BACKGROUND: Visceral fat accumulation increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and is associated with excessive glucocorticoids (GCs). Fat depot-specific GC action is tightly controlled by 11SS-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11SS-HSD1) coupled with the enzyme hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH). Mice with inactivation or activation of H6PDH genes show altered adipose 11SS-HSD1 activity and lipid storage. We hypothesized that adipose tissue H6PDH activation is a leading cause for the visceral obesity and insulin resistance. Here, we explored the role and possible mechanism of enhancing adipose H6PDH in the development of visceral adiposity in vivo.METHODS: We investigated the potential contribution of adipose H6PDH activation to the accumulation of visceral fat by characterization of visceral fat obese gene expression profiles, fat distribution, adipocyte metabolic molecules, and abdominal fat-specific GC signaling mechanisms underlying the diet-induced visceral obesity and insulin resistance in H6PDH transgenic mice fed a standard of high-fat diet (HFD).RESULTS: Transgenic H6PDH mice display increased abdominal fat accumulation, which is paralleled by elevated lipid synthesis associated with induction of lipogenic transcriptor C/EBP alpha and PPAR gamma mRNA levels within adipose tissue. Transgenic H6PDH mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) gained more abdominal visceral fat mass coupled with activation of GSK3 beta and induction of XBP1/IRE1 alpha, but reduced pThr(308) Akt/PKB content and browning gene CD137 and GLUT4 mRNA levels within the visceral adipose tissue than WT controls. HFD-fed H6PDH transgenic mice also had impaired insulin sensitivity and exhibited elevated levels of intra-adipose GCs with induction of adipose 11SS-HSD1.CONCLUSION: These data provide the first in vivo mechanistic evidence for the adverse metabolic effects of adipose H6PDH activation on visceral fat distribution, fat metabolism, and adipocyte function through enhancing 11 beta-HSD1-driven intra-adipose GC action.
