    Kurzfassung: Obese men have lower circulating testosterone than men with an optimal body mass index. Elevated fatty acids (FAs) caused by obesity have been reported to suppress the steroidogenesis of Leydig cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that autophagy regulates steroidogenesis in endocrine cells; however, few studies have investigated the molecular mechanisms of FA-impaired steroidogenesis. To study FA regulation in the steroidogenesis of Leydig cells, MA-10 cells were treated with an FA mixture and co-treated with 8-Br-cAMP to stimulate the steroidogenesis capacity. We showed that FAs led to cellular lipid accumulation and decreased steroidogenesis of MA-10 cells, and FA-suppressed steroidogenesis was largely recovered by P5 treatment but not by 22R-OHC treatment, suggesting the primary defect was the deficiency of CYP11A1. To examine the involvement of autophagy in the steroidogenesis of Leydig cells, we treated MA-10 cells with autophagy regulators, including rapamycin, bafilomycin, and chloroquine. Inhibition of late-stage autophagy including FA-upregulated Rubicon suppressed the steroidogenesis of MA-10 cells. More interestingly, Rubicon played a novel regulatory role in the steroidogenesis of MA-10 cells, independent of inhibitors of late-stage autophagy. Collectively, this study provides novel targets to investigate the interaction between FAs and steroidogenesis in steroidogenic cells.

    Kurzfassung: Previous studies have demonstrated that saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are more lipotoxic than unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) in inhibiting hepatic autophagy and promoting non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, there have been few studies have investigated the effects of carbon chain length on SFA-induced autophagy impairment and lipotoxicity. To investigate whether SFAs with shorter carbon chain lengths have differential effects on hepatic autophagy and NASH development, we partially replaced lard with coconut oil to elevate the ratio of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) to long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in a mouse high-fat diet (HFD) and fed mice for 16 weeks. In addition, we treated HepG2 cells with different combinations of fatty acids to study the mechanisms of MCFAs-mediated hepatic protections. Our results showed that increasing dietary MCFA/LCFA ratio mitigated HFD-induced Type 2 diabetes and NASH in mice. Importantly, we demonstrated that increased MCFA ratio exerted its protective effects by restoring Rubicon-suppressed autophagy. Our study suggests that the relative amount of LCFAs and MCFAs in the diet, in addition to the amount of SFAs, can significantly contribute to autophagy impairment and hepatic lipotoxicity. Collectively, we propose that increasing dietary MCFAs could be an alternative therapeutic and prevention strategy for Type 2 diabetes and NASH.

    Kurzfassung: Disclosure: Y.P. Budi: None. M. Hsu: None. Y. Lin: None. Y. Lee: None. H. Chiu: None. C. Chiu: None. Y. Jiang: None. In the female reproductive system, mitochondria play a crucial role in steroid hormone synthesis. Literature reports on changes in mitochondrial dynamics throughout the ovarian cycle, but its role in the ovarian cycle is still unknown. In this study, a mitochondrial fusion promotor, M1, was used to study the impact of mitochondrial dynamics in the female reproductive system. The estrus cycle of mice was monitored before, during, and after the M1 treatment to test the impact of M1 on ovarian functions. Our results showed that M1 treatment in mice leads to the disruptions of estrous cycles in vagina smears. To observe the acute effects of M1, serum hormones level was observed, and the decrease in serum LH and progesterone was recorded in the animal. Similarly, our ovarian tissue culture also indicates inhibitions of progesterone secretion and ovulations. Although no significant changes in mitochondrial networks were observed in the ovaries, there was significant up-regulation of mitochondrial respiratory complexes in M1 treatments through transcriptomic analysis. In contrast to the estrogen and steroid biosynthesis up-regulated in M1, the extracellular matrix molecules, remodeling enzymes, and adhesion signaling decreased. Collectively, our study provides novel targets to regulate the ovarian cycles through the mitochondria. However, more studies are still necessary to provide the functional connections between mitochondria and the female reproductive system. Presentation: Saturday, June 17, 2023

    Kurzfassung: Kisspeptin acts as an upstream regulator of the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis, which is one of the main regulatory systems for mammalian reproduction. Kiss1 and its receptor Kiss1r (also known as G protein-coupled receptor 54 ( Gpr54 )) are expressed in various organs, but their functions are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression profiles and functions of kisspeptin and KISS1R in the reproductive tissues of imprinting control region mice. To identify the expression pattern and location of kisspeptin and KISS1R in gonads, testes and ovarian tissues were examined by immunohistochemical or immunofluorescent staining. Kisspeptin and KISS1R were expressed primarily in Leydig cells and seminiferous tubules respectively. KISS1R was specifically localized in the acrosomal region of spermatids and mature spermatozoa. Kisspeptin, but not KISS1R, was expressed in the cumulus–oocyte complex and oviductal epithelium of ovarian and oviductal tissues. The sperm intracellular calcium concentrations significantly increased in response to treatment with kisspeptin 10 in Fluo-4-loaded sperm. The IVF rates decreased after treatment of sperm with the kisspeptin antagonist peptide 234. These results suggest that kisspeptin and KISS1R might be involved in the fertilization process in the female reproductive tract. In summary, this study indicates that kisspeptin and KISS1R are expressed in female and male gametes, respectively, and in mouse reproductive tissues. These data strongly suggest that the kisspeptin system could regulate mammalian fertilization and reproduction.

    Kurzfassung: Kisspeptin and its receptor KISS1R have been proven as pivotal regulators on controlling the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis. Inactivating mutations in one of them cause idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in human as well as rodent models. Notably, gonadotropin insensitivity, failure in hCG response, was presented in the male patients with loss-function-mutations in KISS1R gene; this reveals the essential role of KISS1R signaling in regulating testosterone production beyond the hypothalamic functions of kisspeptin. In this study, we hypothesized that the autocrine action of kisspeptin on Leydig cells may modulate steroidogenesis. Based on the mouse cell model, we first demonstrated that the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway mediated gonadotropin-induced kisspeptin expression. By using siRNA interfering technique, knockdown of Kiss1r in MA-10 cells, a mouse Leydig tumor cell line, significantly reduced progesterone productions in both basal and hCG-treated conditions. Integrating the results from both quantitative real-time PCR and steroidogenic enzyme-activity assay, we found that this steroidogenic defect was associated with decreased luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor ( Lhcgr ) and StAR protein ( Star ) expressions. Furthermore, exogenous expression of human LHCGR completely rescued hCG-stimulated progesterone production in the KISS1R-deficient cells. In conclusion, we proposed that the reproductive functions of KISS1R signaling in Leydig cell include modulating Lhcgr and steroidogenic gene expressions, which may shed the light on the pathophysiology of gonadotropin insensitivity.

    Kurzfassung: After ovulation, the mitochondrial enzyme CYP11A1 cleavage the cholesterol into pregnenolone for progesterone synthesis, suggesting that mitochondrial dynamics play a vital role in the female reproductive system.

    Kurzfassung: Previous studies have demonstrated the important role of kisspeptin in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In addition, it was reported that the activation of autophagy in pancreatic β-cells decreases insulin secretion by selectively degrading insulin granules. However, it is currently unknown whether kisspeptin suppresses GSIS in β-cells by activating autophagy. To investigate the involvement of autophagy in kisspeptin–regulated insulin secretion, we overexpressed Kiss1 in NIT-1 cells to mimic the long-term exposure of pancreatic β-cells to kisspeptin during type 2 diabetes (T2D). Interestingly, our data showed that although kisspeptin potently decreases the intracellular proinsulin and insulin ((pro)insulin) content and insulin secretion of NIT-1 cells, autophagy inhibition using bafilomycin A1 and Atg5 siRNAs only rescues basal insulin secretion, not kisspeptin-impaired GSIS. We also generated a novel in vivo model to investigate the long-term exposure of kisspeptin by osmotic pump. The in vivo data demonstrated that kisspeptin lowers GSIS and (pro)insulin levels and also activated pancreatic autophagy in mice. Collectively, our data demonstrated that kisspeptin suppresses both GSIS and non-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of pancreatic β-cells, but only non-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion depends on activated autophagic degradation of (pro)insulin. Our study provides novel insights for the development of impaired insulin secretion during T2D progression.
