Synthetic adiponectin-receptor agonist, AdipoRon, induces glycolytic dependence in pancreatic cancer cells. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:114. [PMID: 35121743 PMCID: PMC8817044 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-04572-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Obesity creates a localized inflammatory reaction in the adipose, altering secretion of adipocyte-derived factors that contribute to pathologies including cancer. We have previously shown that adiponectin inhibits pancreatic cancer by antagonizing leptin-induced STAT3 activation. Yet, the effects of adiponectin on pancreatic cancer cell metabolism have not been addressed. In these studies, we have uncovered a novel metabolic function for the synthetic adiponectin-receptor agonist, AdipoRon. Treatment of PDAC cells with AdipoRon led to mitochondrial uncoupling and loss of ATP production. Concomitantly, AdipoRon-treated cells increased glucose uptake and utilization. This metabolic switch further correlated with AMPK mediated inhibition of the prolipogenic factor acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 1 (ACC1), which is known to initiate fatty acid catabolism. Yet, measurements of fatty acid oxidation failed to detect any alteration in response to AdipoRon treatment, suggesting a deficiency for compensation. Additional disruption of glycolytic dependence, using either a glycolysis inhibitor or low-glucose conditions, demonstrated an impairment of growth and survival of all pancreatic cancer cell lines tested. Collectively, these studies provide evidence that pancreatic cancer cells utilize metabolic plasticity to upregulate glycolysis in order to adapt to suppression of oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of AdipoRon.

Abstract
Tendon rupture and nerve injury cause fatty infiltration of the skeletal muscle, and the adipokines secreted from the infiltrated adipocytes are known to contribute to chronic inflammation. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of the adipokines on chronic inflammation using a rat sciatic nerve-crushed injury model. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the expression of adiponectin was decreased (0.3-fold) and the expression of Il6 (~ 3.8-fold) and Tnf (~ 6.2-fold) was increased in the nerve-crushed group compared to that in the control group. It was also observed that the administration of an adiponectin receptor agonist decreased the levels of Il6 (0.38-fold) and Tnf (0.28-fold) and improved cellular viability (~ 1.9-fold) in vitro. Additionally, in the fatty infiltrated skeletal muscle, low adiponectin levels were found to be associated with chronic inflammation. Therefore, the local administration of adiponectin receptor agonists would prevent chronic inflammation.

Abstract
While it is well recognized that exercise represents a radical preventive and therapeutic measure for lifestyle-related diseases, it is clear that contemporary lifestyles abound with situations where exercise may be found difficult to implement on a continuous basis. Indeed, this has led to global expectations for elucidation of the exercise-activated skeletal muscle signaling pathways as well as for development of exercise mimics that effectively activate such pathways. It is shown that exercise activates the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α via AMPK/SIRT1 in muscle, thereby not only enhancing mitochondrial function and muscle endurance but upregulating energy metabolism. Further, adipocyte-derived adiponectin is also shown to activate AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α via its receptor AdipoR1 in skeletal muscles. Thus, adiponectin/AdipoR1 signaling is thought to constitute exercise-mimicking signaling. Indeed, it has become clear that AMPK, SIRT1 and AdipoR activators act as exercise mimetics. With the crystal structures of AdipoR elucidated and humanized AdipoR mice generated toward optimization of candidate AdipoR-activators for human use, expectations are mounting for the clinical application in the near future of AdipoR activators as exercise mimetics in humans. This review provides an overview of molecules activated by exercise and compounds activating these molecules, with a focus on the therapeutic potential of AdipoR activators as exercise mimetics.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has shown that AdipoRon, a synthetic adiponectin receptor agonist, is involved in the regulation of whole-body insulin sensitivity and energy homeostasis. However, the mechanisms underlying these alterations remain unclear. Here, using hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and isotopic tracing techniques, we show that short-term (10 days) AdipoRon administration indirectly inhibits lipolysis in white adipose tissue (WAT) via increasing circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in mice fed a high-fat diet. This led to reduced plasma free fatty acid concentrations and improved lipid-induced whole-body insulin resistance. In contrast, we found that long-term (20 days) AdipoRon administration directly exacerbated WAT lipolysis, increased hepatic gluconeogenesis, and impaired the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the skeletal muscle, resulting in aggravated whole-body insulin resistance. Together, these data provide new insights into the comprehensive understanding of multifaceted functional complexity of AdipoRon.

Abstract
Adiponectin can participate in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, energy regulation, immune response, resistance to inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Studies in rodents demonstrated that the small molecule compound adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon could activate the adiponectin receptor and played the same biological role as adiponectin. To explore the influence and regulation of AdipoRon on lipid metabolism disorder in Huoyan goose liver, in this study, goslings were fed a high-fat diet and then administered different dosages of AdipoRon. Subsequently, goose body weight, liver index, liver histopathological changes, blood glucose, blood and liver lipid, biochemical indexes related to liver function and oxidative stress, and the expression levels of genes related to lipid metabolism, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy, adiponectin and its receptors, key molecules of adiponectin involved signal pathway, and transcription factors in the liver, were detected using H&E and Oil red O staining, ELISA, and qRT-PCR methods. The results indicated that AdipoRon could alter the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes, inflammatory factors, apoptosis and autophagy genes, and adiponectin and its receptor genes in liver tissues through signaling pathways such as AMPK and p38 MAPK, as well as the involvement of transcription factors such as PPARα, PPARγ, SIRT1, and FOXO1, reduce the lipid content in blood and liver tissues of geese fed high-fat diets, improve liver antioxidant capacity, regulate apoptosis and autophagy of hepatocytes, and reduce liver inflammatory injury. Our study suggests that AdipoRon has a protective effect on fatty liver injury in goslings fed a high-fat diet.

Abstract
Although islet transplantation (ITx) is a promising therapy for severe diabetes mellitus, further advancements are necessary. Adiponectin, an adipokine that regulates lipid and glucose metabolism, exerts favorable effects on islets, such as reinforcement of the insulin-releasing function. This study evaluated the possibility of adiponectin use to improve ITx outcomes. We treated mouse islets with 10 µg/mL recombinant mouse adiponectin by overnight culture and then assessed the insulin-releasing, angiogenic, and adhesion functions of the islets. Furthermore, 80 syngeneic islet equivalents with or without adiponectin treatment were transplanted into the renal subcapsular space of diabetic mice. In in vitro assessment, released insulin at high glucose stimulation, insulin content, and expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and integrin β1 were improved in adiponectin-treated islets. Furthermore, adiponectin treatment improved the therapeutic effect of ITx on blood glucose levels and promoted angiogenesis of the transplanted islets. However, the therapeutic effect was not pronounced in glucose tolerance test results. In conclusion, adiponectin treatment had preferable effects in the insulin-releasing, angiogenic, and adhesion functions of islets and contributed to the improvement of ITx. The future use of adiponectin treatment in clinical settings to improve ITx outcomes should be investigated.

Abstract
Asians are more susceptible to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and its coronary heart disease (CHD) complications than the Western populations, possibly due to genetic factors, higher degrees of obesity, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction that could occur even in healthy individuals. The genetic factors and their mechanisms, along with gene-gene and gene-environment interactions associated with CHD in T2D Asians, are yet to be explored. Therefore, the objectives of this paper were to review the current evidence of genetic factors for CHD, summarize the proposed mechanisms of these genes and how they may associate with CHD risk, and review the gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in T2D Asians with CHD. The genetic factors can be grouped according to their involvement in the energy and lipoprotein metabolism, vascular and endothelial pathology, antioxidation, cell cycle regulation, DNA damage repair, hormonal regulation of glucose metabolism, as well as cytoskeletal function and intracellular transport. Meanwhile, interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from different genes, SNPs within a single gene, and genetic interaction with environmental factors including obesity, smoking habit, and hyperlipidemia could modify the gene's effect on the disease risk. Collectively, these factors illustrate the complexities of CHD in T2D, specifically among Asians.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors for various metabolic diseases, and it is characterized by central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. The core component for MetS is adipose tissue, which releases adipokines and influences physical health. Adipokines consist of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and contribute to various physiological functions. Generally, a sedentary lifestyle promotes fat accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory adipokines. However, regular exercise has been known to exert various beneficial effects on metabolic and cognitive disorders. Although the mechanisms underlying exercise beneficial effects in MetS are not fully understood, changes in energy expenditure, fat accumulation, circulatory level of myokines, and adipokines might be involved. This review article focuses on some of the selected adipokines in MetS, and their responses to exercise training considering possible mechanisms. Adipokines are a potential link between visceral fats and complications of MetS. Physical inactivity increases pro-inflammatory adipokines. Moderate aerobic exercise increases anti-inflammatory adipokines partly via reducing adipose tissue mass. Physical exercise-induced myokines might mediate beneficial effects via a cross-talk with adipose tissues.

Abstract
Objective Impaired cardiac efficiency is a hallmark of diabetic cardiomyopathy in models of type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) deficiency impairs cardiac efficiency in non-diabetic mice, suggesting that hypoadiponectinemia in type 2 diabetes may contribute to impaired cardiac efficiency due to compromised AdipoR1 signaling. Thus, we investigated whether targeting cardiac adiponectin receptors may improve cardiac function and energetics, and attenuate diabetic cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetic mice. Methods A non-selective adiponectin receptor agonist, AdipoRon, and vehicle were injected intraperitoneally into Eight-week-old db/db or C57BLKS/J mice for 10 days. Cardiac morphology and function were evaluated by echocardiography and working heart perfusions. Results Based on echocardiography, AdipoRon treatment did not alter ejection fraction, left ventricular diameters or left ventricular wall thickness in db/db mice compared to vehicle-treated mice. In isolated working hearts, an impairment in cardiac output and efficiency in db/db mice was not improved by AdipoRon. Mitochondrial respiratory capacity, respiration in the presence of oligomycin, and 4-hydroxynonenal levels were similar among all groups. However, AdipoRon induced a marked shift in the substrate oxidation pattern in db/db mice towards increased reliance on glucose utilization. In parallel, the diabetes-associated increase in serum triglyceride levels in vehicle-treated db/db mice was blunted by AdipoRon treatment, while an increase in myocardial triglycerides in vehicle-treated db/db mice was not altered by AdipoRon treatment. Conclusion AdipoRon treatment shifts myocardial substrate preference towards increased glucose utilization, likely by decreasing fatty acid delivery to the heart, but was not sufficient to improve cardiac output and efficiency in db/db mice.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in elderly individuals and seriously affects quality of life. OA has often been thought to be caused by body weight load, but studies have increasingly shown that OA is an inflammation-mediated metabolic disease. The current existing evidence suggests that OA is associated with obesity-related chronic inflammation as well as abnormal lipid metabolism in obesity, such as fatty acids (FA) and triglycerides. Adiponectin, a cytokine secreted by adipose tissue, can affect the progression of OA by regulating obesity-related inflammatory factors. However, the specific molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. According to previous research, adiponectin can promote the metabolism of FA and triglycerides, which indicates that it is a potential protective factor for OA through many mechanisms. This article aims to review the mechanisms of chronic inflammation, FA and triglycerides in OA, as well as the potential mechanisms of adiponectin in regulating chronic inflammation and promoting FA and triglyceride metabolism. Therefore, adiponectin may have a protective effect on obesity-related OA, which could provide new insight into adiponectin and the related mechanisms in OA.

Eur J Pharmacol 2021; 917:174703. [PMID: 34973951 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Revised: 12/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Hypoadiponectinemia is associated with renal dysfunctions. Irbesartan and pioglitazone activate Peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma receptor (PPAR-γ) as partial and full agonists. We investigated a crosstalk interaction and synergistic action between adiponectin receptors, PPAR-γ agonists in attenuating renal hemodynamics to adrenergic agonists in diabetic Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). Streptozotocin (40 mg/kg) was used to induce diabetes, whereas, pioglitazone (10 mg/kg/day), irbesartan (30 mg/kg/day) administered orally for 28 days and adiponectin intraperitoneally (2.5 μg/kg/day) for last 7 days. Metabolic and plasma samples were analyzed on days 0, 8, 21, and 28. During the acute study (day 29), renal vasoconstrictor actions to adrenergic agonists and angiotensin-II were determined. Diabetic WKYs had lower plasma adiponectin, higher creatinine clearance, urinary and fractional sodium excretion but were normalized to a greater extent in pioglitazone and adiponectin combined treatment. Responses to intra-renal administration of adrenergic agonists including noradrenaline (NA), phenylephrine (PE), methoxamine (ME), and angiotensin-II (ANG-II) were larger in diabetic WKY, but significantly blunted with adiponectin treatment in diabetic WKYs to 35-40%, and further reduced by 65-70% in combination with pioglitazone. Attenuation to ANG-II responses in adiponectin and combination with irbesartan was 30-35% and 75-80%, respectively (P < 0.05). Pharmacodynamically, a crosstalk interaction exists between PPAR-γ, adiponectin receptors (adipo R1 & R2), alpha adrenoceptors, and angiotensin-I (ATI) receptors in the renal vasculature of diabetic WKYs. Exogenously administered adiponectin with full PPAR-γ agonist substantially attenuated renal hemodynamics and improved excretory functions, signifying their renoprotective action. Additionally, a degree of synergism exists between adiponectin and pioglitazone to a large extent compared to combination therapy with irbesartan (partial PPAR-γ agonist) in attenuating the renal vascular receptiveness to adrenergic agonists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted protein-hormone with inflammatory properties, has a potentially important role in the development and progression of asthma. Unravelling whether adiponectin is a causal risk factor for asthma is an important issue to clarify as adiponectin could be a potential novel drug target for the treatment of asthma. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that plasma adiponectin is associated observationally and causally (using genetic variants as instrumental variables) with risk of asthma. METHODS In the Copenhagen General Population Study, we did an observational analysis in 28 845 individuals (2278 asthma cases) with plasma adiponectin measurements, and a genetic one-sample Mendelian randomisation analysis in 94 868 individuals (7128 asthma cases) with 4 genetic variants. Furthermore, in the UK Biobank, we did a genetic two-sample Mendelian randomisation analysis in 462 933 individuals (53 598 asthma cases) with 12 genetic variants. Lastly, we meta-analysed the genetic findings. RESULTS While a 1 unit log-transformed higher plasma adiponectin in the Copenhagen General Population Study was associated with an observational OR of 1.65 (95% CI 1.29 to 2.08) for asthma, the corresponding genetic causal OR was 1.03 (95% CI 0.75 to 1.42). The genetic causal OR for asthma in the UK Biobank was 1.00 (95% CI 0.99 to 1.00). Lastly, genetic meta-analysis confirmed lack of association between genetically high plasma adiponectin and causal OR for asthma. CONCLUSION Observationally, high plasma adiponectin is associated with increased risk of asthma; however, genetic evidence could not support a causal association between plasma adiponectin and asthma.

Abstract
C1q/TNF-related proteins (CTRP) including CTRP3 are a group of secreted proteins which have a complement C1q-like domain in common, and play versatile roles in lipid metabolism, inflammation, tumor metastasis and bone metabolism. Previously, we showed that the expression of C1qtnf3, encoding CTRP3, is highly augmented in joints of autoimmune arthritis models and CTRP3-deficiency exacerbates collagen-induced arthritis in mice. However, the mechanisms how CTRP3-deficiency exacerbates arthritis still remain to be elucidated. In this study, we showed that CTRP3 was highly expressed in Th17 cell, a key player for the development of autoimmune diseases, and Th17 cell differentiation was augmented in C1qtnf3–/– mice. Th17 cell differentiation, but not Th1 cell differentiation, was suppressed by CTRP3 and this suppression was abolished by the treatment with a receptor antagonist against AdipoR2, but not AdipoR1, associated with suppression of Rorc and Stat3 expression. Furthermore, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 agonist, AdipoRon suppressed Th17 cell differentiation via AdipoR2, but not AdipoR1. The development of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis was enhanced in C1qtnf3–/– mice associated with increase of Th17 cell population. CTRP3 inhibited MOG-induced IL-17 production from T cells by affecting both T cells and dendritic cells. These results show that CTRP3 is an endogenous regulator of Th17 differentiation, suggesting that the CTRP3-AdipoR2 axis is a good target for the treatment of Th17 cell-mediated diseases.

Tetrahydrocurcumin Upregulates the Adiponectin-AdipoR Pathway and Improves Insulin Signaling and Pancreatic β-Cell Function in High-Fat Diet/Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Obese Mice. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124552.

Abstract
Impairment of adiponectin production and function is closely associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, which are linked to obesity. Studies in animal models have documented the anti-diabetic effects of tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). Although several possible mechanisms have been proposed, the contribution of adiponectin signaling on THC-mediated antihyperglycemic effects remains unknown. Here, we report that adiposity, steatosis, and hyperglycemia were potently attenuated in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetic obese mice after they received 20 and 100 mg/kg THC for 14 weeks. THC upregulated UCP-1 in adipose tissue and elevated adiponectin levels in the circulation. THC upregulated the AdipoR1/R2-APPL1-mediated pathway in the liver and skeletal muscle, which contributes to improved insulin signaling, glucose utilization, and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, THC treatment significantly (p < 0.05) preserved islet mass, reduced apoptosis, and restored defective insulin expression in the pancreatic β-cells of diabetic obese mice, which was accompanied by an elevation of AdipoR1 and APPL1. These results demonstrated a potential mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of THC against hyperglycemia via the adiponectin-AdipoR pathway, and thus, may lead to a novel therapeutic use for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a missense substitution in CTRP5. Distinctive clinical features include sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) deposits, choroidal neovascularization, and RPE atrophy. In induced pluripotent stem cells-derived RPE from L-ORD patients (L-ORD-iRPE), we show that the dominant pathogenic CTRP5 variant leads to reduced CTRP5 secretion. In silico modeling suggests lower binding of mutant CTRP5 to adiponectin receptor 1 (ADIPOR1). Downstream of ADIPOR1 sustained activation of AMPK renders it insensitive to changes in AMP/ATP ratio resulting in defective lipid metabolism, reduced Neuroprotectin D1(NPD1) secretion, lower mitochondrial respiration, and reduced ATP production. These metabolic defects result in accumulation of sub-RPE deposits and leave L-ORD-iRPE susceptible to dedifferentiation. Gene augmentation of L-ORD-iRPE with WT CTRP5 or modulation of AMPK, by metformin, re-sensitize L-ORD-iRPE to changes in cellular energy status alleviating the disease cellular phenotypes. Our data suggests a mechanism for the dominant behavior of CTRP5 mutation and provides potential treatment strategies for L-ORD patients.

Abstract
Humanity has always sought to live longer and for this, multiple strategies have been tried with varying results. In this sense, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) may be a good option to try to prolong our life while maintaining good health since they have a substantial participation in a wide variety of processes of human pathophysiology and are one of the main therapeutic targets. In this way, we present the analysis of a series of GPCRs whose activity has been shown to affect the lifespan of animal and human models, and in which we put a special interest in describing the molecular mechanisms involved. Our compilation of data revealed that the mechanisms most involved in the role of GPCRs in lifespan are those that mimic dietary restriction, those related to insulin signaling and the AMPK and TOR pathways, and those that alter oxidative homeostasis and severe and/or chronic inflammation. We also discuss the possibility of using agonist or antagonist drugs, depending on the beneficial or harmful effects of each GPCR, in order to prolong people's lifespan and healthspan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hundreds of adipokines have been identified, and their extensive range of endocrine functions-regulating distant organs such as oral tissues-and local autocrine/paracrine roles have been studied. In dentistry, however, adipokines are poorly known proteins in the dental pulp; few of them have been studied despite their large number. This study reviews recent advances in the investigation of dental-pulp adipokines, with an emphasis on their roles in inflammatory processes and their potential therapeutic applications. HIGHLIGHTS The most recently identified adipokines in dental pulp include leptin, adiponectin, resistin, ghrelin, oncostatin, chemerin, and visfatin. They have numerous physiological and pathological functions in the pulp tissue: they are closely related to pulp inflammatory mechanisms and actively participate in cell differentiation, mineralization, angiogenesis, and immune-system modulation. CONCLUSION Adipokines have potential clinical applications in regenerative endodontics and as biomarkers or targets for the pharmacological management of inflammatory and degenerative processes in dental pulp. A promising direction for the development of new therapies may be the use of agonists/antagonists to modulate the expression of the most studied adipokines.

Abstract
Adiponectin-mediated pathways contribute to mammalian homeostasis; however, little is known about adiponectin and adiponectin receptor signaling in arthropods. In this study, we demonstrate that Ixodes scapularis ticks have an adiponectin receptor-like protein (ISARL) but lack adiponectin, suggesting activation by alternative pathways. ISARL expression is significantly upregulated in the tick gut after Borrelia burgdorferi infection, suggesting that ISARL signaling may be co-opted by the Lyme disease agent. Consistent with this, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of ISARL significantly reduced the B. burgdorferi burden in the tick. RNA-seq-based transcriptomics and RNAi assays demonstrate that ISARL-mediated phospholipid metabolism by phosphatidylserine synthase I is associated with B. burgdorferi survival. Furthermore, the tick complement C1q-like protein 3 interacts with ISARL, and B. burgdorferi facilitates this process. This study identifies a new tick metabolic pathway that is connected to the life cycle of the Lyme disease spirochete.

Horm Mol Biol Clin Investig 2021; 43:63-70. [PMID: 34786896 DOI: 10.1515/hmbci-2021-0042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Given the cardiac pathological remodeling following to anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) consumption, we examined the effect of chronic administration of nandrolone decanoate with high-intensity endurance exercise on the left ventricular hypertrophy index, levels of hydroxyproline, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), adiponectin (APN) and its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) expression in rats' hearts. METHODS The male Wistar rats randomly divided to six groups included the control (CTL), exercise (Ex), nandrolone (Nan), vehicle (Arach), trained vehicle (Ex + Arach), and trained nandrolone (Ex + Nan) groups that were treated for eight weeks. RESULTS Nandrolone consumption significantly enhanced the hypertrophy index (p<0.05) and exercise intensified this effect. It also increased the level of cardiac hydroxyproline (p<0.001), however exercise completely masked this effect. The values of TNF-α protein and AdipoR1 protein significantly increased in trained nandrolone-treated (Ex + Nan) group in comparison with CTL group (p<0.05), however, did not show significant alteration in Nan or Ex groups. High-intensity endurance exercise significantly enhanced the AdipoR2 protein (p<0.05), but, co-administration of nandrolone with exercise prevented this effect. The mRNA expression of AdipoR1 significantly reduced in the animals that received nandrolone for eight weeks and exercise recovered this effect (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Despite an additive effect of high-intensity endurance exercise plus nandrolone on TNF-α level, their effects on hydroxyproline and APN receptors expression is incompatible in heart of rat. It is suggests a part of beneficial regulatory role of endurance exercise against nandrolone induced heart remodeling may apply through modulation of APN system.

Abstract
Obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) are well-known comorbidities and their precise molecular interactions are still unidentified. Adiponectin, a major adipokine, known to have an anti-inflammatory effect in atherosclerosis or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), has also been postulated to be pro-inflammatory in OA. This dual role of adiponectin is still not explained. The precise mechanism by which adiponectin affects cartilage and chondrocytes remains to be elucidated. In the present observational study chondrocytes from 30 patients with OA (18 females and 12 males) undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) were isolated. Expression of adiponectin receptors 1 and 2 (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2) was examined both at gene and protein levels in chondrocytes. The difference in adiponectin receptor expression between lean and obese patients with OA and the role of adiponectin in regulating pro-inflammatory genes (MCP-1, IL-6, and VCAM-1, MMP-1, MMP-2, and TIMP-1) has been investigated. We found that ADIPOR1 represented the most abundant adiponectin receptor in primary OA chondrocytes. ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 genes and ADIPOR1 protein were differently expressed in OA chondrocytes obtained from obese compared with lean patients with OA. Adiponectin induced gene expression of MCP-1, IL-6, and MMP-1 in all OA patients' chondrocytes. In contrast, VCAM-1 and MMP-2 were differently regulated by adiponectin depending on the patient's body mass index. This study suggests that adiponectin and ADIPOR1 may have important roles in the pathogenesis of cartilage degeneration in OA of obese subjects.

Abstract
Insulin resistance, defined as a defect in insulin-mediated control of glucose metabolism in tissues - prominently in muscle, fat and liver - is one of the earliest manifestations of a constellation of human diseases that includes type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These diseases are typically associated with intertwined metabolic abnormalities, including obesity, hyperinsulinaemia, hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia. Insulin resistance is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent genetic and biochemical studies suggest a key role for adipose tissue in the development of insulin resistance, potentially by releasing lipids and other circulating factors that promote insulin resistance in other organs. These extracellular factors perturb the intracellular concentration of a range of intermediates, including ceramide and other lipids, leading to defects in responsiveness of cells to insulin. Such intermediates may cause insulin resistance by inhibiting one or more of the proximal components in the signalling cascade downstream of insulin (insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins or AKT). However, there is now evidence to support the view that insulin resistance is a heterogeneous disorder that may variably arise in a range of metabolic tissues and that the mechanism for this effect likely involves a unified insulin resistance pathway that affects a distal step in the insulin action pathway that is more closely linked to the terminal biological response. Identifying these targets is of major importance, as it will reveal potential new targets for treatments of diseases associated with insulin resistance.

Low Plasma Adiponectin in Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Observational Analysis and One- and Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Analyses in 756,219 Individuals. Diabetes 2021; 70:2694-2705.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that low plasma adiponectin is associated observationally and causally with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Observational analyses are prone to confounding and reverse causation, while genetic Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses are much less influenced by these biases. We examined 30,045 individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study observationally (plasma adiponectin [1,751 individuals with type 2 diabetes]), 96,903 Copenhagen individuals using one-sample MR (5 genetic variants [5,012 individuals with type 2 diabetes]), and 659,316 Europeans (ADIPOGen, GERA, DIAGRAM, UK Biobank) using two-sample MR (10 genetic variants [62,892 individuals type 2 diabetes]). Observationally, and in comparisons with individuals with median plasma adiponectin of 28.9 μg/mL (4th quartile), multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for type 2 diabetes were 1.42 (95% CI 1.18-1.72) for 19.2 μg/mL (3rd quartile), 2.21 (1.84-2.66) for 13.9 μg/mL (2nd quartile), and 4.05 (3.38-4.86) for 9.2 μg/mL (1st quartile). Corresponding cumulative incidence for type 2 diabetes at age 70 years was 3%, 7%, 11%, and 20%, respectively. A 1 μg/mL lower plasma adiponectin conferred an HR for type 2 diabetes of 1.07 (1.06-1.09), while genetic, causal risk ratio per 1 unit log-transformed lower plasma adiponectin was 1.13 (95% CI 0.83-1.53) in one-sample MR and 1.26 (1.01-1.57) in two-sample MR. In conclusion, low plasma adiponectin is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, an association that could represent a causal relationship.

Abstract
Autophagy-mediated lipotoxicity plays a critical role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), but the precise mechanism is not fully understood. Whether lipophagy, a selective type of autophagy participates in renal ectopic lipid deposition (ELD) and lipotoxicity in the kidney of DN is unknown. Here, decreased lipophagy, increased ELD and lipotoxcity were observed in tubular cells of patients with DN, which were accompanied with reduced expression of AdipoR1 and p-AMPK. Similar results were found in db/db mice, these changes were reversed by AdipoRon, an adiponectin receptor activator that promotes autophagy. Additionally, a significantly decreased level of lipophagy was observed in HK-2 cells, a human proximal tubular cell line treated with high glucose, which was consistent with increased lipid deposition, apoptosis and fibrosis, while were partially alleviated by AdipoRon. However, these effects were abolished by pretreatment with ULK1 inhibitor SBI-0206965, autophagy inhibitor chloroquine and enhanced by AMPK activator AICAR. These data suggested by the first time that autophagy-mediated lipophagy deficiency plays a critical role in the ELD and lipid-related renal injury of DN.

Abstract
Oxidative stress, which is associated with metabolic and anthropometric perturbations, leads to reactive oxygen species production and decrease in plasma adiponectin concentration. We investigated pharmacodynamically the pathophysiological role and potential implication of exogenously administered adiponectin with full and partial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) agonists on modulation of oxidative stress, metabolic dysregulation, and antioxidant potential in streptozotocin-induced spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Group I (WKY) serves as the normotensive control, whereas 42 male SHRs were randomized equally into 7 groups (n = 6); group II serves as the SHR control, group III serves as the SHR diabetic control, and groups IV, V, and VI are treated with irbesartan (30 mg/kg), pioglitazone (10 mg/kg), and adiponectin (2.5 μg/kg), whereas groups VII and VIII received cotreatments as irbesartan+adiponectin and pioglitazone+adiponectin, respectively. Diabetes was induced using an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg). Plasma adiponectin, lipid contents, and arterial stiffness with oxidative stress biomarkers were measured using an in vitro and in vivo analysis. Diabetic SHRs exhibited hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and increased arterial stiffness with reduced plasma adiponectin and antioxidant enzymatic levels (P < 0.05). Diabetic SHRs pretreated with pioglitazone and adiponectin separately exerted improvements in antioxidant enzyme activities, abrogated arterial stiffness, and offset the increased production of reactive oxygen species and dyslipidemic effects of STZ, whereas the blood pressure values were significantly reduced in the irbesartan-treated groups (all P < 0.05). The combined treatment of exogenously administered adiponectin with full PPAR-γ agonist augmented the improvement in lipid contents and adiponectin concentration and restored arterial stiffness with antioxidant potential effects, indicating the degree of synergism between adiponectin and full PPAR-γ agonists (pioglitazone).

Abstract
Naringin, a natural flavonoid mainly found in citrus fruit, has been reported to exert a positive effect on improving skeletal muscle health. However, the effects and potential mechanisms of naringin on skeletal muscle fiber switching is still unclear. Here, we discovered that oral administration of naringin increased the low-speed running time, four-limb hanging time, body oxygen consumption in mice, enhanced aerobic enzyme activity, MyHC I expression, and slow-twitch fiber percentage in mice skeletal muscle. By contrast, naringin decreased α-GPDH enzyme activity, MyHC IIb expression, and fast-twitch fiber percentage. Moreover, naringin increased the concentration of serum adiponectin and activated the expression of AdipoR1, APPL1, AMPK, and PGC-1α. Furthermore, by the in vitro experiment and AdipoR1 knockdown, we found that inhibition of the AdipoR1 signaling pathway significantly reduced the effect of naringin on slow-twitch fiber-/fast-twitch fiber-related gene and protein expression. In conclusion, our results indicated that naringin could induce skeletal muscle fiber transition from fast twitch to slow twitch via the AdipoR1 signaling pathway. This study may provide new strategy for improving exercise endurance and slow muscle fiber deficiency-related diseases.

Abstract
We previously identified transient brown adipocyte-like cells associated with heterotopic ossification (HO). These ancillary cells support new vessel synthesis essential to bone formation. Recent studies have shown that the M2 macrophage contributes to tissue regeneration in a similar way. To further define the phenotype of these brown adipocyte-like cells they were isolated and characterized by single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq). Analysis of the transcriptome and the presence of surface markers specific for macrophages suggest that these cells are M2 macrophages. To validate these findings, clodronate liposomes were delivered to the tissues during HO, and the results showed both a significant reduction in these macrophages as well as bone formation. These cells were isolated and shown in culture to polarize towards either M1 or M2 similar to other macrophages. To confirm that these are M2 macrophages, mice received lipopolysacheride (LPS), which induces proinflammation and M1 macrophages. The results showed a significant decrease in this specific population and bone formation, suggesting an essential role for M2 macrophages in the production of bone. To determine if these macrophages are specific to HO, we isolated these cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from a bone defect model and subjected them to scRNAseq. Surprisingly, the macrophage populations overlapped between the two groups (HO-derived versus callus) suggesting that they may be essential ancillary cells for bone formation in general and not selective to HO. Of further note, their unique metabolism and lipogenic properties suggest the potential for unique cross talk between these cells and the newly forming bone.

Abstract
Alopecia induced by aging or side effects of medications affects millions of people worldwide and impairs the quality of life; however, there is a limit to the current medications. Here, we identify a small transdermally deliverable 5-mer peptide (GLYYF; P5) that activates adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and promotes hair growth. P5 sufficiently reproduces the biological effect of adiponectin protein via AMPK signaling pathway, increasing the expression of hair growth factors in the dermal papilla cells of human hair follicle. P5 accelerates hair growth ex vivo and induces anagen hair cycle in mice in vivo. Furthermore, we elucidate a key spot for the binding between AdipoR1 and adiponectin protein using docking simulation and mutagenesis studies. This study suggests that P5 could be used as a topical peptide drug for alleviating pathological conditions, which can be improved by adiponectin protein, such as alopecia.

[PMID: 34680977 PMCID: PMC8535967 DOI: 10.3390/genes12101582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
CDH13 encodes T-cadherin, which is expressed in the vasculature and cardiac myocytes and is the receptor for hexameric and high-molecular-weight adiponectin. The CDH13 region is the most pivotal locus associated with adiponectin level. Mediation analysis is a method to explore the effect of a third variable, it is assumed that the magnitude of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables will be reduced by statistical adjustment for a third variable. In addition, mediation can further occur in the case when the mediator acts as a pathway-suppressor variable that means a suppression effect may be suggested if the statistical removal of a mediation effect could increase the magnitude of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Here, we aimed to explore the suppression effect in a genome-wide association study, and investigate possible mechanisms that may link adiponectin to CDH13 variants and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Genome-wide association data for adiponectin and HDL-C were accessible for 2349 Taiwan-biobank participants. The mediation analysis was conducted with the CDH13 lead single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4783244. The cloned constructs of CDH13 haplotypes (GG and TT) identified from the rs4783244 G/T and rs12051272 G/T SNPs were transiently expressed in HEK293T cells and investigated using the luciferase reporter assay. Genome-wide association analysis showed that HDL-C is significantly associated with variants in CDH13 after adjusting for the adiponectin level. The lead SNP rs4783244 was significantly associated with lower adiponectin levels and exhibited a suppression effect on HDL-C when adiponectin was included as a third factor in the mediation analysis. Luciferase reporter assay results further demonstrated that the GG haplotype increased enhancer activity, whereas the haplotype TT significantly reduced the activity of this enhancer. We present the first evidence of the suppressive role of adiponectin in the genome-wide association between CDH13 and HDL-C. CDH13 may increase the HDL-C levels, and its expression is suppressed by adiponectin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Abnormalities in adipose tissue AdipoR1; adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interaction, PH domain, and leucine zipper containing 1 (APPL1); GTPase Rab5; adiponectin; leptin; and visfatin in adults with obesity have been associated with metabolic disturbances. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine whether pediatric obesity disrupts elements of the adiponectin signaling pathway and GTPase Rab5 in adipose tissue. METHODS Primary adipocyte cultures of subcutaneous abdominal tissue were obtained from 96 lean and 66 children and adolescents with obesity (AO). AdipoR1, APPL1, and GTPase Rab5 mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR and their protein content by Western immunoblotting. Serum total and high-molecular-weight adiponectin, leptin, leptin soluble receptor (sOB-R), and visfatin were measured by ELISA. RESULTS The mRNA expression and protein content of AdipoR1 and APPL1 did not differ significantly with obesity, age, or puberty. However, GTPase Rab5 protein was increased in the adipocytes of younger prepubertal children with obesity but decreased in AO. Leptin was increased in AO compared to lean adolescents (AL) and in older prepubertal lean (OPL) children and AL compared to younger prepubertal lean and obese children. sOB-R was higher in OPL children and in the AL and AO. Serum visfatin was increased in the younger prepubertal children and AO. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to adults, obesity did not change the expression of AdipoR1 and APPL1 in cultured adipocytes from biopsies of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue of children and adolescents. Similar to adipose tissue studies in adults with obesity and metabolic dysfunction, the AO in our study showed reduced adipocyte GTPase Rab5 expression.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF). This is commonly termed diabetic cardiomyopathy and is often characterised by increased cardiac fibrosis, pathological hypertrophy, increased oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress as well as diastolic dysfunction. Adiponectin is a cardioprotective adipokine that is downregulated in settings of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Furthermore, both adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1 and R2) are also downregulated in these settings which further results in impaired cardiac adiponectin signalling and reduced cardioprotection. In many cardiac pathologies, adiponectin signalling has been shown to protect against cardiac remodelling and lipotoxicity, however its cardioprotective actions in T2D-induced cardiomyopathy remain unresolved. Diabetic cardiomyopathy has historically lacked effective treatment options. In this review, we summarise the current evidence for links between the suppressed adiponectin signalling pathway and cardiac dysfunction, in diabetes. We describe adiponectin receptor-mediated signalling pathways that are normally associated with cardioprotection, as well as current and potential future therapeutic approaches that could target this pathway as possible interventions for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
In recent years, the techniques in molecular biology have been dramatically advanced, and consequently the landscape of metabolism research has undergone a remarkable change. One of the emerging pictures as the fruits of these advancements is one depicting the regulation of systemic metabolism through inter-organ networks involving multiple tissues, either via humoral factors, which are secreted from one tissue and conveyed to their remote target tissues, or through neuronal networks which are integrated by the central nervous system. In addition, the progress in high-throughput research tools enabled detailed characterization and deeper understanding of the nature of human genome, which has attracted much attention to the importance of various non-coding RNAs species. These non-coding RNAs are often co-expressed and co-regulated with adjacent protein coding genes, adding higher levels of complexities by them functioning together as a system and often influencing biologically important pathways in a cooperative manner. Here in this review several examples of these regulatory network systems are presented, illustrating the significance of them in systemic metabolism, with a possible future research direction also being proposed.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of dietary leucine supplementation on muscle fiber type transformation in weaning piglets, 54 21-day-old male DLY (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) weaned piglets were randomly divided into control, 0.25% and 0.5% leucine groups. The experiment lasted for 42 d. The results showed that dietary supplementation of 0.25% leucine significantly increased the protein expressions of slow MyHC, myoglobin and Troponin I-SS and the mRNA expressions of MyHC I, MyHC IIa, Tnni1, Tnnc1, Tnnt1 and myoglobin, while decreased the protein level of fast MyHC and the mRNA level of MyHC IIb in longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. Furthermore, 0.25% leucine significantly increased succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. In addition, our data found that 0.25% leucine significantly increased serum adiponectin (AdipoQ) concentration, and the protein levels of AdipoQ, adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1), phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) and PPAR-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and the mRNA levels of AdipoQ, AdipoR1 and AMPKα2. Together, our findings indicate that leucine promotes porcine skeletal muscle fiber type transformation from fast-twitch to slow-twitch, and the effect may be mediated by AdipoQ-AMPK-PGC-1α signaling pathway.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for at least 13 different types of cancer, many of which are hormonally driven, and is associated with increased cancer incidence and morbidity. Adult obesity rates are steadily increasing and a subsequent increase in cancer burden is anticipated. Obesity-related dysfunction can contribute to cancer pathogenesis and treatment resistance through various mechanisms, including those mediated by insulin, leptin, adipokine, and aromatase signalling pathways, particularly in women. Furthermore, adiposity-related changes can influence tumour vascularity and inflammation in the tumour microenvironment, which can support tumour development and growth. Trials investigating non-pharmacological approaches to target the mechanisms driving obesity-mediated cancer pathogenesis are emerging and are necessary to better appreciate the interplay between malignancy, adiposity, diet and exercise. Diet, exercise and bariatric surgery are potential strategies to reverse the cancer-promoting effects of obesity; trials of these interventions should be conducted in a scientifically rigorous manner with dose escalation and appropriate selection of tumour phenotypes and have cancer-related clinical and mechanistic endpoints. We are only beginning to understand the mechanisms by which obesity effects cell signalling and systemic factors that contribute to oncogenesis. As the rates of obesity and cancer increase, we must promote the development of non-pharmacological lifestyle trials for the treatment and prevention of malignancy.

Abstract
Diabetes is currently a growing concern of the age. Prevention and treatment of diabetes is a global health priority. Adiponectin is an adipocyte derived protein hormone that enhances insulin sensitivity and ameliorates diabetes by enhancing fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and reducing glucose production in the liver. Low serum adiponectin concentrations are associated with diabetes, central obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Adiponectin gene is located on chromosome 3q27, where a locus of susceptibility to diabetes was mapped. Several cross-sectional studies showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) were associated with diabetes. SNPs in ADIPOQ help in assessing the association of common variants with levels of adiponectin and the risk of diabetes. Two common SNPs, rs2241766 and rs1501299, have been linked significantly to type 1 diabetes mellitus which endow the world with a block of haplotypes. Experimental evidences also suggest that rs1501299, rs2241766, rs266729, rs17366743, rs17300539, rs182052, rs822396, rs17846866, rs3774261 and rs822393 are significantly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus which is the predominant form of the disease. In addition, rs2241766 and rs266729 are extensively associated with gestational diabetes, a condition that develops in women during pregnancy. Therefore not a particular single mutation but a number of SNPs in adiponectin gene could be a risk factor for developing diabetes among the individuals worldwide. This study firmly suggests that adiponectin plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized as an integrated condition of dysregulated metabolism across multiple tissues, with well-established consequences on the cardiovascular system. Recent advances in precision phenotyping in biofluids and tissues in large human observational and interventional studies have afforded a unique opportunity to translate seminal findings in models and cellular systems to patients at risk for diabetes and its complications. Specifically, techniques to assay metabolites, proteins, and transcripts, alongside more recent assessment of the gut microbiome, underscore the complexity of diabetes in patients, suggesting avenues for precision phenotyping of risk, response to intervention, and potentially novel therapies. In addition, the influence of external factors and inputs (eg, activity, diet, medical therapies) on each domain of molecular characterization has gained prominence toward better understanding their role in prevention. Here, the authors provide a broad overview of the role of several of these molecular domains in human translational investigation in diabetes.

Abstract
Background: Propyl propane thiosulfonate (PTSO) is an organosulfur compound from Allium spp. that has shown interesting antimicrobial properties and immunomodulatory effects in different experimental models. In this sense, our aim was to evaluate its effect on an experimental model of obesity, focusing on inflammatory and metabolic markers and the gut microbiota. Methods and results: Mice were fed a high-fat diet and orally treated with different doses of PTSO (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg/day) for 5 weeks. PTSO lessened the weight gain and improved the plasma markers associated with glucose and lipid metabolisms. PTSO also attenuated obesity-associated systemic inflammation, reducing the immune cell infiltration and, thus, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in adipose and hepatic tissues (Il-1ẞ, Il-6, Tnf-α, Mcp-1, Jnk-1, Jnk-2, Leptin, Leptin R, Adiponectin, Ampk, Ppar-α, Ppar-γ, Glut-4 and Tlr-4) and improving the expression of different key elements for gut barrier integrity (Muc-2, Muc-3, Occludin, Zo-1 and Tff-3). Additionally, these effects were connected to a regulation of the gut microbiome, which was altered by the high-fat diet. Conclusion: Allium-derived PTSO can be considered a potential new tool for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived circulating factor that protects various organs and tissues. Such a pleiotropic action mechanism has not yet been fully explained. Clinically important multimer adiponectin existing in serum bound to cells expressing T-cadherin, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cadherin, but not to the cells expressing other known receptors, AdipoRs or calreticulin. Adiponectin bound to the cell-surface, accumulated inside of multivesicular bodies through T-cadherin, and increased exosome biogenesis and secretion from the cells. Such increased exosome production accompanied the reduction of cellular ceramides in endothelial cells and mouse aorta, and enhanced skeletal muscle regeneration. Significantly lower plasma exosome levels were found in mice genetically deficient in either adiponectin or T-cadherin. Therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for a pressure overload-induced heart failure in mice required the presence of adiponectin in plasma, T-cadherin expression and exosome biogenesis in MSCs themselves, accompanying an increase of plasma exosomes. Essentially all organs seem to have MSCs and/or their related somatic stem cells expressing T-cadherin. Our recent studies suggested the importance of exosome-stimulation by multimer adiponectin in its well-known pleiotropic organ protections.

Abstract
Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are high prevalence, inter-related conditions at increased risk for advanced liver diseases and related mortality. Adiponectin and leptin have divergent roles in the pathogenesis of fat accumulation and NAFLD. However, the relationships between body and liver fat accumulation, early modification of liver function and unbalanced adipokine levels are still scarcely explored. We studied by (13C)-methacetin breath test ((13C)-MBT) 67 adults stratified according to body mass index, and to presence/absence of ultrasonographic nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (uNAFLD). uNAFLD was detected in 20%, 73% and 96% of normal weight, overweight and obese subjects, respectively. The delta over baseline after 15 min (DOB15), a marker of hepatic extraction efficiency from portal blood flow, was lower in obese than in normal weight subjects, and in subjects with-, as compared to those without uNAFLD. The cumulative percent dose recovery after 30 min (cPDR30), a marker of liver microsomal function, was lower in uNAFLD patients. DOB15 was positively correlated with adiponectin levels in obese and in uNAFLD patients. uNAFLD patients also showed a positive correlation between cPDR30 values and adiponectin. Our data indicate the existence of early alterations of liver function in obese and in patients with uNAFLD. These dysfunctions are linked to altered leptin/adiponectin balance and can be identified noninvasively by (13C)-MBT.

Yang J, He L, Gao M, Xiao F, Zhang F, Wang S, Shu Y, Ye X, Qu W, Li L, Wei H. Collagen β(1-O) galactosyltransferase 2 deficiency contributes to lipodystrophy and aggravates NAFLD related to HMW adiponectin in mice. Metabolism 2021; 120:154777. [PMID: 33865898 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2021.154777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2020] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AIM Our previous results showed that Colgalt1 knock-out resulted in fetal death on day E11.5, and collagen secretion was retarded. This study aimed to elucidate the role of Collagen β(1-O) galactosyltransferase 2 (Colgalt2) in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Colgalt2-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or methionine-and choline-deficient diet (MCD). Nanopore long-read RNA-Seq analysis of liver tissues was used to profile genomic variation. In vitro, hepatocyte steatosis and differentiation of primary pre-adipocytes were induced. RESULTS Colgalt2-/- mice exhibited lipodystrophy, increased body weight, and hepatic lipid accumulation at 6 weeks of age. Colgalt2 deficiency aggravated hepatic steatosis in mice fed an HFD or a standard laboratory chow diet. Colgalt2 deficiency promotes steatohepatitis in MCD-fed mice. In HFD mice, Colgalt2 deficiency caused lipodystrophy and decreased plasma HMW, total adiponectin, and leptin levels. Colgalt2 deficiency also reduced circulating HMW/Total adiponectin in mice fed a HFD diet without differences of adiponectin mRNA and protein level in WT and Colgalt2-/- mice. The nanopore long-read RNA-Seq analysis results revealed transcriptional changes in the adiponectin receptor downstream signaling pathway and lipogenic genes, including the AMPK signaling pathway, adipocytokine signaling pathway, and lipid metabolism (Cidea, Cidec, CD36, and PPARγ). Colgalt2 deficiency did not promote lipid accumulation in OA-induced HepG2 cells or primary hepatocytes. However, Colgalt2 deficiency inhibited adipogenesis and reduced PPARγ, adipogenesis-related transcription factors, and expression during adipocyte differentiation. CONCLUSIONS In mice, Colgalt2 deficiency contributes to lipodystrophy and promotes NAFLD related to HMW adiponectin. These results suggest that Colgalt2 could be a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NAFLD.

Clin Epigenetics 2021; 13:131.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) have provided opportunities to understand the role of epigenetic mechanisms in development and pathophysiology of many chronic diseases. However, an important limitation of conventional EWAS is that profiles of epigenetic variability are often obtained in samples of mixed cell types. Here, we aim to assess whether changes in cord blood DNA methylation (DNAm) associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) exposure and early childhood growth markers occur in a cell type-specific manner. RESULTS We analyzed 275 cord blood samples collected at delivery from a prospective pre-birth cohort with genome-wide DNAm profiled by the Illumina MethylationEPIC array. We estimated proportions of seven common cell types in each sample using a cord blood-specific DNAm reference panel. Leveraging a recently developed approach named CellDMC, we performed cell type-specific EWAS to identify CpG loci significantly associated with GDM, or 3-year-old body mass index (BMI) z-score. A total of 1410 CpG loci displayed significant cell type-specific differences in methylation level between 23 GDM cases and 252 controls with a false discovery rate < 0.05. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis indicated that LDL transportation emerged from CpG specifically identified from B-cells DNAm analyses and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway emerged from CpG specifically identified from natural killer cells DNAm analyses. In addition, we identified four and six loci associated with 3-year-old BMI z-score that were specific to CD8+ T-cells and monocytes, respectively. By performing genome-wide permutation tests, we validated that most of our detected signals had low false positive rates. CONCLUSION Compared to conventional EWAS adjusting for the effects of cell type heterogeneity, the proposed approach based on cell type-specific EWAS could provide additional biologically meaningful associations between CpG methylation, prenatal maternal GDM or 3-year-old BMI. With careful validation, these findings may provide new insights into the pathogenesis, programming, and consequences of related childhood metabolic dysregulation. Therefore, we propose that cell type-specific analyses are worth cautious explorations.

Abstract
Adipokines are active molecules with pleiotropic effects produced by adipose tissue and involved in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness, which is a consequence of arteriosclerosis, has been shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of arterial stiffness is complex but incompletely understood. Adipokines dysregulation may induce, by various mechanisms, vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular remodeling, leading to increased arterial stiffness. This article summarizes literature data regarding adipokine-related pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the development of arterial stiffness, particularly in obesity, as well as the results of clinical and epidemiological studies which investigated the relationship between adipokines and arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Studies of adipose tissue biology have demonstrated that adipose tissue should be considered as both passive, energy-storing tissue and an endocrine organ because of the secretion of adipose-specific factors, called adipokines. Adiponectin is a well-described homeostatic adipokine with metabolic properties. It regulates whole-body energy status through the induction of fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake. Adiponectin also has anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties, making it an interesting subject of biomedical studies. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a fat depot that is conterminous to the vascular wall and acts on it in a paracrine manner through adipokine secretion. PVAT-derived adiponectin can act on the vascular wall through endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. The present review describes adiponectin's structure, receptors, and main signaling pathways. We further discuss recent studies of the extent and nature of crosstalk between PVAT-derived adiponectin and endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and atherosclerotic plaques. Furthermore, we argue whether adiponectin and its receptors may be considered putative therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Oxidative stress causes hypoadiponectemia and reactive oxygen species production. This study investigates the pathophysiological role and potential effects of adiponectin with partial and full peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonists on modulation of metabolic dysregulation and oxidative stress in diabetic model of Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). Forty two male WKY rats were randomized equally into 7 groups (n = 6), Group I serve as control, group II as WKY diabetic control, groups III, IV and V treated with irbesartan (30 mg/kg), pioglitazone (10 mg/kg) and adiponectin (2.5 μg/kg), groups VI and VII were co-treated as: irbesartan + adiponectin, pioglitazone + adiponectin, respectively. Streptozotocin @ 40 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally to induce diabetes. Plasma adiponectin, metabolic indices, pulse wave velocity, oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymatic activities were measured. Streptozotocin induced WKYs expressed hyperglycaemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypoadiponectemia, increased arterial stiffness and decreased antioxidant enzymatic levels (P<0.05). Treatment with adiponectin or pioglitazone alone showed improvements in metabolic indices, antioxidant enzymes, and abrogated arterial stiffness, attenuated generation of reactive oxygen species and dyslipidaemic effects of streptozotocin better as compared to irbesartan sets of treatment (all P<0.05). Co-treatment of adiponectin with pioglitazone significantly amplified the improvement in plasma triglycerides, adiponectin concentration, pulse wave velocity and antioxidant enzymatic activities indicating synergistic effects of adiponectin with full PPAR-γ agonist.

Int J Obes (Lond) 2021; 45:1229-1239.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Overweight and obesity are undoubtable risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases and significantly contribute to the global morbi-mortality. We previoulsy reported that LNP599, a pharmacological imidazoline-like activator of hepatic AMPK/adiponectin signaling, protects against the development of adiposity and obesity and the associated cardio-metabolic disorders, suggesting that it may be a suitable drug candidate for a therapeutic approach targeting the development of obesity at very early stages. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the metabolic effects of LNP599 in a model of diet-induced overweight and metabolic disorders in a nonhuman primate, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), and more particularly to establish the impact of the compound on cholesterol homeostasis, i.e., HDL and LDL/VLDL lipoproteins. METHODS Marmosets were fed normal (NC) or hypercaloric (HC) chow during 16 weeks. Diet-induced changes in body weight and metabolism were assessed. Effects of LNP599 were evaluated in a subset of HC animals (HC-LNP) receiving the compound at a daily dose of 10 mg/kg over the 16 weeks. RESULTS HC-feeding induced significant overweight associated with a marked dyslipidemia (hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and reduced HDL over LDL/VLDL cholesterol ratio). LNP599 blunted the diet-induced body weight gain and largely protected against the development of hypertriglyceridemia. Total cholesterol was unchanged but the ratio of HDL over LDL/VLDL cholesterol was more than doubled. CONCLUSIONS The profile of metabolic troubles obtained upon enriched diet mimicked the disorders associated with spontaneous obesity in marmosets. HC marmosets represent an experimental model of high clinical relevance to study the pathophysiology of obesity and related dyslipidemia and to evaluate the effects of emerging therapies targeting these disorders. Our data confirm the preventing effects of LNP599 in a nonhuman primate model and demonstrate for the first time the high potency of this drug in promoting HDL-cholesterol.

Abstract
Adiponectin is an adipokine that exerts insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory roles in insulin target tissues including liver. While the insulin-sensitizing function of adiponectin has been extensively investigated, the precise mechanism by which adiponectin alleviates diet-induced hepatic inflammation remains elusive. Here, we report that hepatocyte-specific knockout (KO) of the adaptor protein APPL2 enhanced adiponectin sensitivity and prevented mice from developing high-fat diet-induced inflammation, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance, although it caused fatty liver. The improved anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects in the APPL2 hepatocyte-specific KO mice were largely reversed by knocking out adiponectin. Mechanistically, hepatocyte APPL2 deficiency enhances adiponectin signaling in the liver, which blocks TNF-α-stimulated MCP-1 expression via inhibiting the mTORC1 signaling pathway, leading to reduced macrophage infiltration and thus reduced inflammation in the liver. With results taken together, our study uncovers a mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory role of adiponectin in the liver and reveals the hepatic APPL2-mTORC1-MCP-1 axis as a potential target for treating overnutrition-induced inflammation in the liver.

Abstract
Binge eating is a heritable trait associated with eating disorders and refers to the rapid consumption of a large quantity of energy-dense food that is, associated with loss of control and negative affect. Binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder in the United States; however, the genetic basis is unknown. We previously identified robust mouse inbred strain differences between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J in binge-like eating of sweetened palatable food in an intermittent access, conditioned place preference paradigm. To map the genetic basis of changes in body weight and binge-like eating (BLE) and to identify candidate genes, we conducted quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis in 128 C57BL/6J x DBA/2J-F2 mice combined with PheQTL and trait covariance analysis in GeneNetwork2 using legacy BXD-RI trait datasets. We identified a QTL on Chromosome 18 influencing changes in body weight across days in females (log of the odds [LOD] = 6.3; 1.5-LOD: 3-12 cM) that contains the candidate gene Zeb1. We also identified a sex-combined QTL influencing initial palatable food intake on Chromosome 5 (LOD = 5.8; 1.5-LOD: 21-28 cM) that contains the candidate gene Lcorl and a second QTL influencing escalated palatable food intake on Chromosome 6 in males (LOD = 5.4; 1.5-LOD: 50-59 cM) that contains the candidate genes Adipor2 and Plxnd1. Finally, we identified a suggestive QTL in females for slope of BLE on distal Chromosome 18 (LOD = 4.1; p = 0.055; 1.5-LOD: 23-35 cM). Future studies will use BXD-RI strains to fine map loci and support candidate gene nomination for gene editing.

Abstract
Adiponectin, an adipokine that circulates as multiple multimeric complexes at high levels in serum, has antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic, and cardioprotective properties. Understanding the mechanisms regulating adiponectin's physiological effects is likely to provide critical insight into the development of adiponectin-based therapeutics to treat various metabolic-related diseases. In this review, we summarize our current understanding on adiponectin action in its various target tissues and in cellular models. We also focus on recent advances in two particular regulatory aspects; namely, the regulation of adiponectin gene expression, multimerization, and secretion, as well as extravasation of circulating adiponectin to the interstitial space and its degradation. Finally, we discuss some potential therapeutic approaches using adiponectin as a target and the current challenges facing adiponectin-based therapeutic interventions.

The ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 proteins (ADIPORs) are generally considered as adiponectin receptors with anti-diabetic properties. However, studies on the yeast and C. elegans homologs of the mammalian ADIPORs, and of the ADIPORs themselves in various mammalian cell models, support an updated/different view. Based on findings in these experimental models, the ADIPORs are now emerging as evolutionarily conserved regulators of membrane homeostasis that do not require adiponectin to act as membrane fluidity sensors and regulate phospholipid composition. More specifically, membrane rigidification activates ADIPOR signaling to promote fatty acid desaturation and incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into membrane phospholipids until fluidity is restored. The present review summarizes the evidence supporting this new view of the ADIPORs, and briefly examines physiological consequences.

Beberashvili I, Cohen-Cesla T, Khatib A, Hamad RA, Azar A, Stav K, Efrati S. Comorbidity burden may explain adiponectin's paradox as a marker of increased mortality risk in hemodialysis patients. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9087. [PMID: 33907250 PMCID: PMC8079690 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88558-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite experimental evidence of beneficial metabolic, antiatherosclerotic and antiinflammatory effects of the 30 kDa adipokine, adiponectin, maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with high adiponectin blood levels have paradoxically high mortality rates. We aimed to examine the direction of the associations between adiponectin and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality as well as with markers of oxidative stress, inflammation and nutrition in MHD patients with varying degrees of comorbidities. A cohort of 261 MHD patients (mean age 68.6 ± 13.6 years, 38.7% women), grouped according to baseline comorbidity index (CI) and serum adiponectin levels, were followed prospectively for six years. High and low concentrations were established according to median CI and adiponectin levels and cross-classified. Across the four CI-adiponectin categories, the group with low comorbidities and high adiponectin exhibited the best outcomes. Conversely, the high comorbidity group with high adiponectin levels had the lowest survival rate in both all-cause mortality (log rankχ2 = 23.74, p < 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (log rankχ2 = 34.16, p < 0.001). Further data adjustment for case-mix covariates including fat mass index did not substantially affect these results. In conclusion, the direction of adiponectin’s prognostic associations in MHD patients is inverse in those with few comorbidities and direct in those with many comorbidities.

[PMID: 34020334 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2021.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat metabolism is a complex process regulated by a number of factors. Adiponectin receptor 1 (ADIPOR1) gene takes active part in lipid metabolism. Although, there have been some researches indicating that ADIPOR1 could influence the milk fat metabolism through targeting some factors, little is known about the effect of ADIPOR1 on goat milk fat metabolism. To investigate the regulatory role of ADIPOR1 on milk fat metabolism in GMECs, we analysed overexpression in the presence and absence of AdipoRon (50 μM) and examined knockdown using siRNA. Using RT-qPCR, we assessed ADIPOR1 mRNA expressions among different lactation stages in goat mammary gland and the expression of six genes that regulate milk fat metabolism in GMECs. RESULTS ADIPOR1 mRNA expression level was higher during the various lactation stages, except dry-off period. Knockdown and overexpression results revealed a significant decrease and increase in mRNA expression of ADIPOR1 and genes considered: SREBF1, ACACA, FASN, SCD, ATGL, and HSL, respectively. Treatment of GMECs with AdipoRon 50 μM resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the mRNA expression of all measured genes, except SREBF1. CONCLUSION Overall, ADIPOR1 plays a central role in regulating the transcription of several genes involved in milk fat metabolism.
