscle (soleus) was collected from the hind limb of 1 year old male offspring (6 from control dams, 6 from high fat-fed dams) . Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics (UNSW, sydney, Australia)

Project description:16 rats were mated and the dams continued pregnancy (controls) or were subsequently caloric restricted (CR) for 20% during days 1-12. Control female/male offspring continued normal lactation, while offspring of CR-treated dams received either normal lactation (CR group) or received during lactation until PN21 leptin supplementation. Leptin treatment of offspring during lactation after caloric restriction of dams during pregnancy reverts CR-induced dysfunction.

Project description:Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Prior infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a gammaherpesvirus, is deemed a necessary yet insufficient factor in the development of MS. The objective of this study was to determine whether the EBV-like virus, murid gammaherpesvirus 68, is sufficient to induce inflammatory demyelinating disease in a transgenic TCR mouse strain susceptible to CNS autoimmunity. Methods: B10.PL mice that express the myelin basic protein-specific transgenic T cell receptor (TCRMBP) were intranasally inoculated with murid gammaherpesvirus 68 virus (MHV68), PR8 influenza virus, or PBS. Mice were evaluated for the development of neurologic deficits. Flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy were used to validate the infiltration of immune cells in the brain and spinal cord of TCRMBP mice. Single cell RNA sequencing of splenic B cells was performed to determine transcriptional changes that resulted from MHV68 infection. Results: MHV68-infected mice developed neurological deficits at a significantly higher frequency (70.8%) than the influenza (7.7%) or mock-infected mice (13.3%). MHV68 infected mice exhibited signs including optic neuritis and ataxia, which are infrequently observed in EAE mice, but common in MS patients. MHV68-infected mice exhibited increased focal immune cell infiltration. Single cell RNA sequencing identified the emergence of a novel, MHV68 infection-associated population of memory-like B cells that highly express genes associated with antigen presentation and costimulation. Conclusion: Infecting myelin basic protein specific TCR transgenic mice with the EBV analogue, MHV68, generates encephalitogenic disease without myelin immunization. MHV68 drives a distinct transcriptional program in B cells capable of enhanced antigen presentation and costimulation to drive an autoreactive T cell response.

Project description:Lung tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs), including alveolar macrophages (AMs) and interstitial macrophages (IMs), are pivotal in maintaining both immune defense and tissue homeostasis. Although the distinct functional roles of these macrophage populations are well recognized, the specific metabolic pathways that support their functions are not fully understood. Comparative RNA sequencing analysis identified Sdha, a key enzyme in mitochondrial metabolism, as one of the most highly expressed and differentially regulated genes involved in metabolic pathways in AMs relative to IMs. This finding led us to investigate the role of succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit A (SDHA) in regulating AM metabolism and function. Here, we demonstrated that SDHA is crucial for maintaining AM homeostasis. Deletion of SDHA resulted in a significant reduction in AM populations without affecting IMs, highlighting an AM-specific requirement for SDHA. In the absence of SDHA, AMs underwent metabolic reprogramming towards glycolysis compared with IMs, along with significant transcriptional changes and cell death. Furthermore, SDHA-deficient AMs showed lipid accumulation and increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. These findings establish SDHA as a crucial regulator of AM metabolism and underscore the importance of maintaining metabolic integrity for AM function and survival within the lung microenvironment.

Project description:Adult female Wistar rats (about 220g) obtained from a breeding colony were mated and fed either a protein sufficient (PS) or protein restricted (PR) diet (n = 6 per dietary group) during F0 pregnancy which provided an increase in energy of approximately 25% compared to the diet fed to the breeding colony (2018S). During lactation dams were fed AIN93G and litters were standardisied to 8 offspring within 24 hours of birth with a bias towards females. Offpsring were weaned onto AIN93M at postnatal day 28 and F1 and F2 females were mated on postnatal day 70 (n = 6 per F0 dietary group). F1 and F2 dams were fed the PS diet during pregnancy and AIN93G during lactation. Offspring were weaned onto AIN93M. On postnatal day 70 unmated female offspring were fasted for 12 hours then sacrificed for hepatic transcritpome analysis by microarray. Expression of 1,684 genes differed by at least 2 fold between adult female F1 offspring of F0 dams from both dietary groups. 1680 genes were altered in F2 offspring and 2,065 genes altered in F3 offspring. Expression of 113 genes was altered in all three generations. Of these, 47% showed directionally opposite differences between generations. Gene ontology analysis revealed clear differences in the pathways altered in each generation. F1 and F2 offspring of F0 dams fed a PR diet showed impaired fasting glucose homeostasis. Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) expression was elevated in F1 and F2 offspring from F0 PR dams, but decreased in F3, compared to PS offspring
