Project description:Acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP), encoded by the diazepam binding protein (DBI) gene, plays a pivotal role in stimulating appetite and lipo-anabolic reactions, showing correlations with laboratory indications of metabolic syndrome in ostensibly healthy individuals. In a screening effort targeting inhibitors of ACBP/DBI expression among distinct neuroendocrine factors, we discovered that glucocorticoids induce ACBP/DBI secretion in cultured cells. In mouse models of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome, antibody-mediated neutralization of ACBP/DBI prevented the metabolic consequences of prolonged glucocorticoid administration. Our findings suggest that a surge in extracellular ACBP/DBI may mediate crucial aspects of Cushing syndrome.

Project description:The plasma concentrations of acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP, also known as diazepam-binding inhibitor, DBI, or ‘endozepine’) increase with age and obesity, two parameters that are also the most important risk factors for cancer. In mice bearing MCA205 fibrosarcoma, antibody mediated ACBP/DBI neutralization enhanced the anticancer T-cell response in the context of chemoimmunotherapy. T-cells infiltrating MCA205 tumors were sorted and submitting to single-cell TCR sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to identify the mechanisms driving this improvement.

Project description:The tissue hormone acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP, encoded by the gene diazepam binding inhibitor, DBI) has been involved in various facets of pathological aging. Here, we show that ACBP plasma concentrations are elevated in (close-to-)centenarians commensurate with their health deterioration, correlating with a reduced glomerular filtration rate and a surge in senescence-associated cytokines. In a mouse model of chronic kidney injury by cisplatin, we observed that ACBP neutralization by means of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) prevented histopathological and functional signs of organ failure. ACBP inhibition also prevented the senescence of tubular epithelial cells and glomerular podocytes induced by cisplatin or doxorubicin, respectively, as measurable by the immunohistochemical detection of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A, best known as p21). Senescence was also blocked by anti-ACBP mAb in additional mouse models of accelerated aging. This applies to liver damage induced by a combination of high-fat diet and carbon tetrachloride, where hepatocytes become senescent. In addition, administration of anti-ACBP mAb prevented natural and doxorubicin-accelerated cardiomyocyte senescence. We performed single nucleus RNA sequencing to study the transcriptome of hearts that had been exposed to doxorubicin and/or anti-ACBP in vivo. In cardiomyocytes, doxorubicin caused the anti-ACBP-reversible dyregulation of mRNAs coding for cardioprotective proteins involved in autophagy, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial homeostasis and oxidative phosphorylation. Altogether, these findings plead in favor of a broad antiaging effect of ACBP neutralization across different organ systems.

Project description:The ACBP knockout were created by targeted disruption of the gene in mice. The expression profiling was performed on liver tissue from ACBP-/- (KO) and +/+ (WT) mice at the age of 21 days, which in our study is the time immediately before weaning. The mice used for this experiment were taken directly away from their mother. Thus, having free access to chow and breast milk until sacrificed at 8-11am 15 ACBP-/- and 15 +/+ control mice divided into 6 groups (KO1, KO2, KO3, WT1, WT2 and WT3) with 5 individuals in each group were used for this study.

Project description:Floodings already have a nearly 60% share in the worldwide damage to crops provoked by natural disasters. Climate change will cause plants to be even more frequently exposed to oxygen limiting conditions (hypoxia) in the near future due to heavy precipitation and concomitant waterlogging or flooding events in large areas of the world. Although the homeostatic regulation of adaptive responses to low oxygen stress in plants is well described, it remained unknown by which initial trigger the molecular response to low-oxygen stress is activated. Here, we show that a hypoxia-induced decline of the ATP level of the cell reduces LONG-CHAIN ACYL-COA SYNTHETASE (LACS) activity, which leads to a shift in the composition of the acyl-CoA pool. High oleoyl-CoA levels release the transcription factor RELATED TO APETALA 2.12 (RAP2.12) from its interaction partner ACYL-COA BINDING PROTEIN (ACBP) at the plasma membrane to induce low oxygen-specific gene expression. We show that different acyl-CoAs provoke unique molecular responses revealing a novel role as cellular signalling component also in plants. In terms of hypoxia signalling, dynamic acyl-CoA levels integrate the cellular energy status into the oxygen signalling cascade with ACBP and RAP2.12 being the central hub. The conserved nature of the ACBP:RAP2.12 module in crops and the novel mechanistic understanding of how low-oxygen stress responses are initiated by oleoyl-CoA in plants provide useful leads for enhancing future food security.

Project description:The defective activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is linked to obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. While there is extensive knowledge about the biological signals that trigger BAT thermogenesis, information regarding active repressors that may contribute to the pathological impairment of BAT function is quite limited. Acyl CoA-Binding Protein (ACBP), also known as Diazepam Binding Inhibitor (DBI), is a protein with intracellular functions related to lipid metabolism. It can also be secreted and act as a circulating regulatory factor that affects multiple tissues and organs. We discovered that ACBP expression and release in BAT are suppressed by noradrenergic, cAMP-dependent signals that stimulate thermogenesis. This regulation occurs through mechanisms involving gene expression and autophagy-related processes. Mice with targeted ablation of the Acbp gene in brown adipocytes exhibit enhanced BAT thermogenic activity and protection against obesity and glucose intolerance induced by a high-fat diet. This is associated with a remodeling of the BAT transcriptome, characterized by the induction of genes related to BAT thermogenesis. Treatment of brown adipocytes with exogenous ACBP suppressed oxidative activity, lipolysis, and the expression of genes associated with thermogenesis. ACBP inhibits the noradrenergic-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase and CREB, major intracellular mediators of brown adipocyte thermogenesis. Our findings identify the ACBP system as a crucial auto-regulatory repressor of BAT thermogenesis, which responds reciprocally to the noradrenergic induction of BAT activity.

Project description:G-quadruplex structure (G4) is a type of DNA secondary structure that widely exists in the genomes of many organisms. G4s are believed to participate in multiple biological processes. Acyl- CoA binding protein (ACBP), a ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved protein in eukaryotic cells, plays important roles in lipid metabolism by transporting and protecting acyl-CoA esters. Here, we report the functional identification of a G4 in the promoter of the ACBP gene in silkworm and human cancer cells. We found that G4 exists as a conserved element in the promoters of ACBP genes in invertebrates and vertebrates. The BmACBP G4 bound with G4-binding protein LARK regulated BmACBP transcription, which was blocked by the G4 stabilizer pyridostatin (PDS) and G4 antisense oligonucleotides. PDS treatment with 5 th instar silkworm larvae decreased the BmACBP expression and triacylglycerides (TAG) level, resulting in reductions in fat body mass, body size and weight and growth and metamorphic rates. PDS treatment and knocking out of the HsACBP G4 in human hepatic adenocarcinoma HepG2 cells inhibited the expression of HsACBP and decreased the TAG level and cell proliferation. Altogether, our findings suggest that G4 of the ACBP genes is involved in regulation of lipid metabolism processes in invertebrates and vertebrates.

Project description:Cushing's syndrome is caused by an elevation of endogenous or pharmacologically administered glucocorticoids. Acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP, encoded by the gene diazepam binding inhibitor, Dbi) stimulates food intake and lipo-anabolic reactions. Here we found that plasma ACBP/DBI concentrations were elevated in patients and mice with Cushing's syndrome. We used several methods for ACBP/DBI inhibition in mice, namely, (1) induction of ACBP/DBI autoantibodies, (2) injection of a neutralizing monoclonal antibody, (3) body-wide or hepatocyte-specific knockout of the Dbi gene, (4) mutation of the ACBP/DBI receptor Gabrg2 and (5) injections of triiodothyronine or (6) the thyroid hormone receptor-β agonist resmetirom to block Dbi transcription. These six approaches abolished manifestations of Cushing's syndrome such as increased food intake, weight gain, excessive adiposity, liver damage, hypertriglyceridaemia and type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, it appears that ACBP/DBI constitutes an actionable target that is causally involved in the development of Cushing's syndrome.

Project description:Acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP), also known as diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) is a multifunctional protein with an intracellular action (as ACBP), as well as with an extracellular role (as DBI). The plasma levels of soluble ACBP/DBI are elevated in human obesity and reduced in anorexia nervosa. Accumulating evidence indicates that genetic or antibody-mediated neutralization of ACBP/DBI has anorexigenic effects, thus inhibiting food intake and inducing lipo-catabolic reactions in mice. A number of anorexiants have been withdrawn from clinical development because of their side effects including an increase in depression and suicide. For this reason, we investigated the psychiatric impact of ACBP/DBI in mouse models and patient cohorts. Intravenously (i.v.) injected ACBP/DBI protein conserved its orexigenic function when the protein was mutated to abolish acyl coenzyme A binding, but lost its appetite-stimulatory effect in mice bearing a mutation in the γ2 subunit of the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor (GABAAR). ACBP/DBI neutralization by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of a specific mAb blunted excessive food intake in starved and leptin-deficient mice, but not in ghrelin-treated animals. Neither i.v. nor i.p. injected anti-ACBP/DBI antibody affected the behavior of mice in the dark-light box and open-field test. In contrast, ACBP/DBI increased immobility in the forced swim test, while anti-ACBP/DBI antibody counteracted this sign of depression. In patients diagnosed with therapy-resistant bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, ACBP/DBI similarly correlated with body mass index (BMI), not with the psychiatric diagnosis. Patients with high levels of ACBP/DBI were at risk of dyslipidemia and this effect was independent from BMI, as indicated by multivariate analysis. In summary, it appears that ACBP/DBI neutralization has no negative impact on mood and that human depression is not associated with alterations in ACBP/DBI concentrations.
