β-hydroxybutyrate Induces upregulation of Glutamate Uptake and Transporter Expression in Astrocytes

ABSTRACT: The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has been reported to exert neuroprotective function and to be the promising treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in central nervous system which have been proved to play a pivotal role in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. BHB is known to alter neuronal metabolism and function, but its effects on astrocytes are poorly understood. Here we carried out the transcriptome sequencing analysis to examine differential expression genes induced by BHB in astrocytes and identified that slc1a3 which encoding the glutamate transporter EAAT1 was significantly upregulated in BHB treatment. Our findings suggested a novel mechanism for the neuroprotective effects of BHB and reinforced the beneficial effect of BHB on central nervous system (CNS).

Transcriptional profiling of astrocyte subtypes in naive mice and during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Project description:We isolated and gene expression profiled distinct astrocyte subtypes from three central nervous system regions: forebrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord, using a FACS-based protocol. Cell surface expression of Glast/Slc1a3 (G) and Acsa-2/Atp1b2 (A) was used to distinguish subpopulations of astrocytes. Furthermore, we assessed the transcriptome of cultured primary neonatal astrocytes. The local brain environment proved key in establishing different transcriptional programs in astrocyte subtypes. Functional differences between subtypes were also apparent in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitics (EAE) mice, where these astrocyte subtypes showed distinct responses. While gene expression signatures associated with blood-brain-barrier maintenance were lost during EAE, signatures contributing to neuroinflammation were increased specifically in astrocytes in the spinal cord.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate restores OXPHOS to reduce ischemia-induced AKI

Project description:Bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) induces acute kidney injury (AKI) and impairs mitochondrial energy metabolism in renal tubules. While ketogenic diets rich in beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) are known to confer tissue protection, we investigated the specific effect of BHB sodium pretreatment in this model. Mice subjected to bilateral IRI with or without BHB sodium pretreatment were assessed 24 hours post-reperfusion. Our results demonstrate that BHB administration restored oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and attenuated injury in post-ischemic AKI. These findings indicate that BHB enhances OXPHOS capacity within the electron transport chain, thereby regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism and ameliorating ischemia-induced AKI.

In vivo analysis of gene expression changes in mouse astrocytes after traumatic spinal cord injury

Project description:Central nervous system (CNS) lesions become surrounded by neuroprotective borders of newly proliferated reactive astrocytes. Fundamental features of these cells are poorly understood. Here, using temporal transcriptome analysis of Aldh1l1-expressing local astrocytes we showed that after CNS injury, local mature astrocytes dedifferentiated, proliferated, and become transcriptionally reprogrammed to permanently altered new functional states, with persisting downregulation of molecules associated with astrocyte-neuron interactions, and upregulation of molecules associated with wound healing, microbial defence, and interactions with stromal and immune cells. Our findings show that at CNS injury sites, local mature astrocytes proliferate and adopt canonical features of essential wound repair cells that persist in adaptive states and are the predominant source of neuroprotective borders that re-establish CNS integrity by separating neural parenchyma from stromal and immune cells as occurs throughout the healthy CNS.

Downregulation of HDAC9 by β-hydroxybutyrate suppresses vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease

Project description:In this study, we report the protective effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD). To further investigate the mechanism underpinning the protective effect of BHB on vascular calcification, we performed high-throughput RNA-seq to identify the target gene of BHB. Our data demonstrate that BHB supplementation inhibits vascular calcification in CKD via targeting HDAC9.

A Molecular Switch for Neuroprotective Astrocyte Reactivity

Project description:The intrinsic mechanisms that regulate neurotoxic versus neuroprotective astrocyte phenotypes and their effects on central nervous system (CNS) degeneration and repair remain poorly understood. Here, we show injured white matter astrocytes differentiate into two distinct C3-positive and C3-negative reactive populations, previously simplified as neurotoxic (A1) and neuroprotective (A2)1,2, which can be further subdivided into unique subpopulations defined by proliferation and differential gene expression signatures. We find the balance of neurotoxic versus neuroprotective astrocytes is regulated by discrete pools of compartmented cAMP derived from soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) and show proliferating neuroprotective astrocytes inhibit microglial activation and downstream neurotoxic astrocyte differentiation to promote retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival. Finally, we report a new, therapeutically tractable viral vector to specifically target optic nerve head astrocytes and show elevating nuclear or depleting cytoplasmic cAMP in reactive astrocytes inhibits deleterious immune cell infiltration and promotes RGC survival after optic nerve injury. Thus, soluble adenylyl cyclase and compartmented, nuclear- and cytoplasmic-localized cAMP in reactive astrocytes act as a molecular switch for neuroprotective astrocyte reactivity that can be targeted to inhibit microglial activation and neurotoxic astrocyte differentiation to therapeutic effect. These data expand upon and define new reactive astrocyte subtypes and represents a novel step towards the development of gliotherapeutics for the treatment of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.

Notch Signaling Reprograms Glial Lipid Metabolism to Promote Hypoxia Resistance

Project description:To understand the transcriptional basis of Notch activation-conferred hypoxia tolerance, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of the developing Drosophila central nervous system and generated a comprehensive cellular atlas at single-cell resolution. Analysis of Eaat1-expressing cells revealed that Notch activation reshaped hypoxia-induced transcriptional responses and counteracted metabolic suppression caused by low oxygen. Together, our findings identify Eaat1 glia as a metabolically adaptive glial population and reveal a conserved Notch-regulated mechanism that rewires lipid metabolism to support hypoxia tolerance in the developing brain.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate alters bovine preimplantation embryo development through transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms.

Project description:Developing embryos are susceptible to fluctuations in the nutrients and metabolites concentrations within the reproductive tract, which can lead to alterations in their developmental trajectory. Ketotic dairy cows have diminished fertility, and elevated levels of the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) have been associated with poor embryonic development. We used an in vitro model based on either in vitro fertilization (IVF) or parthenogenesis to investigate the effects of BHB on the preimplantation bovine embryo development, epigenome, and transcriptome. Embryo culture medium was supplemented with BHB at a similar concentration to that present in the blood of cows suffering with severe ketosis, followed by analysis of blastocysts formation rate, diameter, total number of cells, levels of H3K9 beta-hydroxybutyrylation (H3K9bhb), apoptosis, and transcriptional alterations. As a result, we observed that BHB reduced the blastocysts rates, the diameter and the total number of cells in both parthenotes and IVF embryos. Exposure to BHB for either 3 or 7 days greatly increased the H3K9bhb levels in parthenotes at the 8-cells and blastocyst stages, and affected the expression ofHDAC1,TET1,DNMT1,KDM6B,NANOGandMTHFD2genes. Additionally, culture of IVF embryos with BHB for 7 days dramatically increased H3K9bhb and reduced NANOG in blastocysts. RNA-seq analysis of IVF blastocysts revealed that BHB modulated the expression of 118 genes, which were involved with biological processes such as embryonic development, implantation, reproduction, proliferation, and metabolism. These findings provided valuable insights into the mechanisms through which BHB disrupts preimplantation embryonic development and affects the fertility in dairy cows.

β-hydroxybutyrate restores T cell metabolism and function in severe COVID-19

Project description:Anorexia and fasting are host adaptations to acute infection, inducing a metabolic switch towards ketogenesis and the production of ketone bodies, including β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). However, whether ketogenesis metabolically influences the immune response in pulmonary infections remains unclear. Here we report impaired production of BHB in humans with SARS-CoV-2-induced but not influenza-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). BHB promotes the survival and the production of Interferon-g from CD4+ T cells. Using metabolic tracing analysis, we uncovered that BHB provides an alternative carbon source to fuel oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and the production of bioenergetic amino acids and glutathione, which is important for maintaining the redox balance. T cells from patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS were exhausted and skewed towards glycolysis, but can be metabolically reprogrammed by BHB to perform OXPHOS, thereby increasing their functionality. Finally, we find that ketogenic diet (KD) reduced pulmonary fibrosis, a feature particular pronounced in COVID-19 ARDS and delivery of BHB as ketone ester drink reduces the mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infected mice. Altogether, our data suggest that impaired ketogenesis in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection accounts, at least partially for disease progression and that supplementation ketone ester might represent an easy-to-implement treatment to improve the clinical outcome of COVID-19 patients.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate enhances mitochondrial energy metabolism through histone beta-hydroxybutyrylation

Project description:Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) regulates gene expression through modulation of post-translational histone modifications, including histone beta-hydroxybutyrylation. In human renal tubular epithelial cells challenged with hydrogen peroxide, pretreatment with sodium beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBNa) significantly upregulated global histone beta-hydroxybutyrylation marks, specifically enhancing beta-hydroxybutyrylation at histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4bhb) compared to hydrogen peroxide treatment alone. To investigate whether BHB enhances mitochondrial energy metabolism via this epigenetic mechanism, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) specifically targeting H3K4bhb.
