Abstract Obesity and body fat distribution are important risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Evidence has accumulated that this risk is related to intrinsic differences in behavior of adipocytes in different fat depots. We recently identified LIM domain only 3 (LMO3) in human mature visceral adipocytes; however, its function in these cells is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the potential involvement of LMO3-dependent pathways in the modulation of key functions of mature adipocytes during obesity. Based on a recently engineered hybrid rAAV serotype Rec2 shown to efficiently transduce both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT), we delivered YFP or Lmo3 to epididymal WAT (eWAT) of C57Bl6/J mice on a high-fat diet (HFD). The effects of eWAT transduction on metabolic parameters were evaluated 10 weeks later. To further define the role of LMO3 in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, insulin signaling, adipocyte bioenergetics, as well as endocrine function, experiments were conducted in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and newly differentiated human primary mature adipocytes, engineered for transient gain or loss of LMO3 expression, respectively. AAV transduction of eWAT results in strong and stable Lmo3 expression specifically in the adipocyte fraction over a course of 10 weeks with HFD feeding. LMO3 expression in eWAT significantly improved insulin sensitivity and healthy visceral adipose tissue expansion in diet-induced obesity, paralleled by increased serum adiponectin. In vitro, LMO3 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased PPARγ transcriptional activity, insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake, as well as mitochondrial oxidative capacity in addition to fatty acid oxidation. Mechanistically, LMO3 induced the PPARγ coregulator Ncoa1, which was required for LMO3 to enhance glucose uptake and mitochondrial oxidative gene expression. In human mature adipocytes, LMO3 overexpression promoted, while silencing of LMO3 suppressed mitochondrial oxidative capacity. LMO3 expression in visceral adipose tissue regulates multiple genes that preserve adipose tissue functionality during obesity, such as glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and adiponectin secretion. Together with increased PPARγ activity and Ncoa1 expression, these gene expression changes promote insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation, glucose uptake in addition to increased mitochondrial oxidative capacity, limiting HFD-induced adipose dysfunction. These data add LMO3 as a novel regulator improving visceral adipose tissue function during obesity. Key messages LMO3 increases beneficial visceral adipose tissue expansion and insulin sensitivity in vivo. LMO3 increases glucose uptake and oxidative mitochondrial activity in adipocytes. LMO3 increases nuclear coactivator 1 (Ncoa1). LMO3-enhanced glucose uptake and mitochondrial gene expression requires Ncoa1.

Abstract Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes simple steatosis (SS) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It affects 74–98% of individuals with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery (BSX). Among several factors contributing to NAFLD pathogenesis, adipokines secreted by visceral adipose tissue (VAT) can play a role by regulating glucose/lipid metabolism and inflammation. Aims This study aims to determine if visceral adipose tissue adipokine and cytokine gene expression are associated with NAFLD (SS and NASH) at the time of BSX. Methods Patients were recruited from the Toronto Western Hospital Bariatric Clinic. Demographic data was recorded. The VAT and liver biopsies were collected at the time of bariatric surgery. VAT adipokines and other mediators were assessed by RT-PCR and included markers of thermogenic capacity, inflammation, fibrosis, adipokines, and others. Liver histology was assessed by a pathologist using the Brunt system and individuals were diagnosed as either SS, NASH, or having a healthy liver (HL). Blood samples were collected pre-BSX to measure liver and metabolic syndrome related parameters, including HOMA-IR, HbA1c, liver enzymes, and lipid profile. Anthropometry was also assessed. Groups were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Wilcoxon ranked sum, or chi-square and Fisher’s exact test as necessary. Data was considered to be statistically significant with a p-value less than 0.05. Results We are presenting data on 126 patients, 80.2% females with a median age of 49 and a body mass index (BMI) of 46.9. Fifty-seven patients had SS, 34 had NASH and 35 had a healthy liver (HL). BMI, age, and sex did not differ between the three groups. First, we found that those with NASH had significantly higher VAT expression of fibrosis (Loxl2), inflammation (CCL4 and TGFb1) and proliferation markers (E2F1) and significantly lower expression of adipokines (TNFa and resistin) compared to HL. Also, we found that SS had significantly higher fibrosis (Col3a1, Col6a1, Loxl2, CD9 and Acta2), inflammation (Nox2, TGFb1, IFNg and Clec10a), browning (PPARa, PPARg and Glut1) and proliferation (E2F1) marker expression compared to HL. Conclusions Results show that there is a significant difference in the expression pattern of VAT fibrotic and inflammatory markers between HL, SS and NASH patients. The observed increase of inflammatory markers in NAFLD is in line with prior research outlining the ability of inflammatory mediators from VAT to contribute to liver pathology via portal circulation. The relationship between VAT characteristics and NAFLD are important in understanding the widespread metabolic effects of obesity. Funding Agencies CIHRCanadian Liver foundation

AbstractWhile prolonged fasting induces significant metabolic changes in humans and mice, less is known about systems-wide metabolic changes in response to short-term feed deprivation, which is used in experimental animal studies prior to metabolic challenge tests. We here performed a systems biology-based investigation of connections between gut bacterial composition and function, inflammatory and metabolic parameters in the intestine, liver, visceral adipose tissue, blood and urine in high-fat fed, obese mice that were feed deprived up to 12 h. The systems-wide analysis revealed that feed deprivation linked to enhanced intestinal butyric acid production and expression of the gene encoding the pro-thermogenic uncoupling protein UCP1 in visceral adipose tissue of obese mice. Ucp1 expression was also positively associated with Il33 expression in ileum, colon and adipose tissue as well as with the abundance of colonic Porphyromonadaceae, the latter also correlating to cecal butyric acid levels. Collectively, the data highlighted presence of a multi-tiered system of inter-tissue communication involving intestinal, immune and metabolic functions which is affected by feed deprivation in obese mice, thus pointing to careful use of short-feed deprivation in metabolic studies using obese mice.

SummaryHigh plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity is a frequent finding in obesity and adipose tissue has recently been suggested to be a source of circulating PAI-1 in humans. In the present study, differences in adipose tissue gene expression and protein secretion rate of PAI-1 between subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue was analysed in specimens obtained from 22 obese individuals. The secretion rate of PAI-1 was two-fold higher in subcutaneous adipose tissue than in visceral adipose tissue (292 ± 50 vs 138 ± 24 ng PAI-1/107 cells, P <0.05). In accordance with the secretion data, subcutaneous adipose tissue contained about three-fold higher levels of PAI-1 mRNA than visceral adipose tissue (2.43 ± 0.37 vs 0.81 ± 0.12 attomole PAI-1 mRNA/µg total RNA, P <0.001). PAI-1 secretion from subcutaneous but not from visceral adipose tissue correlated significantly with cell size (r = 0.43, P <0.05). In summary, subcutaneous adipose tissue secreted greater amounts of PAI-1 and had a higher PAI-1 gene expression than visceral adipose tissue from the same obese individuals. Bearing in mind that subcutaneous adipose tissue is the largest fat depot these finding may be important for the coagulation abnormalities associated with obesity.

Context: The inflammatory state of the adipose tissue is believed to contribute to systemic low-grade inflammation in obesity. Objective: This study assessed the relationship between adipose and circulating inflammatory markers as well as the influence of adipose inflammation on bariatric surgery-induced weight reduction. Design: This was a cross-sectional and longitudinal study (up to 14 mo). Setting: The study was conducted in the digestive/bariatric surgery department of the Tivoli and Jean Villar clinics, Bordeaux, France. Patients: Thirty-seven obese patients [body mass index (BMI) &gt; 35–40 kg/m2)] seeking bariatric surgery were included. Twenty-eight of them were successively followed up at 1–3 months after surgery and 25 between 6 and 14 months after surgery. Main Outcome Measures: Fasting serum samples were collected before surgery to assess concentrations of inflammatory markers. Samples of visceral adipose tissue were extracted during surgery and gene expression of cytokines and immune cell markers were evaluated using quantitative RT-PCR. Pre- and postsurgery weight and BMI were collected. Results: Gene expression of several cytokines were strongly intercorrelated in the visceral adipose tissue. Adipose expression of macrophage and T cell markers were related to adipose expression of TNF-α and IL-1 receptor antagonist (P &lt; .01) and to systemic levels of TNF-α (P &lt; .01) and IL-6 (P &lt; .05). A higher inflammatory state of the adipose tissue predicted a lower BMI reduction after surgery (P &lt; .05), notably at early stages after surgery. Conclusions: These findings support the involvement of macrophages and T cells in adipose inflammation and provide new information regarding the role of the visceral adipose tissue in the inflammatory state of obesity and its impact on obesity treatment outcomes, such as surgery-induced weight loss.
