Objective: Body weight change and obesity follow the variance of excess energy input balanced against tightly controlled EE (energy expenditure). Since insulin resistance can reduce energy storage, we investigated whether genetic disruption of hepatic insulin signaling reduced adipose mass with increased EE. Methods: Insulin signaling was disrupted by genetic inactivation of Irs1 (Insulin receptor substrate 1) and Irs2 in hepatocytes of LDKO mice (Irs1L/L·Irs2L/L·CreAlb), creating a state of complete hepatic insulin resistance. We inactivated FoxO1 or the FoxO1-regulated hepatokine Fst (Follistatin) in the liver of LDKO mice by intercrossing LDKO mice with FoxO1L/L or FstL/L mice. We used DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) to assess total lean mass, fat mass and fat percentage, and metabolic cages to measure EE (energy expenditure) and estimate basal metabolic rate (BMR). High-fat diet was used to induce obesity. Results: Hepatic disruption of Irs1 and Irs2 (LDKO mice) attenuated HFD (high-fat diet)-induced obesity and increased whole-body EE in a FoxO1-dependent manner. Hepatic disruption of the FoxO1-regulated hepatokine Fst normalized EE in LDKO mice and restored adipose mass during HFD consumption; moreover, hepatic Fst disruption alone increased fat mass accumulation, whereas hepatic overexpression of Fst reduced HFD-induced obesity. Excess circulating Fst in overexpressing mice neutralized Mstn (Myostatin), activating mTORC1-promoted pathways of nutrient uptake and EE in skeletal muscle. Similar to Fst overexpression, direct activation of muscle mTORC1 also reduced adipose mass. Conclusions: Thus, complete hepatic insulin resistance in LDKO mice fed a HFD revealed Fst-mediated communication between the liver and muscle, which might go unnoticed during ordinary hepatic insulin resistance as a mechanism to increase muscle EE and constrain obesity. |
