The Metabolic Syndrome

Obesity has been linked to cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, with elevated markers of systemic inflammation. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a transmembrane adhesion molecule involved in leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation. In human obesity, elevated expression of the soluble form of ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) is positively correlated with abdominal fat deposition. Increases in adiposity have also been correlated with macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue. Here we investigate adipose tissue production and transcriptional regulation of ICAM-1 in a mouse model of dietary obesity. After feeding mice a high-fat diet, ICAM-1 expression in serum and adipose tissue was analyzed by ELISA, Northern blotting, real-time quantitative PCR, and flow cytometry. After 6 mo on the high-fat diet, sICAM-1 levels significantly correlated with body weight and abdominal fat mass. ICAM-1 mRNA was expressed in adipose tissue of mice, with significantly higher levels in males than females. After only 3 wk, there were adipose tissue-specific increases in mRNAs for ICAM-1, IL-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in male mice. Analysis of the stromal-vascular fraction of male adipose tissue revealed CD11b-negative cells with increased surface ICAM-1 and CD34. We also found two populations of F4/80+, CD11b+, ICAM-1+ cells, one of which also expressed CD14 and CD11c and was increased in response to a high-fat diet. These results indicate that within 3 wk on a high-fat diet, male mice exhibited significant increases in pro-inflammatory factors and immune cell infiltration in adipose tissue that may represent links between obesity and its associated inflammatory complications.

Aloe Emodin

Background. Aloe emodin (AE) is a lipid-lowering agent, which could be used to treat hyperlipidemia, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Recent evidence suggests that hyperlipidemia is associated with many cardiac pathological alterations and might worsen myocardial damages. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential roles and mechanisms of AE in hyperlipidemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in the heart. Study Design. We established a hyperlipidemia-induced cardiac inflammation model in rats and cells then administered AE and observed its effect on hyperlipidemia-induced cardiac inflammation. Methods. We used a mouse model of hyperlipidemia caused by a high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks and cell culture experimental models of inflammation in the heart stimulated by PA for 14 h. Inflammatory markers were detected by qRT-PCR, WB, and immunofluorescence. Results. We demonstrated that the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were increased in the HFD group compared to the normal diet (ND) group, whereas AE treatment significantly reduced their levels in the myocardium. In addition, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) protein expressions were also inhibited by AE. Our in vitro study showed AE treatment dose-dependently decreased the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in PA-treated H9C2 cells. Further experiments revealed that AE inhibited PA-induced cell death and promoted the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mechanically, AE significantly suppressed the upregulation in protein levels of TLR4, IκB, and p-P65l in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion. Taken together, our findings disclose that AE could alleviate HFD/PA-induced cardiac inflammation via inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Thus, AE may be a promising therapeutic strategy for preventing hyperlipidemia-induced myocardial injury.

In hyperlipidemia, pyroptosis in endothelial cells (ECs) induces atherosclerosis via the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway. We evaluated the effects of Ecklonia cava extract (ECE) and pyrogallol-phloroglucinol-6,6-bieckol (PPB) on pyroptosis of ECs and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which leads to attenuation of these cells and dysfunction of the aorta in high-fat-diet (HFD)-fed mice and in palmitate-treated ECs and VSMCs. The expression of TLR4 and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), which induce formation of NOD-LRR-and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes, were increased by HFD and were decreased by ECE and PPB. The TLR4/NF-κB pathway was upregulated in palmitate-treated ECs and VSMCs and was decreased by ECE and PPB. The expressions of NLRP3/apoptosis-associated speck like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain, caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 were increased by HFD and were decreased by ECE and PPB. Pyroptotic cells were increased by HFD and decreased by ECE and PPB. The expressions of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule and vascular cell adhesion molecule, and endothelin-1 were increased by HFD and were decreased by ECE and PPB. ECE and PPB decreased pyroptosis in the ECs and VSMCs, which was induced by HFD in the mouse aorta, and attenuated EC and VSMC dysfunction, an initiation factor of atherosclerosis.

Hypocholesterolemic Peptide

Dietary protamine can ameliorate hyperlipidemia; however, the protamine-derived active peptide and its hypolipidemic mechanism of action are unclear. Here, we report the discovery of a novel anti-obesity and hypocholesterolemic peptide, RPR (Arg-Pro-Arg), derived from protamine in mice fed a high-fat diet for 50 days. Serum cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the protamine and RPR groups than in the control group. White adipose tissue weight was significantly decreased in the protamine and RPR groups. The fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acid was significantly higher in the protamine and RPR groups than in the control group. We also observed a significant decrease in the expression of hepatic SCD1, SREBP1, and adipocyte FAS mRNA, and significantly increased expression of hepatic PPARα and adipocyte PPARγ1 mRNA in the protamine group. These findings demonstrate that the anti-obesity effects of protamine are linked to the upregulation of adipocyte PPARγ1 and hepatic PPARα and the downregulation of hepatic SCD1 via SREBP1 and adipocyte FAS. RPR derived from protamine has a crucial role in the anti-obesity action of protamine by evaluating the effective dose of adipose tissue weight loss.
