概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors increase urinary glucose excretion (UGE), leading t o blood glucose reductions and weight loss. However, the impacts of SGLT2 inhibition on energy homeostasis and obesity-induced insulin resistance are less well known. Here, we show that empagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, enhanced energy expenditure and attenuated inflammation and insulin resistance in high-fat-diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. C57BL/6J mice were pair-fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or a HFD with empagliflozin for 16 weeks. Empagliflozin administration increased UGE in the DIO mice, whereas it suppressed HFD-induced weight gain, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis. Moreover, empagliflozin shifted energy metabolism towards fat utilization, elevated AMP-activated protein kinase and acetyl-CoA carbolxylase phosphorylation in skeletal muscle, and increased hepatic and plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 levels. Importantly, empagliflozin increased energy expenditure, heat production, and the expression of uncoupling protein 1 in brown fat and in inguinal and epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT). Furthermore, empagliflozin reduced M1-polarized macrophage accumulation while inducing the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype of macrophages within WAT and liver, lowering plasma TNFα levels and attenuating obesity-related chronic inflammation. Thus, empagliflozin suppressed weight gain by enhancing fat utilization and browning and attenuated obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance by polarizing M2 macrophages in WAT and liver. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by ectopic fat accumulation in the liver. NAFLD i s associated with hepatic inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced fibrosis. Placental extracts have been used to treat various chronic diseases due to their antioxidative effect. However, the effects of the extracts on the development of NASH have yet to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that supplementation with an oral porcine placental extract (PPE) attenuated lipid accumulation and peroxidation, insulin resistance, inflammatory and stress signaling, and fibrogenesis in the liver of NASH model mice fed a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet. The PPE reduced the number of M1-like liver macrophages, but increased the number of anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophages, resulting in a predominance of M2 over M1 macrophage populations in the liver of NASH mice. Accordingly, the PPE suppressed lipopolysaccharide-induced M1 polarization in isolated murine peritoneal macrophages, whereas it facilitated interleukin 4-induced M2 polarization. Furthermore, the PPE reduced the hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation associated with the attenuated transforming growth factor-β/Smad3 signaling, both in the liver of NASH mice and in RI-T cells, a HSC line. The PPE may be a potential approach to prevent NASH by limiting lipid peroxidation, promoting M2 macrophage polarization, and attenuating HSC activation. © Xu et al. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Obesity is a low-grade sustained inflammatory state that causes oxidative stress in different metabo lic tissues, which leads to insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Particularly, obesity-induced metabolic endotoxemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and inflammation. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key regulator of antioxidant signaling that serves as a primary cellular defense against the cytotoxic effects of oxidative stress. Pharmacological stimulation of Nrf2 mitigates obesity and insulin resistance in mice; however, Nrf2 activators are not clinically available due to biosafety concerns. A recent study demonstrated that glucoraphanin, a precursor of the Nrf2 activator sulforaphane, ameliorates obesity by enhancing energy expenditure and browning of white adipose tissue, and attenuates obesity-related inflammation and insulin resistance by polarizing M2 macrophages and reducing metabolic endotoxemia. Thus, this review focuses on the efficiency and safety of glucoraphanin in alleviating obesity, insulin resistance, and NAFLD.<br />Embargo Period 12 months 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医学系細胞分子機能学<br />Metabolic endotoxemia is a condition in which blood lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels are elevated, re gardless of the presence of obvious infection. It has been suggested to lead to chronic inflammation-related diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), pancreatitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, it has attracted attention as a target for the prevention and treatment of these chronic diseases. As metabolic endotoxemia was first reported in mice that were fed a high-fat diet, research regarding its relationship with diets has been actively conducted in humans and animals. In this review, we summarize the relationship between fat intake and induction of metabolic endotoxemia, focusing on gut dysbiosis and the influx, kinetics, and metabolism of LPS. We also summarize the recent findings about dietary factors that attenuate metabolic endotoxemia, focusing on the regulation of gut microbiota. We hope that in the future, control of metabolic endotoxemia using dietary factors will help maintain human health. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />非アルコール性脂肪肝炎(NASH)は、異所性脂肪蓄積から生じるインスリン抵抗性や慢性炎症を病態基盤とし、肝硬変・肝がんへと進行する。本研究では、身近な食品素材で強い抗酸化作用を持つカロテノイドのβ-ク リプトキサンチンとアスタキサンチンに着目し、NASHへの有効性と安全性を検証した。独自に開発したモデル動物に対し、β-クリプトキサンチンは、肝臓のクッパー細胞やT細胞の浸潤抑制という炎症への作用を主として、アスタキサンチンは肝臓の脂質過酸化の抑制を主たる作用として、NASHを抑制した。カロテノイドは治療法の確立されていないNASHを予防・抑制する新たなNutraceuticalとして期待される。<br />Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease. It is characterized by a wide spectrum of hepatic changes, which may progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. Carotenoids are potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory micronutrients that have been used to prevent and treat NAFLD. In addition to their antioxidative action, carotenoids can regulate macrophage polarization and thereby halt the progression of NASH. In this study, we found the novel molecular mechanisms of macrophage polarization and the function of liver macrophages/Kupffer cells in NAFLD. We propose that dietary carotenoids, such as β-cryptoxanthin and astaxanthin, can be as a novel nutraceutical and be used to prevent or treat NAFLD through the regulation of macrophage polarization and liver homeostasis.<br />研究課題/領域番号:25282017, 研究期間(年度):2013-04-01 – 2016-03-31 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学フロンティアサイエンス機構<br />肥満による炎症とインスリン抵抗性の誘導にMCP-1-CCR2非依存性の未知のケモカインシグナルが関与している可能性がある。肥満モデルの脂肪組織では野生型マウス(WT)に比し、CCR5とそのリガン ドの発現が増加していた。高脂肪食を摂取したCCR5欠損マウスは、耐糖能異常と肝脂肪蓄積に抵抗性を示した。肥満モデルの脂肪組織におけるCCR5+マクロファージ(ATM)細胞数は著明に増加していた。一方、肥満のCCR5欠損マウスははWTに比しATMの総数は減少し、M1からM2優位へとATM表現型の転換を認めた。肥満により脂肪組織ではCCR5+ATMの浸潤・集積が増加する。また、CCR5欠損によるインスリン抵抗性の減弱にATMの量の低下のみならず質的変化、つまりM1からM2へとダイナミックなATMの表現型シフトが寄与しうる。<br />Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and its receptor CCR2 are pivotal for adipose tissue macrophage(ATM) recruitment and the development of insulin resistance. However, other chemokine systems may also play a role in these processes. In this study, we investigated the role of CCR5 in obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. We analyzed expression levels of CCR5 and its ligands in white adipose tissue(WAT) of genetically(ob/ob) and high-fat(HF) diet-induced obese(DIO) mice. CCR5 and its ligands were markedly upregulated in WAT of DIO and ob/ob mice. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis also revealed that DIO mice had a robust increase in CCR5+cells within ATMs compared with chow-fed mice. Furthermore, Ccr5-/-mice were protected from insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and hepatic steatosis induced by HF feeding. The effects of loss of CCR5 were related to both reduction of total ATM content and an M2 dominant shift in ATM polarization. Thus, CCR5 plays a critical role in ATM recruitment and polarization and subsequent development of insulin resistance.<br />研究課題/領域番号:22790854, 研究期間(年度):2010-2011 続きを見る
