Obesity reprograms the pulmonary polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipidome prior to injury in a diet-dependent manner

ABSTRACT: Obesity exacerbates inflammation upon lung injury; however, the mechanisms by which obesity primes pulmonary dysregulation prior to injury are not well studied. Notably, little is known about how obesity dysregulates pulmonary polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism that is central to inflammation initiation and resolution. Herein, we first show that a high fat diet (HFD) administered to C57BL/6J mice increases the relative abundance of pulmonary PUFA-containing triglycerides and the concentration of PUFA-derived oxylipins, independent of an increase in total pulmonary PUFAs, prior to onset of pulmonary inflammation. Experiments with a genetic model of obesity did not recapitulate the effects of the HFD on the pulmonary oxylipin signature, revealing a diet-driven effect. Subsequent pulmonary next-generation RNA sequencing identified complex and unique transcriptional regulation with the HFD. The HFD increased pathways related to glycerophospholipid metabolism and immunity, including an elevation in B cell differentiation and signaling. Finally, computational integration of lipidomic with transcriptomic data revealed novel HFD-driven networks between glycerophospholipid metabolism and B cell receptor signaling with specific PUFA-derived oxylipins. Collectively, these data show obesity dysregulates pulmonary PUFA metabolism prior to lung injury, which may be a mechanism by which obesity primes the lungs to respond poorly upon infectious and/or inflammatory challenges.

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.
