Abstract

Obesity is a major global health concern and induces numerous complications, such as heart and kidney injury. Inflammation is an important pathogenic mechanism underlying obesity‑associated tissue injury. (1E,4E)‑1‑{2,4‑Dimethoxy‑6‑[(E)‑4‑methoxystyryl]phenyl}‑5‑​(2,4‑dimethoxyphenyl)penta‑1,4‑dien‑3‑one (PA19) is a novel anti‑inflammatory compound synthesized by our research group. In the present study, the efficacy of PA19 in attenuating high‑fat diet (HFD)‑induced heart and kidney injury was investigated. Heart and kidney pathological injury and fibrosis were detected by hematoxylin and eosin and Sirius red staining, respectively. The expression levels of inflammatory genes and fibrosis‑associated protein were determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. ELISA was used to detect the level of inflammatory cytokines. Following 20 weeks of HFD treatment, mice exhibited increased lipid accumulation in the serum, heart and kidney injury and fibrosis, and inflammation and inflammatory cell infiltration compared with mice fed a control diet. Conversely, treatment with PA19 during the final 12 weeks of the study significantly reduced the degree of heart and kidney fibrosis and inflammation induced by HFD. The results suggested that PA19 attenuates heart and kidney inflammation and injury induced by HFD, and indicated that PA19 may be a novel therapeutic agent in the treatment of obesity, and obesity‑induced cardiac and renal injury.

Introduction

Obesity is a chronic disease induced by nutritional and metabolic disorders, and is a global health problem; 5–10% of cases are due to genetic factors, whereas 90–95% of cases arise from excessive diets and a lack of exercise (1). Obesity involves the accumulation of adipose tissue in the body and disruption of normal metabolic activities, resulting in tissue damage (2). Obesity leads to the development of a variety of conditions and disorders, including hypertension, insulin resistance, diabetes, inflammation, and obesity-induced heart and kidney injury, thereby markedly impairing human health (37).

An increasing number of clinical and animal studies have demonstrated the involvement of the innate immune system and inflammatory responses in the development of obesity-induced heart and kidney injury (8). Previous studies have characterized obesity-associated complications as low-grade chronic inflammatory diseases (9,10). Numerous anti-inflammatory compounds have been used in the treatment of obesity-induced tissue injury, including curcumin, berberine and resveratrol, indicating the importance of inhibiting inflammation in treating obesity-associated complications (1113).

(1E,4E)-1-{2,4-Dimethoxy-6-[(E)-4-methoxystyryl]phenyl}-5-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (PA19) is an analog of resveratrol that was synthesized by the present research group (Fig. 1) (14). It was reported to exhibit more potent effects than resveratrol in suppressing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 production in mouse peritoneal macrophages (15,16). In the present study, the protective effects of PA19 on obesity-induced heart and kidney injury, and inflammation were investigated in a mouse model of obesity in vivo.

Materials and methods

Chemicals

PA19 was prepared at a purity of 99.2% as previously described (12), and dissolved in 0.5% sodium carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC-Na; Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) for in vivo experiments.

Animals

A total of 21 male C57BL/6 mice (8–10 weeks old, 18–22 g) and a total of 20 male 18–20 g ICR mice (8–10 weeks old) were obtained from the Animal Center of Wenzhou Medical University (Wenzhou, China). All animal care and experimental procedures complied with the Ordinance in Experimental Animal Management (order no. 1998-02; Ministry of Science and Technology, Beijing, China) and were approved by the Wenzhou Medical University Animal Policy and Welfare Committee (Wenzhou, China). Mice were housed at 22°C, with 55±15% humidity and maintained under a 12-h light/dark cycle in an SPF environment. All animals were provided with free access to water. Following an acclimatization period of 1 week, mice were randomly assigned into three weight-matched groups for 20 weeks (n=7/group): Mice were fed a standard rodent diet (CON) or a high-fat diet (HFD), or fed a HFD and received intragastric administration of PA19 (10 mg/kg/day) via oral gavage on alternate days for the final 12 weeks of the study (HFD + PA19). The mice in the CON and HFD groups received vehicle treatment (0.5% CMC-Na solution) as a control. The body weights of the mice were monitored weekly during the 20-week period of the study. The mice were subsequently sacrificed under anesthesia, heart and kidney tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 48 h for histological, and gene and protein expression analyses.

Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)

Total RNA was isolated from tissues using TRIzol® (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA); the concentration of RNA was determined using a SpectraMax M5 microplate reader (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and the purity of the samples was estimated from the optical density ratio (A260/A280, 1.8–2.2). RT was performed using an M-MLV Platinum RT-qPCR kit (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with the reaction parameters of incubation at 65°C for 5 min, 37°C for 52 min and 70°C for 15 min. qPCR was conducted with a total reaction volume of 20 µl using iQ™ SYBR®-Green Supermix (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) and a MasterCycler Realplex4 (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). A total of 3 parallel experiments of one sample were conducted. A total of 60 cycles of qPCR were performed. The thermocycling conditions were as follows: Denaturation at 95°C for 2 min; annealing at 95°C for 15 sec and extension at 60°C for 30 sec. Primers were obtained from Invitrogen (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.); the sequences are presented in Table I. The relative expression of each gene normalized to β-actin was determined using the 2−ΔΔCq method (17). mRNA expression levels were calculated as percentages of the expression in the median tissue from the HFD group.

Western blotting

Heart and kidney tissues from each mouse were homogenized in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (P0013B; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China;) with protease inhibitor. The Bradford assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) was performed to determine the concentration of protein. Following boiling in loading buffer for 10 min, total protein samples (60 µg) were separated via 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). Membranes were blocked with 5% milk for 1.5 h at room temperature and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The following primary antibodies were used: Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1; 1:1,000; ab134047; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1; 1:1,000; ab171123, Abcam), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1; 1:1,000; sc-52701, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA), collagen 1 (Col-1; 1:1,000; ab34710, Abcam) and β-actin (1:1,000; ab8226, Abcam). The membranes were subsequently washed in TBST (TBS solution containing 0.2% Tween-20) and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:3,000; 7074; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. Blots were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) and protein expression was quantified using ImageJ software (version 1.42q; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

ELISA

Heart and kidney tissues from each mouse were homogenized in RIPA buffer with protease inhibitor, and the Bradford assay was performed to determine the concentration of protein. Following adjustment to equal concentrations, ELISAs were performed on the samples using mouse IL-6 (85-88-7064-76; eBioscience; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and mouse IL-1β ELISA kits (70-EK201B/3-96; MultiSciences, Hangzhou, China) according to the manufacturer's protocols.

Heart and kidney function tests

Blood samples were collected through the eyeball after sacrifice of the animals and centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C to isolate the serum. Heart and kidney injury and failure were determined by measuring the serum expression levels of various biochemical markers, including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Cr), creatine kinase (CK), CK-muscle/brain (CK-MB), total cholesterol (TCH), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and aspartate transaminase (AST) using respective commercial kits (Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China).

Heart and kidney histopathology

Kidney and heart tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 48 h at room temperature and embedded in paraffin. Samples were sectioned (5-µm thickness) and mounted on slides. Then, sections were stained with H&E and Sirius Red (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) according to the manufacturer's protocols. To analyze the extent of damage, 5 fields of one specimen were observed under a light microscope (magnification, ×200; Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The area of fibrosis in the heart and kidney tissues was determined using ImageJ software (version 1.42q, National Institutes of Health).

Immunohistochemistry

Heart and kidney tissues were sectioned as aforementioned, deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated in a graded alcohol series. Antigen retrieval was performed in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.5) by microwaving (10 min). Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by incubation in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 30 min at room temperature. Sections were then blocked for 30 min at 37°C in 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) dissolved in phosphate buffer solution, prior to incubation with primary anti-epidermal growth factor-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 (F4/80) antibody (1:200; sc-377009; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) at 4°C overnight. Then, sections were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:200; 33201ES60; Yeasen, Shanghai, China) at 37°C for 30 min, prior to immersion in 3′3-diaminobenzidine solution (OriGene Technologies, Inc., Beijing, China) for 1 min. Finally, sections were stained with hematoxylin for 5 min at room temperature, dehydrated and mounted, and images were captured using a light microscope (5 fields of one specimen were randomly selected; magnification, ×200, Nikon Corporation).

Acute toxicity assay

The 20 male 18–20 g ICR mice were randomly divided into two experimental groups: CON group and PA19 group. CON and PA group mice were received 0.5% CMC-Na and 500 mg/kg PA, respectively. The treatments were administered once by oral gavage. Animals were closely observed every 12 h following administration on general behavior; mortality and body weights were also measured.

Statistical analysis

All data were obtained from three independent experiments. The results were presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. All data were analyzed using GraphPad Pro Prism 5.01 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). One-way analysis of variance followed by a Dunnett's post-hoc test was employed to analyze the differences between multiple groups. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

Results

PA19 reduces the expression of obesity-induced kidney and heart biochemical markers in the serum

Heart and kidney tissues and serum were collected from mice following CON or HFD feeding for 20 weeks. As presented in Table II, animals fed with the HFD exhibited significantly increased serum expression levels of lipid accumulation markers (TCH and LDL), renal function markers (BUN and Cr) and cardiac function markers (CK, CK-MB, AKP and AST) compared with the CON group; however, treatment with PA19 (10 mg/kg) suppressed the increased expression of these markers. An acute toxicity assay was conducted to determine the effects of chronic PA19 treatment in vivo; it was demonstrated that intragastric administration of PA19 (500 mg/kg) did not significantly alter body weight (Fig. S1) or the serum expression levels of the aforementioned biochemical markers (Table SI) compared with treatment with 0.5% CMC-Na. The results indicated that PA19 treatment at the selected dose was safe for mice and attenuated the increased serum expression levels of functional biomarkers following exposure to an HFD.

PA19 reduces obesity-induced heart and kidney injury and fibrosis

The cardioprotective effects of PA19 were investigated by determining the effects of PA19 treatment on obesity-induced alterations in the morphology of cardiac tissue. H&E staining revealed that the heart tissue of mice in the HFD group presented structural abnormalities that were not observed in the PA19-treated group, including broken fibers and irregular cellular structures (Fig. 2A). Additionally, Sirius Red staining revealed that PA19 treatment attenuated HFD-induced collagen deposition in heart tissues and significantly reduced fibrosis compared with the control (Fig. 2B and C). It was demonstrated that feeding with the HFD induced significant increases in the levels of Col-1 mRNA and protein expression in heart tissue compared with the CON group, but were suppressed by PA19 treatment (Fig. 2D, E and S2A).

H&E staining of kidney tissue revealed that the HFD group exhibited glomerular shrinkage and expansion of the mesangial matrix compared with the CON group (Fig. 3A). Conversely, treatment with PA19 markedly improved obesity-induced renal injury. The extent of fibrosis in the kidneys induced by HFD was also evaluated. Sirius Red staining revealed notable collagen deposition in the kidney tissues of HFD mice (Fig. 3B and C), in addition to significant increases in the expression of Col-1 at the mRNA and protein levels compared with the CON group (Fig. 3D, E and S2B). PA19 treatment significantly reduced the extent of HFD-induced fibrosis and decreased the expression of Col-1 in kidney tissue. The results suggested that treatment with PA19 protects heart and kidney tissue from obesity-induced injury and fibrosis.

PA19 reduces obesity-induced myocardial and renal inflammation

The association between the potential cardio- and renoprotective effects of PA19 against obesity-induced damage and its anti-inflammatory properties was investigated. Immunohistochemical staining of F4/80 expression revealed that there was marked HFD-induced inflammatory cell infiltration of cardiac tissue; however, the percentage of F4/80+ cells in tissue samples from the HFD + PA19 group was significantly lower compared with in the HFD group (Fig. 4A and B). Additionally, RT-qPCR, ELISA and western blot analyses demonstrated that HFD exposure significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-1β), chemokines (MCP-1) and adhesion molecules (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) in heart tissue compared with in the CON group (Fig. 4C-J). Conversely, PA19 treatment significantly suppressed the HFD-induced upregulation of these markers.

As presented in Fig. 5A and B, feeding with the HFD induced a marked increase in the number of F4/80+ inflammatory cells in the renal sections; however, inflammatory cell infiltration was significantly attenuated by treatment with PA19. As presented in Fig. 5C-J, the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules were significantly increased in kidney tissues from HFD mice compared with the CON group, but were suppressed by PA19 treatment. Of note, the protein expression of IL-1β was not significantly reduced following PA19 administration. Collectively, these results indicated that PA19 exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in cardiac and renal tissues in vivo.

Discussion

Obesity is a global health issue that may lead to numerous associated disorders, including insulin resistance, diabetes and inflammation (18); therefore, it is important to identify novel approaches to treat obesity-associated complications. In the present study, the protective effects of PA19, a resveratrol analog, were investigated in an established mouse model of obesity. It was revealed that PA19 attenuated obesity-induced lipid accumulation in the serum, injury, collagen deposition, inflammatory cytokine expression and inflammatory cell infiltration in the heart and kidneys. These findings suggested that PA19 exhibits cardio- and renoprotective effects against obesity-induced injury via the inhibition of inflammatory responses.

Long-term over-nutrition commonly leads to obesity and associated complications, such as heart and kidney injury (19). Increased fat accumulation progressively impairs arterial function and thickening of the blood vessel wall reduces blood flow; thus, systemic blood circulation is reduced, and the risk of thrombosis and burden on the heart are increased (20,21). Thickening of the walls of renal blood vessels increases renal blood pressure and burden on the kidney. Consequentially, glomerular hypertension and hyperfiltration can occur, commonly leading to the development of glomerulosclerosis (22,23). The results of the present study revealed that mice fed an HFD exhibited lipid accumulation in the serum, with heart and kidney injury, whereas treatment with PA19 attenuated these effects.

Fibrosis is an important pathological process in the development of obesity-associated complications. Renal fibrosis is the histological manifestation of a progressive and usually irreversible process resulting in end-stage kidney disease (24). Cardiac fibrosis is associated with metabolic dysfunction, and may contribute to the increased incidence of heart failure associated with obesity (25,26). Col-1 is a major contributor to fibrosis; it has been reported that excessive cardiac Col-1 synthesis and deposition may be involved in the progression of myocardial fibrosis that accompanies the development of heart failure in patients with hypertensive heart disease (27). The expression of Col-1 has been reported to be markedly increased in various types of renal fibrosis (28,29). Sirius Red staining, and RT-qPCR and western blot analyses revealed that PA19 treatment suppressed the collagen deposition and upregulation of Col-1 in heart and kidney tissues in HFD mice. These findings suggested that PA19 effectively inhibits obesity-induced tissue injury and fibrosis.

Obesity is characterized as a low-grade chronic inflammatory disease (9,10). This inflammatory state is reflected by the increased production of inflammatory cytokines and the infiltration of inflammatory cells into tissues (9). Cells that infiltrate tissues are typically highly activated, producing proinflammatory cytokines and chemoattractants (26,30), consequentially attracting additional inflammatory cells that secrete more proinflammatory cytokines. In the present study, staining of heart and kidney tissues from HFD mice revealed the infiltration of F4/80+ cells, and increased expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules compared with in tissues from CON mice; the effects were attenuated by PA19 treatment.

Resveratrol is a natural product originating from grapes and other plants (31). Resveratrol has received increasing attention as a potential therapy in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, due to its anti-inflammatory properties and low toxicity (3234). Furthermore, various studies have reported that resveratrol may attenuate obesity and associated complications via a number of mechanisms (35,36); however, the biological activity of resveratrol is limited by its photosensitivity and metabolic instability (37). In our previous study, a series of resveratrol-curcumin hybrids were synthesized, and their anti-inflammatory properties were evaluated in vitro and in vivo (14). It was demonstrated that one compound, PA19, was more effective than resveratrol in suppressing the LPS-induced production of TNF-α and IL-6 (14). In the present study, it was revealed that PA19 attenuated obesity-induced heart and kidney injury in HFD-fed mice, potentially via the inhibition of inflammation and cellular infiltration.

In conclusion, it was demonstrated that mice fed with an HFD exhibited lipid accumulation, and injury, fibrosis, inflammation and inflammatory cell infiltration in heart and kidney tissues; these effects were attenuated by treatment with PA19. The findings of the present study indicated the contribution of inflammatory processes in the development of obesity-associated cardiac and renal damage, and suggested that the anti-inflammatory compound PA19 may be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of obesity-associated complications.
