Obesity is a global health issue associated with insulin resistance and altered lipid homeostasis. It has been described that reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) activity are involved in the development of these pathologies. The present study describes the role of endothelial NOX5 expression over adipose tissue by using two experimental systems: NOX5 conditional knock-in mice fed with a high-fat diet and 3T3-L1 adipocytes cultured with conditioned media of NOX5-expressing endothelial cells previously treated with glucose and palmitic acid. Animals expressing NOX5 presented lower body weight gain and less mesenteric and epididymal adipose mass compared to control mice fed with the same diet. NOX5-expressing mice also showed significantly lower glycaemia and improved insulin-induced glucose uptake. In addition, Glut4 and Caveolin 1 (Cav1) expression were significantly increased in the adipose tissue of these animals. Likewise, 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with conditioned media from NOX5-expressing endothelial cells, incubated with high glucose and palmitic acid, presented a reduction in lipid accumulation and an increase in glucose uptake. Moreover, a significant increase in the expression of Glut4 and Cav1 was also detected in these cells. Taken together, all these data support that, in response to a highly caloric diet, NOX5 endothelial activity may regulate glucose sensitivity and lipid homeostasis in the adipose tissue.

Obesity is a global health issue associated with the development of metabolic syndrome, which correlates with insulin resistance, altered lipid homeostasis, and other pathologies. One of the mechanisms involved in the development of these pathologies is the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). One of the main producers of ROS is the family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases, among which NOX5 is the most recently discovered member. The aim of the present work is to describe the effect of endothelial NOX5 expression on neighboring adipose tissue in obesity conditions by using two systems. An in vivo model based on NOX5 conditional knock-in mice fed with a high-fat diet and an in vitro model developed with 3T3-L1 adipocytes cultured with conditioned media of endothelial NOX5-expressing bEnd.3 cells, previously treated with glucose and palmitic acid. Endothelial NOX5 expression promoted the expression and activation of specific markers of thermogenesis and lipolysis in the mesenteric and epididymal fat of those mice fed with a high-fat diet. Additionally, the activation of these processes was derived from an increase in IL-6 production as a result of NOX5 activity. Accordingly, 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with conditioned media of endothelial NOX5-expressing cells, presented higher expression of thermogenic and lipolytic genes. Moreover, endothelial NOX5-expressing bEnd.3 cells previously treated with glucose and palmitic acid also showed interleukin (IL-6) production. Finally, it seems that the increase in IL-6 stimulated the activation of markers of thermogenesis and lipolysis through phosphorylation of STAT3 and AMPK, respectively. In conclusion, in response to obesogenic conditions, endothelial NOX5 activity could promote thermogenesis and lipolysis in the adipose tissue by regulating IL-6 production.

Neutrophils accumulate in insulin sensitive tissues during obesity and may play a role in impairing insulin sensitivity. The major serine protease expressed by neutrophils is neutrophil elastase (NE), which is inhibited endogenously by α1-antitrypsin A (A1AT). We investigated the effect of exogenous (A1AT) treatment on diet induced metabolic dysfunction. Male C57Bl/6j mice fed a chow or a high fat diet (HFD) were randomized to receive 3x weekly i.p injections of either Prolastin (human A1AT; 2mg) or vehicle (PBS) for 10 weeks. Prolastin treatment did not affect plasma NE concentration, body weight, glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity in chow fed mice. In contrast, Prolastin treatment attenuated HFD induced increases in plasma and white adipose tissue (WAT) NE without affecting circulatory neutrophil levels or increases in body weight. Prolastin-treated mice fed a HFD had improved insulin sensitivity, as assessed by insulin tolerance test, and this was associated with higher insulin-dependent IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate) and AktSer473phosphorylation, and reduced inflammation markers in WAT but not liver or muscle. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, Prolastin reversed recombinant NE-induced impairment of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and IRS-1 phosphorylation. Furthermore, PDGF mediated p-AktSer473 activation and glucose uptake (which is independent of IRS-1) was not affected by recombinant NE treatment. Collectively, our findings suggest that NE infiltration of WAT during metabolic overload contributes to insulin-resistance by impairing insulin-induced IRS-1 signaling.

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Acer tegmentosum Maxim (ATM) on adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 adipocyte-derived cells and anti-obesity properties in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats. Methods: 3T3-L1 adipocytes and HFD-induced obese rats were treated with ATM, and its effect on gene expression was analyzed using RT-PCR and Western blotting experiments. Results: Cellular lipid contents in DMI (dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and insulin mixture)-treated cells increased, while ATM treatment caused a significant reduction in lipid accumulation in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. ATM caused inhibition of adipogenesis via down-regulation of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ), C/EBPα, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) expressions in 3T3-L1 cells. Moreover, treatment with ATM caused a decrease in the expressions of adipocyte-specific genes, such as adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein-2 (aP2), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), compared with DMI-stimulated adipocytes. In addition, phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B (Akt) and its downstream substrate, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), were significantly decreased by ATM treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Together, these results indicated that ATM caused inhibition of both adipocyte differentiation via suppression of the C/EBP family and PPARγ expressions and the Akt signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In the present study, we further investigated anti-obesity effects of ATM on HFD-induced obese rats. Rats fed with HFD demonstrated elevations in body weight gain, while the administration of ATM significantly reversed BW gains and adipose tissue weights in rats fed HFD. ATM supplementation also caused a decrease in the circulating triglyceride levels and total cholesterol levels and led to inhibition of lipid accumulation in the adipose tissues in HFD-induced obesity in rats. Furthermore, epididymal fat exhibited larger adipocytes in the HFD group, whereas the ATM-treated group was significantly smaller than that of HFD group. These results strongly demonstrate that ATM administration caused a reduction in adiposity via attenuation in adipose tissue mass and adipocyte size. Conclusion: These finding demonstrated that ATM exerted anti-obesity effects through inhibition of adipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis, leading to a decrease in BW and fat tissue mass in HFD-induced obesity in rats.

Exosomes are important for intercellular communication, but the role of exosomes in the communication between adipose tissue (<a>AT</a>) and the liver remains unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the contribution of AT-derived exosomes in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (<a>NAFLD</a>). Exosome components, liver fat content, and liver function were monitored in AT in mice fed a <a>high-fat diet </a>(<a>HFD</a>) or treated with metformin- or GW4869 and with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPKα1)<i> </i>floxed<i> (Prkaα1</i><sup>fl/fl</sup>/WT), <a><i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup></a>, liver tissue-specific <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup>, or AT-specific <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> modification. In cultured adipocytes and white adipose tissue (WAT), the absence of <a><i>AMPKα1</i></a> increased exosome release and exosomal proteins by elevating <a>tumor susceptibility gene 101 (<i>TSG101</i></a>)-mediated exosome biogenesis. In adipocytes treated with palmitic acid, TSG101 facilitated scavenger receptor class B (CD36) sorting into exosomes. CD36-containing exosomes were then endocytosed by hepatocytes to induce lipid accumulation and inflammation. Consistently, an HFD induced more severe lipid accumulation and cell death in <a><i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> </a>and adipose tissue-specific <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice than in WT and liver-specific <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice. AMPK activation by metformin reduced adipocyte-mediated exosome release and mitigated fatty liver development in WT and liver specific <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice. Moreover, administration of the exosome inhibitor GW4869 blocked exosome secretion and alleviated HFD-induced fatty livers in <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> and adipocyte-specific <i>Prkaα1</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice. We conclude that HFD-mediated AMPKα1 inhibition promotes NAFLD by increasing numbers of AT C<a>D36</a>-containing exosomes.

AbstractAdipose tissue fibrosis with chronic inflammation is a hallmark of obesity-related metabolic disorders, and the role of proteoglycans in developing adipose tissue fibrosis is of interest. Periodontal disease is associated with obesity; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here we investigated the roles of periodontal ligament associated protein-1 (PLAP-1)/asporin, a proteoglycan preferentially and highly expressed in the periodontal ligament, in obesity-related adipose tissue dysfunction and adipocyte differentiation. It was found that PLAP-1 is also highly expressed in white adipose tissues. Plap-1 knock-out mice counteracted obesity and alveolar bone resorption induced by a high-fat diet. Plap-1 knock-down in 3T3-L1 cells resulted in less lipid accumulation, and recombinant PLAP-1 enhanced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, it was found that primary preadipocytes isolated from Plap-1 knock-out mice showed lesser lipid accumulation than the wild-type (WT) mice. Furthermore, the stromal vascular fraction of Plap-1 knock-out mice showed different extracellular matrix gene expression patterns compared to WT. These findings demonstrate that PLAP-1 enhances adipogenesis and could be a key molecule in understanding the association between periodontal disease and obesity-related metabolic disorders.

The effects of adrenaline (0.5 microM) and the combination of adrenaline and insulin (1.7nM) on [6-14C]glucose metabolism were assessed in epididymal fat-pads from rats fed either a low- or high-fat diet. The response of lipolysis to adrenaline was clearly diminished in fat-fed rats. Insulin added to adrenaline inhibited the lipolysis by 50% regardless of the diet. Glucose utilization in adipose tissue of fat-fed rats was markedly stimulated by adrenaline (glucose uptake was increased 3-fold and the production of CO2 and the glycerol moiety of acylglycerol was increased 4-fold). However, adipose tissue from fat-fed rats was resistant to the effect of insulin to produce a further increase in adrenaline-stimulated glucose uptake. The intracellular capacity of lipogenesis on the one hand, and the production of CO2 and the glycerol moiety of acylglycerol on the other, are of prime importance in the action of insulin and adrenaline on glucose utilization in this model.
