项目摘要
ABSTRACT
The long-term objectives of this project are to acquire fundamental knowledge about the role of aryl
hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) in energy metabolism and to better understand the mechanistic underpinnings of
metabolic disease. The AHR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates gene expression via site-
specific DNA binding. Recent data have implicated the AHR in transcriptional modulation of the metabolic
hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). FGF21 is secreted from the liver and promotes a thermogenic
brown adipose tissue-like phenotype in white fat deposits. Exogenous FGF21 administration in various models
of obesity consistently results in reduced weight gain and fat deposition. My previous data indicate that the
activation of Fgf21 gene expression by several different transcription factors is attenuated with pre-exposure to
AHR agonist, but the mechanism for this is unclear. Since the original submission, I have generated data that
demonstrate AHR loss promotes weight loss, hepatocyte FGF21 output, and the formation of a brown adipose
tissue-like phenotype in perigonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT). Utilizing a hepatocyte-targeted AHR-FGF21
double knockout (DKO) mouse model, I further show that this phenotype is dependent upon FGF21 expression.
Preliminary data indicate that AHR loss protects against a high-fat diet (HFD) challenge by reducing weight
gain and adiposity. The underlying hypothesis of the proposed research is that AHR loss releases constitutive
AHR-dependent suppression of Fgf21 transcription to protect against HFD-induced obesity. To test this
hypothesis, two specific aims are proposed. The first specific aim will characterize how AHR deletion can
protect against high-fat dietary challenge through increased hepatocyte FGF21 production, and employs a
sophisticated in vivo methodology to reintroduce AHR expression into AHR-deficient mice and FGF21
expression into DKO mice. Specific aim two will interrogate the mechanism via which the AHR modulates
Fgf21 transcription within a native chromatin setting. Chromatin immunoprecipitations and state-of-the-art
CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing techniques will be used in this aim to reconcile AHR agonist-driven changes in
Fgf21 gene expression with temporal AHR binding events at three specific DREs within the Fgf21 promoter.
Successful completion of the proposed studies will provide a comprehensive assessment of how the AHR
modulates hepatic Fgf21 expression, help cultivate a better molecular understanding of the role of the AHR in
energy homeostasis, and may identify the AHR as a potential ‘druggable’ target in the development of
therapeutic treatments against metabolic disease. Consistent with the applicant’s career development
objectives, the proposed innovative experiments and mentored training plan are tailored to provide training in
sophisticated techniques and to aid in the transition to independence.
