NHP Liver treated with Vehicle or LXR Ligand

ABSTRACT: The LXR-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase IDOL controls LDLR receptor stability independent of SREBP and PCSK9, but its relevance to plasma lipid levels is unknown. Here we demonstrate that the effects of the LXR–IDOL axis are both tissue- and species-specific. In mice, LXR agonist induces Idol expression in peripheral tissues but not in liver, and does not change plasma LDL levels. Accordingly, Idol-deficient mice exhibit elevated LDLR protein levels in peripheral tissues but not in the liver and have minimal change in plasma LDL levels. By contrast, LXR activation in cynomolgus monkeys induces hepatic IDOL expression, reduces LDLR protein, and raises plasma LDL levels. Knockdown of IDOL in monkeys with an antisense oligonucleotide blunts the effect of LXR agonist on LDL levels. These results implicate IDOL as a modulator of plasma lipid levels in primates and support further investigation into IDOL inhibition as a strategy for LDL lowering in humans.

siRNAs induced long-term liver ApoB mRNA knockdown significantly lowers serum cholesterol in a mouse model with human-like serum lipids

Project description:Increased serum apoB and associated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels are well correlated with an increased risk of coronary disease. Apo E-/- and LDLr -/- mice have been extensively used for studies of coronary atherosclerosis. These animals show atherosclerotic lesions similar to those in humans, but their serum lipids are low in apoB containing LDL particles. We describe the development of a new mouse model with a human-like lipid profile. Ldlr+/- CETP+/- hemizygous mice carry a single copy of the human CETP transgene and a single copy of a LDL receptor mutation. To evaluate the apoB pathways in this mouse model, we used novel siRNAs formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). ApoB siRNAs induced up to 95% reduction of liver ApoB mRNA and serum apoB protein, and a significant lowering of serum LDL in Ldlr+/- CETP+/- mice. ApoB targeting is specific, dose dependent and shows lipid lowering effects for over three weeks. Although specific TGs were affected by ApoB KD, and the total plasma lipid levels were decreased by 70%, the overall lipid distribution did not change. Results presented here demonstrate a new mouse model for investigating additional targets within the ApoB pathways using the siRNA modality. Two oligoes specific for ApoB were used to knock down apoB expression in C57Bl6 or B6-Ldlr(tm1)Tg(APOA1-CETP) mice. Gene expression profiling was performed with Affymetrix Merck Custom Mouse 1.0 microarrays (GPL9734).

Impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis in a mouse model of familial hypercholesterolemia: a role for the LDL receptor and cholesterol metabolism in adult neural precursor cells (LDL treatment)

Project description:In familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), mutations in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLr) gene result in increased plasma LDL cholesterol. Clinical and preclinical studies revealed an association between FH and hippocampus-related memory and mood impairment. We here asked whether hippocampal pathology in FH might be a consequence of compromised adult hippocampal neurogenesis. We evaluated hippocampus-dependent behaviour and neurogenesis in adult C57BL/6JRj and LDLr-/- mice. Behavioural tests revealed that adult LDLr-/- mice showed reduced performance in a dentate gyrus (DG)-dependent metric change task. This phenotype was accompanied by a reduction in cell proliferation and adult neurogenesis in the DG of LDLr-/- mice, suggesting a potential direct impact of LDLr mutation on NPC. We thus investigated the effects of elevated cholesterol and the function of LDLr in neural precursor cells (NPC) isolated from adult C57BL/6JRj mice in vitro. Exposure of NPC to LDL as well as LDLr gene knockdown reduced proliferation and disrupted transcriptional activity of genes involved in endogenous cholesterol synthesis and metabolism. The LDL treatment also induced an increase in intracellular lipid storage. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed parallel modulation of distinct regulatory networks upon LDL treatment and LDLr knockdown. Together, these results suggest that high LDL levels and a loss of LDLr function, which are characteristic to individuals with FH, might contribute to a disease-related impairment in adult hippocampal neurogenesis and, consequently, cognitive functions.

Liver gene expression profiles of Tribbles-homolog1 (Trib1)/Ldl-receptor (Ldlr) double-knockout mice against Ldlr-knockout mice

Project description:Genetic variants at the TRIB1 (Tribbles-homolog 1) gene locus are strongly associated with plasma lipid traits and the risk of coronary artery disease in humans. In this study, we analyzed the consequences of Trib1-deficiency (Trib1-/-) on hepatic gene expression in mice on the atherosclerosis-susceptible LDL-receptor deficient (Ldlr-/-) background. Therefore, Trib1-/- mice were crossed onto the Ldlr-/- background to generate double knockout mice (Trib1-/-Ldlr-/-) and fed a semisynthetic, modified AIN76 diet (0.02% cholesterol, 4.3% fat). At 20 weeks of age, Trib1-/-Ldlr-/- mice and Trib1+/+Ldlr-/- control mice were sacrificed and liver tissue was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further processing. Total RNA was isolated from liver tissue (n=8 mice per genotype) and subjected to microarray gene expression analysis.

Atlas of miRNome variations in different dyslipidemic conditions: a study in C57Bl/6, Ldlr-KO, and Pcsk9-KO mice.

Project description:In this study, mice with different genotypes and fed diets with different lipid content were enrolled, aiming to set up an atlas of miRNA expression levels in different organs with a relevant role in lipid/lipoprotein metabolism. Specifically, three genotypes were investigated: C57Bl/6 mice as controls, together with mice knock-out (KO) for LDLr (low-density lipoprotein receptor) and for PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). LDLr and PCSK9 are both involved in LDL turnover, the former mediating LDL clearance [PMID: 19299327], the latter causing the degradation of the LDLr protein [PMID: 17080197]. As a result, LDLrKO mice, because of their impaired LDL catabolism, are hypercholesterolemic and prone to atherosclerosis development, particularly when fed high-fat, cholesterol-containing diets [PMID: 8349823; PMID: 8182121]. On the contrary, PCSK9KO mice, characterized by an accelerated LDL catabolism, are hypocholesterolemic and atherosclerosis resistant [PMID: 15805190]. miRNA expression was investigated in liver, intestine, aorta, white adipose tissue and brain of mice on both standard and Western diet.

Mild hyperlipidemia in mice aggravates platelet responsiveness in thrombus formation: exploration of platelet proteome and lipidome.

Project description:Hyperlipidemia is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Trillions of people worldwide display mildly elevated levels of plasma lipids and cholesterol due to diet and life-style. The relationship between severe hyperlipidemia and thrombosis has been extensively investigated, but the effects of the preliminary stages of hyperlipidemia on platelet function are unclear. Therefore, we investigated how moderate elevation of different plasma lipid profiles influence platelet activation and thrombus formation, as compared to higher plasma lipid concentrations. Hyperlipidemic Apoe-/- and Ldlr-/- and wild-type mice were fed a normal chow diet, resulting in mildly increased plasma cholesterol. Blood from both knockout mice was used in comparison to wild-type mice, for multiparameter ex vivo measurements of thrombus formation under flow. Whole blood (fibrin-)thrombus formation on collagen in the absence or presence of coagulation (with(out) tissue factor), indicated enhancement of the thrombotic process in both knockout mice. These effects were not further aggravated in aged mice, as well as in Apoe-/- mice on high fat diet with very high plasma cholesterol levels. Bone marrow chimeras of wild-type or Ldlr-/- platelets into irradiated Ldlr-/- recipient mice showed similar thrombus formation patterns. This suggested that hyperlipidemia itself, not the platelet LDL receptor deficiency is responsible for the altered platelet activation status in Ldlr-/- mice. Exploration of the platelet proteome revealed high similarity between the three genotypes, although some proteins showed significantly changed expression in Apoe-/- mice. Finally, platelet lipidomic analysis showed an increased lipid profile in mildly hyperlipidemic mice, which may further contribute to the observed prothrombotic phenotype

PCSK9 deficiency results in a specific shedding of excess LDLR in female mice only: Role of hepatic cholesterol

Project description:PCSK9 promotes the lysosomal degradation of cell surface LDL receptor (LDLR). We analyzed how excess LDLR generated by PCSK9 deficiency is differently handled in male and female mice to possibly unveil the mechanism leading to the lower efficacy of PCSK9 mAb on LDL-cholesterol levels in women. Analysis of intact or ovariectomized PCSK9 knockout (KO) mice supplemented with placebo or 17β-estradiol (E2) demonstrated that female, but not male mice massively shed the soluble ectodomain of the LDLR in the plasma. Liver-specific PCSK9 KO or alirocumab-treated WT mice exhibit the same pattern. This shedding is distinct from the basal one and is inhibited by ZLDI-8, a metalloprotease inhibitor pointing at ADAM10/ADAM17. In PCSK9 KO female mice, ZLDI- 8 raises by 80 % the LDLR liver content in a few hours. This specific shedding is likely cholesterol-dependent: it is prevented in PCSK9 KO male mice that exhibit low intra-hepatic cholesterol levels without activating SREBP-2, and enhanced by mevalonate or high cholesterol feeding, or by E2 known to stimulate cholesterol synthesis via the estrogen receptor-α. Liver transcriptomics demonstrates that critically low liver cholesterol in ovariectomized female or knockout male mice also hampers the cholesterol-dependent G2/M transition of the cell cycle. Finally, higher levels of shed LDLR were measured in the plasma of women treated with PCSK9 mAb. PCSK9 knockout female mice hormonally sustain cholesterol synthesis and shed excess LDLR, seemingly like women. In contrast, male mice rely on high surface LDLR to replenish their stocks, despite 80 % lower circulating LDL.

Finasteride delays atherosclerosis progression in mice and is associated with a reduction in plasma cholesterol in men

Project description:Finasteride is commonly prescribed to treat benign prostate hyperplasia and male-pattern baldness in cis men and, more recently, trans individuals. However, the effect of finasteride on cardiovascular disease remains elusive. We evaluated the role of finasteride on atherosclerosis using low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient (Ldlr-/-) mice. Next, we examined the relevance to humans by analysing the data deposited between 2009 and 2016 in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We show that finasteride reduces total plasma cholesterol and delays the development of atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- mice. Finasteride reduced monocytosis, monocyte recruitment to the lesion, macrophage lesion content, and necrotic core area, the latter of which is an indicator of plaque vulnerability in humans. RNA sequencing analysis revealed a downregulation of inflammatory pathways and an upregulation of bile acid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and cholesterol pathways in the liver of mice taking finasteride. Men reporting the use of finasteride showed lower plasma levels of cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol than those not taking the drug. Our data unveil finasteride as a potential treatment to delay cardiovascular disease in people by improving the plasma lipid profile.
