Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of Fmo5-/- mice reveal roles for flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 (FMO5) in NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response, unfolded protein response, lipid homeostasis, and carbohydrate and one-carbon metabolism.

description | Flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 (FMO5) is a member of the FMO family of proteins, best known for their roles in the detoxification of foreign chemicals and, more recently, in endogenous metabolism. We have previously shown that Fmo5-/- mice display an age-related lean phenotype, with much reduced weight gain from 20 weeks of age. The phenotype is characterized by decreased fat deposition, lower plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin and cholesterol, higher glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and resistance to diet-induced obesity. In the present study we report the use of metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of livers of Fmo5-/- and wild-type mice to identify factors underlying the lean phenotype of Fmo5-/- mice and gain insights into the function of FMO5. Metabolomics was performed by the Metabolon platform, utilising ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy. Transcriptomics was performed by RNA-Seq and results analysed by DESeq2. Disruption of the Fmo5 gene has wide-ranging effects on the abundance of metabolites and expression of genes in the liver. Metabolites whose concentration differed between Fmo5-/- and wild-type mice include several saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, complex lipids, amino acids, one-carbon intermediates and ADP-ribose. Among the genes most significantly and/or highly differentially expressed are Apoa4, Cd36, Fitm1, Hspa5, Hyou1, Ide, Me1 and Mme. The results reveal that FMO5 is involved in upregulating the NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response, the unfolded protein response and response to hypoxia and cellular stress, indicating a role for the enzyme in adaptation to oxidative and metabolic stress. FMO5 also plays a role in stimulating a wide range of metabolic pathways and processes, particularly ones involved in lipid homeostasis, the uptake and metabolism of glucose, the generation of cytosolic NADPH, and in one-carbon metabolism. The results predict that FMO5 acts by stimulating the NRF2, XBP1, PPARA and PPARG regulatory pathways, while inhibiting STAT1 and IRF7 pathways. |
