Project description:The PPAR? activator fenofibrate efficiently decreases plasma triglycerides (TG), which is generally attributed to enhanced VLDL-TG clearance and decreased VLDL-TG production. However, since data on the effect of fenofibrate on VLDL production are controversial, we aimed to investigate in (more) detail the mechanism underlying the TG-lowering effect by studying VLDL-TG production and clearance using APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice, a unique mouse model for human-like lipoprotein metabolism. Male mice were fed a Western-type diet for 4 weeks, followed by the same diet without or with fenofibrate (30 mg/kg bodyweight/day) for 4 weeks. Fenofibrate strongly lowered plasma cholesterol (-38%; P<0.001) and TG (-60%; P<0.001) caused by reduction of VLDL. Fenofibrate markedly accelerated VLDL-TG clearance, as judged from a reduced plasma half-life of intravenously injected glycerol tri[3H]oleate-labeled VLDL-like emulsion particles (-68%; P<0.01). This was associated with an increased post-heparin LPL activity (+110%; P<0.0001) and an increased uptake of VLDL-derived fatty acids by skeletal muscle, white adipose tissue and liver. Concomitantly, fenofibrate markedly increased the VLDL-TG production rate (+73%; P<0.0001) but not the VLDL-apoB production rate. Kinetic studies using [3H]palmitic acid showed that fenofibrate increased VLDL-TG production by equally increasing incorporation of re-esterified plasma FA and liver TG into VLDL, which was supported by hepatic gene expression profiling data. We conclude that fenofibrate decreases plasma TG by enhancing LPL-mediated VLDL-TG clearance, which results in a compensatory increase in VLDL-TG production by the liver. Male mice were fed a Western-type diet for 4 weeks, followed by the same diet without or with fenofibrate (30 mg/kg bodyweight/day) for 4 weeks. After 4 hours fasting, livers were isolated and individual gene arrays were performed.

Project description:Hypertriglyceridemia results from accumulation of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) in the circulation and is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. ApoC-III is an apolipoprotein on TRLs and a prominent negative regulator of TG catabolism. We recently established that in vivo apoC-III predominantly inhibits LDLR and LRP1 mediated hepatic TRL clearance and that apoC-III enriched TRLs are preferentially cleared by syndecan-1 (SDC1). In this study, we determined the impact of apoE, a common ligand for all three receptors, on apoC-III metabolism using apoC-III antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment in mice lacking apoE and functional SDC1 (Apoe(-/-) Ndst1(f/f) Alb-Cre+). ApoC-III ASO treatment significantly reduced plasma TG levels in Apoe(-/-) Ndst1(f/f) Alb-Cre+ mice without reducing hepatic VLDL production or improving hepatic TRL clearance. Further analysis revealed that apoC-III ASO treatment lowered plasma TGs in Apoe(-/-) Ndst1(f/f) Alb-Cre+ mice, which was associated with increased LPL activity in white adipose tissue (WAT) in the fed state. Finally, clinical data confirm that ASO-mediated lowering of apoC-III via volanesorsen can reduce plasma TG levels independent of the apoE isoform genotype. Our data indicate that apoE determines the metabolic impact of apoC-III as we establish that apoE is essential to mediate inhibition of TRL clearance by apoC-III and that in the absence of functional apoE apoC-III inhibits tissue LPL activity.

Project description:Background and Aims: Inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activity regulates the maturation and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1M-CM-^_ and IL-18. Recently, we showed that caspase-1 deficiency strongly reduces high fat diet-induced adiposity although the mechanism is still unclear. We now aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which caspase-1 deficiency reduces modulates resistance to high fat diet-feeding fat accumulation in adipose tissue by focusing on the role of caspase-1 in the regulation of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein metabolism. Methods: Caspase-1 deficient and wild-type mice (both C57Bl/6 background) were used to determine postprandial TG kinetics, intestinal TG absorption, VLDL-TG production as well as TG clearance, all of which strongly contribute to the supply of TG for storage in adipose tissue. Micro-array and qPCR analysis were used to unravel intestinal and hepatic metabolic pathways involved. Results: Caspase-1 deficiency reduced the postprandial response to an oral lipid load, while tissue specific clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins was not changed. Indeed, an oral olive oil gavage containing [3H]TG revealed that caspase-1 deficiency significantly decreased intestinal chylomicron-TG production and reduced the uptake of [3H]TG-derived FA by liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. Similarly, caspase-1 deficiency reduced the hepatic VLDL-TG production without reducing VLDL-apoB production, despite an elevated hepatic TG content. Pathway analysis revealed that caspase-1 deficiency reduces intestinal and hepatic expression of genes involved in lipogenesis. Conclusions: Absence of caspase-1 reduces assembly and secretion of TG-rich lipoproteins, thereby reducing the availability of TG-derived FA for uptake by peripheral organs including adipose tissue. We anticipate that caspase-1 represents a novel link between innate immunity and lipid metabolism. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Wild-type (WT) and Casp1-null mice were maintained at lab chow. Animals, aged between 14 and 16 weeks (n=3 per genotype), were killed and liver and intestinal segments were removed. Livers were isolated from mice that were fasted over night, whereas intesines were removed from mice 2 hrs after they received an oral lipid load.Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression profiling.

Project description:Recombinant human leptin (metreleptin) reduces hepatic lipid content in patients with lipodystrophy and overweight patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and relative hypoleptinemia independent of its anorexic action. In rodents, leptin signaling in the brain increases very-low-density lipoprotein triglyceride (VLDL-TG) secretion and reduces hepatic lipid content via the vagus nerve. In this randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial (EudraCT Nr. 2017-003014-22), we tested whether a comparable mechanism regulates hepatic lipid metabolism in humans. A single metreleptin injection stimulated hepatic VLDL-TG secretion (primary outcome) and reduced hepatic lipid content in fasted, lean men (n = 13, age range 20-38 years) but failed to do so in metabolically healthy liver transplant recipients (n = 9, age range 26-62 years) who represent a model for hepatic denervation. In an independent cohort of lean men (n = 10, age range 23-31 years), vagal stimulation by modified sham feeding replicated the effects of metreleptin on VLDL-TG secretion. Therefore, we propose that leptin has anti-steatotic properties that are independent of food intake by stimulating hepatic VLDL-TG export via a brain-vagus-liver axis.

Project description:Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor (VLDLR), a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor family, is responsible for VLDL uptake in peripheral tissues. We reported that significant increase in hepatic VLDLR levels following protein restriction in male mice does not contribute to hepatic fat accumulation, indicating that VLDLR may have hitherto unknown functions. Here, we used RNA-sequencing analysis of liver samples to analysis the effects of protein restriction on hepatic VLDLR in male and female mice.

Project description:The effect of perfluoroalkyl sulfonates on lipoprotein metabolism was investigated in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice with a humanized lipoprotein profile. Perfluorohexane sulfonate and perfluorooctane sulfonate markedly reduced both plasma TG and TC by decreasing nonHDL-C and HDL-C accompanied by a reduction in apoAI. Mechanistic studies showed that these effects were mainly caused by impaired lipoprotein production. Male E3L.CETP mice on a C57Bl/6 background were fed a Western-type diet, containing 0.25% (w/w) cholesterol, 1% (w/w) corn oil and 14% (w/w) bovine fat (Western-type diet) (Hope Farms, Woerden, The Netherlands) for 4 to 6 weeks in three independent experiments. Upon randomization according to total plasma cholesterol (TC) and TG levels, mice received the Western-type diet without or with PFBS (30 mg/kg/day), PFHxS (6 mg/kg/day) or PFOS (3 mg/kg/day) during 4-6 weeks. The effects of these PFAS on plasma lipids and lipoproteins were determined. In addition, PFAS levels were determined in plasma and livers were isolated for hepatic lipid analysis and hepatic gene expression analysis using an Affymetrix technology platform and Affymetrix GeneChip® mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cocoa butter and safflower oil on hepatic transcript profiles, lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in healthy rats. Cocoa butter-based high-fat feeding for three days did not affect plasma total triglyceride (TG) levels or TG-rich VLDL particles or hepatic insulin sensitivity, but changes in hepatic gene expression were induced that might lead to increased lipid synthesis, lipotoxicity, inflammation and insulin resistance if maintained. Safflower oil increased hepatic β-oxidation, was beneficial in terms of circulating TG-rich VLDL particles, but led to reduced hepatic insulin sensitivity. The effects of safflower oil on hepatic gene expression were partly overlapping with those exerted by cocoa butter, but fewer transcripts from anabolic pathways were altered. Increased hepatic cholesterol levels and increased expression of hepatic CYP7A1 and ABCG5 mRNA, important gene products in bile acid production and cholesterol excretion, were specific effects elicited by safflower oil only. Common effects on gene expression included increased levels of p8, DIG-1 IGFBP-1 and FGF21, and reduced levels of SCD-1 and SCD-2. This indicates that a lipid-induced program for hepatic lipid disposal and cell survival was induced by three days of high-fat feeding, independent on the lipid source. Based on the results, we speculate that hepatic TG infiltration leads to reduced expression of SCD-1, which might mediate either neutral, beneficial or unfavourable effects on hepatic metabolism upon high-fat feeding, depending on which fatty acids were provided by the diet. Keywords: Hepatic gene expression Two-condition experiment. Biological replicates: 4 male rat livers from rats on a standard diet, 4 male rat livers from rats on a cocoa butter diet, 4 male rat livers from rats on a high-fat (safflower oil) diet. One replicate per array.
