The cyclin D1 gene encodes the labile serum-inducible regulatory subunit of a holoenzyme that phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein. Overexpression of cyclin D1 promotes cellular proliferation and normal physiological levels of cyclin D1 function to inhibit adipocyte differentiation in vivo. We have previously shown that cyclin D1 inhibits peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma-dependent activity through a cyclin-dependent kinase- and retinoblastoma protein-binding-independent mechanism. In this study, we determined the molecular mechanism by which cyclin D1 regulated PPARgamma function. Herein, murine embryonic fibroblast (MEF) differentiation by PPARgamma ligand was associated with a reduction in histone deacetylase (HDAC1) activity. Cyclin D1-/- MEFs showed an increased propensity to undergo differentiation into adipocytes. Genetic deletion of cyclin D1 reduced HDAC1 activity. Reconstitution of cyclin D1 into the cyclin D1-/- MEFs increased HDAC1 activity and blocked PPARgamma-mediated adipogenesis. PPARgamma activity was enhanced in cyclin D1-/- cells. Reintroduction of cyclin D1 inhibited basal and ligand-induced PPARgamma activity and enhanced HDAC repression of PPARgamma activity. Cyclin D1 bound HDAC in vivo and preferentially physically associated with HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC5. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated that cyclin D1 enhanced recruitment of HDAC1 and HDAC3 and histone methyltransferase SUV39H1 to the PPAR response element of the lipoprotein lipase promoter and decreased acetylation of total histone H3 and histone H3 lysine 9. Collectively, these studies suggest an important role of cyclin D1 in regulation of PPARgamma-mediated adipocyte differentiation through recruitment of HDACs to regulate PPAR response element local chromatin structure and PPARgamma function.

Cyclin D1 encodes a regulatory subunit, which with its cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-binding partner forms a holoenzyme that phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein. In addition to its Cdk binding-dependent functions, cyclin D1 regulates cellular differentiation in part by modifying several transcription factors and nuclear receptors. The molecular mechanism through which cyclin D1 regulates the function of transcription factors involved in cellular differentiation remains to be clarified. The histone acetyltransferase protein p300 is a co-integrator required for regulation of multiple transcription factors. Here we show that cyclin D1 physically interacts with p300 and represses p300 transactivation. We demonstrated further that the interaction of the two proteins occurs at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-responsive element of the lipoprotein lipase promoter in the context of the local chromatin structure. We have mapped the domains in p300 and cyclin D1 involved in this interaction. The bromo domain and cysteine- and histidine-rich domains of p300 were required for repression by cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 repression of p300 was independent of the Cdk- and retinoblastoma protein-binding domains of cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 inhibits histone acetyltransferase activity of p300 in vitro. Microarray analysis identified a signature of genes repressed by cyclin D1 and induced by p300 that promotes cellular differentiation and induces cell cycle arrest. Together, our results suggest that cyclin D1 plays an important role in cellular proliferation and differentiation through regulation of p300.

Activation of protein kinase A by catecholamines inhibits lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity through the elaboration of an RNA binding complex, which inhibits LPL translation by binding to the 3'-untranslated region of the LPL mRNA. To better define this process, we reconstituted the inhibitory RNA binding complex in vitro and demonstrated that the K homology (KH) domain of A kinase anchor protein (AKAP) 121/149 plays a vital role in the inhibition of LPL translation. Inhibition of LPL translation occurred in vitro only when the Calpha subunit, R subunit, and AKAP 149 were present. Using different glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins of AKAP 149, sequences containing the KH domain were required for inhibition of LPL translation, and the inhibition of AKAP 121 expression in 3T3-F442A adipocytes with short interfering RNA resulted in loss of epinephrine-mediated translation inhibition. After epinephrine injection into mice, LPL activity was inhibited in white adipose tissue but not in brown adipose tissue (BAT) or muscle. LPL activity and synthetic rate were inhibited in vitro by the addition of epinephrine to 3T3-F442A adipocytes, but there was no effect in L6 muscle cells and cultures of brown adipocytes. Corresponding with these differences in LPL translation, AKAP 121 protein and mRNA were abundantly expressed in mouse white adipose tissue, but was either very low or undetectable in BAT and muscle. Thus, AKAP 121/149 contains a KH region that is essential to the translation inhibition of LPL in response to epinephrine. BAT and muscle do not express significant AKAP 121/149, and this likely explains some of the tissue-specific differences in LPL regulation.

Adipocyte differentiation is regulated largely through the actions of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma nuclear receptor and the insulin signaling pathway. 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) serves as a critical regulatory point in insulin signaling through its ability to phosphorylate the activation loop of several protein kinase families. The present study was undertaken to determine the interrelationships between the PDK1 and PPARgamma signaling pathways, and their association with adipocyte differentiation. Coexpression of PDK1 and PPARgamma1 in 293T cells stimulated PPARgamma response element-dependent reporter gene activity in either the presence or absence of ligand. PDK1-mediated stimulation of PPARgamma1 activity was comparable in magnitude to the coactivator activated in breast cancer-1, and was blocked by either the corepressor silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptor or dominant-negative PAX8-PPARgamma1. Heterologous Gal4-PPARgamma1 assays indicated that PDK1 interacted with the ligand binding domain, and physically associated with PPARgamma1; however, PDK1-mediated stimulation was not dependent on phosphorylation of PPARgamma1 by PDK1. PDK1 stimulatory activity was eliminated by mutation of the alpha-helical hydrophobic motifs in PDK1, L(268)XII, and V(313)XXLL, and expression of the alpha-helical region encompassing these motifs stimulated PPARgamma response element-dependent transcription. PDK1-PPARgamma interaction was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis of the lipoprotein lipase and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein promoters. In cells expressing PDK1 and PPARgamma, binding to PPARgamma response elements occurred, which was enhanced by treatment with a PPARgamma agonist. Expression of PDK1 in 3T3-L1 or COMMA-1D mammary epithelial cells promoted adipocyte differentiation in the presence of a PPARgamma agonist that was comparable to the response of PPARgamma1-transfected cells in the presence of agonist; expression of PDK1 and PPARgamma resulted in a synergistic effect. Adipocyte differentiation in the presence of a PPARgamma agonist was markedly attenuated in PDK1 null cells. These results suggest that PDK1 can function as a PPARgamma1 coactivator independently of its catalytic activity and establishes an important mechanistic link between adipocyte differentiation and the insulin signaling pathway.

Pregnancy is characterized by changes in maternal adiposity. The aim of this study was to carry out a detailed analysis of the different steps of the adrenergic pathway, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) levels and adipocyte size, in order to evaluate the response of white adipose tissue (WAT) to the metabolic changes during pregnancy depending on the anatomical location. In general, the levels of the proteins of the lipolytic pathway decreased with pregnancy. In retroperitoneal WAT adenylate cyclase (AC) levels decreased from 100% in controls to 44% by day 13 and 11% by day 20. In mesenteric WAT the alpha (2A)/beta (3)-adrenergic receptor balance seemed to be one of the main regulatory points of the lipolytic pathway and the reduction in the postreceptor element levels was clearly lower than for the other two depots (PKA levels reduced from 100% in controls to 72% by day 20, while in the other two depots it decreased to 30%, and AC and HSL levels did not show statistically significant changes in this depot). In contrast, the LPL-to-HSL ratio may be a major regulatory point in gonadal WAT. In summary, we describe regional differences in the regulation of WAT metabolism throughout pregnancy, which may be of great importance to determine the role of the different fat depots during late pregnancy. Thus, gonadal and mesenteric WAT changed to a lipolytic state to sustain the rapid foetal growth, although with differences between them in the main regulatory points, while retroperitoneal WAT could have a role later on, during lactation.

Changes in rat mammary fat pad during pregnancy were assessed by studying differences in the morphology and composition of the pad and in the levels of proteins involved in the accumulation and mobilization of fat stores. During pregnancy, the mammary fat pad weight had increased 1.8-fold by day 20, as compared with control rats. DNA content had increased two-fold by day 13 and remained stable until day 20. Protein content showed a two-fold increase on day 20, compared with control rats. As pregnancy advanced, both the percentage of mammary gland cells with respect to the whole mammary fat pad and the size of the adipocytes increased. The specific content of the different elements of the lipolytic pathway, viz. (alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor (AR), beta(3)-AR, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL)) underwent a decrease as pregnancy progressed, although adenylate cyclase increased greatly. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) content per gram of tissue increased with pregnancy and the HSL-to-LPL ratio reflected a continuous increase in the triglyceride storage throughout pregnancy. Thus, the mammary fat pad undergoes extensive morphological, compositional and metabolic transformation during pregnancy, attributable to the development of the mammary gland. The various elements of the lipolytic pathway and LPL undergo major changes during the development of the mammary gland focused towards the increase of fat stores and allowing the accumulation of lipid droplets in the epithelial mammary cells and an increase in adipocyte size.

Whereas continuous PTH infusion increases bone resorption and bone loss, intermittent PTH treatment stimulates bone formation, in part, via reactivation of quiescent bone surfaces and reducing osteoblast apoptosis. We investigated the possibility that intermittent and continuous PTH treatment also differentially regulates osteogenic and adipocytic lineage commitment of bone marrow stromal progenitor/mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The MSC were cultured under mildly adipogenic conditions in medium supplemented with dexamethasone, insulin, isobutyl-methylxanthine and troglitazone (DIIT), and treated with 50 nM human PTH(1-34) for either 1 h/day or continuously (PTH replenished every 48 h). After 6 days, cells treated with PTH for 1 h/day retained their normal fibroblastic appearance whereas those treated continuously adopted a polygonal, irregular morphology. After 12-18 days numerous lipid vacuole and oil red O-positive adipocytes had developed in cultures treated with DIIT alone, or with DIIT and continuous PTH. In contrast, adipocyte number was reduced and alkaline phosphatase staining increased in the cultures treated with DIIT and 1 h/day PTH, indicating suppression of adipogenesis and possible promotion of early osteoblastic differentiation. Furthermore, intermittent but not continuous PTH treatment suppressed markers of differentiated adipocytes such as mRNA expression of lipoprotein lipase and PPARgamma as well as glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. All of these effects of intermittent PTH were also produced by a 1 h/day treatment with AH3960 (30 microM), a small molecule, non-peptide agonist of the PTH1 receptor. AH3960, like PTH, activates both the cAMP and calcium signaling pathways. Treatment with the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin for 1 h/day, mimicked the anti-adipogenic effect of intermittent PTH, whereas pretreatment with the protein kinase-A inhibitor H89 prior to intermittent PTH resulted in almost complete conversion to adipocytes. In contrast, the MAP kinase inhibitor PD 98059 failed to prevent the anti-adipocytic effect of intermittent PTH, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PTH on adipocyte differentiation is predominantly cAMP-dependent. These results demonstrate a differential effect of PTH1 receptor agonists on the adipocytic commitment and differentiation of adult human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. This response may represent an additional mechanism that contributes to the overall bone anabolic action of intermittent PTH.

Adipose LPL (lipoprotein lipase) plays an important role in regulating plasma triacylglycerols and lipid metabolism. We have previously demonstrated that PKCalpha (protein kinase Calpha) depletion inhibits LPL translation in 3T3-F442A adipocytes. Using in vitro translation experiments, the minimum essential region on the 3'UTR (3'-untranslated region) of LPL mRNA required for the inhibition of translation was identified as the proximal 39 nt. These results were confirmed by RNase protection analysis using cytoplasmic proteins isolated from the adipocytes treated with PKCalpha antisense oligomers and the LPL 3'UTR transcript (LPL 3'UTR nt: 1512-1640). The protein components involved in this RNA-binding interaction from PKCalpha depletion were passed through an affinity column containing a sequence of the LPL 3'UTR and, after Western blotting, the RNA-binding proteins were identified as the catalytic and the regulatory subunits of PKA (protein kinase A), Calpha and RIIbeta, and AKAP (A-kinase-anchoring protein) 121. This RNA inhibitory complex consisted of the same RNA-binding proteins that have been identified previously as mediators of LPL translational inhibition by PKA activation, suggesting that PKCalpha depletion inhibits LPL translation through PKA activation. In additional experiments, PKC depletion by prolonged PMA treatment or PKCalpha antisense oligomers resulted in an increase in PKA activity in 3T3-F442A adipocytes, comparable with PKA activation with adrenaline (epinephrine) treatment. These results demonstrate that LPL translational inhibition occurs through an RNA-binding complex involving PKA subunits and AKAP121, and this complex can be activated either through traditional PKA activation methods or through the depletion of PKCalpha.

The diabetic heart switches to exclusively using fatty acid (FA) for energy supply and does so by multiple mechanisms including hydrolysis of lipoproteins by lipoprotein lipase (LPL) positioned at the vascular lumen. We determined the mechanism that leads to an increase in LPL after diabetes. Diazoxide (DZ), an agent that decreases insulin secretion and causes hyperglycemia, induced a substantial increase in LPL activity at the vascular lumen. This increase in LPL paralleled a robust phosphorylation of Hsp25, decreasing its association with PKCdelta, allowing this protein kinase to phosphorylate and activate protein kinase D (PKD), an important kinase that regulates fission of vesicles from the golgi membrane. Rottlerin, a PKCdelta inhibitor, prevented PKD phosphorylation and the subsequent increase in LPL. Incubating control myocytes with high glucose and palmitic acid (Glu+PA) also increased the phosphorylation of Hsp25, PKCdelta, and PKD in a pattern similar to that seen with diabetes, in addition to augmenting LPL activity. In myocytes in which PKD was silenced or a mutant form of PKCdelta was expressed, high Glu+PA were incapable of increasing LPL. Moreover, silencing of cardiomyocyte Hsp25 allowed phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate to elicit a significant phosphorylation of PKCdelta, an appreciable association between PKCdelta and PKD, and a vigorous activation of PKD. As these cells also demonstrated an additional increase in LPL, our data imply that after diabetes, PKD control of LPL requires dissociation of Hsp25 from PKCdelta, association between PKCdelta and PKD, and vesicle fission. Results from this study could help in restricting cardiac LPL translocation, leading to strategies that overcome contractile dysfunction after diabetes.

High serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a strong predictor of cardiovascular events, are documented in patients with type 2 diabetes. Accumulating evidence suggests that CRP could directly promote arterial damage. To determine the role of CRP in diabetic atherosclerosis, we examined the effect of CRP on the expression of macrophage lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a proatherogenic molecule upregulated in type 2 diabetes. Treatment of human macrophages with native CRP increased, in a dose- and time-dependent manner, LPL protein expression and secretion. Modified CRP reproduced these effects. Preincubation of human macrophages with antioxidants, protein kinase C (PKC), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors prevented CRP-induced LPL expression. Exposure of human macrophages to CRP further increased intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, classic PKC isozymes expression, and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 phosphorylation. In CRP-treated J774 macrophages, increased macrophage LPL mRNA levels and enhanced binding of nuclear proteins to the activated protein-1 (AP-1)-enhancing element were observed. These effects were prevented by antioxidants, as well as by PKC, MAPK, and AP-1 inhibitors. These data show for the first time that CRP directly increases macrophage LPL expression and secretion. Given the predominant role of macrophage LPL in atherogenesis, LPL might represent a novel factor underlying the adverse effect of CRP on the diabetic vasculature.
