PTEN regulates vagal-insulin signaling to optimize autonomic output determining peripheral inflammatory and metabolic homeostasis

ABSTRACT: The vagus nerve (VN) is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system that regulates glucose and energy homeostasis. However, the specific molecular signaling pathways mediated by the VN that regulates homeostasis remain unclear. Here, we show that vagal neuron-specific deletion of phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten), the endogenous negative regulator of PI3K, led to increased vagal output. Intriguingly, dopaminergic signaling genes were upregulated, correlating with elevated sympathetic nerve density and increased norepinephrine levels in adipose tissue of Pten-deficient mice. These mice were also protected against high-fat diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation. To investigate insulin-specific PI3K signaling within the VN, we generated mice with vagal neuron-specific insulin receptor deletion that resulted in exacerbation of metabolic defects, which was rescued by concomitant Pten deletion. In summary, we show that insulin-PI3K-PTEN axis within vagal neurons is essential in optimizing the autonomic output that determines peripheral inflammatory and metabolic homeostasis.

Vagal Sensory Neuron-Derived FGF3 Regulates Insulin Secretion and Energy Balance

Project description:The vagus nerve has long been associated with the regulation of energy balance. However, the identity of the molecules mediating these effects remain largely unknown. Here, we used RNA sequencing to interrogate the molecular repertoire of the mouse vagal afferents. We found that Fgf3 mRNA is upregulated in the jugular-nodose ganglia under acute insulin resistance. Together, we provide evidence for efferent-like roles of the vagal afferents and identify Fgf3 as a novel vagal sensory-derived metabolic hormone that regulates insulin secretion and energy expenditure.

PLEKHS1 drives PI3Ks and remodels pathway homeostasis in PTEN-null prostate

Project description:The PIP3/PI3K network is a central regulator of metabolism and is frequently activated in cancer, commonly by loss of the PIP3/PI(3,4)P2-phosphatase, PTEN. Despite huge investment, the drivers of the PI3K network in normal tissues and how they adapt to overactivation are unclear. We find that in healthy mouse prostate PI3K activity is driven by RTK/IRS signalling and constrained by pathway-feedback. In the absence of PTEN, the network is dramatically remodelled. A poorly understood, YXXM- and PIP3/PI(3,4)P2-binding PH domain-containing, adaptor, PLEKHS1, became the dominant activator and was required to sustain PIP3, AKT-phosphorylation and growth in PTEN-null prostate. This was because PLEKHS1 evaded pathway-feedback and experienced enhanced PI3K- and SRC-family kinase-dependent phosphorylation of Y258XXM, eliciting PI3K-activation. hPLEKHS1-mRNA and activating-Y419-phosphorylation of hSRC correlated with PI3K-pathway activity in human prostate cancers. We propose that in PTEN-null cells, receptor-independent, SRC-dependent tyrosine-phosphorylation of PLEKHS1 creates positive-feedback that escapes homeostasis, drives PIP3-signalling and supports tumour progression.

Modulation of brain dead induced inflammation by vagus nerve stimulation

Project description:Because the vagus nerve is implicated in control of inflammation, we investigated if brain death causes impairment of the parasympathetic nervous system, hence contributing to inflammation. Brain death (BD) was induced in rats. Anaesthetised ventilated rats (NBD) served as control. Heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed by ECG. The vagus nerve was electrically stimulated (BD+STIM) during BD. Intestine, kidney, heart and liver were harvested after 6h. Affymetrix chip- analysis was performed on intestinal RNA. Quantitative PCR was performed on all organs. Serum was collected to assess TNFÎ± concentrations. Renal transplantations were performed to address the influence of vagus nerve stimulation on graft outcome. HRV was significantly lower in BD animals. Vagus nerve stimulation inhibited the increase in serum TNFÎ± concentrations and resulted in down-regulation of a multiplicity of pro-inflammatory genes in intestinal tissue. In renal tissue vagal stimulation significantly decreased the expression of E-selectin, IL1Î² and ITGA6. Renal function was significantly better in recipients that received a graft from a BD+STIM donor. Our study demonstrates impairment of the parasympathetic nervous system during BD and inhibition of serum TNFÎ± through vagal stimulation. Vagus nerve stimulation variably affected gene expression in donor organs and improved renal function in recipients. Gene expression in brain dead (BD) induced rat (with and without vagal stimulation) was compared with that of Non brain-dead ventilated control (NBD)

Single Cell Transcriptome Analysis of Regenerating RGCs Reveals Potent Glaucoma Neural Repair Genes [Second_batch_reg_RGCs]

Project description:Axon regeneration holds great promise for neural repair of CNS axonopathies, including glaucoma. Pten deletion in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) promotes potent optic nerve regeneration, but only a small population of Pten-null RGCs are actually regenerating RGCs (regRGCs); most surviving RGCs (surRGCs) remain non-regenerative. Here we developed a strategy to specifically label and purify regRGCs and surRGCs respectively from the same Pten deletion mice after optic nerve crush, in which they differ only in their regeneration capability. Smart-Seq2 single cell transcriptome analysis revealed novel regeneration-associated genes that significantly promote axon regeneration. The most potent of these, Anxa2, acts synergistically with its ligand tPA in Pten deletion-induced axon regeneration. Anxa2, its downstream effector ILK, and Mpp1 dramatically protect RGC somata and axons and preserves visual function in a clinically relevant model of glaucoma, demonstrating the exciting potential of this innovative strategy to identify novel effective neural repair candidates.
