Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) manifests as a major health concern, particularly for the elderly. Understanding AKI-related proteome changes is critical for prevention and development of novel therapeutics to recover kidney function and to mitigate the susceptibility for recurrent AKI or development of chronic kidney disease. In this study, mouse kidneys were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and the contralateral kidneys remained uninjured to enable comparison and assess injury-induced changes in the kidney proteome. A fast-acquisition rate ZenoTOF 7600 mass spectrometer was introduced for data-independent acquisition (DIA) for comprehensive protein identification and quantification. Short microflow gradients and the generation of a deep kidney-specific spectral library allowed for high-throughput, comprehensive protein quantification. Upon AKI, the kidney proteome was completely remodeled, and over half of the 3,945 quantified protein groups changed significantly. Downregulated proteins in the injured kidney were involved in energy production, including numerous peroxisomal matrix proteins that function in fatty acid oxidation, such as ACOX1, CAT, EHHADH, ACOT4, ACOT8, and Scp2. Injured mice exhibited severely declined health. The comprehensive and sensitive kidney-specific DIA assays highlighted here feature high-throughput analytical capabilities to achieve deep coverage of the kidney proteome and will serve as useful tools for developing novel therapeutics to remediate kidney function.

Life Sci 2020; 264:118629. [PMID: 33131747 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.118629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease worldwide. Exogenous H2S has been shown to effectively mitigate NAFLD, although little is known about the underlying targets and molecular mechanisms. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were fed with normal fat diet (NFD) or high fat diet (HFD) for a total 16 weeks, and HFD-fed mice were treated with saline or NaHS beginning in 12th week. The combination analysis of metabolomics and proteomics of liver tissues was firstly performed to discover the candidate targets and potential molecular pathways involved in H2S mitigating the NAFLD. KEY FINDINGS Compared with NaCl, H2S relieved NAFLD by reducing liver weight, body weight and lipid accumulation in liver, and improving liver pathology and serum biochemical parameters. There were 40 overlapping metabolites in the intersection analysis between comparative analysis of HFD + NaCl vs NFD and HFD + NaHS vs HFD + NaCl based on liver metabolomics. Moreover, a total of 58 proteins were obtained whose changes were reversed after treatment with H2S. A combined analysis of liver metabolomics and proteomics was then conducted, revealing 8 shared molecular pathways, as well as the enrichment of unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, Plin2 may also be a potential target of H2S via the regulation of lipid droplet degradation in alleviating NAFLD. SIGNIFICANCE We performed the first study combining metabolomics and proteomics to explore the mechanisms behind the alleviation of NAFLD by H2S. Our results not only provide evidence that H2S alleviates NAFLD but also reveals its possible molecular mechanisms and targets.

Abstract
This paper reports that the human peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase expression shows three transcripts: Tr1 (1705 bp), Tr2 (1375 bp) and Tr3 (1782 bp). Their highest expression is observed in the human liver and at a lesser extent in hepatic-derived HepG2 cells. The intestine and blood and endothelial cells show lower expression. The lowest expression is found in adipocytes. The transcript Tr3 appears to be the most abundant. So far, no data have been published regarding the regulation of the human peroxisomal thiolase. After cloning a fragment of the 5' region involved in the regulation of the human thiolase gene, the effects of different treatments have been studied on the thiolase expression in the hepatoma HepG2 human cell line. Biocomputing analysis indicates that (i) a GRE (glucocorticoid response element) is located at -650 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site; (ii) a C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein) binding site is located at - 1000 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site - and (iii) there is no putative PPRE (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor response element). In the human HepG2 cells, thiolase expression is upregulated by glucose and downregulated by insulin and sterols, while dexamethasone and fatty acids have no effect. The ciprofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator, leads only to a weak stimulation of the mRNA expression as compared to thiolase B expression in the rat liver.

Abstract
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) supports the outer retina through essential roles in the retinoid cycle, nutrient supply, ion exchange, and waste removal. Each day the RPE removes the oldest ~10% of photoreceptor outer segment (OS) disk membranes through phagocytic uptake, which peaks following light onset. Impaired degradation of phagocytosed OS material by the RPE can lead to toxic accumulation of lipids, oxidative tissue damage, inflammation, and cell death. OSs are rich in very long chain fatty acids, which are preferentially catabolized in peroxisomes. Despite the importance of lipid degradation in RPE function, the regulation of peroxisome number and activity relative to diurnal OS ingestion is relatively unexplored. Using immunohistochemistry, immunoblot analysis, and catalase activity assays, we investigated peroxisome abundance and activity at 6 AM, 7 AM (light onset), 8 AM, and 3 PM, in wild-type (WT) mice and mice lacking microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (Lc3b), which have impaired phagosome degradation. We found that catalase activity, but not the amount of catalase protein, is 50% higher in the morning compared with 3 PM, in RPE of WT, but not Lc3b-/-, mice. Surprisingly, we found that peroxisome abundance was stable during the day in RPE of WT mice; however, numbers were elevated overall in Lc3b-/- mice, implicating LC3B in autophagic organelle turnover in RPE. Our data suggest that RPE peroxisome function is regulated in coordination with phagocytosis, possibly through direct enzyme regulation, and may serve to prepare RPE peroxisomes for daily surges in ingested lipid-rich OS.

Abstract
Excessive intake of high-energy diets is an important cause of most obesity. The intervention of rats with high-fat diet can replicate the ideal animal model for studying the occurrence of human nutritional obesity. Proteomics and bioinformatics analyses can help us to systematically and comprehensively study the effect of high-fat diet on rat liver. In the present study, 4056 proteins were identified in rat liver by using tandem mass tag. A total of 198 proteins were significantly changed, of which 103 were significantly up-regulated and ninety-five were significantly down-regulated. These significant differentially expressed proteins are primarily involved in lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism processes. The intake of a high-fat diet forces the body to maintain physiological balance by regulating these key protein spots to inhibit fatty acid synthesis, promote fatty acid oxidation and accelerate fatty acid degradation. The present study enriches our understanding of metabolic disorders induced by high-fat diets at the protein level.

Abstract
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, is one of the most widely used pesticides in agriculture and home garden use. Whether glyphosate causes any mammalian toxicity remains highly controversial. While many studies have associated glyphosate with numerous adverse health effects, the mechanisms underlying glyphosate toxicity in mammals remain poorly understood. Here, we used activity-based protein profiling to map glyphosate targets in mice. We show that glyphosate at high doses can be metabolized in vivo to reactive metabolites such as glyoxylate and react with cysteines across many proteins in mouse liver. We show that glyoxylate inhibits liver fatty acid oxidation enzymes and glyphosate treatment in mice increases the levels of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters, likely resulting from diversion of fatty acids away from oxidation and toward other lipid pathways. Our study highlights the utility of using chemoproteomics to identify novel toxicological mechanisms of environmental chemicals such as glyphosate.

Disturbances in cholesterol, bile acid and glucose metabolism in peroxisomal 3-ketoacylCoA thiolase B deficient mice fed diets containing high or low fat contents. Biochimie 2013; 98:86-101.

Abstract
The peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase B (ThB) catalyzes the thiolytic cleavage of straight chain 3-ketoacyl-CoAs. Up to now, the ability of ThB to interfere with lipid metabolism was studied in mice fed a laboratory chow enriched or not with the synthetic agonist Wy14,643, a pharmacological activator of the nuclear hormone receptor PPARα. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine whether ThB could play a role in obesity and lipid metabolism when mice are chronically fed a synthetic High Fat Diet (HFD) or a Low Fat Diet (LFD) as a control diet. To investigate this possibility, wild-type (WT) mice and mice deficient for Thb (Thb(-/-)) were subjected to either a synthetic LFD or a HFD for 25 weeks, and their responses were compared. First, when fed a normal regulatory laboratory chow, Thb(-/-) mice displayed growth retardation as well as a severe reduction in the plasma level of Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin Growth Factor-I (IGF-I), suggesting alterations in the GH/IGF-1 pathway. When fed the synthetic diets, the corrected energy intake to body mass was significantly higher in Thb(-/-) mice, yet those mice were protected from HFD-induced adiposity. Importantly, Thb(-/-) mice also suffered from hypoglycemia, exhibited reduction in liver glycogen stores and circulating insulin levels under the LFD and the HFD. Thb deficiency was also associated with higher levels of plasma HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) cholesterol and increased liver content of cholesterol under both the LFD and the HFD. As shown by the plasma lathosterol to cholesterol ratio, a surrogate marker for cholesterol biosynthesis, whole body cholesterol de novo synthesis was increased in Thb(-/-) mice. By comparing liver RNA from WT mice and Thb(-/-) mice using oligonucleotide microarray and RT-qPCR, a coordinated decrease in the expression of critical cholesterol synthesizing genes and an increased expression of genes involved in bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1, Cyp17a1, Akr1d1) were observed in Thb(-/-) mice. In parallel, the elevation of the lathosterol to cholesterol ratio as well as the increased expression of cholesterol synthesizing genes were observed in the kidney of Thb(-/-) mice fed the LFD and the HFD. Overall, the data indicate that ThB is not fully interchangeable with the thiolase A isoform. The present study also reveals that modulating the expression of the peroxisomal ThB enzyme can largely reverberate not only throughout fatty acid metabolism but also cholesterol, bile acid and glucose metabolism.

Abstract
PPARα and HNF4α are nuclear receptors that control gene transcription by direct binding to specific nucleotide sequences. Using transgenic mice deficient for either PPARα or HNF4α, we show that the expression of the peroxisomal 3-keto-acyl-CoA thiolase B (Thb) is under the dependence of these two transcription factors. Transactivation and gel shift experiments identified a novel PPAR response element within intron 3 of the Thb gene, by which PPARα but not HNF4α transactivates. Intriguingly, we found that HNF4α enhanced PPARα/RXRα transactivation from TB PPRE3 in a DNA-binding independent manner. Coimmunoprecipitation assays supported the hypothesis that HNF4α was physically interacting with RXRα. RT-PCR performed with RNA from liver-specific HNF4α-null mice confirmed the involvement of HNF4α in the PPARα-regulated induction of Thb by Wy14,643. Overall, we conclude that HNF4α enhances the PPARα-mediated activation of Thb gene expression in part through interaction with the obligate PPARα partner, RXRα.

Abstract
Peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase B (Thb) catalyzes the final step in the peroxisomal β-oxidation of straight-chain acyl-CoAs and is under the transcription control of the nuclear hormone receptor PPARα. PPARα binds to and is activated by the synthetic compound Wy14,643 (Wy). Here, we show that the magnitude of Wy-mediated induction of peroxisomal β-oxidation of radiolabeled (1-(14)C) palmitate was significantly reduced in mice deficient for Thb. In contrast, mitochondrial β-oxidation was unaltered in Thb(-/-) mice. Given that Wy-treatment induced Acox1 and MFP-1/-2 activity at a similar level in both genotypes, we concluded that the thiolase step alone was responsible for the reduced peroxisomal β-oxidation of fatty acids. Electron microscopic analysis and cytochemical localization of catalase indicated that peroxisome proliferation in the liver after Wy-treatment was normal in Thb(-/-) mice. Intriguingly, micro-array analysis revealed that mRNA levels of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes were upregulated by Wy in Wild-Type (WT) mice but not in Thb(-/-) mice, which was confirmed at the protein level for the selected genes. The non-induction of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes by Wy in Thb(-/-) mice appeared to be unrelated to defective SREBP-2 or PPARα signaling. No difference was observed in the plasma lathosterol/cholesterol ratio (a marker for de novo cholesterol biosynthesis) between Wy-treated WT and Thb(-/-) mice, suggesting functional compensation. Overall, we conclude that ThA and SCPx/SCP2 thiolases cannot fully compensate for the absence of ThB. In addition, our data indicate that ThB is involved in the regulation of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes in the liver, suggesting that the peroxisome could be a promising candidate for the correction of cholesterol imbalance in dyslipidemia.

Abstract
The mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) system produces most of the ATP required by the cell. The structural proteins of the OxPhos holoenzymes are well known, but important aspects of their biogenesis and regulation remain to be uncovered and a significant fraction of mitochondrial proteins have yet to be identified. We have used a high throughput, genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) approach to identify new OxPhos-related genes. We transduced a mouse fibroblast cell line with a lentiviral-based shRNA-library, and screened the cell population for growth impairment in galactose-based medium, which requires an intact OxPhos system. Candidate genes were ranked according to their co-expression with known genes encoding OxPhos mitochondria-located proteins. For the top ranking candidates the cellular process in which they are involved was evaluated. Our results show that the use of genome-wide RNAi together with screening for deficient growth in galactose medium is a suitable approach to identifying OxPhos-related and cellular energy metabolism-related genes. Interestingly also ubiquitin-proteasome related genes were selected.

Abstract
Obesity and related metabolic disorders have become leading causes of adult morbidity and mortality. KRAP (Ki-ras-induced actin-interacting protein) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein and a ubiquitous protein among tissues, originally identified as a cancer-related molecule, however, its physiological roles remain unknown. Here we demonstrate that KRAP-deficient (KRAP(-/-)) mice show enhanced metabolic rate, decreased adiposity, improved glucose tolerance, hypoinsulinemia and hypoleptinemia. KRAP(-/-) mice are also protected against high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance despite of hyperphagia. Notably, glucose uptake in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) in KRAP(-/-) mice is enhanced in an insulin-independent manner, suggesting that BAT is involved in altered energy homeostasis in KRAP(-/-) mice, although UCP (Uncoupling protein) expressions are not altered. Of interest is the down-regulation of fatty acid metabolism-related molecules, including acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)-1, ACC-2 and fatty acid synthase in the liver of KRAP(-/-) mice, which could in part account for the metabolic phenotype in KRAP(-/-) mice. Thus, KRAP is a novel regulator in whole-body energy homeostasis and may be a therapeutic target in obesity and related diseases.

Alopecia and male infertility in oligotriche mutant mice are caused by a deletion on distal chromosome 9. Mamm Genome 2008; 19:691-702. [PMID: 19002527 DOI: 10.1007/s00335-008-9150-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2008] [Accepted: 10/02/2008] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The recessive mutation oligotriche (olt) affects the coat and male fertility in the mouse. In homozygous (olt/olt) mutants, the coat is sparse, most notably in the inguinal and medial femoral region. In these regions, almost all hair shafts are bent and distorted in their course through the dermis and rarely penetrate the epidermis because the hair cortex is not fully keratinized. During hair follicle morphogenesis, mutant hair follicles exit from anagen one day before those of normal littermates and show a prolongation of the catagen stage. The oligotriche (olt) locus was mapped to distal chromosome 9 within a 5-Mbp interval distal to D9Mit279. Analysis of candidate gene expression revealed that olt/olt mutant mice do not express functional phospholipase C delta 1 (Plcd1) mRNA. This deficiency is the consequence of a 234-kbp deletion involving not only the Plcd1 locus but also the chromosomal segment harboring the genes Vill (villin-like), Dlec1 (deleted in lung and esophageal cancer 1), Acaa1b (acetyl-Coenzyme A acyltransferase 1B, synonym thiolase B), and parts of the genes Ctdspl (carboxy-terminal domain RNA polymerase II polypeptide A small phosphatase-like) and Slc22a14 (solute carrier family 22 member 14). Offspring of olt/olt females, mated with Plcd1 ( -/- ) knockout males, exhibit coat defects similar to those observed in homozygous olt/olt mutant mice but the spermiogenesis in male offspring is normal. We conclude that the 234-kbp deletion from chromosome 9 harbors a gene involved in spermiogenesis and we propose that the oligotriche mutant be used as a model for the study of the putative tumor suppressor genes Dlec1, Ctdspl, and Vill. We also suggest that the oligotriche locus be named Del(9Ctdspl-Slc22a14)1Pas.

Abstract
The effects of high-fat (HF) feeding on gene expression in the small intestine were examined using obesity-resistant A/J mice and obesity-prone C57BL/6J (B6) mice. Both strains of mice were maintained on low-fat (LF; 5% fat) or HF (30% fat) diets for 2 wk. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis revealed that lipid metabolism-related genes, including carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I, liver fatty acid binding protein, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4, and NADP(+)-dependent cytosolic malic enzyme, were upregulated by HF feeding in both strains of mice. The upregulated gene expression levels were higher in A/J mice than in B6 mice, suggesting more active lipid metabolism in the small intestine of A/J mice. The prominent upregulation of the lipid metabolism-related genes were specific to the small intestine; the expression levels were little or unchanged in the liver, muscle, and white adipose tissue. The increase by HF feeding and predominant expression of the intestinal lipid metabolism-related genes in A/J mice were reflected in the enzyme activities; malic enzyme, CPT, and beta-oxidation activities were increased by HF feeding, and the upregulated malic enzyme and CPT activities were significantly higher in obesity-resistant A/J mice compared with those in obesity-prone B6 mice. These findings suggest that intestinal lipid metabolism is associated with susceptibility to obesity.

Abstract
Studies using mice with beta4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit deficiency (beta4-/- mice) helped reveal the roles of this subunit in bradycardiac response to vagal stimulation, nicotine-induced seizure activity and anxiety. To identify genes that might be related to beta4-containing nAChRs activity, we compared the mRNA expression profiles of brains from beta4-/- and wild-type mice using Affymetrix U74Av2 microarray. Seventy-seven genes significantly differentiated between these two experimental groups. Of them, the two most downregulated were spastic paraplegia 21 (human) homolog (Spg21) and 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (Pts) genes. Since the targeted mutagenesis of the beta4 nAChR subunit was done by using two mouse strains, 129SvEv and C57BL/6J, it is possible that the genes closely linked to the mutated beta4 gene represent the 129SvEv allele and not the control C57BL/6J-driven allele. We examined this possibility by using public database and quantitative RT-PCR. The expression levels of Spg21 and Pts genes that, like the beta4 gene, are localized on mouse chromosome 9, as well as the expression levels of other genes located on this chromosome, were dependent on the mouse background strain. The 67 differentially expressed genes that are not located on chromosome 9 were further analyzed for overrepresented functional annotations and transcription regulatory elements compared with the entire microarray. Genes encoding for proteins involved in tyrosine phosphatase activity, calcium ion binding, cell growth and/or maintenance, and chromosome organization were overrepresented. Our data enhance the understanding of the molecular interactions involved in the beta4 nAChR subunit function. They also emphasize the need for careful interpretation of expression microarray studies done on genetically manipulated animals.

Abstract
Fatty acid degradation in most organisms occurs primarily via the beta-oxidation cycle. In mammals, beta-oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes, whereas plants and most fungi harbor the beta-oxidation cycle only in the peroxisomes. Although several of the enzymes participating in this pathway in both organelles are similar, some distinct physiological roles have been uncovered. Recent advances in the structural elucidation of numerous mammalian and yeast enzymes involved in beta-oxidation have shed light on the basis of the substrate specificity for several of them. Of particular interest is the structural organization and function of the type 1 and 2 multifunctional enzyme (MFE-1 and MFE-2), two enzymes evolutionarily distant yet catalyzing the same overall enzymatic reactions but via opposite stereochemistry. New data on the physiological roles of the various enzymes participating in beta-oxidation have been gathered through the analysis of knockout mutants in plants, yeast and animals, as well as by the use of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis from beta-oxidation intermediates as a tool to study carbon flux through the pathway. In plants, both forward and reverse genetics performed on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed novel roles for beta-oxidation in the germination process that is independent of the generation of carbohydrates for growth, as well as in embryo and flower development, and the generation of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid and the signal molecule jasmonic acid.

Abstract
The peroxisomal beta-oxidation system consists of four steps catalysed by three enzymes: acyl-CoA oxidase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (multifunctional enzyme) and thiolase. In humans, thiolase activity is encoded by one gene, whereas in rodents, three enzymes encoded by three distinct genes (i.e. thiolase A, thiolase B and SCP2/thiolase) catalyse the thiolase activity. So far, acyl-CoA oxidase- and multifunctional enzyme-deficient patients have been identified and knock-out mice for these genes have been produced. Conversely, no isolated thiolase-deficient patient has been found, and no thiolase (A or B)-deficient mice have been generated. Hence, to better understand the cause of isolated human thiolase deficiency, we disrupted the catalytic site of the mouse thiolase B by homologous recombination in order to analyse the phenotype of these thiolase B-deficient mice. Mice, made homozygous for the mutation, lack expression of thiolase B mRNA and are viable, fertile and healthy at birth. They exhibit no detectable phenotype defects and no compensation, rather a slight decrease in other peroxisomal thiolase (thiolase A and SCPx) mRNAs, was found.
