HDL and Glut1 inhibition reverse a hypermetabolic state in mouse models of myeloproliferative disorders

چکیده
A high metabolic rate in myeloproliferative disorders is a common complication of neoplasms, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using three different mouse models of myeloproliferative disorders, including mice with defective cholesterol efflux pathways and two models based on expression of human leukemia disease alleles, we uncovered a mechanism by which proliferating and inflammatory myeloid cells take up and oxidize glucose during the feeding period, contributing to energy dissipation and subsequent loss of adipose mass. In vivo, lentiviral inhibition of Glut1 by shRNA prevented myeloproliferation and adipose tissue loss in mice with defective cholesterol efflux pathway in leukocytes. Thus, Glut1 was necessary to sustain proliferation and potentially divert glucose from fat storage. We also showed that overexpression of the human ApoA-I transgene to raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels decreased Glut1 expression, dampened myeloproliferation, and prevented fat loss. These experiments suggest that inhibition of Glut-1 and HDL cholesterol-raising therapies could provide novel therapeutic approaches to treat the energy imbalance observed in myeloproliferative disorders.

Background Myeloproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by increased proliferation of myeloid lineage. In addition to JAK2V617F mutation, several mutations in the c-MPL gene were described in patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders that could be important in the pathogenesis of diseases. The aim of present study was to investigate the fre...

Background: A mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation was used to investigate the effect of pharmacological inhibition of nuclear enzyme PARP-1 on oocyte maturation, apoptotic and necrotic death, as well as DNA integrity of follicular cells. Also, the relative expression of cumulus genes (HAS2, COX2, and GREM1) associated with oocyte developmental competence was assessed. M...

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Endometrial cells from retrograde menstruation implant on peritoneal surfaces and elicit an inflammatory response, associated with angiogenesis, fibrosis, neuronal infiltration, and anatomical distortion. Affecting an estimated 176 million women worldwide, the condition is sti...
متن کاملThe effects of GLUT1 on the survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Cancer cells require increased nutrient uptake to support a high rate of proliferation, and the overexpression of glucose transporters, in particular GLUT1, is a common characteristic of human malignancies. Here, we investigated the relationship between the expression of GLUT1 and cell viability, colony forming ability and apoptosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC...

The possibility to reprogram somatic human cells will greatly and deeply change genetic approach and allow the development of new tools to study genetics diseases. Indeed, our ability to study human genetic diseases suffers from the lack of valid in vitro models. The latter should (i) be originating from human primary cells, (ii) be able to self-renew for a long time and (iii) be able to differ...
