Abstract
Obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (DM) leads to adipose tissue dysfunction. Lumican is a proteoglycan implicated in obesity, insulin resistance (IR), and adipocyte dysfunction. Using human visceral adipose tissue (VAT) from subjects with and without DM, we studied lumican effects on adipocyte function. Lumican was increased in VAT and adipocytes in DM. Lumican knockdown in adipocytes decreased lipolysis and improved adipogenesis and insulin sensitivity in VAT adipocytes in DM, while treatment with human recombinant lumican increased lipolysis and impaired insulin-sensitivity in an ERK-dependent manner. We demonstrate that lumican impairs adipocyte metabolism, partially via ERK signalling, and is a potential target for developing adipose tissue-targeted therapeutics in DM.

Human CD206+ macrophages associate with diabetes and adipose tissue lymphoid clusters. JCI Insight 2022; 7:146563.

Abstract
Increased adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) correlate with metabolic dysfunction in humans and are causal in development of insulin resistance in mice. Recent bulk and single-cell transcriptomics studies reveal a wide spectrum of gene expression signatures possible for macrophages that depends on context, but the signatures of human ATM subtypes are not well defined in obesity and diabetes. We profiled 3 prominent ATM subtypes from human adipose tissue in obesity and determined their relationship to type 2 diabetes. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and s.c. adipose tissue (SAT) samples were collected from diabetic and nondiabetic obese participants to evaluate cellular content and gene expression. VAT CD206+CD11c- ATMs were increased in diabetic participants, were scavenger receptor-rich with low intracellular lipids, secreted proinflammatory cytokines, and diverged significantly from 2 CD11c+ ATM subtypes, which were lipid-laden, were lipid antigen presenting, and overlapped with monocyte signatures. Furthermore, diabetic VAT was enriched for CD206+CD11c- ATM and inflammatory signatures, scavenger receptors, and MHC II antigen presentation genes. VAT immunostaining found CD206+CD11c- ATMs concentrated in vascularized lymphoid clusters adjacent to CD206-CD11c+ ATMs, while CD206+CD11c+ were distributed between adipocytes. Our results show ATM subtype-specific profiles that uniquely contribute to the phenotypic variation in obesity.

Weight Regain in Formerly Obese Mice Hastens Development of Hepatic Steatosis Due to Impaired Adipose Tissue Function. Obesity (Silver Spring) 2020; 28:1086-1097. [PMID: 32281747 PMCID: PMC7245566 DOI: 10.1002/oby.22788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Revised: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Weight regain after weight loss is common, and there is evidence to suggest negative effects on health because of weight cycling. This study sought to investigate the impact of weight regain in formerly obese mice on adipose tissue architecture and stromal cell function. METHODS A diet-switch model was employed for obesity induction, weight loss, and weight regain in mice. Flow cytometry quantified adipose tissue leukocytes in adipose tissue. Liver and adipose tissue depots were compared to determine tissue-specific effects of weight cycling. RESULTS Epididymal white adipose tissue of formerly obese mice failed to expand in response to repeat exposure to high-fat diet and retained elevated numbers of macrophages and T cells. Weight regain was associated with disproportionally elevated liver mass, hepatic triglyceride content, serum insulin concentration, and serum transaminase concentration. These effects occurred despite an extended 6-month weight loss cycle and they demonstrate that formerly obese mice maintain durable alterations in their physiological response to weight regain. Conditioned media from epididymal adipose tissue of formerly obese mice inhibited adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, suggesting a potential mechanism to explain failed epididymal adipose tissue expansion during weight regain. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic abnormalities related to defects in adipose tissue expansion and ongoing dysfunction manifest in formerly obese mice during weight regain.

Abstract
Predictors of weight loss responses are not well-defined. We hypothesized that adipose tissue phenotypic features related to remodeling would be associated with bariatric surgery weight loss responses. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues collected from patients during bariatric surgery were studied with flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and QRTPCR, and results correlated with weight loss outcomes. Age, male sex, and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes were associated with less weight loss. Adipocyte size was increased and preadipocyte frequency was decreased in visceral adipose tissue from diabetic subjects. Decreased adipose tissue preadipocyte frequency was associated with less weight loss in women but not men. These data suggest that phenotypic features of adipose tissue remodeling may predict responses to weight loss interventions.

Macrophage Proliferation Sustains Adipose Tissue Inflammation in Formerly Obese Mice. Diabetes 2017; 66:392-406.

Abstract
Obesity causes dramatic proinflammatory changes in the adipose tissue immune environment, but relatively little is known regarding how this inflammation responds to weight loss (WL). To understand the mechanisms by which meta-inflammation resolves during WL, we examined adipose tissue leukocytes in mice after withdrawal of a high-fat diet. After 8 weeks of WL, mice achieved similar weights and glucose tolerance values as age-matched lean controls but showed abnormal insulin tolerance. Despite fat mass normalization, total and CD11c+ adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) content remained elevated in WL mice for up to 6 months and was associated with persistent fibrosis in adipose tissue. ATMs in formerly obese mice demonstrated a proinflammatory profile, including elevated expression of interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β. T-cell-deficient Rag1-/- mice showed a degree of ATM persistence similar to that in WT mice, but with reduced inflammatory gene expression. ATM proliferation was identified as the predominant mechanism by which ATMs are retained in adipose tissue with WL. Our study suggests that WL does not completely resolve obesity-induced ATM activation, which may contribute to the persistent adipose tissue damage and reduced insulin sensitivity observed in formerly obese mice.

Abstract
The proinflammatory activation of leukocytes in adipose tissue contributes to metabolic disease. How crosstalk between immune cells initiates and sustains adipose tissue inflammation remains an unresolved question. We have examined the hypothesis that adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) interact with and regulate the function of T cells. Dietary obesity was shown to activate the proliferation of effector memory CD4(+) T cells in adipose tissue. Our studies further demonstrate that ATMs are functional antigen-presenting cells that promote the proliferation of interferon-γ-producing CD4(+) T cells in adipose tissue. ATMs from lean and obese visceral fat process and present major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted antigens. ATMs were sufficient to promote proliferation and interferon-γ production from antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells in vitro and in vivo. Diet-induced obesity increased the expression of MHC II and T-cell costimulatory molecules on ATMs in visceral fat, which correlated with an induction of T-cell proliferation in that depot. Collectively, these data indicate that ATMs provide a functional link between the innate and adaptive immune systems within visceral fat in mice.

Abstract
Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) play a critical role in obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. Distinct subtypes of ATMs have been identified that differentially express macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 1 (MGL1/CD301), a marker of alternatively activated macrophages. To evaluate if MGL1 is required for the anti-inflammatory function of resident (type 2) MGL1(+) ATMs, we examined the effects of diet-induced obesity (DIO) on inflammation and metabolism in Mgl1(-/-) mice. We found that Mgl1 is not required for the trafficking of type 2 ATMs to adipose tissue. Surprisingly, obese Mgl1(-/-) mice were protected from glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and steatosis despite having more visceral fat. This protection was caused by a significant decrease in inflammatory (type 1) CD11c(+) ATMs in the visceral adipose tissue of Mgl1(-/-) mice. MGL1 was expressed specifically in 7/4(hi) inflammatory monocytes in the blood and obese Mgl1(-/-) mice had lower levels of 7/4(hi) monocytes. Mgl1(-/-) monocytes had decreased half-life after adoptive transfer and demonstrated decreased adhesion to adipocytes indicating a role for MGL1 in the regulation of monocyte function. This study identifies MGL1 as a novel regulator of inflammatory monocyte trafficking to adipose tissue in response to DIO.

The protein kinase IKKepsilon regulates energy balance in obese mice. Cell 2009; 138:961-75.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation that negatively impacts insulin sensitivity. Here, we show that high-fat diet can increase NF-kappaB activation in mice, which leads to a sustained elevation in level of IkappaB kinase epsilon (IKKepsilon) in liver, adipocytes, and adipose tissue macrophages. IKKepsilon knockout mice are protected from high-fat diet-induced obesity, chronic inflammation in liver and fat, hepatic steatosis, and whole-body insulin resistance. These mice show increased energy expenditure and thermogenesis via enhanced expression of the uncoupling protein UCP1. They maintain insulin sensitivity in liver and fat, without activation of the proinflammatory JNK pathway. Gene expression analyses indicate that IKKepsilon knockout reduces expression of inflammatory cytokines, and changes expression of certain regulatory proteins and enzymes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Thus, IKKepsilon may represent an attractive therapeutic target for obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and other complications associated with these disorders.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) plays an important role in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Insulin promotes the production of PI(3)P at the plasma membrane by a process dependent on TC10 activation. Here, we report that insulin-stimulated PI(3)P production requires the activation of Rab5, a small GTPase that plays a critical role in phosphoinositide synthesis and turnover. This activation occurs at the plasma membrane and is downstream of TC10. TC10 stimulates Rab5 activity via the recruitment of GAPEX-5, a VPS9 domain-containing guanyl nucleotide exchange factor that forms a complex with TC10. Although overexpression of plasma membrane-localized GAPEX-5 or constitutively active Rab5 promotes PI(3)P formation, knockdown of GAPEX-5 or overexpression of a dominant negative Rab5 mutant blocks the effects of insulin or TC10 on this process. Concomitant with its effect on PI(3)P levels, the knockdown of GAPEX-5 blocks insulin-stimulated Glut4 translocation and glucose uptake. Together, these studies suggest that the TC10/GAPEX-5/Rab5 axis mediates insulin-stimulated production of PI(3)P, which regulates trafficking of Glut4 vesicles.

Abstract
Hypoviruses persistently alter multiple phenotypic traits, stably modify gene expression, and attenuate virulence (hypovirulence) of their pathogenic fungal host, the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica. The pleiotropic nature of these changes is consistent with hypovirus-mediated perturbation of one or more cellular signal transduction pathways. We now report that two hypoviruses that differ in the severity of symptom expression differentially perturb specific cellular signaling pathways. The C. parasitica 13-1 gene, originally identified as a hypovirus-inducible and cyclic AMP (cAMP)-regulated gene, was used to design a promoter-GFP reporter construct with which to monitor perturbation of cAMP-mediated signaling. Virus-mediated modulation of calcium/calmodulin/inositol trisphosphate-dependent signaling was monitored by measuring transcript accumulation from the C. parasitica laccase gene, lac-1. Infection by the severe hypovirus strain CHV1-EP713 caused a substantial induction of 13-1 promoter activity and a reduction of total extracellular laccase enzymatic activity (LAC-1 and LAC-3). In contrast, 13-1 promoter activity and total laccase activity were only marginally altered upon infection with the mild hypovirus strain CHV1-Euro7. However, examination of lac-1-specific transcript accumulation under previously defined culture conditions revealed that both CHV1-EP713 and CHV1-Euro7 perturbed calcium/calmodulin/inositol trisphosphate-dependent signaling. CHV1-EP713/CHV1-Euro7 chimeric viruses were used to map viral determinants responsible for modulation of cAMP-dependent signaling to domains within the central portion of the second open reading frame.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cryphonectria cubensis is the causal agent of a serious canker disease of Eucalyptus spp. in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. In this study, a South African C. cubensis isolate was transfected by electroporation with a synthetic RNA transcript corresponding to the full-length coding strand of the C. parasitica hypovirus (CHV1-EP713). Hypovirus infection resulted in pronounced morphological changes that included a striking increase in bright yellow-orange pigment production, a reduction in mycelial growth rate, and reduced sporulation. Greenhouse studies revealed that the virus-containing strain was significantly less virulent than the original virulent C. cubensis isolate. Although the hypovirus was not transmitted through conidia produced by infected C. cubensis, the virus was readily transmitted via hyphal anastomosis to C. cubensis isolates representing a broad range of vegetative compatibility groups. These results suggest that vegetative incompatibility may not pose a strong barrier against virus transmission in South African isolates of C. cubensis and that hypovirus-mediated biological control could provide opportunities to reduce the impact of Cryphonectria canker in South Africa.

Abstract
We have investigated whether hypoviruses, viral agents responsible for virulence attenuation (hypovirulence) of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, could serve as gene expression vectors. The infectious cDNA clone of the prototypic hypovirus CHV1-EP713 was modified to generate 20 different vector candidates. Although transient expression was achieved for a subset of vectors that contained the green fluorescent protein gene from Aequorea victoria, long-term expression (past day 8) was not observed for any vector construct. Analysis of viral RNAs recovered from transfected fungal colonies revealed that the foreign genes were readily deleted from the replicating virus, although small portions of foreign sequences were retained by some vectors after months of replication. However, the results of vector viability and progeny characterization provided unexpected new insights into essential and dispensable elements of hypovirus replication. The N-terminal portion (codons 1 to 24) of the 5'-proximal open reading frame (ORF), ORF A, was found to be required for virus replication, while the remaining 598 codons of this ORF were completely dispensable. Substantial alterations were tolerated in the pentanucleotide UAAUG that contains the ORF A termination codon and the overlapping putative initiation codon of the second of the two hypovirus ORFs, ORF B. Replication competence was maintained following either a frameshift mutation that caused a two-codon extension of ORF A or a modification that produced a single-ORF genomic organization. These results are discussed in terms of determinants of hypovirus replication, the potential utility of hypoviruses as gene expression vectors, and possible mechanisms by which hypoviruses recognize and delete foreign sequences.

Abstract
Infectious cDNA clones of mild (CHV1-Euro7) and severe (CHV1-EP713) hypovirus strains responsible for virulence attenuation (hypovirulence) of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica were used to construct viable chimeric viruses. Differences in virus-mediated alterations of fungal colony morphology, growth rate, and canker morphology were mapped to a region of open reading frame B extending from nucleotides 2,363 to 9, 904. By swapping domains within this region, it was possible to generate chimeric hypovirus-infected C. parasitica isolates that exhibited a spectrum of defined colony and canker morphologies. Several severe strain traits were observed to be dominant. It was also possible to uncouple the severe strain traits of small canker size and suppression of asexual sporulation. For example, fungal isolates infected with a chimera containing nucleotides 2363 through 5310 from CHV1-Euro7 in a CHV1-713 background formed small cankers that were similar in size to that caused by CHV1-EP713-infected isolates but with the capacity for producing asexual spores at levels approaching that observed for fungal isolates infected with the mild strain. These results demonstrate that hypoviruses can be engineered to fine-tune the interaction between a pathogenic fungus and its plant host. The identification of specific hypovirus domains that differentially contribute to canker morphology and sporulation levels also provides considerable utility for continuing efforts to enhance biological control potential by balancing hypovirulence and ecological fitness.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Strains of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, have been genetically engineered to contain an integrated full-length cDNA copy of the prototypic virulence-attenuating hypovirus CHV1-EP713. Unlike natural hypovirulent C. parasitica strains, these transgenic hypovirulent strains are able to transmit virus to ascospore progeny under laboratory conditions. This ability provides the potential to circumvent barriers to cytoplasmic virus transmission imposed by the fungal vegetative incompatibility system. During July 1994, transgenic hypovirulent strains were introduced into a Connecticut forest site (Biotechnology Permit 94-010-01). Subsequent analysis of the release site confirmed hypovirus transmission from transgenic hypovirulent strains to ascospore progeny under field conditions. Additionally, it was possible to recover transgenic hypovirulent strains from the test site as long as 2 years after the limited, single-season release. Evidence also was obtained for cytoplasmic transmission of transgenic cDNA-derived hypovirus RNA, including transmission to mycelia of a virulent C. parasitica canker after treatment with conidia of a transgenic strain. Finally, a transgenic hypovirulent strain was recovered from a superficial canker formed on an untreated chestnut tree. Genetic characteristics of the recovered strain suggested that the canker was initiated by an ascospore progeny derived from a cross involving an input transgenic hypovirulent strain. The durability of a molecular marker for field-released cDNA-derived hypovirus RNA is discussed.

Abstract
The effect of temperature on the response of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Rutgers) to infections with the necrogenic cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite D-CARNA 5 was investigated with each of four CMV strains D, 1, Y and S functioning as helper virus. At 24 degrees C lethal necrosis was observed in all infections. However, at 32 degrees C the response varied from total absence or reduction of necrosis with some strains to accelerated lethal necrosis with others. The total lack of necrotic response with CMV-S and the aggravated necrosis with CMV-Y at the higher temperature both turned out to be independent of the coinfecting satellite, and rather to correlate with the changing rate of viral RNA accumulation in tomato, which probably was responsible for the changes in pathogenic response. However, when CMV-D was helper virus, satellite accumulation decreased, while with CMV-1 it increased, respectively, while viral RNA accumulations were not seriously affected. Although these profound effects of temperature seem to link the necrotic response of tomato to the competitive replication dynamics of the infecting virus/satellite combination in the case of CMV-D/D-CARNA 5, temperature effects at other levels of disease induction probably play an important role as well.

Abstract
Lethal necrosis development in tomato plants infected with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strain D containing the necrogenic satellite D-CARNA 5 and held at 32 degrees C is shown to be impaired. CARNA 5 accumulation in tomato at 32 degrees C is reduced about 100-fold compared to accumulation in plants held at 24 degrees C, while viral RNA accumulation is reduced about 5-fold. CMV-infected tomato held for 3 days at 24 degrees C prior to shift to 32 degrees C do not develop lethal necrosis. Longer incubations at 24 degrees C prior to shift to 32 degrees C allow necrosis to develop. CMV-infected plants held for up to 4 weeks at 32 degrees C required an additional 8-10 days at 24 degrees C to develop necrosis. Necrogenic CMV-infected plants held at 24 degrees C and analyzed 3 days p.i. contained detectable amounts of ss- and ds-CARNA 5; upon shift to 32 degrees C, such CARNA 5 declined to undetectable levels and lethal necrosis did not occur. There appear to be temperature-sensitive factors that are required for efficient satellite replication which are not required for efficient viral RNA replication. Whether these factor(s) are of host or satellite origin is uncertain.

Abstract
In tomato, the disease-modulating effects of a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite isolate from Belgium, here designated T-CARNA-5 (CARNA-5 = CMV-associated RNA-5), were found to be different depending on the supporting helper virus strain. With two CMV strains, T-CARNA-5 induced lethal necrosis, but with a third strain from Ixora spp. (CMV-Ix), aggravated stunting was observed. However, the primary structure of the T-CARNA-5 contained within virus isolated from tobacco or tomato infected with each of these three CMV strains, conformed to the conserved sequence profile of CARNA-5 isolates which are necrogenic in tomato. Dilution endpoint bioassay of T-CARNA-5 established a direct cause-effect relationship between it and tomato necrosis or stunting, depending on the helper virus. Total nucleic acid extracts taken at different times from tomato plants infected with the above CMV strains and T- or S-CARNA-5 (used as non-necrogenic control) showed viral RNA, ssCARNA-5 and dsCARNA-5 to be present in significant amounts, but in sometimes dissimilar proportions depending on the combination; except in CMV-Ix/S-CARNA-5 infection where neither ss-nor dsCARNA-5 was found. The experiments established that CARNA-5 biological expression studies in CMV-infected tomato have to take into account the helper virus satellite replication support function, which may be a primary codeterminant of quantitative or qualitative differences in the symptom modulation observed.
