Project description:FACS-purified adipocyte progenitors from murine subcutaneous adipose tissue were cultured under conditions promoting general adipogenic differentiation or beige/brite adipocyte differentiation (treatment with cPGI2). Time course expression profiling was performed during differentiation. In addition, some cultures of differentiated adipocytes were stimulated with norepinephrine for 3 hours. In parallel, differentiation and norepinephrine stimulation of progenitors from interscapular brown fat was performed and profiled.

Project description:Adipogenesis involves the regulation of hundreds of genes by several well-studied proteins, but the role of long, noncoding RNAs in this process has not been defined. We track the regulation of hundreds of lncRNAs during adipocyte differentiation, and find several that are essential for this process. We extractedbrown and white primary adipocytes and pre-adipocytes and profiled lncRNA expresssion via mRNA-Seq. We also profiled cultured, differentiated adipocytes to verify that we could recapitulate the adipocyte expression profile in preparation for a loss-of-function screen for essential adipogenic lincRNAs.

Project description:The rising incidence of obesity and related disorders such as diabetes and heart disease has focused considerable attention on the discovery of novel therapeutics. One promising approach has been to increase the number or activity of brown-like adipocytes in white adipose depots, as this has been shown to prevent diet-induced obesity and reduce the incidence and severity of type 2 diabetes. Thus, the conversion of fat-storing cells into metabolically active thermogenic cells has become an appealing therapeutic strategy to combat obesity. Here, we report a screening platform for the identification of small molecules capable of promoting a white-to-brown metabolic conversion in human adipocytes. We identified two inhibitors of Janus Kinase (JAK) activity with no precedent in adipose tissue biology that permanently confer brown-like metabolic activity to white adipocytes. Importantly, these metabolically converted adipocytes exhibit elevated UCP1 expression and increased mitochondrial activity. We further found that repression of interferon signalling and activation of hedgehog signalling in JAK-inactivated adipocytes contributes to the metabolic conversion observed in these cells. Our findings highlight a novel role for the JAK/STAT pathway in the control of adipocyte function and establish a platform to identify compounds for the treatment of obesity. Human pluripotent stem-cell derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (PSC-MPCs), white adipose cells (PSC-WA), and brown adipose cells (PSC-BA) were treated with DMSO (as control), a JAK3-inhibitor compound, and a SYK-inhibitor compound respectively. Transcriptomic expression profiling was performed at 24 hours and 7 days respectively. Three biological replicates are available for each condition defined by cell type, compound, and time.

Project description:To investigate the effect of ZNF395 on adipogenesis, we tested whether ZNF395 enhance cell conversion from human dermal Fibroblast (FIB) to Adipocyte (ADP). PPARG2 was reported as a master regulator and can induce adipogenesis in non-adipogenic fibroblasts. We transduced PPARG2 with or without ZNF395 in FIB with lentivirus. Interestingly, co-transduction of PPARG2 and ZNF395 showed higher occurrence of adipocyte-like cells as compared with PPARG2 alone. Moreover, genes related with lipid metabolic process and lipid transport was significantly up-regulated in combination of PPARG2 and ZNF395. These results suggest that ZNF395 co-ordinate the transcriptional regulatory pathway with PPARG2, necessary for the induction of adipogenesis. Total RNA was obteined from human dermal fibroblast transduced with mock lentivirus vector (FIB_ctrl), PPARG2 (FIB_PPARG2) and co-transduced with PPARG2 and ZNF395 (FIB_PPARG2+ZNF395).

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, characterized by synovial hyperplasia and progressive joint destruction. For treating inflammatory diseases, such as RA, the Janus kinase (JAK)-mediated signaling pathway has emerged as a therapeutic target. Therefore, JAK inhibitors, such as tofacitinib and baricitinib, are approved for the treatment of RA. While the immunomodulatory characteristics of JAK inhibition (JAKi) are well defined, the current knowledge of how JAKi affects bone homeostasis is limited. Addressing this question becomes increasingly relevant, as current therapeutic options can slow down RA progression, but joint damage and especially perarticular bone erosion remain. Therefore, the impact of JAKi on bone homeostasis requires further elucidation. For in vitro analysis, the impact of JAK inhibitors tofacitinib and baricitinib on bone-forming osteoblasts was analyzed with respect to their mineralization capability. JAKi, by both tofacitinib and baricitinib, increased mineralization function in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived osteoblasts. Having observed increased mineralization capability in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived osteoblasts, RNA-seq was performed to shed light on potential signaling pathways and mediators causing this effect. For that, MSCs were plated at 6,000 cells per well in a 24-well-plate in alpha-MEM, supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FCS and 1% P/S. After one day medium was changed to alpha-MEM, 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 1% P/S and 568 mikromolar L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate 351 sesquimagnesium salt hydrate, containing either tofacitinib (500 nM), baricitinib (300 nM) or DMSO as vehicle control. After osteogenic induction, RNA was isolated via phenol-chloroform extraction. At least 3 mikrogram high quality RNA were used for RNA-seq analysis with the Illumina TrueSeq Stranded mRNA Kit and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

Project description:Genes involved in the autophagic pathway are risk factors for the development of inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, patients with Crohn’s disease exhibit a profound expansion of mesenteric fat during the pathology. We investigated in our study the role of autophagy in mature adipocyte during intestinal inflammation. Mice bearing a tamoxifen-inducible deletion of Atg7 specifically in adipocytes showed signs of exacerbated intestinal inflammation in response to DSS-induced colitis. We therefore aimed to understand the possible underlying reasons for this change and performed a bulk RNA-seq approach using primary visceral adipocytes.

Project description:To investigate the collective role of zinc finger proteins in adipogenesis, we induced adipogenesis using human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and compared the gene expression profiles using human Illumina beads arrays. We performed three independent experiments of time-series analysis (0h, 1h, 12h, 24h, 2d, 4d, 6d, 9d, 12d, 15d after induction of adipogenesis) in order to comprehensively capture the dynamic profiles of transcriptome during differentiation. Statistical filtering based on Analysis of Variance (ANOVA; p-value < 0.001, FDR 5%) and Gene Ontology classification using the Human Gene Nomenclature Database (HGNC) identified 618 out of 678 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) that were significantly expressed during adipogenesis. Moreover, 34 out of 618 genes were differentially expressed more than 2-fold up or down regulated. The K-means clustering analysis further revealed four dynamic expression patterns: one gene in early-response, seven genes in transient, twenty genes in progressively-induced and four genes in the down-regulated, demonstrating the dynamic involvement of ZFPs in the process of adipocyte differentiation and maturation. Total RNA obteind from 10 different time points (0h, 1h, 12h, 24h, 2d, 4d, 6d, 9d, 12d, 15d) during adipogenesis from human Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) to Adipocyte (ADP). Adipogensis was induced by the different cocktail of chemical compunds containing human-insulin, dexamethasone, indomethacin and IBMX.

Project description:JAK/STAT pathway plays important roles in controlling Drosophila intestinal homeostasis and regulating the ISC proliferation and differentiation. However,the downstream targets of its transcription factor-STAT92E remain largely unknown.To further identify the regualtory mechanisms of the JAK/STAT pathway in controlling intestinal homeostasis,we performed the ChIP-Seq assay with mouse raised STAT92E antibody using JAK/STAT signaling highly activated adult intestines.Through the ChIP assay, we have identified over 1000 significant peaks (p<0.01) around the putative targets.The well-characterized JAK/STAT downstream targets including Domeless,Socs36E,STAT92E and chinmo were identified in our ChIP assay,indicating that our experiment is workable to identify novel JAK/STAT downstream targets in adult intestines.This work will provide insights into our understanding of regulatory mechanisms of JAK/STAT signaling during Drosophila intestinal development.
