Background/Aims: salusin-ß is considered to be a potential pro-atherosclerotic factor. Regulation and function of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are important in the progression of atherosclerosis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) exerts a vascular protective role beyond its metabolic effects. Salusin-ß has direct effects on VSMCs. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of salusin-ß on PPARγ gene expression in primary cultured rat VSMCs. Methods: Western blotting analysis, real-time PCR and transient transfection approach were used to determine expression of target proteins. Specific protein knockdown was performed with siRNA transfection. Cell proliferation was determined by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation. The levels of inflammation indicators interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Salusin-ß negatively regulated PPARγ gene expression at protein, mRNA and gene promoter level in VSMCs. The inhibitory effect of salusin-ß on PPARγ gene expression contributed to salusin-ß-induced VSMCs proliferation and inflammation in vitro. IγBa-NF-γB activation, but not NF-γB p50 or p65, mediated the salusin-ß-induced inhibition of PPARγ gene expression. Salusin-ß induced nuclear translocation of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). HDAC3 siRNA prevented salusin-ß-induced PPARγ reduction. Nuclear translocation of HDAC3 in response to salusin-ß was significantly reversed by an IγBa inhibitor BAY 11-7085. Furthermore, IγBa-HDAC3 complex was present in the cytosol of VSMCs but interrupted after salusin-ß treatment. Conclusion: IγBa-HDAC3 pathway may contribute to salusin-ß-induced inhibition of PPARγ gene expression in VSMCs.

CYP4A11 transgenic mice (CYP4A11 Tg) were generated to examine in vivo regulation of the human CYP4A11 gene. Expression of CYP4A11 in mice yields liver and kidney P450 4A11 levels similar to those found in the corresponding human tissues and leads to an increased microsomal capacity for ω-hydroxylation of lauric acid. Fasted CYP4A11 Tg mice exhibit 2–3-fold increases in hepatic CYP4A11 mRNA and protein, and this response is absent in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) null mice. Dietary administration of either of the PPARα agonists, fenofibrate or clofibric acid, increases hepatic and renal CYP4A11 levels by 2–3-fold, and these responses were also abrogated in PPARα null mice. Basal liver CYP4A11 levels are reduced differentially in PPARα−/− females (>95%) and males (<50%) compared with PPARα−/+ mice. Quantitative and temporal differences in growth hormone secretion are known to alter hepatic lipid metabolism and to underlie sexually dimorphic gene expression, respectively. Continuous infusion of low levels of growth hormone reduced CYP4A11 expression by 50% in PPARα-proficient male and female transgenic mice. A larger decrease was observed for the expression of CYP4A11 in PPARα−/− CYP4A11 Tg male mice to levels similar to that of female PPARα-deficient mice. These results suggest that PPARα contributes to the maintenance of basal CYP4A11 expression and mediates CYP4A11 induction in response to fibrates or fasting. In contrast, increased exposure to growth hormone down-regulates CYP4A11 expression in liver.

The complex molecular networks underpinning DCM remain poorly understood. To study distinct pathways and networks in the longitudinal development of DCM we performed RNAseq on LV tissue from mice carrying a human DCM mutation in phospholamban (PLN R9C/+ ) before phenotype onset (pre-DCM), with DCM, and during overt heart failure (HF), and also on isolated myocytes and non-myocytes from DCM hearts. PLN R9C/+ mice show progressive fibrosis (20% vs. 1% control, p=6x10 −33 ; n=3) associated with proliferation of cardiac non-myocytes (33% increase over control, p=6x10 −4 ; n=3). Consistent with this, cardiac non-myocytes have upregulated gene expression and pathways, while these are generally downregulated in myocytes. Non-myocytes were enriched in fibrosis, inflammation, and cell remodeling pathways, from pre-DCM to HF. In contrast, myocytes were enriched for metabolic pathways only with overt DCM and HF. Myocytes showed profound derangement of oxidative phosphorylation with DCM (p=2.5x10 −41 ; 44% (53/120) of pathway genes downregulated), suggesting mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, we detected probable inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling by diminished expression of pathway genes (Figure). DCM and hypertrophic remodeling was compared using RNAseq of a mouse model of HCM; similar patterns of fibrosis with myocyte metabolic dysregulation were evident despite unique differential gene expression patterns between models. DCM caused by PLN R9C/+ is associated with early non-myocyte proliferation and later myocyte metabolic derangement possibly governed by altered PPAR signaling, and is common to DCM and HCM.

BackgroundOrbital inflammatory disease (OID) encompasses a wide range of pathology including thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), sarcoidosis and non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI), accounting for up to 6% of orbital diseases. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of OID can improve diagnosis and help target therapy.AimsTo test the hypothesis that shared signalling pathways are activated in different forms of OID.MethodsIn this secondary analysis, pathway analysis was performed on the previously reported differentially expressed genes from orbital adipose tissue using patients with OID and healthy controls who were characterised by microarray. For the original publications, tissue specimens were collected from oculoplastic surgeons at 10 international centres representing four countries (USA, Canada, Australia and Saudi Arabia). Diagnoses were independently confirmed by two masked ocular pathologists (DJW, HEG). Gene expression profiling analysis was performed at the Oregon Health & Science University. Eighty-three participants were included: 25 with TAO, 6 with orbital GPA, 7 with orbital sarcoidosis, 25 with NSOI and 20 healthy controls.ResultsAmong the 83 subjects (mean (SD) age, 52.8 (18.3) years; 70% (n=58) female), those with OID demonstrated perturbation of the downstream gene expressions of the IGF-1R (MAPK/RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), adipocytokine and AMPK signalling pathways compared with healthy controls. Specifically, GPA samples differed from controls in gene expression within the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R, PI3K-Akt (p=0.001), RAS (p=0.005)), PPARγ (p=0.002), adipocytokine (p=0.004) or AMPK (p=<0.001) pathways. TAO, sarcoidosis and NSOI samples were also found to have statistically significant differential gene expression in these pathways.ConclusionsAlthough OID includes a heterogenous group of pathologies, TAO, GPA, sarcoidosis and NSOI share enrichment of common gene signalling pathways, namely IGF-1R, PPARγ, adipocytokine and AMPK. Pathway analyses of gene expression suggest that other forms of orbital inflammation in addition to TAO may benefit from blockade of IGF-1R signalling pathways.

Gene expression was measured during t10c12-CLA-induced body fat reduction in a polygenic obese line of mice. Adult mice ( n = 185) were allotted to a 2 × 2 factorial experiment consisting of either nonobese (ICR-control) or obese (M16-selected) mice fed a 7% fat, purified diet containing either 1% linoleic acid (LA) or 1% t10c12-CLA. Body weight (BW) by day 14 was 12% lower in CLA- compared with LA-fed mice ( P < 0.0001). By day 14, t10c12-CLA reduced weights of epididymal, mesenteric, and brown adipose tissues, as a percentage of BW, in both lines by 30, 27, and 58%, respectively, and increased liver weight/BW by 34% ( P < 0.0001). Total RNA was isolated and pooled (4 pools per tissue per day) from epididymal adipose ( days 5 and 14) of the obese mice to analyze gene expression profiles using Agilent mouse oligo microarray slides representing >20,000 genes. Numbers of genes differentially expressed by greater than or equal to twofold in epididymal adipose ( days 5 and 14) were 29 and 125, respectively. It was concluded that, in adipose tissue, CLA increased expression of uncoupling proteins (1 and 2), carnitine palmitoyltransferase system, tumor necrosis factor-α ( P < 0.05), and caspase-3 but decreased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, glucose transporter-4, perilipin, caveolin-1, adiponectin, resistin, and Bcl-2 ( P < 0.01). In conclusion, this experiment has revealed candidate genes that will be useful in elucidating mechanisms of adipose delipidation.
