Project description:Obesity, a major healthcare issue, is characterized by metabolic abnormalities in multiple tissues, including the skeletal muscle. Although dysregulation of skeletal muscle metabolism can strongly influence the homeostasis of systemic energy, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We found promoter hypermethylation and decreased gene expression of fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF6) in the skeletal muscle of individuals with obesity using high-throughput sequencing. Reduced binding of the cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein-1 (CREB1) to the hypermethylated cyclic AMP (cAMP) response element, which is a regulatory element upstream of the transcription initiation site, partially contributed to the downregulation of FGF6 in patients with obesity. Overexpression of Fgf6 in mice skeletal muscle stimulated protein synthesis, activating the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, and prevented the increase in weight and the development of insulin resistance in high-fat diet-fed mice. Thus, our findings highlight the role played by Fgf6 in regulating skeletal muscle hypertrophy and whole-body metabolism, indicating its potential in strategies aimed at preventing and treating metabolic diseases.

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.

Project description:Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is a prominent early feature in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In attempt to overcome this defect, we generated mice overexpressing insulin receptors (IR) specifically in skeletal muscle (IRMOE). On normal chow, IRMOE mice have similar body weight as controls, but an increase in lean mass and glycolytic muscle fibers and reduced fat mass. IRMOE mice also show higher basal phosphorylation of IR, IRS-1 and Akt in muscle and improved glucose tolerance compared to controls. When challenged with high fat diet (HFD), IRMOE mice are protected from diet-induced obesity. This is associated with reduced inflammation in fat and liver, improved glucose tolerance and improved systemic insulin sensitivity. Surprisingly, however, in both chow and HFD-fed mice, insulin stimulated Akt phosphorylation is significantly reduced in muscle of IRMOE mice, indicating post-receptor insulin resistance. RNA sequencing reveals downregulation of several post-receptor signaling proteins that contribute to this resistance. Thus, enhancing early insulin signaling in muscle by overexpression of the insulin receptor protects mice from diet-induced obesity and its effects on glucose metabolism. However, chronic overstimulation of this pathway leads to post-receptor desensitization, indicating the critical balance between normal signaling and hyperstimulation of the insulin signaling pathway.

Project description:Insulin resistance is the hallmark of obese and type 2 diabetes patients. Defective insulin sensitivity in the liver results in increased glucsoe production, which is the major cause of hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. Increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leakage from the gut of diet-induced obesity causes insulin resisitance; moreover, activation of deacetylase Sirtuin1 restore insulin sensitivity in obesity. However, the mechanism resulting in insulin resistance by LPS remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Ep300 (P300) harboring an intrinsic acetyltransferase activity was rapidly induced in the liver of animals fed a high-fat diet, and the induction of Ep300 is through LPS-stimulated activation of ER stress. Induced Ep300 impairs insulin signaling by acetylating mediators in insulin signaling. Inhibition of P300 acetyltransferase activity improves insulin signaling. Thus, Ep300 acetyltransferase activity is a therapeutic target.

Project description:We screened intronic microRNAs dysregulated in liver of obese mouse models to identify previously uncharacterized coding host genes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our approach identified the expression of Ectodysplasin A (Eda), the causal gene of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED; MIM 305100) was strongly increased in liver of obese mouse models both in rodents and humans.Eda expression in murine liver is controlled via PPARγ activation, increases in circulation and promotes JNK activation and inhibitory serine phosphorylation of IRS1 in skeletal muscle. Consistently, bi-directional modulation of hepatic Eda expression in mouse models affects systemic glucose metabolism with alterations of muscle insulin signaling, revealing a novel role of EDA as an obesity-associated hepatokine, which impairs insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle.

Project description:Obesity-induced inflammation is a major driving force in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related metabolic disorders. During obesity, macrophages accumulate in the visceral adipose tissue, creating a low grade inflammatory environment through the production of inflammatory cytokines. NF-κB signaling is a central coordinator of these inflammatory responses and is tightly regulated by the anti-inflammatory protein A20. To understand the role of inflammatory macrophages in insulin resistance and T2D development, we fed myeloid-specific A20 deficient mice (A20myel-KO mice) with a high fat diet, and demonstrate that these mice are completely protected from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance, despite an inflammatory environment in their metabolic tissues. Macrophages lacking A20 show impaired mitochondrial respiratory function and metabolize more palmitate both in vitro and in vivo. Given the increased macrophage numbers in A20myel-KO mice, we hypothesize that A20 deficient macrophages rely more on palmitate oxidation and metabolize the fat present in the diet, resulting in a lean phenotype and protection from metabolic disease. These findings reveal an unexpected role for A20 in regulating macrophage immunometabolism.

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.
