Project description:Alternative mRNA splicing provides transcript diversity and has been proposed to contribute to several human diseases. Here, we demonstrate that expression of genes regulating RNA processing is decreased in both liver and skeletal muscle of obese humans. To determine the metabolic impact of reduced splicing factor expression, we further evaluated the splicing factor, SFRS10, identified as down-regulated in obese human liver and skeletal muscle and in high fat fed rodents. siRNA-mediated reductions in SFRS10 expression induced lipogenesis and lipid accumulation in cultured hepatocytes. Moreover, SFRS10 heterozygous mice have both increased hepatic lipogenic gene expression and hypertriglyceridemia. We also demonstrate that LPIN1, a key regulator of lipid metabolism, is a splicing target of SFRS10, with reduced SFRS10 levels favoring the lipogenic β isoform of LPIN1. Importantly, LPIN1β-specific siRNA abolished the lipogenic effects of decreased SFRS10 expression. Together, our results indicate reduced expression of SFRS10 alters LPIN1 splicing and induces lipogenesis, demonstrating that reduced splicing factor expression observed in human tissues may contribute to metabolic phenotypes associated with human obesity. Skeletal muscle samples were obtained from 10 lean control subjects and 7 obese subjects with either IGT or DM2 undergoing elective cholecystectomy. Data for liver samples presented in the same manuscript are available at GEO GSE15653. In this analysis RNA was isolated for cRNA preparation and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays.

Project description:Minor intron retention resulting from dysregulation of minor intron splicing factors is an emerging risk factor for the metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, whether impaired expression of these splicing factors exerts critical roles in MASLD progression independent of their minor intron splicing activity remains largely undefined. Here, we show that hepatic expression of the minor intron splicing factor Zrsr1 is significantly downregulated in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), while canonical minor intron splicing remains unperturbed. Hepatic Zrsr1 overexpression effectively mitigates HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance, demonstrating that Zrsr1 expression protects MASLD progression via a minor intron splicing-independent mechanism. Notably, Zrsr1 cell-autonomously suppresses liver X receptor (LXR) activation-induced de novo lipogenesis in both hepatocyte models and mouse models. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Zrsr1 directly interacts with LXRα, and this physical interaction suppresses the transactivation of the LXRα/retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) complex, thereby inhibiting the subsequent transcription of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (Srebp1c). Collectively, these findings define a novel, splicing-independent function of the minor intron splicing factor Zrsr1 in mediating hepatic de novo lipogenesis via constraining the LXR-SREBP1c axis, which in turn mitigates MASLD progression. This work expands the functional repertoire of minor intron splicing factors beyond their classical splicing role, providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic fatty acid metabolism and MASLD pathogenesis.

Project description:Cytokine signaling has been connected to regulation of metabolism and energy balance. Numerous cytokine gene expression changes are stimulated by accumulation of bile acids in livers of young Foxa2 liver-conditional null mice. We hypothesized that bile acid-induced inflammation in young Foxa2 mutants, once chronic, affects metabolic homeostasis. We found that loss of Foxa2 in the liver results in a premature aging phenotype, including significant weight gain, reduced food intake, and decreased energy expenditure. We show that Foxa2 antagonizes the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, resulting in increased hepatic lipogenesis and adiposity. While much prior work has focused on adipose tissue in obesity, we discovered a novel age-onset obesity phenotype in a model where genetic deletion occurs only in the liver, underscoring the importance of the role hepatic lipogenesis plays in the development of obesity.

Project description:Toll-like receptors/Interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling plays an important role in High-fat diet (HFD)-induced adipose tissue dysfunction contributing to obesity-associated metabolic syndromes. Here, we show an unconventional IL-1R-IRAKM (IL-1R-associated kinase M)-Slc25a1 signaling axis in adipocytes that reprograms lipogenesis to promote diet-induced obesity. Adipocyte-specific deficiency of IRAKM reduced HFD-induced body weight gain, increased whole body energy expenditure and improved insulin resistance, associated with decreased lipid accumulation and adipocyte cell sizes. IL-1β stimulation induced the translocation of IRAKM Myddosome to mitochondria to promote de novo lipogenesis in adipocytes. Mechanistically, IRAKM interacts with and phosphorylates mitochondrial citrate carrier Slc25a1 to promote IL-1β-induced mitochondrial citrate transport to cytosol and de novo lipogenesis. Moreover, IRAKM-Slc25a1 axis mediates IL-1β induced Pgc1a acetylation to regulate thermogenic gene expression in adipocytes. IRAKM kinase-inactivation also attenuated HFD-induced obesity. Taken together, our study suggests that the IL-1R-IRAKM-Slc25a1 signaling axis tightly links inflammation and adipocyte metabolism, indicating a novel therapeutic target for obesity.

Project description:Nrg4 is a brown fat-enriched adipokine that binds to the liver and preserves metabolic homeostasis during chronic energy excess. Adipose tissue Nrg4 expression is reduced in mouse and human obesity. Nrg4 deficient mice develp more severe insulin resistance and hepatic fat accumulation upon high-fat diet feeding. We used microarrays to elucidate the metabolic pathways that are regulated by Nrg4 in the liver. Wild type and Neuregulin 4 (Nrg4) knockout mice were fed high-fat diet (Research Diets D12492) for eight weeks. Tissues were harvested under ad lib condition for RNA isolation and microarray hybridization using Affymetrix Mouse MG-430 PM Strip arrays. Three independent pools of WT and KO mouse liver RNA were included in the study.

Project description:Metabolism in mammals is regulated by the complex interplay among different organs. Fatty acid synthesis is increased in white adipose tissue (WAT) when it is inhibited in liver. Here we identify glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (Gpnmb) as one liver-WAT cross-talk factor in lipogenesis. Hepatic SREBP pathway inhibition leads to increased transcription of the Gpnmb and promotes the processing of the membrane protein to a secreted form. Gpnmb stimulates lipogenesis in WAT and exacerbates diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. In humans, Gpnmb is tightly associated with body mass index and is a strong risk factor for obesity. Gpnmb inhibition by a neutralizing antibody or liver specific knockdown improves metabolic parameters including weight gain reduction and increased insulin sensitivity, likely by promoting the beiging of WAT. These results suggest that Gpnmb is a liver-secreted factor regulating lipogenesis in WAT, and that Gpnmb inhibition may provide a therapeutic strategy for obesity and diabetes. Hepatic SREBP pathway inhibition, such as liver-specific ablation of Scap (L-Scap-/-), decreases fatty acid synthesis in liver. Meanwhile, the fatty acid synthesis in white adipose tissue of L-Scap-/- is compensatorily increased. The microarray analysis using the liver RNAs of L-Scap-/- and wild type (WT) mice is performed to identify the up-regulated genes encoding secreted factors in L-Scap-/-.

Project description:Hepatic lipogenesis is normally tightly regulated but is aberrantly elevated in obesity. Fibroblast Growth Factor-19 (FGF19, mouse FGF15) is a late fed-state gut hormone that decreases hepatic lipid levels by unclear mechanisms. We examined whether FGF15/19 and FGF15/19-activated Small Heterodimer Partner (SHP/NR0B2) have a role in transcriptional repression of lipogenesis. Comparative genomic analyses reveal that most of the SHP cistrome, including lipogenic genes repressed by FGF19, have overlapping CpG islands. FGF19 treatment or SHP overexpression in mice inhibits lipogenesis in a DNA methyltransferase-3a (DNMT3A)-dependent manner. FGF19-mediated activation of SHP via phosphorylation recruits DNMT3A to lipogenic genes, leading to DNA methylation and gene repression. In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients and obese mice, occupancy of SHP and DNMT3A and DNA methylation at lipogenic genes are low, with elevated gene expression. These results demonstrate that FGF15/19 represses hepatic lipogenesis by activating SHP and DNMT3A physiologically, which is likely dysregulated in NAFLD.

Project description:The aim of this study was to detect and functionally investigate miRNAs linked to insulin sensitivity in human subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT). Subjects were selected based on the insulin-stimulated lipogenesis response of subcutaneous adipocytes. Eleven miRNAs displayed differential expression between OIR and OIS states. Overexpression of miR-143-3p and miR-652-3p increased insulin-stimulated lipogenesis in human in vitro-differentiated adipocytes. MicroRNAs-143-3p and -652-3p are linked to scWAT insulin resistance independently of obesity.
