Here, we use Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the impact of mutations in mccc-1, an enzyme that functions in leucine breakdown. Through untargeted metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses we find extensive metabolic rewiring that helps to detoxify leucine breakdown intermediates via conversion into previously undescribed metabolites and to synthesize mevalonate, an essential metabolite. We also find that the leucine breakdown product 3,3-hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB), commonly used as a human muscle-building supplement, is toxic to C. elegans and that bacteria modulate this toxicity. Unbiased genetic screens revealed interactions between the host and microbe, where components of bacterial pyrimidine biosynthesis mitigate HMB toxicity. Finally, upregulated ketone body metabolism genes in mccc-1 mutants provide an alternative route for biosynthesis of the mevalonate precursor 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA. Our work demonstrates that a complex host–bacteria interplay rewires metabolism to allow host survival when leucine catabolism is perturbed. In a C. elegans model of defective leucine catabolism, Lee et al. analyse how the complex interplay between host and bacteria rewires metabolism to enable host survival.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 8","pages":"1584-1600"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141904471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While efficient homoeostatic feeding is vital for survival, excessive hedonic feeding can lead to adverse consequences such as obesity and metabolic dysregulations. However, the neurobiological mechanisms that orchestrate homoeostatic versus hedonic food consumption remain largely unknown. Here we show that GABAergic proenkephalin (Penk) neurons in the diagonal band of Broca (DBB) of male mice respond to food presentation. We further demonstrate that a subset of DBBPenk neurons that project to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus are preferentially activated upon food presentation during fasting periods and transmit a positive valence to facilitate feeding. On the other hand, a separate subset of DBBPenk neurons that project to the lateral hypothalamus are preferentially activated when detecting a high-fat high-sugar (HFHS) diet and transmit a negative valence to inhibit food consumption. Notably, when given free choice of chow and HFHS diets, mice with the whole DBBPenk population ablated exhibit reduced consumption of chow but increased intake of the HFHS diet, resulting in accelerated development of obesity and metabolic disturbances. Together, we identify a molecularly defined neural population in male mice that is crucial for the maintenance of energy balance by facilitating homoeostatic feeding while suppressing hedonic overeating. The authors identify a neural population in the basal forebrain of mice that is key for maintaining energy balance by facilitating homoeostatic feeding while suppressing hedonic overeating.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 9","pages":"1775-1790"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141899372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Itaconate is one of the most upregulated metabolites in inflammatory macrophages.

In immunology, initial studies concentrated on the role of itaconate in inflammatory macrophages where it was shown to be inhibitory, but this has expanded as the impact of itaconate on other cell types is starting to emerge. This review focuses on itaconate as a key immunoregulatory metabolite and describes its diverse mechanisms of action and its many impacts on the immune and inflammatory responses and in cancer. We also examine the clinical relevance of this immunometabolite and its therapeutic potential for immune and inflammatory diseases.

However, in vivo mapping of BAT activity typically relies on techniques involving ionizing radiation, such as [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). Here we report a noninvasive metabolic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach based on creatine chemical exchange saturation transfer (Cr-CEST) contrast to assess in vivo BAT activity in rodents and humans. In male rats, a single dose of the β3-adrenoceptor agonist (CL 316,243) or norepinephrine, as well as cold exposure, triggered a robust elevation of the Cr-CEST MRI signal, which was consistent with the [18F]FDG PET and CT data and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of creatine concentration in BAT. We further show that Cr-CEST MRI detects cold-stimulated BAT activation in humans (both males and females) using a 3T clinical scanner, with data-matching results from [18F]FDG PET and CT measurements. This study establishes Cr-CEST MRI as a promising noninvasive and radiation-free approach for in vivo mapping of BAT activity.

Interestingly, both PMD mouse models and patients with PMD show gliosis, and pharmacological depletion of microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, ameliorates multiple symptoms in a mouse model. Given that microglia activation correlates with the expression of OXPHOS genes, we studied whether OXPHOS deficits in microglia may contribute to PMDs. We first observed that the metabolic rewiring associated with microglia stimulation in vitro (via IL-33 or TAU treatment) was partially changed by complex I (CI) inhibition (via rotenone treatment). In vivo, we generated a mouse model deficient for CI activity in microglia (MGcCI). MGcCI microglia showed metabolic rewiring and gradual transcriptional activation, which led to hypertrophy and dysfunction in juvenile (1-month-old) and adult (3-month-old) stages, respectively. MGcCI mice presented widespread reactive astrocytes, a decrease of synaptic markers accompanied by an increased number of parvalbumin neurons, a behavioral deficit characterized by prolonged periods of immobility, loss of weight and premature death that was partially rescued by pharmacologic depletion of microglia. Our data demonstrate that microglia development depends on mitochondrial CI and suggest a direct microglial contribution to PMDs. Microglia rely on mitochondrial complex I during development, suggesting that complex I deficiency in microglia may have a role in primary mitochondrial diseases.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 8","pages":"1479-1491"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141755088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) is necessary for conventional T cell proliferation6 and macrophage-dependent immune responses7–10. However, whether mitochondrial RC is essential for microglia proliferation or function is not known. We conditionally deleted the mitochondrial complex III subunit Uqcrfs1 (Rieske iron-sulfur polypeptide 1) in the microglia of adult mice to assess the requirement of microglial RC for survival, proliferation and adult CNS function in vivo. Notably, mitochondrial RC function was not required for survival or proliferation of microglia in vivo. RNA sequencing analysis showed that loss of RC function in microglia caused changes in gene expression distinct from aged or disease-associated microglia. Microglia-specific loss of mitochondrial RC function is not sufficient to induce cognitive decline. Amyloid-β plaque coverage decreased and microglial interaction with amyloid-β plaques increased in the hippocampus of 5xFAD mice with mitochondrial RC-deficient microglia. Microglia-specific loss of mitochondrial RC function did impair remyelination following an acute, reversible demyelinating event. Thus, mitochondrial respiration in microglia is dispensable for proliferation but is essential to maintain a proper response to CNS demyelinating injury. Microglia rely on mitochondrial respiration to respond to demyelinating injury.
