Cytokines promote lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes through induction of NADPH oxidase 3 expression and superoxide production

NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes are one of the major superoxide-generating systems in cells. NOX-generated superoxide has been suggested to promote insulin resistance in the liver. However, the role of NOX enzymes in mediating metabolic dysfunction in other insulin target tissues remains unclear. Here, we show that NOX3 expression is induced in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes upon treatment with proinflammatory cytokines. Superoxide production increased concurrently with NOX3 protein expression in cytokine-treated adipocytes, which was inhibited by the NOX inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI). Treatment of adipocytes with cytokines increased lipolysis and decreased PPARγ activity. Interestingly, treatment with DPI blunted lipolysis activation by cytokines but failed to restore PPARγ activity. siRNA-mediated NOX3 downregulation also prevented cytokine-induced superoxide generation and lipolysis. In line with increasing lipolysis, cytokines increased the phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), which was reversed by treatment with DPI and silencing of NOX3 expression. We conclude that NOX3 is a cytokine-inducible superoxide-generating enzyme in adipocytes, which promotes lipolysis through increasing phosphorylation of HSL. This suggests a key role for NOX3-mediated superoxide production in the increased adipocyte lipolysis in inflammatory settings.

This suggests a key role for NOX3-mediated superoxide production in the increased adipocyte lipolysis in inflammatory settings. Adipose tissue is the major site of lipid turnover in the body. During fasting, triglyceride stores are broken down into FAs and glycerol through lipolysis (1.Monteiro R. Azevedo I. Chronic inflammation in obesity and the metabolic syndrome.Mediators Inflamm. 2010; 2010: 289645Crossref PubMed Scopus (693) Google Scholar). It has been established that adipose tissue lipolysis is altered in obesity and other inflammatory settings and that release of inflammatory cytokines by enlarged adipocytes or infiltrating immune cells impairs the activity of some key molecules involved in glucose and lipid metabolism (2.Guilherme A. Virbasius J.V. Puri V. Czech M.P. Adipocyte dysfunctions linking obesity to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.Nat. Rev. Mol.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase modulates lipolysis in adipocytes.J. Lipid Res. 2005; 46: 135-142Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (30) Google Scholar). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during inflammatory settings have been proposed to play a role in mediating insulin resistance and metabolic impairments in adipose tissue (6.Furukawa S. Fujita T. Shimabukuro M. Iwaki M. Yamada Y. Nakajima Y. Nakayama O. Makishima M. Matsuda M. Shimomura I. Increased oxidative stress in obesity and its impact on metabolic syndrome.J. Clin.

Reactive oxygen species have a causal role in multiple forms of insulin resistance.Nature. 2006; 440: 944-948Crossref PubMed Scopus (1955) Google Scholar). It is established that superoxide is overproduced in adipose tissue of obese animals (7.Houstis N. Rosen E.D. Lander E.S. Reactive oxygen species have a causal role in multiple forms of insulin resistance.Nature. 2006; 440: 944-948Crossref PubMed Scopus (1955) Google Scholar, 8.Talior I. Yarkoni M. Bashan N.

Metab. 2003; 285: E295-E302Crossref PubMed Scopus (144) Google Scholar). Superoxide can be generated by enzymatic systems such as mitochondrial and peroxisomal pathways in fat cells, but the role of NADPH oxidases (NOXs) in the inflammatory obese state remains elusive. NOX enzymes are widely expressed in mammalian cells and belong to the family of flavocytochrome superoxide-producing enzymes (6.Furukawa S. Fujita T. Shimabukuro M. Iwaki M. Yamada Y. Nakajima Y. Nakayama O. Makishima M. Matsuda M. Shimomura I. Increased oxidative stress in obesity and its impact on metabolic syndrome.J. Clin.

The role of NOX, especially the prototypical NOX2 (also known as CGD91-phox), has been extensively studied in innate immunity (11.Guichard C. Moreau R. Pessayre D. Epperson T.K. Krause K.H. NOX family NADPH oxidases in liver and in pancreatic islets: a role in the metabolic syndrome and diabetes?.Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2008; 36: 920-929Crossref PubMed Scopus (103) Google Scholar). Other homologs of NOX2 have been identified, and these include: NOX1, NOX3, NOX4, NOX5, and DUOX1/DUOX2 (9.Lambeth J.D. NOX enzymes and the biology of reactive oxygen.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2004; 4: 181-189Crossref PubMed Scopus (2453) Google Scholar, 11.Guichard C. Moreau R. Pessayre D. Epperson T.K. Krause K.H. NOX family NADPH oxidases in liver and in pancreatic islets: a role in the metabolic syndrome and diabetes?.Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2008; 36: 920-929Crossref PubMed Scopus (103) Google Scholar). NOX3, a member of the NOX/dual-domain NOX family, has been first identified in specific portions of the middle ear (12.Bánfi B. Malgrange B. Knisz J. Steger K. Dubois-Dauphin M. Krause K.H. NOX3, a superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase of the inner ear.J. Biol. Chem. 2004; 279: 46065-46072Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (335) Google Scholar). NOX3 expression was previously reported in liver cells, where it has been shown to mediate TNFα-induced insulin resistance upon JNK activation (13.Li L. He Q. Huang X. Man Y. Zhou Y. Wang S. Wang J. Li J. NOX3-derived reactive oxygen species promote TNF-alpha-induced reductions in hepatocyte glycogen levels via a JNK pathway.FEBS Lett. 2010; 584: 995-1000Crossref PubMed Scopus (33) Google Scholar). Also, NOX3 is upregulated in the liver of obese mice, and treatment of hepatic cells with FFAs causes insulin resistance through increasing ROS production by NOX3 and activation of the p38 signaling pathway (14.Gao D. Nong S. Huang X. Lu Y. Zhao H. Lin Y. Man Y. Wang S. Yang J. Li J. The effects of palmitate on hepatic insulin resistance are mediated by NADPH oxidase 3-derived reactive oxygen species through JNK and p38MAPK pathways.J. Biol. Chem. 2010; 285: 29965-29973Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (250) Google Scholar). Because adipose tissue metabolism is severely impaired in inflammatory settings, we explored the role of NOX3 in adipocytes and its potential implication in cytokine-induced metabolic dysfunction. Our data show that NOX3 is rapidly induced upon cytokine exposure and that the subsequent increase in ROS production promotes lipolysis, which is linked to regulation of HSL phosphorylation. These results demonstrate a new role for NOX3 in regulating lipid metabolism in adipocytes. Cytokines were used at the following concentrations: TNFα (5 ng/ml; Fitzgerald, Concord, MA), IFN-γ (5,000 U/ml; RD Systems, Minneapolis, MN), and interleukin (IL)-1β (20 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) (15.Kapur S. Marcotte B. Marette A. Mechanism of adipose tissue iNOS induction in endotoxemia.Am. J. Physiol. 1999; 276: E635-E641PubMed Google Scholar). All cell culture solutions and supplements were purchased from Life Technologies, Inc., except for FBS, which was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Reagents for SDS-PAGE and Western blot were from Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA) and Amersham (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Mississauga, Canada). Goat polyclonal antibody against NOX3 was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Paso Robles, CA). Rabbit monoclonal antibody against NOX4 was purchased from Epitomics (Burlingame, CA). Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against HSL, phospho-HSL (serine 563), and perilipin were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA), and FASN Ab was from Sigma-Aldrich. Secondary HRP-coupled antibodies were from Jackson Laboratories (West Grove, PA). NOX inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) was used at a concentration of 10 μM (EMDMillipore). Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) chloride was purchased from Sigma; deoxy-d-glucose, 2-[1, 2-3H(N)] was from Perkin Elmer (Woodbridge, Canada). The 3T3-L1 fibroblasts were grown in α-DMEM (20% calf serum) and differentiated into adipocytes as previously described (5.Penfornis P. Marette A. Inducible nitric oxide synthase modulates lipolysis in adipocytes.J. Lipid Res. 2005; 46: 135-142Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (30) Google Scholar). Only cells showing at least 85% differentiation by morphological examination were used. Adipocytes were treated with a mixture of cytokines TNFα (5 ng/ml), IFN-γ (5,000 U/ml), and IL-1β (20 ng/ml) for either 8 or 24 h. Because transfection was found to affect the cytokine-induced ROS production, we have used a combination of cytokines plus LPS (1 µg/ml) in transfected adipocytes, in order to obtain similar ROS production to that of nontransfected cells. When DPI (10 μM) was used, it was added during the last hour of treatment, and control cells were treated with vehicle (DMSO, 1%). The 8- to 12-week-old C57BL/6J mice from our in-house colony were euthanized in accordance with our institutional guidelines. Epididymal fat (epididymal white adipose tissue) depot was removed under sterile conditions, and 50 µg of tissue from each mouse was directly placed in a culture plate with antibiotic-supplemented medium (DMEM low glucose and 10% FBS). Samples were incubated for 24 h before the medium was replaced and treatments performed as described for 3T3-L1 cells. All procedures were previously approved by the Laval University Animal Ethics Committee. Superoxide radicals were measured by the NBT reduction assay as described previously (6.Furukawa S. Fujita T.
