ABSTRACTThe role of RANKL/RANK/OPG system on bone remodeling is well known, and there is evidence that it is also important to cardiovascular and kidney pathology, although the underlying mechanisms are not elucidated so far. Thus, we investigated in a mice model of diet-induced obesity and diabetes if renal histopathological changes are associated with the expression of RANKL/RANK/OPG system and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Three months old C57BL/6 mice were fed with control (AIN93M) or high-fat high sucrose (HFHS) diets for 21 weeks (CEUA/UFF #647/15). The HFHS group showed weight gain (+35%, P=0.0001), increased epididymal, inguinal and retroperitoneal fat pad weight (+121 %, P = 0.0006; +287 %, P = 0.0007 and; +286 %, P < 0.0001, respectively), and hyperglycemia (+43%, P=0.02). The kidney of some HFHS fed mice displayed mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate (40%), perivascular fibrosis (20%), and focal tubule mineralization (20%). Glomeruli hypertrophy was not detected. Unexpectedly, OPG, RANK, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression was not altered in HFHS groups (Western blot analysis). In conclusion, the expression of RANKL/RANK/OPG system proteins and MMPs was not influenced by diet-induced obesity and diabetes in the kidney of male C57BL/6 mice, although some adverse histopathological remodeling is noticed in the renal tissue.

Recently, novel inbred mouse strains that are genetically distinct from the commonly used models have been developed from wild-caught mice. These wild-derived inbred strains have been included in many of the large-scale genomic projects, but their potential as models of altered obesity and diabetes susceptibility has not been assessed. We examined obesity and diabetes-related traits in response to high-fat feeding in two of these strains, PWD/PhJ (PWD) and WSB/EiJ (WSB), in comparison with C57BL/6J (B6). Young PWD mice displayed high fasting insulin levels, although they had normal insulin sensitivity. PWD mice subsequently developed a much milder and delayed-onset obesity compared with B6 mice but became as insulin resistant. PWD mice had a robust first-phase and increased second-phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo, rendering them more glucose tolerant. WSB mice were remarkably resistant to diet-induced obesity and maintained very low fasting insulin throughout the study. WSB mice exhibited more rapid glucose clearance in response to an insulin challenge compared with B6 mice, consistent with their low percent body fat. Interestingly, in the absence of a measurable in vivo insulin secretion, glucose tolerance of WSB mice was better than B6 mice, likely due to their enhanced insulin sensitivity. Thus PWD and WSB are two obesity-resistant strains with unique insulin secretion phenotypes. PWD mice are an interesting model that dissociates hyperinsulinemia from obesity and insulin resistance, whereas WSB mice are a model of extraordinary resistance to a high-fat diet.

Several studies highlighted that obesity and diabetes reduce immune function. However, changes in the distribution of immunoglobins (Igs), including immunoglobulin-A (IgA), that have an important function in mucosal immunity in the intestinal tract, are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impaired immune functions in the context of a diet-induced obese murine model via the assessment of the Igs in the intestinal villi. We used mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) from four to 12 or 20 weeks of age. The distributions of IgA, IgM, and IgG1 were observed by immunohistochemistry. Interestingly, we observed that IgA was immunolocalized in many cells of the lamina propria and that immunopositive cells increased in mice aged 12 to 20 weeks. Notably, mice fed HFD showed a reduced number of IgA-immunopositive cells in the intestinal villi compared to those fed standard chow. Of note, the levels of IgM and IgG1 were also reduced in HFD fed mice. These results provide insights into the impaired mucosal immune function arising from diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this study was to determine whether phenotypes associated with type 2 diabetes are altered in dyslipidemic obese mice. C57BL/6 wild-type, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient (LDLR−/−), and apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE−/−) mice were fed a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet (diabetogenic diet), and the development of obesity, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia was examined. Wild-type mice became obese and developed hyperglycemia, but not hypertriglyceridemia, in response to this diet. LDLR−/− mice fed the diabetogenic diet became more obese than wild-type mice and developed severe hypertriglyceridemia and hyperleptinemia. Surprisingly, glucose levels were only modestly higher and insulin levels and insulin-to-glucose ratios were not strikingly different from those of wild-type mice. In contrast, diabetogenic diet-fed apoE−/− mice were resistant to changes in glucose and lipid homeostasis despite becoming obese. These data suggest that modifications in lipoprotein profiles associated with loss of the LDL receptor or apoE function have profound and unique consequences on susceptibility to diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetic phenotypes.

Abstract Objective High-fat diet (HFD) increases the risk of inflammatory reaction and acute arterial thrombosis. Celastrol has been confirmed to regulate inflammatory cytokine levels in atherosclerotic animal models. However, the anti-thrombotic effects of celastrol have remained to be fully demonstrated. The present study was performed to investigate the beneficial effect of celastrol in HFD-induced inflammatory reaction and thrombosis in apolipoprotein (apo)E-/- mice. Materials and Methods Thrombogenic mice model was established using HFD-fed apoE-/- mice. The levels of mRNA and protein were assayed by RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed to measure the protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in the aortic endothelium of HFD-fed apoE-/- mice. Results The results demonstrated that the effect of HFD on inflammatory cytokines in mice with apoE-/- background was reversed by celastrol administration, and celastrol treatment inhibited the NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3)/caspase-1/interleukin-1β signaling cascades in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HFD-fed apoE-/- mice. In addition, HFD enhanced adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation in normal C57BL/6 and apoE-/- mice, while celastrol administration reversed this. Furthermore, celastrol inhibited the pro-thrombotic effects of HFD in apoE-/- mice, and the underlying mechanism was mediated, at least partially, through the suppression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 expression. Conclusions Celastrol administration significantly attenuated HFD-induced inflammatory reaction, platelet aggregation and thrombosis in apoE-/- mice, and celastrol may be used as a drug for the prevention of HFD-induced inflammatory reaction and thrombus.

Leptin, a polypeptide hormone produced mainly by adipocytes, has diverse effects in both the brain and peripheral organs, including suppression of feeding. Other than mediating leptin transport across the blood-brain barrier, the role of the endothelial leptin receptor remains unclear. We recently generated a mutant mouse strain lacking endothelial leptin receptor signaling, and showed that there is an increased uptake of leptin by brain parenchyma after its delivery by in situ brain perfusion. Here, we tested the hypothesis that endothelial leptin receptor mutation confers partial resistance to diet-induced obesity. These ELKO mice had similar body weight and percent fat as their wild-type littermates when fed with rodent chow, but blood concentrations of leptin were significantly elevated. In response to a high-fat diet, wild-type mice had a greater gain of body weight and fat than ELKO mice. As shown by metabolic chamber measurement, the ELKO mice had higher oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and heat dissipation, although food intake was similar to that of the wild-type mice and locomotor activity was even reduced. This indicates that the partial resistance to diet-induced obesity was mediated by higher metabolic activity in the ELKO mice. Since neuronal leptin receptor knockout mice show obesity and diabetes, the results suggest that endothelial leptin signaling shows opposite effects from that of neuronal leptin signaling, with a facilitatory role in diet-induced obesity.
