The lysyl oxidase inhibitor β-aminopropionitrile reduces body weight gain and improves the metabolic profile in diet-induced obesity in rats

Abstract: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling of the adipose tissue plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of obesity. The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of amine oxidases, including LOX and LOX-like (LOXL) isoenzymes, controls ECM maturation, and upregulation of LOX activity is essential in fibrosis; however, its involvement in adipose tissue dysfunction in obesity is unclear. In this study, we observed that LOX is the main isoenzyme expressed in human adipose tissue and that its expression is strongly upregulated … Show more

“…Such alterations included reduced levels of GLUT 4, adiponectin, and GLP‐1 as well as increased levels of DPP4, SOCS3, and IRS‐1 serine phosphorylation. Similar results have previously been described in both human and animal models (13, 1618). The relevance of SOCS3 in insulin resistance is confirmed by the fact that its levels were independently associated with HOMA index.…”

“…For the TNF‐α treatment (72 h), fully differentiated 3T3‐L1 adipocytes were treated every 24 h with the cytokine as previously described by Miana et al. (13), MitoQ (50 nM) was added to TNF‐α‐treated cells during the last 24 h of incubation.…”

“…In fact, changes in Lox activity involved in the dysfunction of adipocyte in obesity. Recent reports showed that Lox is upregulated in adipose tissue from individuals with obesity . The inhibition of Lox activity through β‐aminopropionitrile (BAPN, a specific and irreversible inhibitor of Lox activity) attenuates the increase in body weight and fat mass, reduces adipose tissue fibrosis, and partially corrects the adipocyte‐size distribution pattern.…”

“…Lysyl oxidase (LOX) and lysyl oxidase-like 1–4 (LOXL1–4) proteins mediate the cross-linking of collagens and/or elastin and are thus relevant in the remodeling of the ECM ( 13 ). Only LOX ( 9 , 14 ) and LOXL1 ( 15 ) have been described to be expressed in AT. LOX is a secreted protein that is down-regulated within the first phase of adipocyte differentiation ( 9 , 16 ).…”

“…In obese AT, LOX expression is up-regulated in a hypoxia-dependent manner and is implicated in tissue fibrosis ( 9 ). Inhibition of systemic LOX activity with β-aminopropionitrile reduced body weight and improved the metabolic profile in obese rats ( 14 ). However, nothing is known about other lysyl oxidase family members in the context of AT ECM.…”
