Dynamic metabolism of endothelial triglycerides protects against atherosclerosis

ABSTRACT: Blood vessels are continually exposed to circulating lipids and elevations of ApoB containing lipoproteins cause atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein metabolism is highly regulated by lipolysis, largely at the level of the capillary endothelium lining metabolically active tissues. How large blood vessels, the site of atherosclerotic vascular disease, regulate the flux of fatty acids (FA) into triglyceride (TG) rich lipid droplets (LD) is not known. Here, we show that deletion of the enzyme, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in the endothelium, leads to neutral lipid accumulation in vessels and impairs endothelial dependent vascular tone and nitric oxide synthesis to promote endothelial dysfunction. Mechanistically, the loss of ATGL leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced inflammation, thereby promoting EC dysfunction. Consistent with this mechanism, deletion of endothelial ATGL markedly increases lesion size in a model of atherosclerosis. Together, these data demonstrate that the dynamics of FA flux through LD impacts EC homeostasis and consequently large vessel function during normal physiology and in a chronic disease state

Perilipin 5-mediated lipid droplet-mitochondria coupling determines mitochondrial capacity

Project description:Disturbances in lipid homeostasis can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and lipotoxicity requiring tight regulation of intracellular lipid metabolism and fatty acid (FA) flux. Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) decorates intracellular lipid droplets (LD) in oxidative tissues and controls triacylglycerol (TG) turnover via its interactions with Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and the ATGL co-activator Comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58). Furthermore, PLIN5 anchors mitochondria to the LD membrane via its carboxyl-terminal domain. However, the role of this LD-mitochondria coupling (LDMC) in cellular FA flux and energy catabolism is less established. In this study, we investigated the impact of abolished LDMC on cellular FA flux, mitochondrial respiration and protein interaction. To do so, we established novel PLIN5 truncation variants lacking LDMC while maintaining normal interactions with lipolytic key players. Radiotracer studies with transgenic cell lines stably overexpressing either wild type or truncated PLIN5 revealed that LDMC has no significant impact on FA esterification upon lipid loading or TG catabolism during stimulated lipolysis. Moreover, we found that LDMC is not essential for FA shuttling into mitochondria, which was in line with only minor effects of disrupted LDMC on FA oxidation. In contrast, LDMC significantly improved the mitochondrial respiratory capacity and metabolic flexibility of lipid-challenged cardiomyocytes, which was corroborated by LDMC-dependent interactions of PLIN5 with mitochondrial proteins involved in mitochondrial respiration, dynamics and cristae organization. Taken together, this study suggests that PLIN5 preserves mitochondrial function by adjusting FA supply via the regulation of TG hydrolysis and that LDMC is a vital part of mitochondrial integrity.

Endothelial Cell CD36 Regulates Membrane Ceramide Formation, Exosome Fatty Acid Delivery to Tissues and Circulating Fatty Acid Levels

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) CD36 controls tissue fatty acid (FA) uptake. Here we examined how ECs transfer FAs. FA interaction with apical membrane CD36 induced Src phosphorylation of caveolin-1 tyrosine-14 (Cav-1Y14) and ceramide generation in caveolae. Fission of the caveolae yielded vesicles containing FAs, CD36 and ceramide that were secreted basolaterally as small (80-100nm) exosome-like extracellular vesicles (sEVs). We visualized EC transfer of FAs in sEVs to underlying myotubes in transwells. In mice with EC-expression of the exosome marker emeraldGFP-CD63, muscle fibers accumulated circulating FAs in emGFP-labeled puncta. The FA-sEV pathway was mapped through its suppression by CD36 depletion, blocking actin-remodeling, Src inhibition, Cav-1Y14 mutation, and neutral sphingomyelinase 2 inhibition. Suppression of sEV formation in mice reduced muscle FA uptake, raised circulating FAs, which remained in blood vessels, and lowered glucose, mimicking prominent Cd36-/- phenotypes. The findings show that FA uptake influences membrane ceramide, endocytosis, and EC communication with parenchymal cells.

Progerin Expression in Endothelial Cells Induces Endothelial Dysfunction

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, genetic premature aging disorder associated with severe atherosclerosis, often resulting in fatal heart attacks and strokes. Progerin, the mutant protein in HGPS, also is expressed in healthy individuals and may play a role in the development of atherosclerosis during physiologic aging. Here, we provide evidence for a primary involvement of vascular endothelium in the pathogenesis of accelerated atherosclerosis in HGPS. Expression of progerin in cultured human endothelial cells induces a dysfunctional phenotype, manifested by activation of multiple pro-inflammatory, pro-atherogenic genes. In particular, our data implicate endothelial-derived interleukin-1 (IL-1) as a key mediator of a pro-inflammatory vascular phenotype. Endothelial activation also is detectable in a mouse model of HGPS, and appears to be conveyed to neighboring vascular cells via autocrine and paracrine signaling. These new mechanistic insights into the vascular pathobiology of HGPS may have therapeutic implications for this disease. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling was carried out to assess functional phenotypic changes in endothelial cells (EC) as a result of progerin expression. Cultured EC were infected with an adenovirus expressing progerin (Ad-Progerin), and as a control, an adenovirus that did not express any construct (Ad-Null). Experiments were preformed with three different EC cultures.

Toll-like receptor 2 and 4 agonists prolong triglyceride retention in macrophages

Project description:When macrophages are activated by sensing bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), they greatly increase their motility, mRNA synthesis and protein production. Most of the ATP needed for these responses is derived from the uptake and catabolism of glucose, a relatively inefficient ATP source. Although the stimulated cells also increase their uptake of free fatty acids, they store a large fraction as triglycerides (TAG). We report here that both Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2 agonists stimulate prolonged TAG retention by primary murine and human macrophages. Agonist-induced TAG storage lasted at least 72-96 hrs in vitro and was associated with increases in fatty acid (FA) uptake, FA esterification, and FA incorporation into TAG; FA oxidation decreased. The results of expression and inhibitor studies support a prominent role for increases in long chain acyl CoA synthase 1 (ACSL1) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 (DGAT2) during the sustained response to TLR2/4 activation; decreases in adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL, Pnpla2) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MgII) may also contribute. Stimulated murine macrophages that retained TAG carried out phagocytosis more effectively and were protected from saturated fatty acid-induced cell death (lipotoxicity). TLR agonist-induced TAG retention in macrophages is thus an active, sustained process that may have important adaptive functions. It may also contribute to the persistence of lipid-laden macrophages in infected tissues, host susceptibility to some microbial pathogens, and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. RNA from macrophage loaded with Fatty Acids, stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), or both compared to untreated controls (FA, LPS, FA+LPS, untreated). Replicates from 4 independent experiments.

The gut microbiota instructs the hepatic endothelial cell transcriptome

Project description:The gut microbiota affects remote organ functions but its impact on organotypic endothelial cell (EC) transcriptomes remains unexplored. The liver endothelium encounters microbiota-derived signals and metabolites via the portal circulation. To pinpoint how gut commensals affect the hepatic sinusoidal endothelium, a magnetic cell sorting protocol, combined with fluorescence activated cell sorting, was used to analyze the transcriptome of hepatic sinusoidal ECs from germ-free (GF) and conventionally-raised (CONV-R) mice by RNA-sequencing. This resulted in a comprehensive map of microbiota-regulated hepatic EC-specific transcriptome profiles. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that several functional processes in the hepatic endothelium were influenced. The absence of a microbiota influenced the expression of genes involved in cholesterol flux and angiogenesis. Specifically, genes functioning in hepatic endothelial sphingosine matabolism and the sphingosine-1-phosphate pathway showed a drastically increased expression in the GF state. Our analyses reveal a prominent role for the microbiota in shaping the transcriptional landscape of the hepatic endothelium.

Rewiring endothelial cell sphingolipid metabolism to favor S1P over ceramide signaling protects from coronary atherosclerosis

Project description:Growing evidence correlated changes in bioactive sphingolipids, particularly sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramides, with coronary artery diseases. Furthermore, specific plasma ceramide species can predict major cardiovascular events. Dysfunction of the endothelium lining lesion-prone areas plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Yet, how sphingolipid metabolism and signaling change and contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis remain poorly understood. By using a mouse model of coronary atherosclerosis, we demonstrated that hemodynamic stress induces an early metabolic rewiring of endothelial sphingolipid de novo biosynthesis favoring S1P signaling over ceramide as protective response. Furthermore, our data are paradigm shift from the current believe that ceramide accrual contributes to endothelial dysfunction. The de novo biosynthesis of sphingolipids is commenced by serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), and is downregulated by NOGO-B, an ER membrane protein. We showed that Nogo-B is upregulated by hemodynamic stress in myocardial endothelial cells (EC) of ApoE-/- mice and is expressed in the endothelium lining coronary lesions in mice and human. We demonstrated that mice lacking Nogo-B specifically in EC (Nogo-A/BECKOApoE-/-) were resistant to coronary atherosclerosis development and progression, and mortality. Fibrous cap thickness was significantly increased in Nogo-A/BECKOApoE-/- mice and correlated with reduced necrotic core and macrophage infiltration. Mechanistically, the deletion of Nogo-B in EC sustained the rewiring of sphingolipid metabolism towards S1P, imparting an atheroprotective transcriptional signature that refrain coronary atherogenesis and its progression. These findings also set forth the foundation for sphingolipid-based therapeutics to reduce the treat this condition.

Suppression of ANGPTL4 Reprograms Endothelial Cell Metabolism and Inhibits Angiogenesis

Project description:Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is known to regulate various cellular and systemic functions. However, its cell-specific role in endothelial cells (ECs) function and metabolic homeostasis remains to be elucidated. Here, using endothelial-specific Angptl4 knock-out mice (Angptl4iEC), and transcriptomics and metabolic flux analysis, we demonstrate that ANGPTL4 is required for maintaining EC metabolic function vital for vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Knockdown of ANGPTL4 in ECs promotes lipase-mediated lipoprotein lipolysis, which results in increased fatty acid (FA) uptake and oxidation. This is also paralleled by a decrease in proper glucose utilization for angiogenic activation of ECs. Mice with endothelial-specific deletion of Angptl4 showed decreased pathological neovascularization with stable vessel structures characterized by increased pericyte coverage and reduced permeability. Together, our study denotes the role of endothelial-ANGPTL4 in regulating cellular metabolism and angiogenic functions of EC.

MiRNA expression profile in the aortas of Apoe-/- mice with an specific knock-out of Dicer in endothelial cells compared to control mice after 4 weeks of a high-fat diet

Project description:Increased monocyte adhesion to dysfunctional endothelial cells (ECs) orchestrated by chemokines plays an important role in arterial inflammation during atherosclerosis. Endothelial microRNAs (miRNAs) processed by the RNase Dicer1 determine the phenotype of ECs by posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. However, the impact of endothelial miRNAs on endothelial inflammation and atherosclerosis is currently unclear. To study the effect of Dicer-dependent miRNAs in ECs during the development of atherosclerosis, Apoe-/- mice with an inducible, EC-specific knock-out of Dicer (EC-Dicerflox) and control mice (EC-DicerWT) mice were treated with tamoxifen to induce Cre-recombinase activity and fed with a high fat-diet (HFD) for 4 weeks. The comparison of the miRNA expression profile in the aortas of EC-Dicerflox and EC-DicerWT mice after 4 weeks of a HFD was performed to identify EC-specific miRNAs that may play a role in the EC function during atherogenesis.
