Effects of exercise on brown and beige adipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Physical exercise leads to beneficial effects in numerous tissues and organ systems and offers protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have investigated the role of exercise on brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT), and have indicated marked adaptations to each tissue with exercise. Studies investigating the effects of exercise on BAT have produced conflicting results, with some showing an increase in the thermogenic activity of BAT and some demonstrating a decrease in the thermogenic activity of BAT. Human studies have observed a down-regulation of BAT activity (measured by a reduction in glucose uptake) in response to exercise. In WAT, exercise decreases adipocyte size, alters gene expression, and increases mitochondrial activity. Transplantation of exercise-trained subcutaneous WAT (scWAT) improves whole-body metabolic health. In rodents, exercise also results in a beiging of scWAT. Thus, exercise-induced changes to adipose tissue may be part of the mechanism by which exercise improves metabolic health.

UCP1 Dependent and Independent Thermogenesis in Brown and Beige Adipocytes.

Project description:Mammals have two types of thermogenic adipocytes: brown adipocytes and beige adipocytes. Thermogenic adipocytes express high levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) to dissipates energy in the form of heat by uncoupling the mitochondrial proton gradient from mitochondrial respiration. There is much evidence that UCP1 is the center of BAT thermogenesis and systemic energy homeostasis. Recently, UCP1 independent thermogenic pathway identified in thermogenic adipocytes. Importantly, the thermogenic pathways are different in brown and beige adipocytes. Ca2+-ATPase 2b calcium cycling mechanism is selective to beige adipocytes. It remains unknown how the multiple thermogenic mechanisms are coordinately regulated. The discovery of UCP1-independent thermogenic mechanisms potential offer new opportunities for improving obesity and type 2 diabetes particularly in groups such as elderly and obese populations who do not possess UCP1 positive adipocytes.

miR-155 regulates differentiation of brown and beige adipocytes via a bistable circuit.

Project description:Brown adipocytes are a primary site of energy expenditure and reside not only in classical brown adipose tissue but can also be found in white adipose tissue. Here we show that microRNA 155 is enriched in brown adipose tissue and is highly expressed in proliferating brown preadipocytes but declines after induction of differentiation. Interestingly, microRNA 155 and its target, the adipogenic transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ?, form a bistable feedback loop integrating hormonal signals that regulate proliferation or differentiation. Inhibition of microRNA 155 enhances brown adipocyte differentiation and induces a brown adipocyte-like phenotype ('browning') in white adipocytes. Consequently, microRNA 155-deficient mice exhibit increased brown adipose tissue function and 'browning' of white fat tissue. In contrast, transgenic overexpression of microRNA 155 in mice causes a reduction of brown adipose tissue mass and impairment of brown adipose tissue function. These data demonstrate that the bistable loop involving microRNA 155 and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ? regulates brown lineage commitment, thereby, controlling the development of brown and beige fat cells.

Data on induction of brown/beige adipocytes in mouse retro-orbital adipose tissues.

Project description:The data presented here are related to the research article entitled "Inducible brown/beige adipocytes in retro-orbital adipose tissues" [1]. Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate stored energy through the generation of heat by using mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1), which is a mammalian brown/beige adipocyte-specific protein that promotes proton leakage across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Both cells up-regulate Ucp1 expression in response to ?-adrenergic receptor activation such as cold exposure. Here, we provide data on induction of Ucp1 positive cells in retro-orbital white adipose tissues (WAT) from cold exposed both male and female mice. The fluctuation of eye surface temperature was monitored during the cold exposure. In addition, distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase positive bundles was observed in the retro-orbital WAT from the mice.

Transferrin Receptor 1 Regulates Thermogenic Capacity and Cell Fate in Brown/Beige Adipocytes.

Project description:Iron homeostasis is essential for maintaining cellular function in a wide range of cell types. However, whether iron affects the thermogenic properties of adipocytes is currently unknown. Using integrative analyses of multi-omics data, transferrin receptor 1 (Tfr1) is identified as a candidate for regulating thermogenesis in beige adipocytes. Furthermore, it is shown that mice lacking Tfr1 specifically in adipocytes have impaired thermogenesis, increased insulin resistance, and low-grade inflammation accompanied by iron deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mechanistically, the cold treatment in beige adipocytes selectively stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α), upregulating the Tfr1 gene, and thermogenic adipocyte-specific Hif1α deletion reduces thermogenic gene expression in beige fat without altering core body temperature. Notably, Tfr1 deficiency in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) leads to the transdifferentiation of brown preadipocytes into white adipocytes and muscle cells; in contrast, long-term exposure to a low-iron diet fails to phenocopy the transdifferentiation effect found in Tfr1-deficient mice. Moreover, mice lacking transmembrane serine protease 6 (Tmprss6) develop iron deficiency in both inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and iBAT, and have impaired cold-induced beige adipocyte formation and brown fat thermogenesis. Taken together, these findings indicate that Tfr1 plays an essential role in thermogenic adipocytes via both iron-dependent and iron-independent mechanisms.

Diphyllin Improves High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice Through Brown and Beige Adipocytes.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige adipose tissue dissipate metabolic energy and mediate nonshivering thermogenesis, thereby boosting energy expenditure. Increasing the browning of BAT and beige adipose tissue is expected to be a promising strategy for combatting obesity. Through phenotype screening of C3H10-T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells, diphyllin was identified as a promising molecule in promoting brown adipocyte differentiation. In vitro studies revealed that diphyllin promoted C3H10-T1/2 cell and primary brown/beige preadipocyte differentiation and thermogenesis, which resulted increased energy consumption. We synthesized the compound and evaluated its effect on metabolism in vivo. Chronic experiments revealed that mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with 100 mg/kg diphyllin had ameliorated oral glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and decreased body weight and fat content ratio. Adaptive thermogenesis in HFD-fed mice under cold stimulation and whole-body energy expenditure were augmented after chronic diphyllin treatment. Diphyllin may be involved in regulating the development of brown and beige adipocytes by inhibiting V-ATPase and reducing intracellular autophagy. This study provides new clues for the discovery of anti-obesity molecules from natural products.

ASC-1, PAT2, and P2RX5 are cell surface markers for white, beige, and brown adipocytes.

Project description:White, beige, and brown adipocytes are developmentally and functionally distinct but often occur mixed together within individual depots. To target white, beige, and brown adipocytes for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, a better understanding of the cell surface properties of these cell types is essential. Using a combination of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods, we have identified three new cell surface markers of adipose cell types. The amino acid transporter ASC-1 is a white adipocyte-specific cell surface protein, with little or no expression in brown adipocytes, whereas the amino acid transporter PAT2 and the purinergic receptor P2RX5 are cell surface markers expressed in classical brown and beige adipocytes in mice. These markers also selectively mark brown/beige and white adipocytes in human tissue. Thus, ASC-1, PAT2, and P2RX5 are membrane surface proteins that may serve as tools to identify and target white and brown/beige adipocytes for therapeutic purposes.

Dolutegravir Suppresses Thermogenesis via Disrupting Uncoupling Protein 1 Expression and Mitochondrial Function in Brown/Beige Adipocytes in Preclinical Models.

Project description:BackgroundAntiretroviral therapy (ART) containing integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) has been associated with weight gain in both ART initiation and switch studies, especially in women, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear.MethodsThe effects of dolutegravir (DTG) on food intake, energy expenditure, oxygen consumption in female mice, and gene expression from adipose tissues were assessed. Human and murine preadipocytes were treated with DTG either during differentiation into mature brown/beige adipocytes or postdifferentiation. Lipid accumulation, lipolysis, β-adrenergic response, adipogenic markers, mitochondrial respiration, and insulin response were analyzed.ResultsTwo-week administration of DTG to female mice reduced energy expenditure, which was accompanied by decreased uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) expression in brown/beige adipose tissues. In vitro studies showed that DTG significantly reduced brown adipogenic markers, especially UCP1 in brown and beige adipocytes, whereas drugs from other classes did not. Furthermore, a loss of UCP1 by DTG led to a decrease in mitochondrial complex IV component, followed by a reduction in mitochondrial respiratory capacity and reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.ConclusionsOur findings show that DTG targets UCP1 and mitochondrial functions in brown and beige adipocytes and disrupts thermogenic functions in preclinical models, providing the potential mechanisms by which DTG suppresses energy expenditure leading to weight gain.

IL-33 and ST2 license beige and brown adipocytes for uncoupled respiration

Project description:For placental mammals, the transition from the in utero maternal environment to postnatal life requires the activation of thermogenesis to maintain their core temperature. This is primarily accomplished by induction of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown and beige adipocytes, the principal sites for uncoupled respiration. Despite its importance, how placental mammals license their thermogenic adipocytes to participate in postnatal uncoupled respiration is not known. Here, we provide evidence that the 'alarmin' IL-33, a nuclear cytokine that activates type 2 immune responses, licenses brown and beige adipocytes for uncoupled respiration. We find that, in absence of IL-33 or ST2, beige and brown adipocytes develop normally but fail to express an appropriately spliced form of Ucp1 mRNA, resulting in absence of UCP1 protein, and impairment in uncoupled respiration and thermoregulation. Together, these data suggest that IL-33 and ST2 function as a developmental switch to license thermogenesis during the perinatal period.

RNA-seq comparison of primary mouse classical brown, beige, and white adipocytes

Project description:Classical brown adipocytes in interscapular BAT (Myf-5 derived) and inducible beige cells in WAT (non-Myf-5 derived) have distinct developmental origins, although both cell types have morphological and biochemical characteristics of brown fat such as the expression of UCP1. This raises an important question as to how similar the two types of brown adipocytes are at molecular and functional levels. To this end, we employed RNA-seq to systematically determine the transcriptional signatures unique to each cell type.
