Régulation de l'activité transcriptionnelle du récepteur nucléaire FXR par la ghréline et les modifications post-traductionnelles

Le récepteur X des farnésoïdes (FXR) fait partie de la superfamille des récepteurs nucléaires et agit comme un facteur de transcription suite à la liaison d’un ligand spécifique. Le récepteur FXR, activé par les acides biliaires, joue un rôle essentiel dans le métabolisme des lipides et du glucose en plus de réguler l’homéostasie des acides biliaires. Notre laboratoire a récemment mis en évidence une nouvelle voie de régulation du récepteur PPARγ en réponse au récepteur de la ghréline. En effet, la ghréline induit l’activation transcriptionnelle de PPARγ via une cascade de signalisation impliquant les kinases Erk1/2 et Akt, supportant un rôle périphérique de la ghréline dans les pathologies associées au syndrome métabolique. Il est de plus en plus reconnu que la cascade métabolique impliquant PPARγ fait également intervenir un autre récepteur nucléaire, FXR. Dans ce travail, nous montrons que la ghréline induit l’activation transcriptionnelle de FXR de manière dose-dépendante et induit également la phosphorylation du récepteur sur ses résidus sérine. En utilisant des constructions tronquées ABC et CDEF de FXR, nous avons démontré que la ghréline régule l’activité de FXR via les domaines d’activation AF-1 et AF-2. L’effet de la ghréline et du ligand sélectif GW4064 sur l’induction de FXR est additif. De plus, nous avons démontré que FXR est la cible d’une autre modification post-traductionnelle, soit la sumoylation. En effet, FXR est un substrat cellulaire des protéines SUMO-1 et SUMO-3 et la sumoylation du récepteur est ligand-indépendante. SUMO-1 et SUMO-3 induisent l’activation transcriptionnelle de FXR de façon dose-dépendante. Nos résultats indiquent que la lysine 122 est le site prédominant de sumoylation par SUMO-1, quoiqu’un mécanisme de coopération semble exister entre les différents sites de sumoylation de FXR. Avec son rôle émergeant dans plusieurs voies du métabolisme lipidique, l’identification de modulateurs de FXR s’avère être une approche fort prometteuse pour faire face à plusieurs pathologies associées au syndrome métabolique et au diabète de type 2.

New synthetic bile acid analogue agonists of FXR and TGR5 receptors: Analytical methodologies for the study of their physico-chemical properties, pharmacokinetic activity and metabolism.

This thesis reports an integrated analytical approach for the study of physicochemical and biological properties of new synthetic bile acid (BA) analogues agonists of FXR and TGR5 receptors. Structure-activity data were compared with those previous obtained using the same experimental protocols on synthetic and natural occurring BA. The new synthetic BA analogues are classified in different groups according also to their potency as a FXR and TGR5 agonists: unconjugated and steroid modified BA and side chain modified BA including taurine or glycine conjugates and pseudo-conjugates (sulphonate and sulphate analogues). In order to investigate the relationship between structure and activity the synthetic analogues where admitted to a physicochemical characterization and to a preliminary screening for their pharmacokinetic and metabolism using a bile fistula rat model. Sensitive and accurate analytical methods have been developed for the quali-quantitative analysis of BA in biological fluids and sample used for physicochemical studies. Combined High Performance Liquid Chromatography Electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with efficient chromatographic separation of all studied BA and their metabolites have been optimized and validated. Analytical strategies for the identification of the BA and their minor metabolites have been developed. Taurine and glycine conjugates were identified in MS/MS by monitoring the specific ion transitions in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode while all other metabolites (sulphate, glucuronic acid, dehydroxylated, decarboxylated or oxo) were monitored in a selected-ion reaction (SIR) mode with a negative ESI interface by the following ions. Accurate and precise data where achieved regarding the main physicochemical properties including solubility, detergency, lipophilicity and albumin binding . These studies have shown that minor structural modification greatly affect the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of the new analogues in respect to the natural BA and on turn their site of action, particularly where their receptor are located in the enterohepatic circulation.

Urinary metabolomics in Fxr-null mice reveals activated adaptive metabolic pathways upon bile acid challenge

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor that regulates genes involved in synthesis, metabolism, and transport of bile acids and thus plays a major role in maintaining bile acid homeostasis. In this study, metabolomic responses were investigated in urine of wild-type and Fxr-null mice fed cholic acid, an FXR ligand, using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). Multivariate data analysis between wild-type and Fxr-null mice on a cholic acid diet revealed that the most increased ions were metabolites of p-cresol (4-methylphenol), corticosterone, and cholic acid in Fxr-null mice. The structural identities of the above metabolites were confirmed by chemical synthesis and by comparing retention time (RT) and/or tandem mass fragmentation patterns of the urinary metabolites with the authentic standards. Tauro-3alpha,6,7alpha,12alpha-tetrol (3alpha,6,7alpha,12alpha-tetrahydroxy-5beta-cholestan-26-oyltaurine), one of the most increased metabolites in Fxr-null mice on a CA diet, is a marker for efficient hydroxylation of toxic bile acids possibly through induction of Cyp3a11. A cholestatic model induced by lithocholic acid revealed that enhanced expression of Cyp3a11 is the major defense mechanism to detoxify cholestatic bile acids in Fxr-null mice. These results will be useful for identification of biomarkers for cholestasis and for determination of adaptive molecular mechanisms in cholestasis.

Régulation de la proprotéine convertase subtilisine / kexine type 9 (PCSK9) dans les cellules intestinales Caco-2/15

La proprotéine convertase subtilisine/kexine type 9 (PCSK9) favorise la dégradation post-transcriptionnelle du récepteur des lipoprotéines de faible densité (LDLr) dans les hépatocytes et augmente le LDL-cholestérol dans le plasma. Cependant, il n’est pas clair si la PCSK9 joue un rôle dans l’intestin. Dans cette étude, nous caractérisons les variations de la PCSK9 et du LDLr dans les cellules Caco-2/15 différentiées en fonction d’une variété d’effecteurs potentiels. Le cholestérol (100 µM) lié à l’albumine ou présenté en micelles a réduit de façon significative l’expression génique (30%, p<0,05) et l’expression protéique (50%, p<0,05) de la PCSK9. Étonnamment, une diminution similaire dans le LDLr protéique a été enregistrée (45%, p<0,05). Les cellules traitées avec le 25-hydroxycholestérol (50 µM) présentent également des réductions significatives dans l’ARNm (37%, p<0,01) et la protéine (75%, p<0,001) de la PCSK9. Une baisse des expressions génique (30%, p<0,05) et protéique (57%, p<0,01) a également été constatée dans le LDLr. Des diminutions ont aussi été observées pour la HMG CoA réductase et la protéine liant l’élément de réponse aux stérols SREBP-2. Il a été démontré que le SREBP-2 peut activer transcriptionnellement la PCSK9 par le biais de la liaison de SREBP-2 à son élément de réponse aux stérols situé dans la région proximale du promoteur de la PCSK9. Inversement, la déplétion du contenu cellulaire en cholestérol par l’hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrine a augmenté l’expression génique de la PCSK9 (20%, p<0,05) et son contenu protéique (540%, p<0,001), en parallèle avec les niveaux protéiques de SREBP-2. L’ajout des acides biliaires taurocholate et déoxycholate dans le milieu apical des cellules intestinales Caco-2/15 a provoqué une baisse d’expression génique (30%, p<0,01) et une hausse d’expression protéique (43%, p<0,01) de la PCSK9 respectivement, probablement via la modulation du FXR (farnesoid X receptor). Ces données combinées semblent donc indiquer que la PCSK9 fonctionne comme un senseur de stérols dans le petit intestin.

Carence en œstrogènes et bases moléculaires du métabolisme des triglycérides et du cholestérol dans le foie et l'intestin : effet de l'exercice physique

La stéatose hépatique et la détérioration du profil lipidique plasmatique sont des pathologies métaboliques favorisées par la carence œstrogénique post-ménopausique. Cependant les mécanismes à la base de ces pathologies n’ont été que très peu étudiés. Le but de cette thèse a été d’investiguer les mécanismes moléculaires possibles à l’origine de l’hypercholestérolémie et de l’accumulation des lipides (triglycérides : TG et cholestérol) dans le foie en utilisant un modèle animal de la ménopause, la rate Sprague Dawley ovariectomisée (Ovx). Nous avons également examiné si le changement des habitudes de vie comme la pratique de l’exercice physique pouvait prévenir ou corriger les modifications induites par l’Ovx. Enfin, rosuvastatine (statine) a été utilisée comme thérapie pharmacologique de l’hypercholestérolémie dans le but de comprendre son effet au niveau moléculaire chez la rate Ovx. L’objectif de la première étude était de déterminer comment l’Ovx peut affecter les niveaux de TG et de cholestérol dans le foie des rates nourries avec une diète riche en lipides (HF : 42% gras). Les rates ont été soumises à la diète HF ou normale pendant 6 semaines avant d’être Ovx ou Sham (ovariectomie simulée), puis maintenues aux mêmes conditions diététiques pour 6 autres semaines. L’Ovx a provoqué une accumulation de TG dans le foie, mais pas la diète HF seule. Cependant, lorsque l’Ovx était combinée à la diète HF, l’accumulation des TG était beaucoup plus importante comparé à ce qui était observé chez les rates Ovx soumises à la diète normale. L’expression génique (ARNm) de CPT1 (Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1), PGC1α (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1) et PPARα (Peroxysome proliferetor activated receptor alpha) intervenant dans l’oxydation des acides gras dans le foie était augmentée par la diète HF (p ˂ 0.001; p ˂ 0.01; p ˂ 0.05 respectivement) ; mais atténuée (p ˂ 0.05; p ˂ 0.05; p ˂ 0.07 respectivement) lorsque les rates ont été Ovx, favorisant ainsi l’accumulation des TG dans le foie. La combinaison de la diète HF à l’Ovx a également provoqué une hypercholestérolémie et une accumulation de cholestérol dans le foie malgré la diminution de l’expression de la HMGCoA-r (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase), enzyme clé de la synthèse du cholestérol. Ceci était associé à l’inhibition de l’expression génique de CYP7a1 (Cytochrome P450, family 7, subfamily a, polypeptide 1), suggérant une diminution de la synthèse des acides biliaires. Ayant constaté dans la première étude que l’Ovx élevait les niveaux de cholestérol hépatique et plasmatique, nous nous sommes fixés comme objectif dans la deuxième étude d’évaluer les effets de l’Ovx sur l’expression génique des transporteurs et enzymes responsables du métabolisme du cholestérol et des acides biliaires dans le foie et l’intestin, et de vérifier si l’exercice sur tapis roulant pouvait prévenir ou corriger les changements causés par l’Ovx. L’hypercholestérolémie constatée chez les rates Ovx comparativement aux Sham était accompagnée de la diminution de l’expression génique des récepteurs des LDL (R-LDL), des résidus de lipoprotéines (LRP1), de SREBP-2 (Sterol regulatory element binding protein 2) et de PCSK9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) dans le foie, suggérant une défaillance dans la clairance des lipoprotéines plasmatiques. L’Ovx a aussi inhibé l’expression génique de la MTP (Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein) et stimulé celle de SR-B1 (Scavenger receptor class B, member 1); mais aucun changement n’a été observé avec CYP7a1. Ces changements moléculaires pourraient par conséquent favoriser l’accumulation de cholestérol dans le foie. L’exercice physique n’a pas corrigé les modifications causées par l’Ovx sur l’expression génique de ces molécules au niveau hépatique à l’exception de SREBP-2. Par contre, au niveau intestinal (iléum), l’exercice sur tapis roulant a inhibé l’expression génique des marqueurs moléculaires intervenant dans l’absorption des acides biliaires (OSTα/β, FXR, RXRα, Fgf15) et du cholestérol (LXRα, NCP1L1) au niveau de l’iléum chez les rates Sham entraînées. Ces adaptations pourraient prévenir le développement de l’hypercholestérolémie protégeant en partie contre la survenue de l’athérosclérose. Au vue des effets délétères (hypercholestérolémie et diminution de l’expression du R-LDL, PCSK9, LRP1, SREBP-2 et HMGCOA-r dans le foie) causés par l’Ovx sur le métabolisme du cholestérol constatés dans l’étude 2, la 3ième étude a été conçue pour évaluer l’efficacité de rosuvastatine (Ros) sur l’expression génique de ces marqueurs moléculaires chez les rates Ovx sédentaires ou soumises à l’entraînement volontaire. Ros a été administrée aux rates Ovx pendant 21 jours par voie sous-cutanée à la dose de 5mg/kg/j à partir de la 9ième semaine après l’Ovx. Ros n’a pas diminué la concentration plasmatique de LDL-C et de TC chez les rates Ovx. Par contre, Ros a stimulé (P ˂ 0.05) l’expression génique de PCSK9, SREBP-2, LRP1, HMGCoA-r et ACAT2 (Acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase) mais pas significativement (P = 0.3) celle du R-LDL dans le foie des rates Ovx sédentaires et entraînées. Ros n’a pas réduit la concentration plasmatique de LDL-C probablement à cause de l’induction plus importante de PCSK9 par rapport au R-LDL. Cependant, la stimulation de LRP1 par Ros protège partiellement contre la survenue des maladies cardiovasculaires. En conclusion, les études de cette thèse indiquent que la baisse du niveau des œstrogènes entraîne des changements radicaux du métabolisme hépatique des TG et du cholestérol provoqués par des altérations de l’expression des gènes clés des voies métaboliques associées.

Semi-synthetic bile acids as novel drug candidate in liver diseases: physico-chemical characterization and HPLC-ES-MS/MS methods for their quali-quantitative analysis in different experimental animal models

The physico-chemical characterization, structure-pharmacokinetic and metabolism studies of new semi synthetic analogues of natural bile acids (BAs) drug candidates have been performed. Recent studies discovered a role of BAs as agonists of FXR and TGR5 receptor, thus opening new therapeutic target for the treatment of liver diseases or metabolic disorders. Up to twenty new semisynthetic analogues have been synthesized and studied in order to find promising novel drugs candidates. In order to define the BAs structure-activity relationship, their main physico-chemical properties (solubility, detergency, lipophilicity and affinity with serum albumin) have been measured with validated analytical methodologies. Their metabolism and biodistribution has been studied in “bile fistula rat”, model where each BA is acutely administered through duodenal and femoral infusion and bile collected at different time interval allowing to define the relationship between structure and intestinal absorption and hepatic uptake ,metabolism and systemic spill-over. One of the studied analogues, 6α-ethyl-3α7α-dihydroxy-5β-cholanic acid, analogue of CDCA (INT 747, Obeticholic Acid (OCA)), recently under approval for the treatment of cholestatic liver diseases, requires additional studies to ensure its safety and lack of toxicity when administered to patients with a strong liver impairment. For this purpose, CCl4 inhalation to rat causing hepatic decompensation (cirrhosis) animal model has been developed and used to define the difference of OCA biodistribution in respect to control animals trying to define whether peripheral tissues might be also exposed as a result of toxic plasma levels of OCA, evaluating also the endogenous BAs biodistribution. An accurate and sensitive HPLC-ES-MS/MS method is developed to identify and quantify all BAs in biological matrices (bile, plasma, urine, liver, kidney, intestinal content and tissue) for which a sample pretreatment have been optimized.

New analytical LC-mass spectrometry methodologies for the quali-quantitative determination of natural substances and drugs in complex matrices

This thesis reports an integrated analytical and physicochemical approach for the study of natural substances and new drugs based on mass spectrometry techniques combined with liquid chromatography. In particular, Chapter 1 concerns the study of Berberine a natural substance with pharmacological activity for the treatment of hepatobiliary and intestinal diseases. The first part focused on the relationships between physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics and metabolism of Berberine and its metabolites. For this purpose a sensitive HPLC-ES-MS/MS method have been developed, validated and used to determine these compounds during their physicochemical properties studies and plasma levels of berberine and its metabolites including berberrubine(M1), demethylenberberine(M3), and jatrorrhizine(M4) in humans. Data show that M1, could have an efficient intestinal absorption by passive diffusion due to a keto-enol tautomerism confirmed by NMR studies and its higher plasma concentration. In the second part of Chapter 1, a comparison between M1 and BBR in vivo biodistribution in rat has been studied. In Chapter 2 a new HPLC-ES-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination and quantification of glucosinolates, as glucoraphanin, glucoerucin and sinigrin, and isothiocyanates, as sulforaphane and erucin, has developed and validated. This method has been used for the analysis of functional foods enriched with vegetable extracts. Chapter 3 focused on a physicochemical study of the interaction between the bile acid sequestrants used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia including colesevelam and cholestyramine with obeticolic acid (OCA), potent agonist of nuclear receptor farnesoid X (FXR). In particular, a new experimental model for the determination of equilibrium binding isotherm was developed. Chapter 4 focused on methodological aspects of new hard ionization coupled with liquid chromatography (Direct-EI-UHPLC-MS) not yet commercially available and potentially useful for qualitative analysis and for “transparent” molecules to soft ionization techniques. This method was applied to the analysis of several steroid derivatives.

Regulation of human liver delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase by bile acids

Aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of heme synthesis in the liver and is highly regulated to adapt to the metabolic demand of the hepatocyte. In the present study, we describe human hepatic ALAS1 as a new direct target of the bile acid-activated nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR). Experiments in primary human hepatocytes and in human liver slices showed that ALAS1 messenger RNA (mRNA) and activity is increased upon exposure to chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), the most potent natural FXR ligand, or the synthetic FXR-specific agonist GW4064. Moreover, overexpression of a constitutively active form of FXR further increased ALAS1 mRNA expression. In agreement with these observations, an FXR response element was identified in the 5' flanking region of human ALAS1 and characterized in reporter gene assays. A highly conserved FXR binding site (IR1) within a 175-bp fragment at -13 kilobases upstream of the transcriptional start site was able to trigger an FXR-specific increase in luciferase activity upon CDCA treatment. Site-directed mutagenesis of IR1 abolished this effect. Binding of FXR/retinoid acid X receptor heterodimers was demonstrated by mobility gel shift experiments. Conclusion: These data strongly support a role of bile acid-activated FXR in the regulation of human ALAS1 and, consequently, hepatic porphyrin and heme synthesis. These data also suggest that elevated endogenous bile acids may precipitate neuropsychiatric attacks in patients with acute hepatic porphyrias.

Bile Acids Induce Glucagon-Like Peptide 2 Secretion with Limited Effects on Intestinal Adaptation in Early Weaned Pigs

Early weaning is a stressful event characterized by a transient period of intestinal atrophy that may be mediated by reduced secretion of glucagon-like peptide (GLP) 2. We tested whether enterally fed bile acids or plant sterols could increase nutrient-dependent GLP-2 secretion and improve intestinal adaptation in weanling pigs. During the first 6 d after weaning, piglets were intragastrically infused once daily with either deionized water -control-, chenodeoxycholic acid -CDC; 60mg/kg body weight-, or b-sitoesterol -BSE; 100 mg/kg body weight-. Infusing CDC increased plasma GLP-2 -P menor que 0.05- but did not affect plasma GLP-1 and feed intake. The intestinal expression of Glp2r -glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor-, Asbt -sodium-dependent bile acid transporter-, Fxr -farnesoid X receptor-, and Tgr5 -guanosine protein?coupled bile acid receptor- genes were not affected by CDC treatment. The intragastric administration of CDC did not alter the weight and length of the intestine, yet increased the activation of caspase-3 in ileal villi -P menor que 0.02- and the expression of Il6 -interleukin 6; P menor que 0.002- in the jejunum. In contrast, infusing BSE did not affect any of the variables that were measured. Our results show that the enteral administration of the bile acid CDC potentiates the nutrient-induced secretion of endogenous GLP-2 in early-weaned pigs. Bile acid?enhanced release of GLP-2, however, did not result in improved intestinal growth, morphology, or inflammation during the postweaning degenerative phase.

A highly conserved protein family interacting with the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and displaying selective interactions with FMRP-related proteins FXR1P and FXR2P

The absence of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), encoded by the FMR1 gene, is responsible for pathologic manifestations in the Fragile X Syndrome, the most frequent cause of inherited mental retardation. FMRP is an RNA-binding protein associated with polysomes as part of a messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complex. Although its function is poorly understood, various observations suggest a role in local protein translation at neuronal dendrites and in dendritic spine maturation. We present here the identification of CYFIP1/2 (Cytoplasmic FMRP Interacting Proteins) as FMRP interactors. CYFIP1/2 share 88% amino acid sequence identity and represent the two members in humans of a highly conserved protein family. Remarkably, whereas CYFIP2 also interacts with the FMRP-related proteins FXR1P/2P, CYFIP1 interacts exclusively with FMRP. FMRP–CYFIP interaction involves the domain of FMRP also mediating homo- and heteromerization, thus suggesting a competition between interaction among the FXR proteins and interaction with CYFIP. CYFIP1/2 are proteins of unknown function, but CYFIP1 has recently been shown to interact with the small GTPase Rac1, which is implicated in development and maintenance of neuronal structures. Consistent with FMRP and Rac1 localization in dendritic fine structures, CYFIP1/2 are present in synaptosomal extracts.

Farnesoid X receptor agonism - a new approach to the treatment of cholesterol gallstone disease

Gallstone disease is very common among native Americans and Hispanics, and similar to 20 million patients are treated for this disease annually in the US. The nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is the receptor for bile acids, and GW4064 is a synthetic agonist at the FXR. FXR-/- mice fed a lithogenic diet (high fat, cholesterol and cholic acid) are more susceptible to gallstone disease than wild-type mice with the same mixed background, thus establishing that the ablation of FXR is associated with this disease. The C57L mouse is susceptible to gallstone formation. When C57L mice are fed a lithogenic diet for a week, the bile contains large aggregates of cholesterol precipitates, and two of five C57L mice had macroscopic cholesterol crystals. in contrast, when C57L mice were fed the lithogenic diet and administered GW4064 100 mg/kg/day by oral gavage, there was no precipitation of cholesterol. Treatment with this agent also increased bile salt and phospholipid concentration, and prevented gallbladder epithelium damage. As FXR agonism with GW4064 has been shown to be useful in a mouse model of cholesterol gallstone disease, it should undergo further development for the treatment of this condition.
