A20 deficiency in myeloid cells protects mice from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance due to increased fatty acid metabolism

ABSTRACT: Obesity-induced inflammation is a major driving force in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related metabolic disorders. During obesity, macrophages accumulate in the visceral adipose tissue, creating a low grade inflammatory environment through the production of inflammatory cytokines. NF-κB signaling is a central coordinator of these inflammatory responses and is tightly regulated by the anti-inflammatory protein A20. To understand the role of inflammatory macrophages in insulin resistance and T2D development, we fed myeloid-specific A20 deficient mice (A20myel-KO mice) with a high fat diet, and demonstrate that these mice are completely protected from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance, despite an inflammatory environment in their metabolic tissues. Macrophages lacking A20 show impaired mitochondrial respiratory function and metabolize more palmitate both in vitro and in vivo. Given the increased macrophage numbers in A20myel-KO mice, we hypothesize that A20 deficient macrophages rely more on palmitate oxidation and metabolize the fat present in the diet, resulting in a lean phenotype and protection from metabolic disease. These findings reveal an unexpected role for A20 in regulating macrophage immunometabolism.

IL-37 protects against obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance

Project description:Cytokines of the IL-1 family are important modulators of obesity-induced inflammation and the development of systemic insulin resistance. Here, we report that IL-37, a newly-described antiinflammatory member of the IL-1 family, affects obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. IL-37 transgenic mice (IL-37tg) did not develop an obese phenotype in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). Unlike WT mice, IL-37tg mice exhibited reduced numbers of adipose tissue macrophages and preserved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity after 16 weeks of HFD. A short-term HFD intervention revealed that the IL-37-mediated improvement in glucose tolerance is independent of bodyweight. IL-37tg mice manifested a beneficial metabolic profile with higher circulating levels of the anti-inflammatory adipokine adiponectin. In vitro treatment of differentiating adipocytes with recombinant IL-37 reduced adipogenesis. The beneficial effects of recombinant IL-37 involved activation of AMPK signaling. In humans, steady-state IL-37 adipose tissue mRNA levels were positively correlated with insulin sensitivity, lower adipose tissue levels of leptin and a lower inflammatory status of the adipose tissue. These findings reveal IL-37 as an important anti-inflammatory modulator during obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance in both mice and humans and suggest that IL-37 is a potential target for the treatment of obesity-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Gene arrays were performed on epidydimal white adipose tissue samples from wild type and human IL37-overexpressing transgenic mice fed a high fat diet for 16 weeks.

Palmitate-induced gene expression in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF)

Project description:DNA microarray analysis was performed to investigate the expression of genes in HGF stimulated with palmitate Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by decreased insulin sensitivity and higher concentrations of free fatty acids (FFAs) in plasma. Among FFAs, saturated fatty acids (SFAs), such as palmitate, have been proposed to promote inflammatory responses. Although many epidemiological studies have shown a link between periodontitis and T2D, little is known about the clinical significance of SFAs in periodontitis. The goal of this study is to demonstrate a potential link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis and SFAs in plasma. HGF were treated with either with 0 (1% Bovine serum albumin) or 100 ÂµM Palmitate for 36 hours (n=2 each).

Skeletal muscle enhancer interactions identify genes controlling whole body metabolism in humans [cHiC-seq]

Project description:Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are metabolic disorders influenced by lifestyle and genetic factors, and characterized by insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, a prominent site of glucose disposal. Numerous genetic variants have been associated with obesity and T2D, of which the majority is located in non-coding DNA regions. This suggest that most variants mediate their effect by altering the activity of gene-regulatory elements, including enhancers. Here, we map skeletal muscle genomic enhancer elements that are dynamically regulated after exposure to the free fatty acid palmitate or the inflammatory cytokine TNFα. By overlapping enhancer positions with the location of disease-associated genetic variants, and resolving long-range chromatin interactions between enhancers and gene promoters, we identify target genes involved in metabolic dysfunction in skeletal muscle. The majority of these genes also associate with altered whole-body metabolic phenotypes in the murine BXD genetic reference population. Thus, our combined genomic investigations identified genes that are involved in skeletal muscle metabolism and linked to SNPs associated with the development of obesity and T2D.

Two secreted phospholipase A2 enzymes, PLA2G5 and PLA2G2E, are induced in hypertrophic adipocytes and distinctly regulate obesity

Project description:Metabolic disorders including obesity and insulin resistance have their basis in dysregulated lipid metabolism and low-grade inflammation. In a microarray search of unique lipase-related genes whose expressions are associated with obesity, we found that two secreted phospholipase A2s (sPLA2s), PLA2G5 and PLA2G2E, were robustly induced in adipocytes of obese mice. Analyses of Pla2g5-/- and Pla2g2e-/- mice revealed distinct and previously unrecognized roles of these sPLA2s in diet-induced obesity. PLA2G5 hydrolyzed phosphatidylcholine in fat-overladen low-density lipoprotein to release unsaturated fatty acids, which prevented palmitate-induced M1 macrophage polarization. As such, PLA2G5 tipped the immune balance toward an M2 state, thereby counteracting adipose tissue inflammation, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and obesiy. PLA2G2E altered minor lipoprotein phospholipids, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and moderately facilitated lipid accumulation in adipose tissue and liver. Collectively, the identification of metabolic sPLA2s adds this gene family to a growing list of lipolytic enzymes that act as metabolic coordinators. white adipose tissues of C57BL/6 mice; two-condition experimentM-bM-^@M-^Shigh fat diet or low fat diet feeding for 18 weeks; 2 replicates, respectively

Genome-wide analysis of brown adipose tissue gene expression of IL15-depleted mice under normal diet or diet enriched with the beta3-adrenergic agonist CL 316243

Project description:Chronic inflammation is one of the major players in the obesity related metabolic syndrome. However the various inflammatory mediators appear to promote insulin resistance directly or indirectly through their ability to induce the inflammatory cascade. Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is involved in the pathogenesis of different autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1 diabetes. We postulated that as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-15 promotes obesity during fat excess by promoting insulin resistance from tissues involved in energy metabolism. We used microarrays to characterize the gene expression profile of the brown adipose tissue of IL-15 mice under normal diet or diet enriched with the beta3-adrenergic agonist CL 316243 Total RNA obtained from adipose tissue of wt- or IL15-KO mice under normal diet or diet enriched with the beta3-adrenergic agonist CL 316243

Brd4 modulates diet-induced obesity via PPARγ-dependent Gdf3 expression in adipose tissue macrophages

Project description:Macrophage-mediated inflammatory response has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance. Brd4 has emerged as a key regulator in the innate immune response. However, the role of Brd4 in obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance remains uncharacterized. Here, we demonstrated that myeloid-lineage specific Brd4 knockout (Brd4-CKO) mice were protected from high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity with less fat accumulation, higher energy expenditure, and increased lipolysis in adipose tissue. Brd4-CKO mice also displayed reduced local and systemic inflammation with improved insulin sensitivity upon HFD. RNA-sequencing of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) from HFD-fed wide-type and Brd4-CKO mice revealed that expression of antilipolytic factor Gdf3 was significantly decreased in ATMs of Brd4-CKO mice. We also found that Brd4 bound to the promoter and enhancers of Gdf3 to facilitate PPARγ-dependent Gdf3 expression in macrophages. Furthermore, Brd4-mediated expression of Gdf3 acted as a paracrine signal targeting adipocytes to suppress the expression of lipases and the associated lipolysis in cultured cells and mice. Controlling the expression of Gdf3 in ATMs could be one of the mechanisms by which Brd4 modulates lipid metabolism and diet-induced obesity. This study suggests that Brd4 could be a potential therapeutic target for obesity and insulin resistance.

Global Analyses of Selective Insulin Resitance in Hepatocytes due to Palmitate Lipotoxicity

Project description:Obesity is tightly linked to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. One feature of this association is the paradox of selective insulin resistance: insulin fails to suppress hepatic gluconeogenesis but activates lipid synthesis in the liver. How lipid accumulation interferes selectively with some branches of hepatic insulin signaling is not well understood. Here we provide a resource, based on unbiased approaches and established in a simple cell culture system, to enable investigations of the phenomenon of selective insulin resistance. We analyzed the phosphoproteome of insulin-treated human hepatoma cells and identified sites in which palmitate selectively impairs insulin signaling. As an example, we show that palmitate interferes with insulin signaling to FoxO1, a key transcription factor regulating gluconeogenesis, and identify a possible mechanism. This model system, together with our comprehensive characterization of the proteome, phosphoproteome, and lipidome changes in response to palmitate treatment, provides a novel and useful resource for unraveling the mechanisms underlying selective insulin resistance.
