Intestinal epithelial cell EphB4 deficiency on high fat diet-induced obesity

ABSTRACT: High-fat diets (HFD) exacerbate excessive lipid absorption by compelling the small intestine (SI) to take in redundant calories, yet host-encoded mechanisms are not fully explored. Previous research demonstrated that intestinal group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3)–interleukin-22 (IL-22)–phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) axis fluctuates with feeding rhythms and engages in nutrient absorption. We found that prolonged HFD feeding enhances this axis in the proximal SI, leading to adaptively increased lipid absorption. Notably, we identified Eph receptor B4 (EphB4), an intestinal epithelial regulator that interacts with ILC3s microbiota-independently, thereby boosting pre-meal IL-22 secretion and subsequent lipid absorption, elucidating its crucial role in the interplay between diet, immune axis, and metabolism. In HFD-induced obesed mice, deleting EphB4 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) reduced proximal intestinal lipid absorption, improved obesity and metabolic disorders.

Genome binding/occupancy profiling of ESRRA in the small intestinal epithelium

Project description:Amidst the obesity epidemic and advancements in satiety-targeting therapies, the transcriptional control of energy metabolism is crucial for managing obesity. The transcription factor Estrogen-related receptor α (ESRRA) regulates genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, gluconeogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid metabolism. Although not essential for basic cellular function, ESRRA is vital for energy supply during physiological and pathological challenges. Studies show Esrra mutant mice have impaired fat metabolism and absorption, with germline Esrra loss conferring resistance to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. However, these studies often overlook tissue-specific roles. Esrra knockdown in the medial pre-frontal cortex reduces feeding and HFD-induced obesity, indicating possible neurological involvement. Notably, ESRRA is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, a key player in dietary lipid metabolism and target of weight loss therapies.This study aims to investigate the impact of intestinal ESRRA and determine whether it contributes to resistance to diet-induced obesity.

Akkermansia muciniphila reduces lipid absorption through activating AMPK in the jejunum

Project description:Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) associated with multiple metabolic diseases and administration of Akk can improve the metabolic disorders. However, little is known about the effect of Akk on jejunal epithelial cells which absorb lipid and interact with oral administrated Akk. We oral administrated Akk to mice and measured the lipid absorption and gene expression in small intestinal epithelial cells. The long-term effect of Akk treatment reduced lipid deposits in the liver and adipocytes with improved the glucose metabolism. This is particularly caused by reduced lipid absorption in jejunal epithelia. Akk feeding reduced the expression of those genes that regulate synthesis and cell cycles, characters of the host cell responding to energy deficiency. In fact, we detected increased AMPK-alpha phosphorylation levels in Akk-treated jejunal epithelial cells both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, activating AMPK inhibits lipids absorption in jejunum. Thus, we conclude that oral administration of Akk activates the AMPK pathway and represses the lipid absorption in jejunal epithelial cells, which contributes to the metabolic benefits of oral Akk administration.

Mitochondria regulate dietary lipid processing in enterocytes

Project description:Digested dietary fats are taken up, processed and transported by enterocytes to supply the body with lipids. Most absorbed lipids are assembled into pre-chylomicrons in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of enterocytes, which are then transported to the Golgi for maturation and subsequent secretion to the circulation. The role of mitochondria in regulating intestinal lipid transport remains unknown. Here we show that mitochondrial dysfunction in enterocytes inhibits chylomicron production and the transport of dietary lipids to peripheral organs. Mice with intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific ablation of the mitochondrial-specific aspartyl - tRNA synthetase DARS2, as well as of the respiratory chain subunit SDHA or the assembly factor COX10 failed to thrive and showed massive accumulation of lipids within large lipid droplets (LDs) in enterocytes of the proximal small intestine (SI). Feeding a fat-free diet inhibited the formation of LDs in DARS2-deficient enterocytes, showing that accumulating lipids derive mostly from digested fat. Furthermore, metabolic tracing studies revealed impaired transport of dietary lipids to peripheral organs in mice lacking DARS2 in IECs. Moreover, DARS2-deficient enterocytes showed a distinct lack of mature chylomicrons concomitant with a disorganisation of the Golgi apparatus, suggesting that impaired ER to Golgi trafficking underlies impaired chylomicron production and secretion. Taken together, these results revealed a vital role of mitochondria in regulating dietary lipid transport in enterocytes, which is relevant for understanding the intestinal and nutritional defects observed in patients with mitochondrial defects.

Impact of Short term exposure of HFD on gut immune cells

Project description:Prolonged exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD) exacerbates intestinal disease pathology, yet the early events preceding the development of gut inflammation remain poorly understood. Here we show that within 48 hours, HFD impairs intestinal group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and their capacity to produce interleukin-22 (IL-22), critical for maintaining gut homeostasis. This loss of function was associated with rapid dysbiosis, increased gut permeability, and reduced production of antimicrobial peptides, mucus, and tight junction proteins. While saturated fatty acids metabolized through oxidation impaired ILC3 function, unsaturated fatty acids sustained IL-22 secretion by ILC3 through the formation of lipid droplets using DGAT enzymes. Upon inflammation, saturated fatty acids significantly impaired IL-22 production by ILC3 and increased the susceptibility of the gut to injury. Our findings reveal the differential acute impact of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on gut homeostasis through distinct metabolic pathways in ILC3.

Next Generation Sequencing Analysis of Pparafl/fl and PparaΔIE intestinal transcriptomes

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic diseases globally and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is its progressive stage with limited therapeutic options. Here a role for intestinal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)-fatty acid binding protein 1 (FABP1) in obesity-associated metabolic syndrome, fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis via modulating dietary fat absorption was uncovered. Intestinal PPARα is highly activated accompanied by marked upregulation of FABP1 by high-fat diet (HFD) in mice and obese humans. Intestine-specific PPARα or FABP1 disruption in mice decreases HFD-induced obesity, fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and intestinal PPARα disruption fails to further decrease obesity and NASH. Chemical PPARα antagonism improves metabolic disorders depending on the presence of intestinal PPARα or FABP1. Translationally, GW6471 decreases human PPARα-driven intestinal fatty acid uptake and therapeutically improves obesity in PPARA-humanized, but not Ppara-null, mice. These results suggest that intestinal PPARα-FABP1 axis could be a therapeutic target for NASH.

Regional differences in the small intestinal proteome of control mice and of mice lacking lysosomal acid lipase

Project description:Background: Despite recent studies investigating the involvement of single cells in regional differences of the small intestine (SI), the metabolic contribution of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum to the overall intestinal metabolism is still unclear. Basic procedures and main findings: Using an untargeted proteomics approach, we identified similarities and differences between the three intestinal tracts of C57BL/6J mice and found that proteins highly abundant in the mouse ileum correlated with high ileal expression of the corresponding genes in humans. Consistent with human data, we detected increasing abundance of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) in C57BL/6J mice from the duodenum to ileum. LAL is the only enzyme known to degrade triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters within the lysosome. Lipid accumulation in various organs along with gastrointestinal disturbances and malabsorption are typical features of patients and mice with LAL deficiency. We previously demonstrated that macrophages massively infiltrate the SI of Lal-deficient (KO) mice, especially the duodenum. To identify potential mechanisms behind the intestinal lipid accumulation and infiltration of immune cells, we used untargeted proteomics. Our results revealed a general inflammatory response and a common lipid-associated macrophage phenotype in all three intestinal segments of Lal KO mice, accompanied by higher expression of GPNMB and increased concentrations of circulating sTREM2. However, only duodenal macrophages activated a metabolic switch from lipids to other pathways such as glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation to meet their high energy demand. Unexpectedly, these pathways were downregulated in the jejunum and ileum of Lal KO mice. Conclusion: Our results provide new insights into the process of absorption in control mice and the basis for novel markers of LAL-D and/or systemic inflammation in LAL-D.

Mesenchymal-epithelial crosstalk shapes intestinal regionalisation via Wnt and Shh signalling [RNA-seq]

Project description:In the small intestine (SI), regionalisation enables sequential processing of food and nutrient absorption. To characterise the basis for region-specific mesenchymal-epithelial crosstalks during late small intestinal morphogenesis, we combined transcriptional profiling of epithelial and mesenchymal cell populations isolated from different intestinal regions with ChIP-seq, 3D imaging and functional ex vivo and organoid studies. We find that a mesenchymal PDGFRA-high population located in close proximity to the developing epithelium is enriched for genes involved in signalling and support the epithelium in a region-specific manner via the establishment of a proximal to distal gradient of epithelial Wnt activity. Furthermore, we provide evidence that Wnt signalling in the distal SI directly regulates epithelial expression of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), which in turn acts on mesenchymal cells driving villi formation. Our results therefore uncover a mechanistic link between Wnt and Hedgehog signalling across different cellular compartments central for anterior-posterior regionalisation and correct organ formation.
