Muscle-derived expression of the chemokine CXCL1 attenuates diet-induced obesity and improves fatty acid oxidation in the muscle.

چکیده
Serum levels and muscle expression of the chemokine CXCL1 increase markedly in response to exercise in mice. Because several studies have established muscle-derived factors as important contributors of metabolic effects of exercise, this study aimed at investigating the effect of increased expression of muscle-derived CXCL1 on systemic and intramuscular metabolic parameters, with focus on fatty acid oxidation and oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. By overexpression of CXCL1 in the tibialis cranialis muscle in mice, significant elevations in muscle and serum CXCL1 within a physiological range were obtained. At 3 mo of high-fat feeding, visceral and subcutaneous fat mass were 32.4 (P < 0.01) and 22.4% (P < 0.05) lower, respectively, in CXCL1-overexpressing mice compared with control mice. Also, chow-fed CXCL-transfected mice had 35.4% (P < 0.05) lower visceral fat mass and 33.4% (P < 0.05) lower subcutaneous fat mass compared with chow-fed control mice. These reductions in accumulation of adipose tissue were accompanied by improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, in CXCL1-transfected muscles, muscular ex vivo fatty acid oxidation was significantly enhanced compared with control muscles (chow fed: 2.2-fold, P < 0.05; high-fat fed: 2-fold, P < 0.05) and also showed increased expression levels of major fatty acid oxidation genes (CD36, CPT I, and HADH). Finally, CXCL1 expression was associated with increased muscle mRNA expression of VEGF and CD31, suggesting a role for CXCL1 in muscle angiogenesis. In conclusion, our data show that overexpression of CXCL1 within a physiological range attenuates diet-induced obesity, likely mediated through a CXCL1-induced improvement of fatty acid oxidation and oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle tissue.

متن کاملNarciclasine attenuates diet-induced obesity by promoting oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle
Obesity develops when caloric intake exceeds metabolic needs. Promoting energy expenditure represents an attractive approach in the prevention of this fast-spreading epidemic. Here, we report a novel pharmacological strategy in which a natural compound, narciclasine (ncls), attenuates diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice by promoting energy expenditure. Moreover, ncls promotes fat clearance from ...
متن کاملMitochondrial fat oxidation is essential for lipid-induced inflammation in skeletal muscle in mice
Inflammation, lipotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction have been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, how these factors are intertwined in the development of obesity/insulin resistance remains unclear. Here, we examine the role of mitochondrial fat oxidation on lipid-induced inflammation in skeletal muscle. We used skeletal muscle-...
متن کاملUpregulation of fatty acyl-CoA thioesterases in the heart and skeletal muscle of rats fed a high-fat diet.
In rodent models of diet-induced obesity, prolonged high-fat feeding increases the cellular uptake of fatty acids and causes lipotoxicity in the heart and skeletal muscle, where substrate overload to beta-oxidation generates mitochondrial stress. We examined the hypothesis that, because of its catalytic properties, acyl-CoA thioesterase (ACOT) would counteract these detrimental situations by mo...

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction, evidenced by incomplete beta oxidation and accumulation of fatty acid intermediates in the form of long and medium chain acylcarnitines, may contribute to ectopic lipid deposition and insulin resistance during high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. The present review discusses the roles of anterograde and retrograde communication in nucleo-mitochondrial ...
