Phosphoproteomics Identifies CK2 as a Negative Regulator of Beige Adipocyte Thermogenesis and Energy Expenditure.

ABSTRACT: Catecholamines promote lipolysis both in brown and white adipocytes, whereas the same stimuli preferentially activate thermogenesis in brown adipocytes. Molecular mechanisms for the adipose-selective activation of thermogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we employed quantitative phosphoproteomics to map global and temporal phosphorylation profiles in brown, beige, and white adipocytes under ?3-adrenenoceptor activation and identified kinases responsible for the adipose-selective phosphorylation profiles. We found that casein kinase2 (CK2) activity is preferentially higher in white adipocytes than brown/beige adipocytes. Genetic or pharmacological blockade of CK2 in white adipocytes activates the thermogenic program in response to cAMP stimuli. Such activation is largely through reduced CK2-mediated phosphorylation of class I HDACs. Notably, inhibition of CK2 promotes beige adipocyte biogenesis and leads to an increase in whole-body energy expenditure and ameliorates diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. These results indicate that CK2 is a plausible target to rewire the ?3-adrenenoceptor signaling cascade that promotes thermogenesis in adipocytes.

Project description:Brown and beige fat protect against cold environments and obesity by catabolizing stored energy to generate heat. This process is achieved by controlling thermogenesis-related gene expression and the development of brown/beige fat through the induction of transcription factors, most notably PPARγ. However, the cofactors that induce the expression of thermogenic genes with PPARγ are still not well understood. In this study, we explored the role of SOX4 in adaptive thermogenesis and its relationship with PPARγ. Methods: Whole transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue (iWAT) after cold stimulation was performed to identify genes with differential expression in mice. Indirect calorimetry detected oxygen consumption rate and heat generation. mRNA levels were analyzed by qPCR assays. Proteins were detected by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. Interaction of proteins was detected by endogenous and exogenous Co-IP. ChIP-qPCR, FAIRE assay and luciferase reporter assays were used to investigate transcriptional regulation. Results: SOX4 was identified as the main transcriptional effector of thermogenesis. Mice with either adipocyte-specific or UCP1+ cells deletion of SOX4 exhibited significant cold intolerance, decreased energy expenditure, and beige adipocyte formation, which was attributed to decreased thermogenic gene expression. In addition, these mice developed obesity on a high-fat diet, with severe hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, and inflammation. At the cell level, loss of SOX4 from preadipocytes inhibited the development of beige adipocytes, and loss of SOX4 from mature beige adipocytes reduced the expression of thermogenesis-related genes and energy metabolism. Mechanistically, SOX4 stimulated the transcriptional activity of Ucp1 by binding to PPARγ and activating its transcriptional function. These actions of SOX4 were, at least partly, mediated by recruiting PRDM16 to PPARγ, thus forming a transcriptional complex to elevate the expression of thermogenic genes. Conclusion: SOX4, as a coactivator of PPARγ, drives the thermogenic gene expression program and thermogenesis of beige fat, promoting energy expenditure. It has important physiological significance in resisting cold and obesity.
