Liver-specific suppression of PLA2G6/iPLA2β improves glucose and lipid metabolism via phospholipid remodeling in high-fat diet-fed mice

ABSTRACT: Phospholipase A2 group VI (PLA2G6, also called iPLA2β) has been implicated in male fertility, neuronal disorders, and metabolic diseases. However, its therapeutic effects on metabolic disorders remain elusive. We investigated the effects of Pla2g6 suppression on glucose and lipid metabolism. Systemic inhibition of Pla2g6 in high-fat diet-fed mice reduced hepatic lipid droplet formation without altering the levels of serum triglycerides and fasting blood glucose. Suppression of liver-specific Pla2g6 utilizing the short-hairpin RNA knockdown technique using an adenovirus vector (Ad-shPLA2G6) altered phospholipid and fatty acid metabolites and suppressed hepatic lipid accumulation, serum triglyceride, fasting glucose, and insulin levels. Additionally, Ad-shPLA2G6 treatment downregulated lipid biosynthesis-related genes but upregulated peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation-related genes. These findings indicate that targeting hepatic Pla2g6 modulates phospholipid and fatty acid metabolites and improves glucose and lipid metabolism, suggesting Pla2g6 as a potential therapeutic target in metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

Project description:Medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase (MCAD) catalyzes crucial steps in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, a process that is of key relevance for maintenance of energy homeostasis, especially during high metabolic demand. To gain insight into the metabolic consequences of MCAD deficiency under these conditions, we compared hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in vivo in wild-type and MCAD-/- mice during fasting and during a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute phase response (APR). MCAD-/- mice did not become more hypoglycemic on fasting or during the APR than wild-type mice did. Nevertheless, microarray analyses revealed increased hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1a (Pgc-1a) and decreased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (Ppar a) and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (Pdk4) expression in MCAD-/- mice in both conditions,suggesting altered control of hepatic glucose metabolism. Quantitative flux measurements revealed that the de novo synthesis of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) was not affected on fasting in MCAD-/- mice. During the APR, however, this flux was significantly decreased (-20%) in MCAD-/- mice compared with wild-type mice. Remarkably, newly formed G6P was preferentially directed toward glycogen in MCAD-/- mice under both conditions. Together with diminished de novo synthesis of G6P, this led to a decreased hepatic glucose output during the APR in MCAD-/- mice; de novo synthesis of G6P and hepatic glucose output were maintained in wild-type mice under both conditions. APR-associated hypoglycemia, which was observed in wild-type mice as well as MCAD-/- mice, was mainly due to enhanced peripheral glucose uptake. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that MCAD deficiency in mice leads to specific changes in hepatic carbohydrate management on exposure to metabolic stress. This deficiency, however, does not lead to reduced de novo synthesis of G6P during fasting alone, which may be due to the existence of compensatory mechanisms or limited rate control of MCAD in murine mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation.
