Hypoxia-induced metabolic dysfunction in WAT

ABSTRACT: Background: Excessive white adipose tissue (WAT) expansion as in obesity is generally associated with chronic inflammation of WAT, which contributes to obesity associated complications. Low oxygen availability in WAT is hypothesized to be the initiator of this inflammatory response. Hypothesis: We examined the hypothesis that local tissue hypoxia is responsible for the initiation of inflammation in WAT. Research design and methods: Diet-induced obese male C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice, housed at thermoneutrality, were exposed to mild environmental oxygen restriction (OxR, to 13% oxygen) for five days and compared with mice kept at normoxia, after which WAT and serum were collected. Body composition, systemic metabolic parameters, WAT macrophage infiltration (as marker for tissue inflammation) and whole genome microarray analysis, and circulating adipokines were measured. Results: Five days OxR decreased body weight and fat mass, and increased blood levels of haemoglobin and haematocrit, as well as lactate to glucose ratio, which indicated systemic hypoxia. No difference in adipose tissue inflammation was found, which was supported by down regulation of inflammation-associated transcript levels of S100a8, Saa1, and Saa3. Serum metabolomics revealed an increase of branched chain amino acid Valine and propionylcarnitine. Adipokines CCDC3, CCK, and Adiponectin are reduced by OxR on transcript (Cck) or serum protein level (Adiponectin), or both (CCDC3). Conclusions: Mild oxygen restriction does not increase white adipose tissue inflammation in obese mice. However, a systemic adaptation together with a metabolic response in WAT was observed.

Adipocyte XBP1s regulates systemic insulin sensitivity by modulating adiponectin multimerization

Project description:The physiological role of the spliced form of X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1s), a key transcription factor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, in adipose tissue remains largely unknown. Here we show that overexpression of XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization in adipocytes, thereby regulating systemic glucose homeostasis. Ectopic expression of XBP1s in adipocytes improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese (ob/ob) mice. The beneficial effect of adipocyte XBP1s on glucose homeostasis is associated with elevated serum levels of HMW adiponectin and indeed, is adiponectin dependent. Mechanistically, XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization rather than activating its transcription likely through a direct regulation of the expression of several ER-chaperones involved in adiponectin maturation, including Grp78, Pdia6, ERp44 and DsbA-L. Thus, we conclude that XBP1s is an important regulator of adiponectin multimerization, which may lead to a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and hypoadiponectinemia. Epididymal adipose tissue from wild type and XBP1-overexpressing mice was subjected to gene expression profiling.

Metabolic adaptation of white adipose tissue to acute, short-term environmental oxygen restriction in mice

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) expansion during e.g. obesity reduces oxygen availability in WAT in mice. Little is known on the adaptation of WAT to mild environmental oxygen restriction (OxR). Therefore, we studied metabolic adaptation to acute OxR in fasted, diet-induced moderately obese mice that were exposed to mild hypoxic (12% O2) or normoxic (20.9% O2) conditions for only 6 hours. Adaptation was assessed by determination of amino acids and (acyl)carnitines levels in serum and WAT, and by whole genome expression analysis in WAT. Adaptation was also assessed during the exposure using indirect calorimetry. We found that OxR reduced mitochondrial oxidation at whole-body level, as shown by a reduction in whole-body oxygen consumption and an increase in serum long-chain acylcarnitine levels. WAT did not seem to contribute to this serum profile since only short-chain acylcarnitines were increased in WAT and gene expression analysis indicated an increase in mitochondrial oxidation, based on coordinate down-regulation of Sirt4, Gpam and Chchd3/Minos3. In addition, OxR did not induce oxidative stress in obese WAT, but increased molecular pathways involved in cell growth and proliferation. OxR increased levels of tyrosine, lysine and ornithine in serum and of leucine/isoleucine in WAT. This study shows that OxR limits oxidative phosphorylation at whole-body level, but in WAT compensatory mechanisms seem to operate. The down-regulation of the mitochondria-related genes Sirt4, Gpam, and Chchd3 may be considered as a biomarker profile for WAT mitochondrial reprogramming in response to acute exposure to limited oxygen availability.

The epigenetic signature of systemic insulin resistance in obese women [BL]

Project description:Impaired ability of insulin to stimulate cellular glucose uptake and regulate metabolism, that is insulin resistance (IR), links adiposity to metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (Langenberg, 2012). Both genetic and epigenetic factors are implicated in development of systemic IR (Vaag, 2001). IR is characterized by elevated levels of fasting insulin in the general circulation. The aim of this study is to explore whether white adipose tissue (WAT) epigenetic dysregulation is associated with systemic IR by global CpG methylation and gene expression profiling in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue. A secondary aim is to determine whether the DNA methylation signature in peripheral blood mononuclear cells reflect WAT methylation, and can be used as marker for systemic IR. DNA methylation was analyzed in DNA extracted from SAT (subcutaneous adipose tissue) and VAT (visceral adipose tissue) pieces, as well as PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells), using the Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip assay. This data is from PBMCs.

RNAseq from Mfn2-R707W knock-in mice

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported in obesity and insulin resistance, but primary genetic mitochondrial dysfunction is generally not associated with these, arguing against a straightforward causal relationship. A rare exception, recently identified in humans, is a syndrome of lower body adipose loss, leptin-deficient severe upper body adipose overgrowth, and insulin resistance caused by the p.Arg707Trp mutation in MFN2, encoding mitofusin-2. How this selective perturbation of mitochondrial function leads to tissue- and adipose depot-specific growth abnormalities and systemic biochemical perturbation is unknown. To address this, Mfn2R707W/R707W knock-in mice were generated and phenotyped on chow and high fat diets. Electron microscopy revealed adipose-specific mitochondrial morphological abnormalities. Oxidative phosphorylation by isolated mitochondria was unperturbed, but the cellular integrated stress response was activated in adipose tissue. Fat mass and distribution, body weight, and systemic glucose and lipid metabolism were unchanged, however serum leptin and adiponectin concentrations, and their secretion from adipose explants were reduced. Pharmacological induction of the integrated stress response in wild-type adipocytes also reduced secretion of leptin and adiponectin, suggesting an explanation for the in vivo findings. These data suggest that the p.Arg707Trp MFN2 mutation perturbs mitochondrial morphology and activates the integrated stress response selectively in adipose tissue. In mice, this does not disrupt most adipocyte functions or systemic metabolism, whereas in humans it is associated with pathological adipose remodelling and metabolic disease. In both species, disproportionate effects on leptin secretion may relate to cell autonomous induction of the integrated stress response.

An adipokine derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue

Project description:Adipokines are proteins secreted by the adipose tissue and are associated with obesity-related metabolic disorders; however, most studies have focused on adipokines expressed by visceral adipose tissue. This study aimed to identify the adipokine potentially derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue and its clinical significance.

Gene expression profiles in inguinal white adipose tissue of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4-KO mice

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) is a highly active metabolic and endocrine organ, and its dysfunction links obesity to a variety of diseases, ranging from type 2 diabetes to cancer. The function of WAT is under the control of multiple cell signaling systems, including that of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Gαs- and Gαi-coupled receptors have been reported to regulate lipolysis, and Gαq-coupled receptors stimulate glucose uptake in adipocytes. However, the roles of Gα12/13-coupled receptors in WAT are totally unknown. Here we show that lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4 (LPA4), an adipose cluster GPCR, selectively activates Gα12/13 proteins in adipocytes, and limits continuous remodeling and healthy expansion of WAT in mice. Under standard diet conditions, LPA4-knockout mice showed higher expression levels of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes in WAT, along with higher production of adiponectin than control mice. In vitro studies have consistently demonstrated that the LPA4/Rho/Rho-kinase signaling pathway suppresses mRNA expression of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes in adipocytes. In a diet-induced obesity model, LPA4-deficient mice showed “metabolically healthy obese” phenotypes, with continuous WAT expansion, and protection from WAT inflammation, hepatosteatosis, and insulin resistance. Given that GPCRs comprise the most successful class of drug targets, LPA4 would be a promising therapeutic target for obesity-related metabolic disorders.
