Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most important stress hormones. They act via the GC receptor GR (encoded by the Nr3c1 gene). Their role is to control metabolic pathways, and to limit inflammation. The latter is often compromised, by unknown mechanisms, in severe inflammatory conditions. We here investigated the in vivo impact of hypoxia on GR function in mice, by genome wide analysis in liver and by means of deep hypoxia. Our data reveal that hypoxia leads to profound reductions in transcriptional output of GR, when stimulated with dexamethasone, leading to absent induction of genes with anti-inflammatory functions such as Tsc22d3 and Dusp1 in liver and other organs. Hypoxia also activates the entire HPA axis, by HIF1α and HIF2α activation in hypothalamus, causing long-term corticosterone production by adrenals. The latter leads to lipolysis in adipose tissue, followed by β-oxidation and ketogenesis in liver, but also to the reprogramming of GR, whereby GR limits its anti-inflammatory functions. These genome-wide RNAseq and ChIPSeq data, accompanied with studies using GR inhibitor, GR mutant mice and adrenalectomized animals suggest that hypoxia leads to increased sensitivity for acute inflammation and lack of protection by dexamethasone, due to the chronic HPA axis stimulation. Our data unfold new physiological pathways, that may have consequences for patients suffering from GC resistance or living at high altitudes.

Project description:Purpose: Controlling the balance between immunity and immunopathology is crucial for host resistance to pathogens. Upon infection, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leads to the production of glucocorticoids (GCs). However, the pleiotropic effects of these steroid hormones make it difficult to decipher their precise role in vivo. Our purpose was to study how GCs regulate the function of group 1 ILCs in spleen and liver upon Murine Cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. Methods: We studied the in vivo effect of endogenous GCs released upon MCMV infection on NK cells in spleen and liver and ILC1s in the liver. We compared WT mice with GRNcr1-iCre mice, in which the gene encoding for GC receptor (GR) is selectively deleted in Ncr1+ cells. Results: We found that the regulation of NK function by the GR is required for host protection against MCMV. Mechanistically, endogenous GCs produced shortly after infection induce the selective and tissue-specific expression of the immune checkpoint PD1 on NK cells. This GC-PD1 pathway mediates its immunoregulatory functions by limiting interferon (IFN)-g production by splenic NK cells, preventing lethal immunopathology. Importantly, this regulation does not compromise viral clearance. Conclusions:The fine-tuning of a selective subset of ILCs by the HPA axis preserves tissue integrity without impairing pathogen elimination, revealing a novel aspect of neuro-immune regulation.

Project description:GRBATKO_BAT_COLDEXPOSURE Aberrant activity of the glucocorticoid (GC)/glucocorticoid receptor (GR) endocrine system has been linked to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. Traditionally, the GC/GR axis has been believed to play a crucial role in adipose tissue formation and function in both, white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). While recent studies have challenged this notion for WAT, the contribution of GC/GR signaling to BAT-dependent energy homeostasis remained unknown. Here, we have generated and characterized a BAT-specific GR knockout mouse (GRBATKO), for the first time allowing to genetically interrogate the metabolic impact of BAT GR. The HPA axis in GRBATKO mice was intact, as was the ability of mice to adapt to cold. BAT GR was dispensable for the adaptation to fasting-feeding cycles and the development of diet-induced obesity. In obesity, glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and food intake remained unchanged, aligning with the absence of changes in thermogenic gene expression. Together, we demonstrate that the GR in UCP1-positive BAT adipocytes plays a negligible role in systemic metabolism and BAT function, thereby opposing a long-standing paradigm in the field.

Project description:In metabolic control, GC signaling acts as a major counter-regulatory system against insulin action, and aberrantly elevated GC activity is tightly linked to major components of the so-called Metabolic Syndrome, including obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and systemic dyslipidemia. Here we identify the hepatic induction of the conserved microRNA (miR)-379/410 genomic cluster as a key component of GC/GR-driven metabolic dysfunction in M-bM-^@M-^\diabesityM-bM-^@M-^] Microarray data were utilized to screened for differentially regulated miRNAs between wt and db/db and between wt and GR Knockdown mice For wt vs. db/db: mice were fasted for 24 hours and refed for 6 hours; For GR-dependent miRNAs: mice were treated with rAAV delivering either control or GR-directed miRNA for the knockdown of the GR specifically in the liver.

Project description:The use of glucocorticoids (GCs), which bind and activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), in systemic inflammatory response syndromes (SIRS) is disputed. Mice with a poor transcriptional response of dimer-dependent GR target genes were studied in a model of TNF-induced SIRS. These GR dim/dim mice display a significant increase in TNF sensitivity and a lack of protection by the GC dexamethasone (DEX). Unchallenged GR dim/dim mice have a strong interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) signature at the transcriptional level and this ISG signature is gut specific. Here, we used shotgun proteomics to study the regulation of ISG proteins in the ileum of GR dim/dim mice. Our data showed that unchallenged GR dim/dim mice have a strong interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) signature, along with STAT1 upregulation. Taken together, we show that GR dim/dim mice poorly control ISG expression resulting in excessive necroptosis induction by TNF. Our findings support a critical interplay between gut microbiota, interferons, necroptosis and GR in both the basal response to acute inflammatory challenges and in the pharmacological intervention by GCs.

Project description:This a model from the article:
Inclusion of the glucocorticoid receptor in a hypothalamic pituitary adrenal
axis model reveals bistability.

2007 Feb 14;4:8 17300722

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The body's primary stress management system is the hypothalamic
pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis responds to physical and mental
challenge to maintain homeostasis in part by controlling the body's cortisol
level. Dysregulation of the HPA axis is implicated in numerous stress-related
diseases. RESULTS: We developed a structured model of the HPA axis that includes
the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This model incorporates nonlinear kinetics of
pituitary GR synthesis. The nonlinear effect arises from the fact that GR
homodimerizes after cortisol activation and induces its own synthesis in the
pituitary. This homodimerization makes possible two stable steady states (low
and high) and one unstable state of cortisol production resulting in bistability
of the HPA axis. In this model, low GR concentration represents the normal
steady state, and high GR concentration represents a dysregulated steady state.
A short stress in the normal steady state produces a small perturbation in the
GR concentration that quickly returns to normal levels. Long, repeated stress
produces persistent and high GR concentration that does not return to baseline
forcing the HPA axis to an alternate steady state. One consequence of increased
steady state GR is reduced steady state cortisol, which has been observed in
some stress related disorders such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
CONCLUSION: Inclusion of pituitary GR expression resulted in a biologically
plausible model of HPA axis bistability and hypocortisolism. High GR
concentration enhanced cortisol negative feedback on the hypothalamus and forced
the HPA axis into an alternative, low cortisol state. This model can be used to
explore mechanisms underlying disorders of the HPA axis.
