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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Lipolysis drives expression of the constitutively active receptor GPR3 to induce adipose thermogenesis [hBA-OE]

Project description:Thermogenic adipocytes possess a therapeutically appealing, energy-expending capacity, which is canonically cold-induced by ligand-dependent activation of b-adrenergic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here we uncover an alternate paradigm of GPCR-mediated adipose thermogenesis through the constitutively active receptor, GPR3. We show that the N-terminus of GPR3 confers intrinsic signaling activity, resulting in continuous Gs-coupling and cAMP production without an exogenous ligand. Thus, transcriptional induction of Gpr3 represents the regulatory parallel to ligand-binding of conventional GPCRs. Consequently, increasing Gpr3 expression in thermogenic adipocytes is alone sufficient to drive energy expenditure and counteract metabolic disease in mice. Gpr3 transcription is cold-stimulated by a lipolytic signal and dietary fat potentiates GPR3-dependent thermogenesis to amplify the response to caloric excess. Moreover, we find GPR3 to be an essential, adrenergic-independent regulator of human brown adipocytes. Taken together, our findings reveal a noncanonical mechanism of GPCR control and thermogenic activation through the lipolysis-induced expression of constitutively active GPR3.

STAT1 Dissociates Adipose Tissue Inflammation from Insulin Sensitivity in Obesity

Project description:Purpose: To determine how STAT1 activity in white adipocytes affects insulin sensitivity. Methods: Adipocyte specific (ADIPOQ-Cre) STAT1 fl/fl mice (STAT1 fKO) and littermate controls (STAT1 fl/fl) were placed on 60% HFD for 18 weeks, followed by metabolic phenoptying and tissue harvest for RNA-seq Results: STAT1 expression in WAT inversely correlated with fasting plasma glucose in both obese mice and humans. Metabolomic and gene expression profiling established STAT1 deletion in adipocytes (STAT1 fKO) enhanced mitochondrial function and accelerated TCA cycle flux coupled with subcutaneous WAT hyperplasia. STAT1 fKO reduced WAT inflammation, but insulin resistance persisted in obese mice. Rather, elimination of type I cytokine interferon gamma (IFNg) activity enhanced insulin sensitivity in diet-induced obesity. Conclusions: Our findings reveal a permissive mechanism that bridges WAT inflammation to whole-body insulin sensitivity.

Comprehensive transcriptomic characterization of hepatic expression signatures affected by guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein) alpha 12 knockout

Project description:Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) transmit extracellular signals from cell surface G protein-coupled receptors to intracellular effector molecules. Of the G proteins, Gα12 has attracted particular interest as the gep oncogene in cancer research because it promotes the growth and oncogenic transformation of fibroblasts and is invoked in tumorigenesis. In our findings, Gα12 expression was higher in HCC than surrounding non-tumorous tissue. Results provide information on the role of Gα12 in HCC progression. cDNA microarrays analyses using liver samples obtained from WT and Gα12-knockout mice enabled us to extract the predominant processes affected by a deficiency of Gα12, which include cellular response to stress, cell proliferation, actin cytoskeleton organization, and cellular component biogenesis.

Nck2 Regulates Adiposity and Adiposity-Related Metabolic Disorders in Mice and Human

Project description:Obesity is linked to the development of metabolic disorders. Expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT) from hypertrophy of pre-existing adipocytes and/or differentiation of precursors into new mature adipocytes contributes to obesity. We found that Nck2 expression is largely restricted to WAT, raising the hypothesis that it may play a unique function in that tissue. Using mice lacking Nck2, we found that Nck2 regulates adipocyte hypertrophy thus contributing to increased adiposity and progressive glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. These findings were recapitulated in humans such that Nck2 expression in omental WAT was inversely correlated with the degree of obesity. Mechanistically, Nck2 deficiency promoted the induction of an adipocyte differentiation program and signaling by the PERK-eIF2Î±-ATF4 pathway in agreement with a role for the unfolded protein response in adipogenesis. These findings uncover Nck2 as a novel regulator of adipogenesis and that perturbation in its functionality contributes to adiposity-related metabolic disorders.

Gene expression profile of developing adipose tissue in vivo

Project description:Obesity is characterized by an increase in the size and the number of adipocytes. However, the mechanisms responsible for the formation of adipocytes during development and the molecular mechanisms regulating their increase and maintenance in adulthood are poorly understood. Here, we report the use of leptin-luciferase BAC transgenic mice to track white adipose tissue (WAT) development and guide the isolation and molecular characterization of adipocytes during development using DNA microarrays. These data reveal distinct transcriptional programs that are regulated during murine WAT development in vivo. Developing mouse adipose tissue from at least 3 embryos were pooled for embryonic and postnatal time points.

Gene expression data of brown-like adipocytes from Lgr4 homozygous mutant SVF

Project description:Obesity has become a global health problem. Brown adipose tissue (BAT), specialized for energy expenditure through thermogenesis, potently counteracts obesity. Recently, BAT is also identified in human adults. We found that Lgr4 homozygous mutant (Lgr4m/m) mice display reduced adiposity and exhibit brown-like adipocytes in their WAT depots with higher expression of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1). Furthermore, Lgr4 ablation potentiates brown adipocyte differentiation from stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of epididymal WAT (eWAT) in vitro. We used microarrays to emxamine the gene expression profiles of the brown-like adipocytes differentiated from SVF of wild-type and Lgr4 mutant mice. We identified distinct gene expression profiles of these two groups. To demonstrate Lgr4 ablation can potentiate the differentiation of SVF from eWAT toward brown-like adipocytes in vitro, we isolated SVF from epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of wild-type (WT) and Lgr4 mutant mice. We then plated SVF cells in 12-well plate, and differentiated them to brown adipocytes, followed by RNA extraction and hybridization with Affymetrix microarrays.
