Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of obesity-related complications, but the molecular events that initiate and propagate such inflammation remain unclear. Here, we report that mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for as little as 1?3 days show increased differentiation of myeloid progenitors into neutrophils and monocytes but reduced B lymphocyte production in the bone marrow. Levels of neutrophil elastase (NE) and the nuclear factors CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ? (C/EBP?) and growth factor-independent 1 (GFI-1) are elevated in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from HFD-fed mice, but mice lacking either NE or C/EBP? are resistant to HFD-induced myelopoiesis. NE deletion increases expression of the inhibitory isoform of p30 C/EBP?, impairs the transcriptional activity of p42 C/EBP?, and reduces expression of the C/EBP? target gene GFI-1 in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, suggesting a mechanism by which NE regulates myelopoiesis. Furthermore, NE deletion prevents HFD-induced vascular leakage. Thus, HFD feeding rapidly activates bone marrow myelopoiesis through the NE-dependent C/EBP?-GFI-1 pathway preceding vascular damage and systemic inflammation.
