Coordinated Regulation

The feeding-fasting nutritional transition triggers a dynamic change in metabolic pathways and is a model for understanding how these pathways are mutually organized. The targeted disruption of the thioredoxin binding protein-2 (TBP-2)/thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip)/VDUP1 gene in mice results in lethality with hypertriglyceridemia and hypoglycemia during fasting. To investigate the molecular mechanism of the nutritional transition and the role of TBP-2, microarray analyses were performed using the liver of TBP-2−/− mice in the fed and fasted states. We found that the fasting-induced reduction in the expression of lipogenic genes targeted by insulin (SREBP-1), such as FASN and THRSP, was abolished in TBP-2−/− mice, and the expression of lipoprotein lipase is down-regulated, which was consistent with the lipoprotein profile. TBP-2−/− mice also exhibited enhanced glucose-induced insulin secretion and sensitivity. Another feature of the hepatic gene expression in fed TBP-2−/− mice was the augmented expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) target genes, such as CD36, FABP2, ACOT1, and FGF21, to regulate fatty acid consumption. In TBP-2−/− mice, PPARα expression was elevated in the fed state, whereas the fasting-induced up-regulation of PPARα was attenuated. We also detected an increased expression of PPARγ coactivator-1α protein in fed TBP-2−/− mice. TBP-2 overexpression significantly inhibited PPARα-mediated transcriptional activity induced by a specific PPARα ligand in vitro. These results suggest that TBP-2 is a key regulator of PPARα expression and signaling, and coordinated regulation of PPARα and insulin secretion by TBP-2 is crucial in the feeding-fasting nutritional transition. TBP-2/Txnip is a key regulator of PPARα expression and signaling, and coordinated regulation of PPARα and insulin secretion by TBP-2/Txnip is crucial in fasting response.

Important Regulator

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is part of a nuclear receptor superfamily that regulates gene expression involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, immune/inflammation response, and lipid metabolism. PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), initially identified as a PPARγ-interacting protein, is an important regulator of diverse metabolic pathways, such as oxidative metabolism and energy homeostasis. The role of PGC-1α in diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disease is particularly well known. PGC-1α is also now known to play important roles in cancer, independent of the role of PPARγ in cancer. Though many researchers have studied the expression and clinical implications of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer, there are still many controversies about the role of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer. This review examines and summarizes some recent data on the role and action mechanisms of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer, respectively, particularly the recent progress in understanding the role of PPARγ in several cancers since our review was published in 2012.

Sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction remains one of the major causes of death in intensive care units. Overwhelmed inflammatory response and unrestrained cell death play critical roles in sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR-) γ has been proven to be cardioprotective in sepsis. However, the mechanism of PPAR-γ-mediated cardioprotection and its relationship with inflammation and cell death are unclear. We hypothesized that activation of PPAR-γ by reducing cardiac inflammation, myocardial apoptosis, and necroptosis may prevent myocardial dysfunction in sepsis. Rats were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) with or without PPAR-γ agonist (rosiglitazone) or antagonist T0070907 (T007). After CLP, cardiac function was significantly depressed, which was associated with the destructed myocardium, upregulated proinflammatory cytokines, and increased apoptosis, necrosis, and necroptosis. This process is corresponded with decreased inhibitor κB (IκBα) and increased NF-κB, receptor-interacting protein kinase-1 (RIP1), RIP3, and mixed lineage kinase-like (MLKL) protein. Activation of PPAR-γ by rosiglitazone pretreatment enhanced PPAR-γ activity and prevented these changes, thereby improving the survival of septic rats. In contrast, inhibition of PPAR-γ by T007 further exacerbated the condition, dropping the survival rate to nearly 0%. In conclusion, PPAR-γ activation by reducing proinflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, and necroptosis in the myocardium prevents septic myocardial dysfunction.

Knock Out

The transcriptional coactivator, PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α), plays a key role coordinating energy requirement within cells. Its importance is reflected in the growing number of psychiatric and neurological conditions that have been associated with reduced PGC-1α levels. In cortical networks, PGC-1α is required for the induction of parvalbumin (PV) expression in interneurons, and PGC-1a deficiency affects synchronous GABAergic release. It is unknown, however, how this affects cortical excitability. We show here that knocking down PGC-1α specifically in the PV-expressing cells (PGC-1αPV-/-) blocks the activity-dependent regulation of the synaptic proteins, SYT2 and CPLX1. More surprisingly, this cell-class specific knock-out of PGC-1α appears to have a novel anti-epileptic effect, as assayed in brain slices bathed in 0 Mg2+ media. The rate of occurrence of pre-ictal discharges developed approximately equivalently in wild-type and PGC-1αPV-/- brain slices, but the intensity of these discharges was lower in PGC-1αPV-/- slices, as evident from the reduced power in the gamma range and reduced firing rates in both PV interneurons and pyramidal cells during these discharges. Reflecting this reduced intensity in the pre-ictal discharges, the PGC-1αPV-/- brain slices experienced many more discharges before transitioning into a seizure-like event. Consequently, there was a large increase in the latency to the first seizure-like event in brain slices lacking PGC-1α in PV interneurons. We conclude that knocking down PGC-1α limits the range of PV interneuron firing, and this slows the pathophysiological escalation during ictogenesis.

AbstractThe response to insufficient oxygen (hypoxia) is orchestrated by the conserved Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF). However, HIF-independent hypoxia response pathways exist that act in parallel to HIF to mediate the physiological hypoxia response. Here, we describe a HIF-independent hypoxia response pathway controlled byCaenorhabditis elegansNuclear Hormone Receptor NHR-49, an orthologue of mammalian Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPARα). We show thatnhr-49is required for worm survival in hypoxia and is synthetic lethal withhif-1in this context, demonstrating that these factors act independently. RNA-seq analysis shows that in hypoxianhr-49regulates a set of genes that arehif-1-independent, including autophagy genes that promote hypoxia survival. We further show that Nuclear Hormone Receptornhr-67is a negative regulator and Homeodomain-interacting Protein Kinasehpk-1is a positive regulator of the NHR-49 pathway. Together, our experiments define a new, essential hypoxia response pathway that acts in parallel to the well-known HIF-mediated hypoxia response.
