HDAC5 controls a hypothalamic STAT5b-TH axis, the sympathetic activation of ATP-consuming futile cycles and adult-onset obesity in male mice Raian E. Contreras, Tim Gruber, Ismael González-García, Sonja C. Schriever, Meri De Angelis, Noemi Mallet, Miriam Bernecker, Beata Legutko, Dhiraj Kabra, Mathias Schmidt, Matthias H. Tschöp, Ruth Gutierrez-Aguilar, Jane Mellor, Cristina García-Cáceres, Paul T. Pfluger Molecular Metabolism, 2024 With age, metabolic perturbations accumulate to elevate our obesity burden. While age-onset obesity is mostly driven by a sedentary lifestyle and high calorie intake, genetic and epigenetic factors also play a role. Among these, members of the large histone deacetylase (HDAC) family are of particular importance as key metabolic determinants for healthy ageing, or metabolic dysfunction. Here, we aimed to interrogate the role of class 2 family member HDAC5 in controlling systemic metabolism and age-related obesity under non-obesogenic conditions. Starting at 6 months of age, we observed adult-onset obesity in chow-fed male global HDAC5-KO mice, that was accompanied by marked reductions in adrenergic-stimulated ATP-consuming futile cycles, including BAT activity and UCP1 levels, WAT-lipolysis, skeletal muscle, WAT and liver futile creatine and calcium cycles, and ultimately energy expenditure. Female mice did not differ between genotypes. The lower peripheral sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity in mature male KO mice was linked to higher dopaminergic neuronal activity within the dorsomedial arcuate nucleus (dmARC) and elevated hypothalamic dopamine levels. Mechanistically, we reveal that hypothalamic HDAC5 acts as co-repressor of STAT5b over the control of Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene transactivation, which ultimately orchestrates the activity of dmARH dopaminergic neurons and energy metabolism in male mice under non-obesogenic conditions.
Histone deacetylase 5 regulates interleukin 6 secretion and insulin action in skeletal muscle Oleksiy Klymenko, Tim Brecklinghaus, Matthias Dille, Christian Springer, Christian de Wendt, Delsi Altenhofen, Christian Binsch, Birgit Knebel, Jürgen Scheller, Christopher Hardt, Ralf Herwig, Alexandra Chadt, Paul T. Pfluger, Hadi Al-Hasani, Dhiraj G. Kabra Molecular Metabolism, 2020 OBJECTIVE: Physical exercise training is associated with increased glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and improved glycemic control. HDAC5, a class IIa histone deacetylase, has been shown to regulate transcription of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 in cultured muscle cells. In this study, we analyzed the contribution of HDAC5 to the transcriptional network in muscle and the beneficial effect of muscle contraction and regular exercise on glucose metabolism. METHODS: HDAC5 knockout mice (KO) and wild-type (WT) littermates were trained for 8 weeks on treadmills, metabolically phenotyped, and compared to sedentary controls. Hdac5-deficient skeletal muscle and cultured Hdac5-knockdown (KD) C2C12 myotubes were utilized for studies of gene expression and glucose metabolism. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies were conducted to analyze Il6 promoter activity using H3K9ac and HDAC5 antibodies. RESULTS: Global transcriptome analysis of Hdac5 KO gastrocnemius muscle demonstrated activation of the IL-6 signaling pathway. Accordingly, knockdown of Hdac5 in C2C12 myotubes led to higher expression and secretion of IL-6 with enhanced insulin-stimulated activation of AKT that was reversed by Il6 knockdown. Moreover, Hdac5-deficient myotubes exhibited enhanced glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and elevated expression levels of the glucose transporter GLUT4. Transcription of Il6 was further enhanced by electrical pulse stimulation in Hdac5-deficient C2C12 myotubes. ChIP identified a ∼1 kb fragment of the Il6 promoter that interacts with HDAC5 and demonstrated increased activation-associated histone marker AcH3K9 in Hdac5-deficient muscle cells. Exercise intervention of HDAC5 KO mice resulted in improved systemic glucose tolerance as compared to WT controls. CONCLUSIONS: We identified HDAC5 as a negative epigenetic regulator of IL-6 synthesis and release in skeletal muscle. HDAC5 may exert beneficial effects through two different mechanisms, transcriptional control of genes required for glucose disposal and utilization, and HDAC5-dependent IL-6 signaling cross-talk to improve glucose uptake in muscle in response to exercise.
Type 2 diabetes risk gene Dusp8 regulates hypothalamic Jnk signaling and insulin sensitivity Sonja C. Schriever, Dhiraj G. Kabra, Katrin Pfuhlmann, Peter Baumann, Emily V.

Tschöp, Paul T. Pfluger Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2020 Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified DUSP8, a dual-specificity phosphatase targeting MAP kinases, as type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk gene. Here, we unravel Dusp8 as gatekeeper in the hypothalamic control of glucose homeostasis in mice and humans. Male but not female Dusp8 loss-of-function mice, either with global or CRH neuron-specific deletion, had impaired systemic glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity when exposed to high-fat diet (HFD). Mechanistically, we found impaired hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis feedback, blunted sympathetic responsiveness, and chronically elevated corticosterone levels driven by hypothalamic hyperactivation of Jnk signaling. Accordingly, global Jnk1 ablation, AAV-mediated Dusp8 overexpression in the mediobasal hypothalamus, or metyrapone-induced chemical adrenalectomy rescued the impaired glucose homeostasis of obese male Dusp8 KO mice, respectively. The sex-specific role of murine Dusp8 in governing hypothalamic Jnk signaling, insulin sensitivity and systemic glucose tolerance was consistent with fMRI data in human volunteers that revealed an association of the DUSP8 rs2334499 risk variant with hypothalamic insulin resistance in men. Further, expression of DUSP8 was increased in the infundibular nucleus of T2D humans. In summary, our findings suggest the GWAS-identified gene Dusp8 as novel hypothalamic factor that plays a functional role in the etiology of T2D.

systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.
Celastrol-induced weight loss is driven by hypophagia and independent from UCP1 Katrin Pfuhlmann, Sonja C. Schriever, Peter Baumann, Dhiraj G. Kabra, Luke Harrison, Sithandiwe E.

Woods, Martin Jastroch, Christoffer Clemmensen, Meri De Angelis, Karl-Werner Schramm, Michael Sattler, Ana C. Messias, Matthias H. Tschöp, Paul T. Pfluger Diabetes, 2018 Celastrol, a plant-derived constituent of traditional Chinese medicine, has been proposed to offer significant potential as an antiobesity drug. However, the molecular mechanism for this activity is unknown. We show that the weight-lowering effects of celastrol are driven by decreased food consumption. Although young Lepob mice respond with a decrease in food intake and body weight, adult Lepdb and Lepob mice are unresponsive to celastrol, suggesting that functional leptin signaling in adult mice is required to elicit celastrol’s catabolic actions. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (PTP1B), a leptin negative-feedback regulator, has been previously reported to be one of celastrol’s targets. However, we found that global PTP1B knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice have comparable weight loss and hypophagia when treated with celastrol. Increased levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in subcutaneous white and brown adipose tissue suggest celastrol-induced thermogenesis as a further mechanism. However, diet-induced obese UCP1 WT and KO mice have comparable weight loss upon celastrol treatment, and celastrol treatment has no effect on energy expenditure under ambient housing or thermoneutral conditions. Overall, our results suggest that celastrol-induced weight loss is hypophagia driven and age-dependently mediated by functional leptin signaling. Our data encourage reconsideration of therapeutic antiobesity strategies built on leptin sensitization.
