Abstract
Finding new molecular pathways and strategies modulating lipolysis in adipocytes is an attractive goal of the current research. Indeed, it is becoming clear that several human age-related pathologies are caused by adipose tissue expansion and altered lipid metabolism. In the present work, we show that transcription factor forkhead homeobox type protein O1 (FoxO1) is upregulated by nutrient restriction (NR) in adipocytes and exerts the transcriptional control of lipid catabolism via the induction of lysosomal acid lipase (Lipa). An increased autophagy and colocalization of lipid droplets (LDs) with lysosomes was observed implying lipophagy in Lipa-mediated LDs degradation. Interestingly, we found that metformin (Metf), a biguanide drug commonly used to treat type-2 diabetes, exerts effects comparable to that of NR. Actually, it was able to elicit FoxO1-dependent Lipa induction as well as LDs degradation through lipophagy. Moreover, we demonstrate that, during NR or Metf treatment, free fatty acids released by Lipa are directed toward AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated mitochondrial oxidation, thus maintaining energetic homeostasis in adipocytes. In conclusion, our data show that lysosomal-mediated lipid catabolism is activated by NR in adipocytes and give further support to the use of Metf as a NR mimetic to combat age-related diseases associated with altered lipid metabolism.

Indeed, it is becoming clear that several human age-related pathologies are caused by adipose tissue expansion and altered lipid metabolism. In the present work, we show that transcription factor forkhead homeobox type protein O1 (FoxO1) is upregulated by nutrient restriction (NR) in adipocytes and exerts the transcriptional control of lipid catabolism via the induction of lysosomal acid lipase (Lipa). An increased autophagy and colocalization of lipid droplets (LDs) with lysosomes was observed implying lipophagy in Lipa-mediated LDs degradation. Interestingly, we found that metformin (Metf), a biguanide drug commonly used to treat type-2 diabetes, exerts effects comparable to that of NR. Actually, it was able to elicit FoxO1-dependent Lipa induction as well as LDs degradation through lipophagy. Moreover, we demonstrate that, during NR or Metf treatment, free fatty acids released by Lipa are directed toward AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated mitochondrial oxidation, thus maintaining energetic homeostasis in adipocytes. In conclusion, our data show that lysosomal-mediated lipid catabolism is activated by NR in adipocytes and give further support to the use of Metf as a NR mimetic to combat age-related diseases associated with altered lipid metabolism.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>aging</kwd><kwd>ATGL</kwd><kwd>lipid metabolism</kwd><kwd>adipose tissue</kwd><kwd>autophagy</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><p>Biological aging is typically characterized by a progressive increase in body fat mass. Excess or abnormal fat accumulation may set adverse effects on health and decrease life expectancy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib1">1</xref></sup> Actually, heightened adipose tissue (AT) accumulation, especially of visceral AT, amplifies the risk of developing various age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes mellitus and certain types of cancer.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref></sup> White AT is by far the largest storage site of lipids in the body in the form of neutral lipids, for example, triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol-esters.

It has been demonstrated that intracellular lipid mobilization is particularly advantageous during NR, and lipophagy-mediated FFAs liberation essentially serves to maintain cellular energy homeostasis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib14">14</xref></sup></p><p>In AT, the role of autophagy is still controversial. Indeed, it regulates AT development, being essential for adipocytes differentiation.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref></sup> Accordingly, increased autophagy in AT has been associated with obesity and type-2 diabetes in mice and humans.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib17">17</xref></sup> More recently, autophagy has been implicated in LDs degradation in fat cells both under basal and hormone-stimulated lipolysis,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib18">18</xref></sup> thus implicating it in FFAs release from AT and possibly fat mass decrease.</p><p>It is now clearly evident that an imbalance between the hydrolysis and synthesis of TG is involved in excessive fat pad accumulation and critical for the development of age-related metabolic disorders. For this reason, the manipulation of lipid metabolism at pharmacological level represents an attractive strategy to extend life and healthspan. Among the emerging antiaging drugs, metformin (Metf) is included.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib21">21</xref></sup> It is currently used as an oral antidiabetic particularly in overweight and obese subjects.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">22</xref></sup> Besides the well-recognized hypoglycemizing action, thanks to its ability to increase peripheral glucose uptake, Metf has been found to induce autophagy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib23">23</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib24">24</xref></sup> Metf was shown to cause a mild energetic drop thus mimicking a NR-related state.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib25">25</xref></sup> Notwithstanding, the exact mechanisms behind the geroprotective effect of Metf are not still clearly established, particularly those related to regulation of lipid metabolism in AT.</p><p>Despite adipocytes are considered the main cells able to accumulate lipids in the form of TG, scarce evidence exists regarding the role of autophagy in regulation of TG breakdown.

In 3T3-L1 murine adipocytes, we observed a progressive increase of FoxO1 protein level during NR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1a</xref>), which was accompanied by a time-dependent induction of Lipa and ATGL protein levels (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1a</xref>). In particular, we detected an earlier induction of Lipa (as soon as 2 h) with respect to ATGL (starting at 4 h). Further, a concomitant increased mRNA expression of Lipa and ATGL was detected in 3T3-L1 adipocytes 4 h after NR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1b</xref>). The nutrient-sensing feature of FoxO1 and Lipa was confirmed by refeeding NR 3T3-L1 adipocytes with complete cell culture medium. Indeed, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1c</xref> shows that FoxO1 protein returns to basal level as soon as 4 h from nutrients replenishment. Concomitantly, a reduction of Lipa protein levels was observed. Similar results were obtained by analyzing ATGL protein levels during refeeding of NR 3T3-L1 adipocytes (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 1A</xref>).</p><p>Being the regulatory role of FoxO1 on ATGL induction already demonstrated in mammals,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib9">9</xref></sup> we focused our work on the control of FoxO1 on Lipa gene expression during NR. FoxO1 orchestrates the expression of its target genes primarily translocating into nuclear compartment under several stress stimuli.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib27">27</xref></sup> As expected, NR promoted a prompt time-dependent FoxO1 nuclear accumulation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1d</xref>). Successively, to determine whether Lipa was a direct target of FoxO1 activation, we analyzed its promoter and found one <italic>TAAACT</italic>-binding site (FoxO1RE) located at −51<italic> </italic>bp from the start codon. Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) carried out on NR 3T3-L1 adipocytes revealed about threefold increase of FoxO1 binding to FoxO1RE when compared with controls (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1e</xref>). To confirm the orchestrating role of FoxO1 in Lipa expression, we downregulated FoxO1 by RNAi (FoxO1(−)) in NR 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Accordingly, FoxO1(−) cells displayed diminished levels of Lipa protein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1f</xref> and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 1B</xref>) and mRNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1g</xref>).</p><p>Some reports suggest that Metf can extend lifespan and ameliorate healthspan in mammals by inducing a NR-like state.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref></sup> A potential NR-mimicking effect of Metf has been related to its efficiency to reduce fat mass.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib28">28</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">29</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib30">30</xref></sup> However, even if the mechanisms by which NR reduces fat mass are widely documented, those regarding Metf remain unknown. In order to test whether Metf could affect lipid catabolism by the above-described pathway, we added this drug to 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Metf (5 mM) stimulated a time-dependent increase of Lipa, starting at 8 h of treatment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1h</xref> and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 1C</xref>). This event was associated with FoxO1 upregulation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1h</xref>) and its nuclear translocation, as assessed by both confocal microscopy (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1i</xref>) and western blot analysis on nuclear protein extracts (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 1D</xref>). ChIP-qPCR analysis revealed that FoxO1-binding activity on Lipa promoter was significantly enhanced in 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with Metf for 16 h (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1e</xref>) and this event was associated with increased Lipa mRNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1j</xref>). Moreover, similar to NR, Lipa upregulation was buffered in FoxO1(−) cells treated with Metf (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1k</xref>), further corroborating the implication of FoxO1 in the modulation of Lipa expression.</p><p>We thus attempted at comparing the effect of NR and Metf <italic>in vivo</italic>. To this end, adult mice (5 months) were nutrient restricted (NR) by 24 h fasting or treated with 400 mg/kg of Metf for 10 days. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2a</xref> shows that visceral (epididymal) AT of Metf-treated mice displays an increased FoxO1 protein level that was similar to that observed in mice subjected to NR. Coherently, upon Metf treatment heightened Lipa upregulation was also observed both in terms of protein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2a</xref>) and mRNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2b</xref>). Moreover, an increased FoxO1 binding on Lipa promoter was effective both in NR- and Metf-treated mice (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2c</xref>), involving FoxO1 in modulation of Lipa also in <italic>in vivo</italic>.</p></sec><sec><title>Metabolic stress induces lipophagy in adipocytes</title><p>Although we did not reveal any changes in total body weight of NR- and Metf-treated mice, AT mass underwent a significant reduction (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3a</xref>). NR and Metf were effective also in reducing intracellular TG content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In particular, by using Oil Red-O (ORO) staining, we found a significant decrease of stored TG both during NR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3b</xref>) and Metf treatment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3c</xref>). Accordingly, perilipin (PLIN), a protein specific for the LDs surface, progressively declined in 3T3-L1 adipocytes during such treatments (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figures 3b and c</xref>).</p><p>These results, together with the outlined Lipa induction, prompted us to evaluate whether autophagy was involved in lipid degradation. Thus, canonical autophagic markers were examined during either NR or Metf treatment in adipose cells. Although at different times and with dissimilar efficiency, we found that the lipidated form of LC3 (LC3-II) as well as LC3-II/LC3-I ratio resulted progressively increased in 3T3-L1 adipocytes either subjected to NR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3d</xref>) or treated with Metf (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3e</xref>). The same results were obtained in epididymal AT of NR- and Metf-treated mice (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3f</xref>). Successively, we quantified the level of autophagy through cytofluorimetric analysis by staining cells with acridine orange, a lysotropic dye accumulating in acidic organelles.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib31">31</xref></sup> Interestingly, either NR or Metf were able to increase the rate of adipocytes that underwent autophagy (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 2A</xref>). Finally, during NR and Metf treatment we observed a reduction of phosphoactive form of p70 S6 kinase (S6K1; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figures 3d and e</xref>), a well-known downstream target of the antiautophagic mTOR.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib32">32</xref></sup></p><p>To understand the contribution of autolysosomal activity, we analyzed the content of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1), a component of the lysosomal membrane. In line with the results showing the accumulation of lysosomal-resident Lipa, NR and Metf treatment upregulated both protein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3f</xref>) and mRNA (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 2B</xref>) levels of LAMP1 in AT.</p><p>To confirm the involvement of autophagy in lipid catabolism, we carried out colocalization analyses by confocal microscopy. 3T3-L1 adipocytes were transfected with green fluorescent protein-tagged LC3 expression vector (enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-LC3) and stained with PLIN to locate the autophagolysosome-targeted LDs. Under basal conditions, EGFP-LC3 signal appeared substantially diffused, indicating a low rate of autophagy; however, a small amount of EGFP-LC3 colocalized with PLIN (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4a</xref>). Upon 16 h of NR or Metf treatment, there was a marked increase of punctate EGFP-LC3 that tightly colocalized with PLIN (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4a</xref>).</p><p>Next, we examined the possible Lipa association with LDs surface marked with PLIN. Under resting condition, a minor subset of Lipa was found to colocalize with PLIN (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4b</xref>). Upon 8 h of NR and Metf treatment, there was an enhancement of Lipa-derived signal and its redistribution around LDs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4b</xref>). Moreover, a significant increased colocalization of LIPA with PLIN was observed in NR- and Metf-treated cells with respect to control (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4b</xref>). Successively, to further confirm the effectiveness of NR and Metf treatment on packaging and delivery of lysosomes to LDs, we probed LDs by Nile Red and examined the distribution of lysosomes by LAMP1 staining. According to the above-described results, an enhanced LAMP1 redistribution around LDs was observed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes after NR and Metf treatment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4c</xref>), thus finally implying lipophagy in adipocyte lipid catabolism.</p></sec><sec><title>AMPK restrains energetic catastrophe driving Lipa-released fatty acids to oxidation</title><p>Interestingly, although we revealed a reduced TG content, no increase in glycerol and FFAs in culture medium of NR- and Metf-treated adipocytes were observed (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5a</xref>). In particular, a reduced level of FFAs was detected in culture medium at earlier times of NR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5a</xref>: upper panel), implying that adipocytes preferentially use FFAs as an energetic reservoir during metabolic stress. These phenomena suggested that LDs-deriving FFAs might be funneled toward oxidation. It is well recognized that NR and Metf represent strong inducers of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib25">25</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">33</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref></sup> Generally, during metabolic stress AMPK assures cell survival maintaining adequate cellular energy balance by modulating the expression of genes involved in ATP-generating pathways through FFAs oxidation.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib37">37</xref></sup> On the basis of these findings, we firstly verified whether the energy-sensing AMPK could be modulated by NR and Metf treatment in adipocytes. We found that, after such treatments, a time-dependent increase of the phosphoactive form of AMPK (AMPKpT172) was triggered in 3T3-L1 adipocytes (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figures 5b and c</xref>). Similarly, AT from NR- and Metf-treated mice showed a phosphoactivation of AMPK (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5d</xref>). AMPK activation was also accompanied by an increased expression of key downstream genes controlling lipid oxidation, that is, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-1<italic>α</italic>, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-<italic>α</italic>, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1b and acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5e</xref>).</p><p>Similar to in <italic>in vivo</italic> data, we found that also 4 h NR and 16 h Metf treatment elicited a prominent increase of lipid oxidative genes (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6a</xref>). To imply AMPK in the adaptive response to NR and Metf, we transfected 3T3-L1 adipocytes with a dominant-negative form of AMPK (DN-AMPK). DN-AMPK cells showed a dampened expression of lipid oxidative genes upon NR and Metf treatments (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6a</xref>), which was accompanied by an energetic drop, as demonstrated by the decline of ATP levels (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6b</xref>). Further, a massive release of FFAs in culture medium of DN-AMPK cells was revealed upon both NR and Metf treatment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6c</xref>), suggesting that, under this condition, liberated FFAs were not directed toward oxidation. Similar results were obtained by supplementing NR- and Metf-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with 20 <italic>μ</italic>M compound-C, a chemical inhibitor of AMPK (data not shown). Successively, we observed that upon NR, the inhibition of AMPK led to an exacerbated induction of apoptosis, as demonstrated by the enhanced levels of cleaved PARP-1 and caspase-3 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6d</xref>: left panel) as well as an augmented percentage of sub G1 cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6d</xref>: right panel). DN-AMPK adipocytes showed increased susceptibility also to Metf; indeed, they displayed a higher degree of PARP-1 and caspase-3 cleavage at 16 h after Metf treatment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6e</xref>). Importantly, inhibition of AMPK activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes did not significantly affect FoxO1-Lipa axis and LC3-II levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes upon NR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6f</xref>), indicating that AMPK was not involved in orchestrating lipophagy.</p><p>Finally, to better understand the role of Lipa upregulation in releasing FFAs under NR, we downregulated Lipa by RNAi (Lipa(−)) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig7">Figure 7a</xref>, Lipa(−) cells were highly susceptible to NR, showing an increased rate of apoptosis, as assessed by the analysis of PARP-1 and caspase-3 cleavage. These events were associated with a significant reduction of the NR-mediated TG degradation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig7">Figure 7b</xref>) and induction of lipid oxidative genes (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig7">Figure 7c</xref>). As expected, no changes were observed in FFAs extracellular release after Lipa downregulation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig7">Figure 7d</xref>).</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="discussion"><title>Discussion</title><p>To date, FFAs release from adipocytes lipid stores has been ascribed to the activation of the cytosolic neutral lipases cascade, among which ATGL represents the rate-limiting enzyme.

Notwithstanding, the role of lipophagy in LDs remodeling in adipocytes has been poorly characterized. In this work, we have demonstrated that lipophagy represents an alternative pathway of TG degradation upon NR in adipocytes.

Our data suggest that FoxO1 activation provides an additional pathway to consume stored TG in AT independently of hormonal-mediated canonical lipolysis, supporting the notion that the lack of FoxO1 leads to expanded adipose mass and consequently reduced lifespan in mice.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib39">39</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib40">40</xref></sup> Interestingly, FoxO1 is a master regulator of the expression of other autophagic genes;<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib8">8</xref></sup> thus, it can be postulated that also in our experimental model, apart from inducing Lipa-mediated lipolysis, FoxO1 can modulate the constitution of the overall autophagy machinery.</p><p>One of the goals of recent aging research is the identification of drugs that lower the incidence of age-related disorders by promoting youthful physiology. A candidate chemical for achieving this extended healthspan is Metf, a biguanides widely used to treat type-2 diabetes and linked to promoting a broad range of health benefits.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">22</xref></sup> Metf has recently been reported to have a broad range of beneficial effects on visceral AT metabolism.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib41">41</xref></sup> Until now, the molecular mechanisms by which Metf reduces fat mass are unclear. Interestingly, we found that Metf-treated adipose cells show a NR-like transcriptional profile, specifically characterized by FoxO1-mediated Lipa upregulation and enhanced expression of lipid oxidative genes. Further, similar to NR, Metf triggers a lysosomal-mediated lipolysis leading to TG degradation.</p><p>In our work, we have also underlined the overlapping effects of Metf and NR in adipocytes pointing out that they both activate AMPK. In particular, we clarified that, similar to NR, Metf activates AMPK-mediated FFAs oxidation, limiting their extracellular release from adipose cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib42">42</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib43">43</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib44">44</xref></sup> Our data reinforce the evidence of the lowering effects of Metf on plasma FFAs, which are notably increased during age-related pathological conditions<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib45">45</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib46">46</xref></sup> and unveil a mechanism of FFAs oxidation in adipose cells that likely limits the excessive FFAs release during NR.</p><p>In summary, FoxO1 represents a master regulator both of canonical and lysosomal-mediated lipid catabolism in adipocytes under metabolic stress. Further, during NR an immediate adaptive lipid catabolic process in adipocytes is activated that is favored by a prompt Lipa upregulation that precedes cytoplasmic ATGL induction. Lipa upregulation represents a resourceful response that promotes FFAs release necessary to maintain ATP levels in metabolically stressed fat cells. In this scenario, we have evidenced that AMPK is the ‘stationmaster' in adipose lipid metabolism, driving Lipa-released FFAs toward oxidation, thus providing stress resistance (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig8">Figure 8</xref>). Finally, our findings give further effort to the evidence that Metf has a significant NR-mimicking potential in adipocytes, suggesting its appetizing employment in the onset of aging where an increase of visceral AT and metabolic disorders occur.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec><title>Mice and treatments</title><p>We conducted all mouse experimentations in accordance with accepted standard of humane animal care and with the approval by relevant national (Ministry of Welfare) and local (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Tor Vergata University) committees.
