Corticosterone induces obesity via promoting intestinal cell proliferation and survival

ABSTRACT: A vicious cycle ensues whereby prolonged exposure to social stress causes increased production of glucocorticoids, leading to obesity even further. Understanding the role of glucocorticoids, the key element in the vicious circle, might be helpful to break the vicious circle. However, the mechanism by which glucocorticoids induce obesity remains elusive. Herein we find that administration of corticosterone (CORT) to mice promotes the proliferation and survival of intestinal cells, which might contribute to the longer small intestines and the elongated intestinal villi, thus leading to increased nutrient absorption and obesity in mice. RNA-seq was performed to analyze transcriptional alterations in small intestines and livers after CORT-treatment, indicating differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in several cell growth/death-associated signaling pathways. This study would provide novel therapeutic clues for stress or glucocorticoids-related obesity.

Transcriptomic response of the arcuate nucleus to oral corticosterone treatment

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed to treat inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. However, patients often develop adverse metabolic effects, including hyperphagia, obesity, and hyperglycemia.The arcuate nucleus has an established role in the central control of energy balance. In this study we examined the transcriptomic response of the arcuate nucleus to oral corticosterone treatment. Gene expression changes were measured after 2 days and 4 weeks of Cort treatment in ad libitum fed C57BL6/J mice.

Fibrostenotic phenotype of fibroblasts in Crohn's disease is dependent on tissue stiffness and reversed by LOX inhibition

Project description:The results of this study indicate that stenotic fibroblasts exhibit an aberrant response to tissue stiffness with reduced MMP activity, leading to a perpetuous vicious circle of ever more fibrosis formation. Altering the microenvironment by LOX inhibition increases MMP activity and decreases ECM contraction, resulting in a potential anti-fibrotic agent for Crohn’s disease.

Gut microbiota-derived ceramides contribute to corticosterone-induced depression via affecting oxidative phosphorylation pathway

Project description:Background: As a worldwide threat to mental health, depression affects about 322 million people globally. Recently, the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis on the pathogenesis of depression has received widespread attention, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive.Results: Corticosterone (CORT)-treated mice showed depressive-like behaviors, a reduction in hippocampal neurogenesis, and an altered composition of gut microbiota (GM). Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) from CORT-treated mice transferred depressive-like phenotypes and their dominant GM, especially bifidobacterium and lactobacillus, to the recipients. Fecal metabolic profiling showed that the relative abundances of fecal ceramides were significantly increased in CORT-treated and the recipient mice. Metagenomic sequencing exposed that bifidobacterium and lactobacillus might be responsible for gut ceramides production in CORT-treated mice. We then found that treatment with ceramides via oral gavage was sufficient to recapitulate the depressive-like phenotypes in wild -type mice. Finally, RNA-sequencing data exposed that most of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ceramides-treated mice and the control group were enriched in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. Conclusion: We conclude that chronic exposure to CORT leads to an altered GM composition and consequent ceramides production, thus leading to subtle mitochondrial OXPHOS dysfunction in hippocampus, which may contribute to the development of depressive disorders.

The effects of corticosterone and background colour on tadpole physiological plasticity

Project description:Corticosterone (CORT)-mediated adaptive plasticity improves animal fitness in stressful environments. Although it brings ecological benefits, the cost potentially constrains its expression and evolution. Revealing the factors affecting plasticity costs is of great ecological and evolutionary significance. Evidence indicates that both CORT and background colour can induce metabolic changes in animals, which in turn determine phenotypic plasticity. However, whether and/or how CORT and background colour jointly act on plastic responses has not been studied. Here, this question has been investigated in amphibian tadpoles (Microhyla fissipes) exposed to CORT at different background colours (white or black) using integrated morphological, histological, and transcriptomic analyses. The results showed that CORT exposure increased relative tail length, immune function, and metabolic maintenance (i.e., transcription of substrate catabolism and oxidative phosphorylation) at the expense of reduction in growth rate and skin melanin level. The black background also increased relative tail length and metabolic maintenance (i.e., transcription of oxidative phosphorylation) at the cost of reduction in growth rate, but increased skin melanin level. The expression of critical pigmentation genes indicated that black background activated a distinct and opposite pigmentation regulating route to CORT. Although there was no interactive effect of background colour and CORT on phenotypic and metabolic variations, their additive effects further impact the trade-off between somatic growth, metabolic maintenance, and pigmentation in terms of resource allocation. In conclusion, the individual and additive effects of background colour and CORT exposure on tadpole plasticity were revealed. These results likely provide new insights into the environmental adaptation of animals.

Sex-specific programming effects of parental obesity in pre-implantation embryonic development [RNASeq Data of Sperm]

Project description:Obesity is a global rising problem with epidemiological dimension. Obese parents can have programming effects on their offspring leading to obesity and associated diseases in later life. This constitutes a vicious circle. Epidemiological data and studies in rodents demonstrated differential programming effects in male and female offspring, but the timing of their developmental origin is not known. This study investigated if sex-specific programming effects of parental obesity can already be detected in the pre-implantation period. Diet induced obese male or female mice were mated with normal-weight partners and blastocysts were recovered. Gene expression profiling revealed sex-specific responses of the blastocyst transcriptome to maternal and paternal obesity. The changes in the transcriptome of male blastocysts were more pronounced than those of female blastocysts, with a stronger impact of paternal than of maternal obesity. The sperm of obese mice revealed an increased abundance of several miRNAs compared to lean mice. Our study indicates that sex-specific programming effects of parental obesity already start in the pre‑implantation period and reveals specific alterations of the sperm miRNA profile as mechanistic link to programming effects of paternal obesity.

Transcription profiling of rat neuronal progenitor cells after corticosterone treatment

Project description:Exposure to excessive glucocorticoids, which are major mediators of the stress reaction, is detrimental to brain development related to an increased risk of psychiatric disorders. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of excessive glucocorticoids on the developing brain remains largely unclear. To clarify the mechanism, we examined the effects of glucocorticoids on cultured neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) from cerebral cortices from rat embryo. We performed comparative analysis using gene expression profiling of corticosterone- or vehicle-treated NPCs. Results provide insight into the effects of glucocorticoids in regulating genetic programs important for controlling NPCsâ properties. Experiment Overall Design: Three couples of RNA samples from corticosterone- or vehicle-treated neuronal progenitor cells were analyzed.
