Characterization of β-adrenergic receptors in bovine intramuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissue: comparison of lubabegron fumarate with β-adrenergic receptor agonists and antagonists.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary cell constructs expressing either the β 1-, β 2- or β 3-adrenergic receptor (AR) were used to determine whether a novel β-AR modulator, lubabegron fumarate (LUB; Experior, Elanco Animal Health) might exert greater potency for a specific β-AR subtype. EC50 values calculated based on cAMP accumulation in dose response curves indicate that LUB is highly selective for the β 3-AR subtype, with an EC50 of 6 × 10–9 M, with no detectible agonistic activity at the β 2-AR. We hypothesized that the accumulation of lipolytic markers would reflect the agonist activity at each of the β-receptor subtypes of the specific ligand; additionally, there would be differences in receptor subtype expression in subcutaneous (s.c.) and intrmuscular (i.m.) adipose tissues. Total RNA was extracted from adipose tissue samples and relative mRNA levels for β 1-, β2-, and β 3-AR were measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Fresh s.c. and i.m. adipose tissue explants were incubated with isoproterenol hydrochloride (ISO; β-AR pan-agonist), dobutamine hydrochloride (DOB; specific β 1-AA), salbutamol sulfate (SAL; specific β 2-AA), ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC), zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZIL), BRL-37344 (specific β 3-agonist), or LUB for 30 min following preincubation with theophylline (inhibitor of phosphodiesterase). Relative mRNA amounts for β 1-, β 2-, and β 3-AR were greater (P < 0.05) in s.c. than in i.m. adipose tissue. The most abundant β-AR mRNA in both adipose tissues was the β 2-AR (P < 0.05), with the β 1- and β 3-AR subtypes being minimally expressed in i.m. adipose tissue. ISO, RH, and ZH stimulated the release of glycerol and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) from s.c. adipose tissue, but these β-AR ligands did not alter concentrations of these lipolytic markers in i.m. adipose tissue. LUB did not affect glycerol or NEFA concentrations in s.c. or i.m. adipose tissue, but attenuated (P < 0.05) the accumulation of cAMP mediated by the β 1- and β 2-AR ligands DOB and SAL in s.c. adipose tissue. Collectively, these data indicate that bovine i.m. adipose tissue is less responsive than s.c. adipose tissue to β-adrenergic ligands, especially those that are agonists at the β 1- and β3-receptor subtypes. The minimal mRNA expression of the β 1- and β 3 subtypes in i.m. adipose tissue likely limits the response potential to agonists for these β-AR subtypes.

Abstract
We conducted 3 independent experiments to demonstrate functional G-coupled protein receptor 43 (GPR43) and GPR120 in bovine intramuscular (i.m.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissues. We hypothesized that media volatile fatty acids and long-chain fatty acids would affect cAMP-activated protein kinase-alpha (AMPKα) protein expression and cAMP concentrations differently in i.m. and s.c. adipose tissue. Experiment 1: oleic acid (18:1n-9) decreased phosphorylated AMPKα protein (p-AMPKα) and the p-AMPKα/AMPKα protein ratio in i.m. preadipocytes, increased the p-AMPKα/AMPKα protein ratio in bovine satellite cells, and had no effect in s.c. preadipocytes. Experment 2: ex vivo explants from the 5th to 8th longissimus thoracic rib muscle section of Angus crossbred steers were cultured 48 hr in media containing 0.25 µM ciglitizone, 5 mM glucose, and 5 mM acetate, in the absence or the presence of 100 µM oleic acid. Oleic acid increased acetate incorporation into fatty acids and GPR43 gene expression in i.m. adipose tissue (P < 0.05), but oleic acid had no effect on fatty acid synthesis or GPR43 expression in s.c. adipose tissue. Experiment 3: fresh s.c. and i.m. adipose tissue from the 5th to 8th longissimus thoracic rib muscle section of Angus crossbred steers was transferred immediately to 6-well culture plates containing 3 mL of KHB/Hepes/5 mM glucose. Samples were preincubated with 0.5 mM theophylline plus 10 μM forskolin for 30 min, after which increasing concentrations of acetate or propionate (0, 10-3, 10-2.3, and 10-3 M) in the absence or the presence of 100 μM oleic acid or 100 µM palmitic acid (16:0) were added to the incubation media. Acetate had no effect on forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in s.c. adipose tissue but decreased cAMP in i.m. adipose tissue (P < 0.05); this indicates a functional GPR43 receptor in i.m. adipose tissue. The combination of 10-2 M acetate and oleic acid decrease cAMP production in s.c. adipose tissue, consistent with GPR120 receptor activity, but oleic acid and palmitic acid attenuated the depression of cAMP production caused by acetate in i.m. adipose tissue. Palmitic acid depressed cAMP production in s.c. adipose tissue, and increased cAMP production in i.m. adipose tissue (P < 0.05). Propionate had no effect on cAMP production in s.c. or i.m. adipose tissue. These results provide evidence for functional GPR43 receptors in i.m. adipose tissue and GPR120 receptors in s.c. adipose tissue, both of which would suppress lipolysis.

Abstract
Because of the relatively short lifespans of beef cattle, membrane trafficking in relation to inflammation is not considered important unless it overtly affects productivity. However, glucose uptake and utilization is important for adipose tissue development in beef cattle, and increasing glucose utilization in intramuscular adipose tissue can increase carcass quality. Research from the 1980s demonstrated a lack of insulin sensitivity in isolated bovine adipocytes and adipose tissue explants incubated in vitro. Insulin did not stimulate glucose or acetate incorporation into fatty acids, nor did it increase concentrations of glycolytic intermediates in bovine adipose tissue incubated with exogenous glucose. Specific binding of [I] iodoinsulin and insulin degradation in bovine isolated adipocytes was low to non-detectable. These early studies indicated that insulin-dependent receptor-mediated signaling was less important in bovine adipose tissue than in adipose tissues of humans, swine, or laboratory species. More recent research demonstrated that glucose transporter protein 4 (GLUT4) expression in muscle and adipose tissue declines markedly after birth in calves, indicating the development of insulin resistance as cattle transition from suckling to functional ruminants. Insulin resistance is important in dairy cattle, causing ketosis and fatty liver. Consistent with this, subcutaneous adipose tissue expression decreases 50% following parturition in dairy cattle, although expression of genes associated with insulin responsiveness (, , and ) is up-regulated by 21 d postpartum. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of insulin resistance in beef and dairy cattle would increase animal health and thereby improve productivity.

Abstract
Influence of vitamin A on the beef quality of the Tajima strain of Japanese Black cattle was studied. Marbling scores were correlated with serum vitamin A concentrations just before slaughter (r = -0.38). The mean marbling score of the low vitamin A group that were not supplemented with vitamin A after 15 months of age was significantly higher than that of the group supplemented with high vitamin A. However, there was no significant difference in the marbling scores between the group that were not given vitamin A after 23 months of age and the high vitamin A supplemented group. These results suggest that vitamin A supplementation affects carcass marbling only if given before 23 months of age, in these cattle.

Abstract
We predicted that zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH), a β-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist, would depress mRNA and protein abundance of β-AR in bovine satellite cells. We also predicted that ZH would decrease total lipid synthesis in bovine adipose tissue. Bovine satellite cells isolated from the semimembranosus muscle were plated on tissue culture plates coated with reduced growth factor matrigel or collagen. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure specific gene expression after 48 h of ZH exposure in proliferating satellite cells and fused myoblasts. There was no effect of ZH dose on [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA in proliferating myoblasts. Zilpaterol hydrochloride at 1 µM decreased (P < 0.05) β1-AR mRNA, and 0.01 and 1 µM ZH decreased (P < 0.05) β2-AR and β3-AR mRNA in myoblasts. The expression of IGF-I mRNA tended to increase (P = 0.07) with 1 µM ZH. There was no effect (P > 0.10) of ZH on the β-AR or IGF-I gene expression in fused myotube cultures at 192 h or on fusion percentage. The β2-AR antagonist ICI-118, 551 at 0.1 µM attenuated (P < 0.05) the effect of 0.1 µM ZH to reduce expression of β1- and β2-AR mRNA. The combination of 0.01 µM ZH and 0.1 µM ICI-118, 551 caused an increase (P < 0.05) in β1-AR gene expression. There was no effect (P > 0.10) of ICI-118, 551 or ZH on β3-AR or IGF-I. Western blot analysis revealed that the protein content of β2-AR in ZH-treated myotube cultures decreased (P < 0.05) relative to control. Total lipid synthesis from acetate was increased by ZH in bovine subcutaneous adipose tissue explants in the absence of theophylline but was decreased by ZH when theophylline was included in the incubation medium. These data indicate that ZH alters mRNA and protein concentrations of β-AR in satellite cell cultures, which in turn could affect responsiveness of cells to prolonged ZH exposure in vivo. Similar to other β-adrenergic agonists, ZH had only modest effects on lipid metabolism in adipose tissue explants.

Abstract
We hypothesized that, at a common age endpoint, adipose tissue from corn-fed steers would be less sensitive to insulin than adipose tissue from hay-fed steers. Angus steers were assigned to either a corn-based diet (n = 6) or hay-based diet (n = 6) and fed to common days on feed. Steers fed the corn-based diet had 2.44 cm of fat thickness over the 12th thoracic rib, whereas hay-fed steers had 1.04 cm of fat thickness. At slaughter, subcutaneous adipose samples were collected and portions of subcutaneous adipose tissue were incubated with [U-(14)C]acetate to quantify fatty acid synthesis or with [U-(14)C]glucose to assess glucose utilization in the presence of 0, 100, or 500 ng/mL of insulin. Additional subcutaneous samples were used to evaluate glycolytic intermediate concentrations as indicators of glycolytic flux. Data were analyzed as a split-plot with diet in the main plot and insulin concentration and its interaction with diet in the sub-plot. Within diet, linear and quadratic contrasts of insulin concentration were tested. Diet had no effect (P > or = 0.31) on glucose metabolism or acetate carbon incorporation into total lipids (P = 0.32). Insulin had no effect (P > 0.21) on glucose conversion to CO(2), lactate, or total lipids, nor did it affect (P = 0.28) acetate conversion to total lipids. No diet x insulin interaction (P > 0.36) was observed for any measure of subcutaneous metabolism in vitro. Steers fed the corn-based diet exhibited neither a linear (P > 0.22) nor a quadratic (P > 0.24) effect to increasing insulin concentration. However, when steers were fed the hay-based diet, there was a positive linear (P = 0.06) effect for glucose oxidation. These results suggest that subcutaneous adipose tissue may become resistant to stimulation by insulin in steers fed to a fat thickness above the average feedlot steer, but this is independent of diet.

Abstract
Angus (n = 8; 210 kg of BW) and 7/8 Wagyu (n = 8; 174 kg of BW) steers were used to evaluate the effects of dietary energy source on muscle and adipose tissue metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Steers were assigned to either a grain-based (corn) or hay-based (hay) diet and fed to similar final BW. At slaughter, LM and s.c. and i.m. adipose tissue samples were collected. Portions of the LM and adipose tissues were placed immediately in liquid N for later measurement of glycolytic intermediates. Fresh LM and s.c. and i.m. adipose tissues were incubated with [U-(14)C]glucose to assess glucose metabolism in vitro. All in vitro measures were in the presence of 0 or 500 ng/mL of insulin. Also, s.c. and i.m. adipose tissues were incubated with [1-(14)C]acetate to quantify lipid synthesis in vitro. Glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate concentrations were 12.6- and 2.4-fold greater in muscle than in s.c. and i.m. adipose tissues, respectively. Diet did not affect acetate incorporation into fatty acids (P = 0.86). Insulin did not increase conversion of glucose to CO(2), lactate, or total lipid in steers fed hay but caused an increase (per cell) of 97 to 110% in glucose conversion to CO(2), 46 to 54% in glucose conversion to lactate, and 65 to 160% in glucose conversion to total lipid content in adipose tissue from steers fed corn. On a per-cell basis, s.c. adipose tissue had 37% greater glucose oxidation than i.m. adipose (P = 0.04) and 290% greater acetate incorporation into fatty acids than i.m. adipose (P = 0.04). Insulin addition to s.c. adipose tissue from corn-fed steers failed to stimulate glucose incorporation into fatty acids, but exposing i.m. adipose tissue from corn-fed steers to insulin resulted in a 165% increase in glucose incorporation into fatty acids. These results suggest that feeding hay limited both glucose supply and tissue capacity to increase glucose utilization in response to insulin without altering acetate conversion to fatty acids. Because s.c. adipose tissue consistently utilized more acetate and oxidized more glucose than did i.m. adipose, these results suggest that hay-based diets may alter i.m. adipose tissue metabolism with less effect on s.c. adipose tissue.

Abstract
We predicted that providing rumen-protected starch to the small intestine would increase adiposity of intramuscular adipose tissue, and hence marbling scores. Eighteen 15-mo-old Brangus steers were assigned randomly to one of three dietary treatment groups: 1) cracked corn (Corn); 2) casein-formaldehyde-protected lipid (Canola Lipid); or 3) casein-formaldehyde-protected starch (Marble Plus). All diets were equally balanced for ME (2.91 Mcal/kg), CP (12.5%), and DM (89%). Ether extract was 3.7, 6.9, and 6.9% for the Corn, Canola Lipid, and Marble Plus diets, respectively, and the Marble Plus also contained 3.7% protected starch. Steers were fed the diets for 126 d before slaughter. Average daily feed intake (as-fed basis), ADG, and feed:gain ratio (P > or = 0.23) did not differ among treatments. Carcasses across treatments did not differ (P = 0.26) in adjusted fat thickness, longissimus muscle area, hot carcass weight, dressing percentage, marbling scores, or USDA quality grade. Percentage of kidney, pelvic, and heart fat was higher (P < 0.01) and USDA yield grade tended (P = 0.08) to be higher, for carcasses from Canola Lipid- and Marble Plus-fed steers than for carcasses from Corn-fed steers. Of the descriptive meat sensory attributes, connective tissue amount (P = 0.06) and painty flavor (P = 0.12) tended to be greater in meat from Marble Plus steers than from Canola Lipid steers. Percentages of 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 were higher (P < 0.01), and 15:0, 16:0, and 17:0 were lower (P < or = 0.07) in tissues from Canola Lipid- and Marble Plus-fed steers than in Corn-fed steers. Mean adipocyte volume was greater (P = 0.02) in i.m. adipose tissue and tended (P = 0.11) to be greater in s.c. adipose tissue of Canola Lipid steers (848 pL) vs. Corn steers (536 pL). Glucose incorporation into total lipids, glyceride-glycerol, and fatty acid fractions was highest (P < 0.01) in s.c. adipose tissue from steers fed Marble Plus but was unaffected (P > or = 0.33) by diet in i.m. adipose tissue. Fatty acid synthetase activity tended (P = 0.08) to be higher in s.c. adipose tissue of Marble Plus steers, and NADP-malic dehydrogenase activity was higher (P = 0.03) in i.m. adipose tissue of Canola Lipid steers. We conclude that Marble Plus did not improve carcass quality, but also did not reduce beef sensory attributes. Any differences we observed in carcass characteristics, adipose tissue cellularity, or lipogenesis apparently were caused by the protected lipid rather than the protected starch.

Abstract
Glucose metabolism via the pentose cycle, glycolysis and the Krebs cycle was quantified in bovine microvascular endothelial cells. The major measured end-product of glucose was L-lactate, with relatively small amounts of glucose carbons converted to CO2 and pyruvate. The pentose cycle accounted for less than 4% of the glucose utilized. About 60-70% of the metabolized glucose carbons could not be accounted for by lactate, pyruvate and CO2. Insulin stimulated glycolysis and pentose cycle activity, but had no effect on glucose oxidation via the Krebs cycle. As the pentose cycle is a major source of NADPH which is required for the synthesis of nitric oxide (the endothelium relaxing factor), insulin may play a role in regulating NO generation in endothelial cells by modulating the pentose cycle activity.

Abstract
Exogenous fatty acid esterification in intramuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissues from 72-hr fasted or ad libitum fed Angus cattle was investigated. Intramuscular (interfascicular) and subcutaneous adipose tissue snips were obtained from the longissimus dorsi muscle and were incubated with radioisotopically labeled fatty acids (palmitate, stearate, oleate, linoleate or linolenate) at three different concentrations (0.3 mM, 0.6 mM and 2.0 mM) to assess rates of fatty acid incorporation into glycerolipids. Rates of fatty acid esterification in vitro increased with fatty acid concentration in both intramuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissues. For all of the fatty acids investigated, triglycerides were the predominant products (60-85%). Subcutaneous adipose tissue had larger adipocytes and more actively (P less than 0.05) esterified fatty acids, with the exception of palmitate, than intramuscular adipose tissue. The rate of palmitate esterification was not different between tissues, although intramuscular adipose tissue esterified a greater proportion (P less than 0.10) of palmitate as triglyceride (85%) than did subcutaneous adipose tissue (75%). Relative rates of incorporation of fatty acids into lipids in intramuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissues were: palmitate greater than linolenate greater than linoleate greater than stearate. In general, 72-hr fasting did not significantly reduce the rates of fatty acid incorporation in bovine adipose tissues. Results of this study revealed that:i) rates of exogenous fatty acid incorporation into adipose tissue lipids were dependent on the medium fatty acid concentration and adipose tissue depot; and ii) the relative esterification rates of the various fatty acids in vitro did not necessarily reflect the proportion of these fatty acids in bovine adipose tissues.

Abstract
The aim of the experiment was to determine the acute and chronic effects of the beta-agonist, cimaterol, on plasma hormone and metabolite concentrations in steers. Twelve Friesian steers (liveweight = 488 +/- 3 kg) were randomly assigned to receive either 0 (control; n = 6) or .09 mg cimaterol/kg body weight/day (treated; n = 6). Steers were fed grass silage ad libitum. Cimaterol, dissolved in 140 ml of acidified distilled water (pH 4.2), was administered orally at 1400 hr each d. After 13 d of treatment with cimaterol or vehicle (days 1 to 13), all animals were treated with vehicle for a further 7 d (days 14 to 20). On days 1, 13 and 20, blood samples were collected at 20 min-intervals for 4 hr before and 8 hr after cimaterol or vehicle dosing. All samples were assayed for growth hormone (GH) and insulin, while samples taken at -4, -2, 0, +2, +4, +6 and +8 hr relative to dosing were assayed for thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), cortisol, urea, glucose and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Samples taken at -3 and +3 hr relative to dosing were assayed for IGF-I only. On day 1, cimaterol acutely reduced (P less than .05) GH and urea concentrations (7.6 vs 2.9 +/- 1.4 ng/ml; and 6.0 vs 4.9 +/- 0.45 mmol/l, respectively; mean control vs mean treated +/- pooled standard error of difference), and increased (P less than .05) NEFA, glucose and insulin concentrations (160 vs 276 +/- 22 mumol/l, 4.1 vs 6.2 +/- 0.15 mmol/l and 29.9 vs 179.7 +/- 13.9 microU/ml, respectively). Plasma IGF-I, T3, T4 and cortisol concentrations were not altered by treatment. On day 13, cimaterol increased (P less than .05) GH and NEFA concentrations (7.7 vs 14.5 +/- 1.4 ng/ml and 202 vs 310 +/- 22 mEq/l, respectively) and reduced (P less than .05) plasma IGF-I concentrations (1296 vs 776 +/- 227 ng/ml). Seven-d withdrawal of cimaterol (day 20) returned hormone and metabolite concentrations to control values. It is concluded that: 1) cimaterol acutely increased insulin, glucose and NEFA and decreased GH and urea concentrations, 2) cimaterol chronically increased GH and NEFA and decreased IGF-I concentrations, and 3) there was no residual effect of cimaterol following a 7-d withdrawal period.

Abstract
Chronic administration (21 days) of the beta agonist cimaterol to rats decreased epididymal fat by 27%, and inhibited in vitro rates of protein synthesis by 34% and net protein breakdown by 71% in adipose tissue. Likewise, incubation of rat adipose tissue with cimaterol and isoproterenol stimulated lipolysis, and inhibited protein synthesis and degradation. Thus, in addition to affecting muscle mass and lipid metabolism, beta agonists appear to slow rates of protein turnover in adipose tissue.
