BAT‐controlled thermogenic activity is thought to be required for its capacity to prevent the development of insulin resistance. This hypothesis predicts that mediators of thermogenesis may help prevent diet‐induced insulin resistance. We report that the mitochondrial fusion protein Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) in BAT is essential for cold‐stimulated thermogenesis, but promotes insulin resistance in obese mice. Mfn2 deletion in mice through Ucp1‐cre (BAT‐Mfn2‐KO) causes BAT lipohypertrophy and cold intolerance. Surprisingly however, deletion of Mfn2 in mice fed a high fat diet (HFD) results in improved insulin sensitivity and resistance to obesity, while impaired cold‐stimulated thermogenesis is maintained. Improvement in insulin sensitivity is associated with a gender‐specific remodeling of BAT mitochondrial function. In females, BAT mitochondria increase their efficiency for ATP‐synthesizing fat oxidation, whereas in BAT from males, complex I‐driven respiration is decreased and glycolytic capacity is increased. Thus, BAT adaptation to obesity is regulated by Mfn2 and with BAT‐Mfn2 absent, BAT contribution to prevention of insulin resistance is independent and inversely correlated to whole‐body cold‐stimulated thermogenesis. 相似文献

Connexin 43 (Cx43) is present at the sarcolemma and the inner membrane of cardiomyocyte subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM). Lack or inhibition of mitochondrial Cx43 is associated with reduced mitochondrial potassium influx, which might affect mitochondrial respiration. Therefore, we analysed the importance of mitochondrial Cx43 for oxygen consumption. Acute inhibition of Cx43 in rat left ventricular (LV) SSM by 18α glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) or Cx43 mimetic peptides (Cx43-MP) reduced ADP-stimulated complex I respiration and ATP generation. Chronic reduction of Cx43 in conditional knockout mice (Cx43(Cre-ER(T)/fl) + 4-OHT, 5-10% of Cx43 protein compared with control Cx43(fl/fl) mitochondria) reduced ADP-stimulated complex I respiration of LV SSM to 47.8 ± 2.4 nmol O(2)/min.*mg protein (n = 8) from 61.9 ± 7.4 nmol O(2)/min.*mg protein in Cx43(fl/fl) mitochondria (n = 10, P < 0.05), while complex II respiration remained unchanged. The LV complex I activities (% of citrate synthase activity) of Cx43(Cre-ER(T)/fl) +4-OHT mice (16.1 ± 0.9%, n = 9) were lower than in Cx43(fl/fl) mice (19.8 ± 1.3%, n = 8, P < 0.05); complex II activities were similar between genotypes. Supporting the importance of Cx43 for respiration, in Cx43-overexpressing HL-1 cardiomyocytes complex I respiration was increased, whereas complex II respiration remained unaffected. Taken together, mitochondrial Cx43 is required for optimal complex I activity and respiration and thus mitochondrial ATP-production. 相似文献

Lack of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 upregulates basal thermogenesis but causes hypothermia in a cold environment 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a microsomal enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of oleate and palmitoleate. Mice with a targeted disruption of the SCD1 isoform (SCD1-/-) exhibit reduced adiposity and increased energy expenditure. To address whether the energy expenditure is attributable to increased thermogenesis, we investigated the effect of SCD1 deficiency on basal and cold-induced thermogenesis. SCD1-/- mice have increased expression of uncoupling proteins in brown adipose tissue (BAT) relative to controls. The beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR) expression was increased and the phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein and the protein level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha were increased in the SCD1-/- mice. Both lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation were increased in the SCD1-/- mice. When exposed to 4 degrees C, SCD1-/- mice showed hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and depleted liver glycogen. High levels of dietary oleate partially compensated for the hypothermia and rescued plasma glucose and liver glycogen. These results suggest that SCD1 deficiency stimulates basal thermogenesis through the upregulation of the beta3-AR-mediated pathway and a subsequent increase in lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation in BAT. The hypothermia and hypoglycemia in cold-exposed SCD1-/- mice and the compensatory recovery by oleate indicate an important role of SCD1 gene expression in thermoregulation. 相似文献

Mice having targeted inactivation of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) are cold sensitive but not obese (Enerb?ck S, Jacobsson A, Simpson EM, Guerra C, Yamashita H, Harper M-E, and Kozak LP. Nature 387: 90-94, 1997). Recently, we have shown that proton leak in brown adipose tissue (BAT) mitochondria from UCP1-deficient mice is insensitive to guanosine diphosphate (GDP), a well known inhibitor of UCP1 activity (Monemdjou S, Kozak LP, and Harper M-E. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 276: E1073-E1082, 1999). Moreover, despite a fivefold increase of UCP2 mRNA in BAT of UCP1-deficient mice, we found no differences in the overall kinetics of this GDP-insensitive proton leak between UCP1-deficient mice and controls. Based on these findings, which show no adaptive increase in UCP1-independent leak in BAT, we hypothesized that adaptive thermogenesis may be occurring in other tissues of the UCP1-deficient mouse (e.g., skeletal muscle), thus allowing them to maintain their normal resting metabolic rate, feed efficiency, and adiposity. Here, we report on the overall kinetics of the mitochondrial proton leak, respiratory chain, and ATP turnover in skeletal muscle mitochondria from UCP1-deficient and heterozygous control mice. Over a range of mitochondrial protonmotive force (Deltap) values, leak-dependent oxygen consumption is higher in UCP1-deficient mice compared with controls. State 4 (maximal leak-dependent) respiration rates are also significantly higher in the mitochondria of mice deficient in UCP1, whereas state 4 Deltap is significantly lower. No significant differences in state 3 respiration rates or Deltap values were detected between the two groups. Thus the altered kinetics of the mitochondrial proton leak in skeletal muscle of UCP1-deficient mice indicate a thermogenic mechanism favoring the lean phenotype of the UCP1-deficient mouse. 相似文献

Patients with mutations in the mitochondrial very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) gene are at risk for cardiomyopathy, myocardial dysfunction, ventricular tachycardia (VT), and sudden cardiac death. The mechanism is not known. Here we report a novel mechanism of VT in mice lacking VLCAD (VLCAD(-/-)). These mice exhibited polymorphic VT and increased incidence of VT after isoproterenol infusion. Polymorphic VT was induced in 10 out of 12 VLCAD(-/-) mice (83%) when isoproterenol was used. One out of 10 VLCAD(-/-) mice with polymorphic VT had VT with the typical bidirectional morphology. At the molecular level, VLCAD(-/-) cardiomyocytes showed increased levels of cardiac ryanodine receptor 2, phospholamban, and calsequestrin with increased [(3)H]ryanodine binding in heart microsomes. At the single cardiomyocyte level, VLCAD(-/-) cardiomyocytes showed significant increase in diastolic indo 1 and fura 2 fluorescence, with increased Ca(2+) transient amplitude. These changes were associated with altered Ca(2+) dynamics, to include: faster sarcomere contraction, larger time derivative of the upstroke, and shorter time-to-minimum sarcomere length compared with VLCAD(+/+) control cells. The L-type Ca(2+) current characteristics were not different under voltage-clamp conditions in the two VLCAD genotypes. Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) load measured as normalized integrated Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange current after rapid caffeine application was increased by 48% in VLCAD(-/-) cells. We conclude that intracellular Ca(2+) handling represents a possible molecular mechanism of arrhythmias in mice and perhaps in VLCAD-deficient humans. 相似文献

Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency (VLCADD) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation usually identified through newborn screening. Genotype-phenotype correlations have been defined, but considerable clinical heterogeneity still exists. Symptoms are often induced by physiological stress such as fasting or intercurrent illness, setting it as an important example of environmental effects altering clinical course in an individual with a genetic disease. However, neither the cellular changes that predispose to this phenomenon nor the alterations it induces are well characterized. We examined the effects of fasting in a knockout mouse model to explore changes in global mitochondria protein profiles in liver and to investigate the physiologically relevant changes that lead to the clinical presentations. An isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling approach was employed to examine mitochondrial proteome changes in VLCAD deficient compared to wild type mice in the fed and fasted states. We identified numerous proteomic changes associated with the gene defect and fasting within relevant metabolic pathways. Few changes induced by fasting were shared between the VLCAD deficient and wild type mice, with more alterations found in the deficient mice on fasting. Particularly, fasting in the deficient mice could reverse the protective response in oxidative phosphorylation pathway seen in wild type animals. In addition, we found that changes in chaperone proteins including heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) and 10 (HSP10) during fasting differed between the two genotypes, highlighting the importance of these proteins in VLCAD deficiency. Finally, the effects on the liver proteome imposed by changes in fasted VLCAD deficient mice indicates that this environmental factor may be an inducer of both cellular and physiological changes. 相似文献

In thermogenic brown adipose tissue, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) catalyzes the dissipation of mitochondrial proton motive force as heat. In a cellular environment of high oxidative capacity such as brown adipose tissue (BAT), mitochondrial uncoupling could also reduce deleterious reactive oxygen species, but the specific involvement of UCP1 in this process is disputed. By comparing brown adipose tissue mitochondria of wild type mice and UCP1-ablated litter mates, we show that UCP1 potently reduces mitochondrial superoxide production after cold acclimation and during fatty acid oxidation. We address the sites of superoxide production and suggest diminished probability of “reverse electron transport” facilitated by uncoupled respiration as the underlying mechanism of reactive oxygen species suppression in BAT. Furthermore, ablation of UCP1 represses the cold-stimulated increase of substrate oxidation normally seen in active BAT, resulting in lower superoxide production, presumably avoiding deleterious oxidative damage. We conclude that UCP1 allows high oxidative capacity without promoting oxidative damage by simultaneously lowering superoxide production. 相似文献

Long-chain acylcarnitines accumulate in long-chain fatty acid oxidation defects, especially during periods of increased energy demand from fat. To test whether this increase in long-chain acylcarnitines in very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD(-/-)) knock-out mice correlates with acyl-CoA content, we subjected wild-type (WT) and VLCAD(-/-) mice to forced treadmill running and analyzed muscle long-chain acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in the same tissues. After exercise, long-chain acyl-CoA displayed a significant increase in muscle from VLCAD(-/-) mice [C16:0-CoA, C18:2-CoA and C18:1-CoA in sedentary VLCAD(-/-): 5.95 +/- 0.33, 4.48 +/- 0.51, and 7.70 +/- 0.30 nmol x g(-1) wet weight, respectively; in exercised VLCAD(-/-): 8.71 +/- 0.42, 9.03 +/- 0.93, and 14.82 +/- 1.20 nmol x g(-1) wet weight, respectively (P < 0.05)]. Increase in acyl-CoA in VLCAD-deficient muscle was paralleled by a significant increase in the corresponding chain length acylcarnitine. Exercise resulted in significant lowering of the free carnitine pool in VLCAD(-/-) muscle. This is the first study demonstrating that acylcarnitines and acyl-CoA directly correlate and concomitantly increase after exercise in VLCAD-deficient muscle. 相似文献

Loss of nonshivering thermogenesis in mice by inactivation of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein gene (Ucp1-/- mice) causes increased sensitivity to cold and unexpected resistance to diet-induced obesity at a young age. To clarify the role of UCP1 in body weight regulation throughout life and influence of UCP1 deficiency on longevity, we longitudinally analyzed the phenotypes of Ucp1-/- mice maintained in a room at 23 degrees C. There was no difference in body weight and lifespan between genotypes under the standard chow diet condition, whereas the mutant mice developed obesity with age under the high-fat (HF) diet condition. Compared with Ucp1+/+ mice, Ucp1-/- mice showed increased expression of genes related to thermogenesis and fatty acid metabolism, such as beta3-adrenergic receptor, in adipose tissues of the 3-month-old mutants; however, the augmented expression was reduced in Ucp1+/+ mice in 11-month-old Ucp1-/- mice fed the HF diet. Likewise, the increased levels of UCP3 and cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the brown adipose tissue of Ucp1-/- mice given the standard diet were decreased significantly in that of Ucp1-/- mice fed the HF diet, which animals showed impaired norepinephrine-induced lipolysis in their adipose tissues. These results suggest profound attenuation of beta-adrenergic responsiveness and fatty acid utilization in Ucp1-/- mice fed the HF diet, bringing them to late-onset obesity. Our findings provide evidence that UCP1 is neither essential for body weight regulation nor for longevity under conditions of standard diet and normal housing temperature, but deficiency increases susceptibility to obesity with age in combination with HF diet. 相似文献

1. The gerbil (Gerbillus campestris) is a desert rodent able to tolerate high (38 degrees C) and low (-20 degrees C) ambient temperatures, probably due to both its low resting metabolic rate in hot environment and its high peak metabolic rate in cold. 2. Measurement of mitochondrial state IV respiration and cytochrome-oxidase activity (COX) were made in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT), liver and hind limb muscles of gerbils and mice of nearly equal body mass, acclimated for 4 weeks at cold ambient temperature (CA) or reared at thermoneutrality (TN). 3. The most striking difference between these two animal species appears to be in IBAT mitochondria: in TN animals, the level of state IV respiration and COX activity was lower in gerbils than in mice, but the cold acclimation-induced increase in these parameters was greater in gerbils than in mice. 4. Alternatively, in gerbils as in mice, cold acclimation induced a reduction in muscle mitochondrial COX activity. No important change due to cold acclimation was observed in liver mitochondria, either in gerbils or in mice. 5. As compared with mice, the lower state IV respiration in IBAT mitochondria from TN gerbils may explain their low RMR, whereas the higher COX activity of IBAT mitochondria from CA gerbils may explain their higher PMR. 6. As a result of this great adaptability of BAT mitochondria, the gerbil seemed to be able to live in a wide range of ambient temperatures in its natural habitat. 相似文献

Brain mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase: in vitro and in vivo inhibition by chlorpromazine 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Mouse brain mitochondria have a nitric oxide synthase (mtNOS) of 147 kDa that reacts with anti-nNOS antibodies and that shows an enzymatic activity of 0.31-0.48 nmol NO/min mg protein. Addition of chlorpromazine to brain submitochondrial membranes inhibited mtNOS activity (IC50 = 2.0 +/- 0.1 microM). Brain mitochondria isolated from chlorpromazine-treated mice (10 mg/kg, i.p.) show a marked (48%) inhibition of mtNOS activity and a markedly increased state 3 respiration (40 and 29% with malate-glutamate and succinate as substrates, respectively). Respiration of mitochondria isolated from control mice was 16% decreased by arginine and 56% increased by NNA (Nomega-nitro-L-arginine) indicating a regulatory activity of mtNOS and NO on mitochondrial respiration. Similarly, mitochondrial H2O2 production was 55% decreased by NNA. The effect of NNA on mitochondrial respiration and H2O2 production was significantly lower in chlorpromazine-added mitochondria and absent in mitochondria isolated from chlorpromazine-treated mice. Results indicate that chlorpromazine inhibits brain mtNOS activity in vitro and can exert the same action in vivo. 相似文献

Two overlapping cDNA clones (1,991 bp and 736 bp, respectively) encoding the precursor of human mitochondrial very-long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (VLCAD) were cloned and sequenced. The cDNA inserts of these clones together encompass a region of 2,177 bases, encoding the entire protein of 655 amino acids, including a 40-amino acid leader peptide and a 615-amino acid mature polypeptide. PCR-amplified VLCAD cDNAs were sequenced in cultured fibroblasts from two VLCAD-deficient patients. In both patients, a 105-bp deletion encompassing bases 1078-1182 in VLCAD cDNA was identified. The deletion seems to occur due to exon skipping during processing of VLCAD pre-mRNA. This is the first demonstration of a mutation causing VLCAD deficiency. Quantitative cDNA expression of normal human VLCAD was performed in the patients' fibroblasts, using vaccinia viral system, which demonstrated that the deficiency of the normal VLCAD protein causes impaired long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation activity in the patients' fibroblasts. In patient fibroblasts, raising VLCAD activity to approximately 20% of normal control fibroblast activity raised palmitic acid beta-oxidation flux to the level found in control fibroblasts, which may offer important information for the rational design of future somatic gene therapy for VLCAD deficiency. 相似文献

The heart utilizes primarily fatty acids for energy production. During ischemia, however, diminished oxygen supply necessitates a switch from beta-oxidation of fatty acids to glucose utilization and glycolysis. Molecular mechanisms responsible for these alterations in metabolism are not fully understood. Mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenase catalyzes the first committed step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids. In the current study, an in vivo rat model of myocardial ischemia was utilized to determine whether specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenases exhibit ischemia-induced alterations in activity, identify mechanisms responsible for changes in enzyme function, and assess the effects on mitochondrial respiration. Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) activity declined 34% during 30 min of ischemia. Loss in activity appeared specific to VLCAD as medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity remained constant. Loss in VLCAD activity during ischemia was not due to loss in protein content. In addition, activity was restored in the presence of the detergent Triton X-100, suggesting that changes in the interaction between the protein and inner mitochondrial membrane are responsible for ischemia-induced loss in activity. Palmitoyl-carnitine supported ADP-dependent state 3 respiration declined as a result of ischemia. When octanoyl-carnitine was utilized state 3 respiration remained unchanged. State 4 respiration increased during ischemia, an increase that appears specific to fatty acid utilization. Thus, VLCAD represents a likely site for the modulation of substrate utilization during myocardial ischemia. However, the dramatic increase in mitochondrial state 4 respiration would be predicted to accentuate the imbalance between energy production and utilization. 相似文献

Disorders of mitochondrial fat metabolism lead to sudden death in infants and children. Although survival is possible, the underlying molecular mechanisms which enable this outcome have not yet been clearly identified. Here we describe a conserved genetic network linking disorders of mitochondrial fat metabolism in mice to mechanisms of fat storage and survival in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). We have previously documented a mouse model of mitochondrial very-long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency. We originally reported that the mice survived birth, but, upon exposure to cold and fasting stresses, these mice developed cardiac dysfunction, which greatly reduced survival. We used cDNA microarrays to outline the induction of several markers of lipid metabolism in the heart at birth in surviving mice. We hypothesized that the induction of fat metabolism genes in the heart at birth is part of a regulatory feedback circuit that plays a critical role in survival. The present study uses a dual approach employing both C57BL/6 mice and the nematode, C. elegans, to focus on TMEM135, a conserved protein which we have found to be upregulated 4.3 (±0.14)-fold in VLCAD-deficient mice at birth. Our studies have demonstrated that TMEM135 is highly expressed in mitochondria and in fat-loaded tissues in the mouse. Further, when fasting and cold stresses were introduced to mice, we observed 3.25 (±0.03)- and 8.2 (±0.31)-fold increases in TMEM135 expression in the heart, respectively. Additionally, we found that deletion of the tmem135 orthologue in C. elegans caused a 41.8% (±2.8%) reduction in fat stores, a reduction in mitochondrial action potential and decreased longevity of the worm. In stark contrast, C. elegans transgenic animals overexpressing TMEM-135 exhibited increased longevity upon exposure to cold stress. Based on these results, we propose that TMEM135 integrates biological processes involving fat metabolism and energy expenditure in both the worm (invertebrates) and in mammalian organisms. The data obtained from our experiments suggest that TMEM135 is part of a regulatory circuit that plays a critical role in the survival of VLCAD-deficient mice and perhaps in other mitochondrial genetic defects of fat metabolism as well. 相似文献

Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and free radical induction have been suggested to be involved in haloperidol neurotoxicity. In this study, mice were injected i.p. with haloperidol, according to two different treatments: (a) a single injection (1 mg/kg), sacrificed 1 h after the injection (single-dose model); and (b) two injections (1 mg/kg each), sacrificed 24 h after the first dose (double-dose model). Determinations of oxygen consumption and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production rate were carried out in isolated brain mitochondria. Nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O2-) production rates were measured in submitochondrial particles (SMP). Single-dose haloperidol treatment produced a 33% inhibition in malate-glutamate-dependent respiration, while no significant changes were found after double-dose treatment. NO production was inhibited by 39 and 54% in SMP from haloperidol-treated mice (single- and double-dose treatments, respectively) (control value: 1.6 +/- 0.2 nmol/min mg protein). NO steady-state concentration was estimated at about 16.5 nM and was decreased by 40% by haloperidol treatment. Increases of 105 and 54% were found in succinate-supported O2- and H2O2 production rates, respectively, after haloperidol single-dose treatment. Haloperidol treatment generated a 248% increase in SMP O2- production rate when measured in the presence of NADH plus rotenone. Our results suggest that haloperidol neurotoxicity would be mediated by a decreased mitochondrial NO production, a decreased intramitochondrial NO steady-state concentration, and by an inhibition of mitochondrial electron transfer with enhancement of O2- and H2O2 production. This inhibition does not seem to be caused by increased NO or ONOO- formation. 相似文献

Brown adipose tissue(BAT) plays an essential role in non-shivering thermogenesis. The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein,cytoplasmic 1(PITPNC1) is identified as a lipid transporter that reciprocally transfers phospholipids between intracellular membrane structures. However, the physiological significance of PITPNC1 and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here,we demonstrate that PITPNC1 is a key player in thermogenesis of BAT.

Disorders of the carnitine cycle and of the beta oxidation spiral impair the ability to obtain energy from fats at time of fasting and stress. This can result in hypoketotic hypoglycemia, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia and other chronic medical problems. The in vitro study of fibroblasts from patients with these conditions is impaired by their limited oxidative capacity. Here we evaluate the capacity of valinomycin, a potassium ionophore that increases mitochondrial respiration, to increase the oxidation of fatty acids in cells from patients with inherited fatty acid oxidation defects. The addition of valinomycin to fibroblasts decreased the accumulation of the lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) at low concentrations due to the dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential. At higher doses, valinomycin increased TPP+ accumulation due to the increased potassium permeability of the plasma membrane and subsequent cellular hyperpolarization. The incubation of normal fibroblasts with valinomycin increased [14C]-palmitate oxidation (measured as [14C]O2 release) in a dose-dependent manner. By contrast, valinomycin failed to increase palmitate oxidation in fibroblasts from patients with very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency. This was not observed in fibroblasts from patients heterozygous for this condition. These results indicate that valinomycin can increase fatty acid oxidation in normal fibroblasts and could be useful to differentiate heterozygotes from patients affected with VLCAD deficiency. 相似文献
