IL-6/Stat3-Dependent Induction of Distinct, Obesity-Associated Natural Killer Cells Deteriorates Energy and Glucose Homeostasis

ABSTRACT: Natural killer (NK) cells contribute to the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance. We demonstrate that in mice obesity promotes the expansion of interleukin-6 receptor (IL6Ra)-expressing NK cells, which also express a number of other myeloid lineage genes such as the colony-stimulating-factor 1 receptor (Csf1r). Selective ablation of Csf1r- expressing NK cells prevents obesity and insulin resistance. Moreover, conditional inactivation of IL6Ra or Stat3 in NK cells limits obesity-associated formation of myeloid signature NK cells, protects from obesity, insulin resistance and obesity-associated inflammation. Also in humans IL6Ra+ NK cells increase in obesity, correlate with markers of systemic low-grade inflammation and their gene expression profile overlaps with characteristic gene sets of NK cells in obese mice. Collectively, we demonstrate that obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic disturbances depend on IL-6/Stat3-dependent formation of distinct NK cells, which may provide a novel target for the treatment of obesity, metaflammation-associated pathologies and diabetes.

Microarray analysis of Adipose tissue of Short-term HFD-fed mice

Project description:Tissue inflammation is a key factor underlying insulin resistance in established obesity. Several models of immuno-compromised mice are protected from obesity-induced insulin resistance. However, it is unanswered whether inflammation triggers systemic insulin resistance or vice versa in obesity. The purpose of this study was to assess these questions. 8-week-old C57BL/6J male mice was treated with 60% HFD for 0 day (NCD), 3 days, and 7 days. Eipididymal fat was fractionated. Each groups have three replicates.

Inflammation causes insulin resistance via IRF3-mediated reduction in FAHFA levels

Project description:Obesity-induced inflammation metabolic dysfunction, but the mechanisms remain elusive. Here we showed that the innate immune factor IRF3 is a direct transcriptional regulator of glucose homeostasis through induction of endogenous FAHFA hydrolase Aig1 in adipocytes. Adipocyte-specific knockout IRF3 protects mice against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance, whereas overexpression of IRF3 in adipocytes promotes insulin resistance on a high-fat diet. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of AIG1 reversed obesity-induced insulin resistance and restored glucose homeostasis in the setting of adipocyte IRF3 overexpression. We therefore, identify the adipocyte IRF3/AIG1 axis as a crucial link between obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance and suggest an approach for limiting the metabolic dysfunction accompanying obesity.

The Ubiquitin Ligase Siah2 Regulates Obesity-induced Adipose Tissue Inflammation

Project description:Chronic, low-grade adipose tissue inflammation associated with adipocyte hypertrophy is an important link in the relationship between obesity and insulin resistance. Although ubiquitin ligases are essential regulators of inflammatory processes, the role of these enzymes in metabolically driven adipose tissue inflammation is relatively unexplored. In this study, we found that the ubiquitin ligase Siah2 is a central factor in obesity-related adipose tissue inflammation. When challenged with chronic excess energy intake, Siah2-null mice become obese with enlarged adipocytes, but do not develop obesity-induced insulin resistance. Proinflammatory gene expression is substantially reduced in the Siah2-null epididymal adipose tissue of the obese Siah2KO mice.

Brd4 modulates diet-induced obesity via PPARγ-dependent Gdf3 expression in adipose tissue macrophages

Project description:Macrophage-mediated inflammatory response has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance. Brd4 has emerged as a key regulator in the innate immune response. However, the role of Brd4 in obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance remains uncharacterized. Here, we demonstrated that myeloid-lineage specific Brd4 knockout (Brd4-CKO) mice were protected from high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity with less fat accumulation, higher energy expenditure, and increased lipolysis in adipose tissue. Brd4-CKO mice also displayed reduced local and systemic inflammation with improved insulin sensitivity upon HFD. RNA-sequencing of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) from HFD-fed wide-type and Brd4-CKO mice revealed that expression of antilipolytic factor Gdf3 was significantly decreased in ATMs of Brd4-CKO mice. We also found that Brd4 bound to the promoter and enhancers of Gdf3 to facilitate PPARγ-dependent Gdf3 expression in macrophages. Furthermore, Brd4-mediated expression of Gdf3 acted as a paracrine signal targeting adipocytes to suppress the expression of lipases and the associated lipolysis in cultured cells and mice. Controlling the expression of Gdf3 in ATMs could be one of the mechanisms by which Brd4 modulates lipid metabolism and diet-induced obesity. This study suggests that Brd4 could be a potential therapeutic target for obesity and insulin resistance.

IL-37 protects against obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance

Project description:Cytokines of the IL-1 family are important modulators of obesity-induced inflammation and the development of systemic insulin resistance. Here, we report that IL-37, a newly-described antiinflammatory member of the IL-1 family, affects obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. IL-37 transgenic mice (IL-37tg) did not develop an obese phenotype in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). Unlike WT mice, IL-37tg mice exhibited reduced numbers of adipose tissue macrophages and preserved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity after 16 weeks of HFD. A short-term HFD intervention revealed that the IL-37-mediated improvement in glucose tolerance is independent of bodyweight. IL-37tg mice manifested a beneficial metabolic profile with higher circulating levels of the anti-inflammatory adipokine adiponectin. In vitro treatment of differentiating adipocytes with recombinant IL-37 reduced adipogenesis. The beneficial effects of recombinant IL-37 involved activation of AMPK signaling. In humans, steady-state IL-37 adipose tissue mRNA levels were positively correlated with insulin sensitivity, lower adipose tissue levels of leptin and a lower inflammatory status of the adipose tissue. These findings reveal IL-37 as an important anti-inflammatory modulator during obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance in both mice and humans and suggest that IL-37 is a potential target for the treatment of obesity-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Gene arrays were performed on epidydimal white adipose tissue samples from wild type and human IL37-overexpressing transgenic mice fed a high fat diet for 16 weeks.

Removal of visceral adipose tissue prevents obesity-induced multi-organ insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD in mice

Project description:Obesity is associated with insulin resistance, an important risk factor of type 2 diabetes, atherogenic dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular disease. It has been postulated that accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) causes obesity-induced insulin resistance. The major purpose of this study was to test hypothesis that prophylactic VAT removal prevents the development of obesity-induced multi-organ (liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue) insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD. Accordingly, we surgically removed epididymal VAT from adult C57BL/6J mice and then evaluated in vivo and cellular metabolic pathways involved in glucose and lipid metabolism following feeding of chronic high-fat diet (HFD). We found that VAT removal prevented HFD-induced insulin resistance and markedly increased AKT-mediated insulin signaling in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), liver, and skeletal muscle. VAT removal improved plasma lipid profiling and prevented obesity-induced NAFLD. In addition, VAT removal significantly increased circulating level of adiponectin, a key insulin-sensitizing adipokine, whereas it decreased interleukin-6, a pro-inflammatory adipokine. Data obtained from RNA-sequencing suggest that VAT removal prevents obesity-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in liver and SAT respectively. These findings demonstrate the causative role of VAT in the development of obesity and related systemic metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD.

Two secreted phospholipase A2 enzymes, PLA2G5 and PLA2G2E, are induced in hypertrophic adipocytes and distinctly regulate obesity

Project description:Metabolic disorders including obesity and insulin resistance have their basis in dysregulated lipid metabolism and low-grade inflammation. In a microarray search of unique lipase-related genes whose expressions are associated with obesity, we found that two secreted phospholipase A2s (sPLA2s), PLA2G5 and PLA2G2E, were robustly induced in adipocytes of obese mice. Analyses of Pla2g5-/- and Pla2g2e-/- mice revealed distinct and previously unrecognized roles of these sPLA2s in diet-induced obesity. PLA2G5 hydrolyzed phosphatidylcholine in fat-overladen low-density lipoprotein to release unsaturated fatty acids, which prevented palmitate-induced M1 macrophage polarization. As such, PLA2G5 tipped the immune balance toward an M2 state, thereby counteracting adipose tissue inflammation, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and obesiy. PLA2G2E altered minor lipoprotein phospholipids, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and moderately facilitated lipid accumulation in adipose tissue and liver. Collectively, the identification of metabolic sPLA2s adds this gene family to a growing list of lipolytic enzymes that act as metabolic coordinators. white adipose tissues of C57BL/6 mice; two-condition experimentM-bM-^@M-^Shigh fat diet or low fat diet feeding for 18 weeks; 2 replicates, respectively

Differential lipid partitioning between adipocytes and tissue macrophages modulates macrophage lipotoxicity and M2/M1 polarization in obese mice.

Project description:Obesity-associated insulin resistance is characterized by a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation that is associated with the accumulation of M1 proinflammatory macrophages in adipose tissue. Although different evidence explains the mechanisms linking the expansion of adipose tissue and adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) polarization, in the current study we investigated the concept of lipid-induced toxicity as the pathogenic link that could explain the trigger of this response. We addressed this question using isolated ATMs and adipocytes from genetic and diet-induced murine models of obesity. Through transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis, we created a model integrating transcript and lipid species networks simultaneously occurring in adipocytes and ATMs and their reversibility by thiazolidinedione treatment. We show that polarization of ATMs is associated with lipid accumulation and the consequent formation of foam cell–like cells in adipose tissue. Our study reveals that early stages of adipose tissue expansion are characterized by M2-polarized ATMs and that progressive lipid accumulation within ATMs heralds the M1 polarization, a macrophage phenotype associated with severe obesity and insulin resistance. Furthermore, rosiglitazone treatment, which promotes redistribution of lipids toward adipocytes and extends the M2 ATM polarization state, prevents the lipid alterations associated with M1 ATM polarization. Our data indicate that the M1 ATM polarization in obesity might be a macrophage-specific manifestation of a more general lipotoxic pathogenic mechanism. This indicates that strategies to optimize fat deposition and repartitioning toward adipocytes might improve insulin sensitivity by preventing ATM lipotoxicity and M1 polarization. 15 samples; 2 genotypes and 2 time points

RNAsequencing of control and STAT3 knocked down transriptomes of EndoC cells

Project description:Most obese and insulin resistant individuals do not develop diabetes. This is the result of the capacity of β-cells to adapt and produce enough insulin to cover the needs of the organism. The underlying mechanism of β-cell adaptation in obesity, however, remains unclear. Previous studies have suggested a role for STAT3 in mediating β-cell development and human glucose homeostasis, but little is known about its role in β-cells in obesity. We observed enhanced cytoplasmatic expression of STAT3 in severe obese and diabetic subjects. To address the functional role of STAT3 in adult β-cells, we generated mice with tamoxifen-inducible partial or full deletion of STAT3 in β-cells and fed them a high fat diet before analysis. Interestingly, β-cell homozygous and heterozygous STAT3 deficient obese mice showed glucose intolerance when compared to controls. Gene expression analysis by RNA-seq showed reduced expression of mitochondrial genes in STAT3 knocked-down human EndoC-βH1 cells and was confirmed in FACS-purified β-cells from STAT3 deficient mice. Moreover, knockdown of STAT3 impaired mitochondria activity in EndoC-βH1 and human islets, suggesting a mechanism for STAT3-regulated β-cell function. We propose non-canonical STAT3 activity as a marker of β-cell identity, improving glucose induced insulin secretion in obesity.
