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

ABSTRACT: 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.

RELi protocol: Optimization for protein extraction from white, brown and beige adipose tissues.

Project description:Global obesity rates have reached pandemic proportions, increasing the risk of metabolic complications for hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide. Gaining insight on adipose tissue biology and understanding how fat pads behave during obesity is critical to investigate metabolic syndromes. Elucidation of cellular signaling pathways engaged by adipose tissue both in health and disease requires standardized protocols for protein extraction that yield consistently pure samples. A recurrent problem of currently available protocols is lipid or detergent contamination in extracted protein samples, which renders protein quantification inaccurate and, as a consequence, consistency and reproducibility of protein loading become unreliable. To overcome this problem, we improved the process of adipose tissue protein extraction by improving tissue lysis and decreasing lipid contamination. Here we describe the Removal of Excess Lipids (RELi) protocol to obtain increased yields of total proteins extracted from adipose tissue. The RELi protocol allows accurate and reproducible adipose tissue sample preparation for Western blot analysis and other investigative techniques requiring adipose tissue-derived proteins.

Effects of exercise on brown and beige adipocytes.

Project description: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.

Role of Brown and Beige Adipose Tissues in Seasonal Adaptation in the Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides).

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) expresses uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1), which enables energy to be exerted towards needed thermogenesis. Beige adipocytes are precursor cells interspersed among white adipose tissue (WAT) that possess similar UCP1 activity and capacity for thermogenesis. The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) is a canid species that utilizes seasonal obesity to survive periods of food shortage in climate zones with cold winters. The potential to recruit a part of the abundant WAT storages as beige adipocytes for UCP1-dependent thermogenesis was investigated in vitro by treating raccoon dog adipocytes with different browning inducing factors. In vivo positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging with the glucose analog 18F-FDG showed that BAT was not detected in the adult raccoon dog during the winter season. In addition, UCP1 expression was not changed in response to chronic treatments with browning inducing factors in adipocyte cultures. Our results demonstrated that most likely the raccoon dog endures cold weather without the induction of BAT or recruitment of beige adipocytes for heat production. Its thick fur coat, insulating fat, and muscle shivering seem to provide the adequate heat needed for surviving the winter.

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.

Induction of beige-like adipocytes in 3T3-L1 cells.

Project description:There are two types of brown adipocytes: classical brown adipocytes that form the brown fat depots and beige adipocytes that emerge in the white fat depots. Beige adipocytes have a low level of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) expression in the basal state, but Ucp1 expression is increased in response to ? adrenergic receptor activation. The present study explored the factors responsible for the differentiation of 3T3-L1 white preadipocytes to beige adipocytes. Significant expression of Ucp1 was not detected under any tested conditions in the absence of isoproterenol (Iso), an agonist of ? adrenergic receptor. Iso-induced Ucp1 expression was significantly higher in the cells treated with a mixture of triiodothyronine (T3) and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) for days 0-8 than in the control cells. Chronic IBMX treatment was indispensable for the enhanced Iso-induced Ucp1 expression, and treatment with additional rosiglitazone (Rosi) for days 0-8 further increased the Ucp1 expression. Recently, genes were identified that are predominantly expressed in beige adipocytes, which were induced from stromal vascular cells in white fat depots. However, the expression levels of the beige adipocyte-selective genes in the adipocytes induced by the mixture of T3, IBMX and Rosi did not differ from those in the control adipocytes. The present study indicates that 3T3-L1 cells can differentiate to beige-like adipocytes by prolonged treatment with the mixture of T3, IBMX and Rosi and that the gene expression profile of the adipocytes is distinct from those previously induced from white fat depots.

Breast milk alkylglycerols sustain beige adipocytes through adipose tissue macrophages.

Project description:Prevalence of obesity among infants and children below 5 years of age is rising dramatically, and early childhood obesity is a forerunner of obesity and obesity-associated diseases in adulthood. Childhood obesity is hence one of the most serious public health challenges today. Here, we have identified a mother-to-child lipid signaling that protects from obesity. We have found that breast milk-specific lipid species, so-called alkylglycerol-type (AKG-type) ether lipids, which are absent from infant formula and adult-type diets, maintain beige adipose tissue (BeAT) in the infant and impede the transformation of BeAT into lipid-storing white adipose tissue (WAT). Breast milk AKGs are metabolized by adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) to platelet-activating factor (PAF), which ultimately activates IL-6/STAT3 signaling in adipocytes and triggers BeAT development in the infant. Accordingly, lack of AKG intake in infancy leads to a premature loss of BeAT and increases fat accumulation. AKG signaling is specific for infants and is inactivated in adulthood. However, in obese adipose tissue, ATMs regain their ability to metabolize AKGs, which reduces obesity. In summary, AKGs are specific lipid signals of breast milk that are essential for healthy adipose tissue development.

The Gq signalling pathway inhibits brown and beige adipose tissue.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates nutritional energy as heat via the uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) and BAT activity correlates with leanness in human adults. Here we profile G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in brown adipocytes to identify druggable regulators of BAT. Twenty-one per cent of the GPCRs link to the Gq family, and inhibition of Gq signalling enhances differentiation of human and murine brown adipocytes. In contrast, activation of Gq signalling abrogates brown adipogenesis. We further identify the endothelin/Ednra pathway as an autocrine activator of Gq signalling in brown adipocytes. Expression of a constitutively active Gq protein in mice reduces UCP1 expression in BAT, whole-body energy expenditure and the number of brown-like/beige cells in white adipose tissue (WAT). Furthermore, expression of Gq in human WAT inversely correlates with UCP1 expression. Thus, our data indicate that Gq signalling regulates brown/beige adipocytes and inhibition of Gq signalling may be a novel therapeutic approach to combat obesity.

EBF2 promotes the recruitment of beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:The induction of beige/brite adipose cells in white adipose tissue (WAT) is associated with protection against high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in animals. The helix-loop-helix transcription factor Early B-Cell Factor-2 (EBF2) regulates brown adipose tissue development. Here, we asked if EBF2 regulates beige fat cell biogenesis and protects animals against obesity. METHODS:In addition to primary cell culture studies, we used ?Ebf2 knockout mice and mice overexpressing EBF2 in the adipose tissue to study the necessity and sufficiency of EBF2 to induce beiging in vivo. RESULTS:We found that EBF2 is required for beige adipocyte development in mice. Subcutaneous WAT or primary adipose cell cultures from Ebf2 knockout mice did not induce Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) or a thermogenic program following adrenergic stimulation. Conversely, over-expression of EBF2 in adipocyte cultures induced UCP1 expression and a brown-like/beige fat-selective differentiation program. Transgenic expression of Ebf2 in adipose tissues robustly stimulated beige adipocyte development in the WAT of mice, even while housed at thermoneutrality. EBF2 overexpression was sufficient to increase mitochondrial function in WAT and protect animals against high fat diet-induced weight gain. CONCLUSIONS:Taken together, our results demonstrate that EBF2 controls the beiging process and suggest that activation of EBF2 in WAT could be used to reduce obesity.

Metabolic activity of brown, "beige," and white adipose tissues in response to chronic adrenergic stimulation in male mice.

Project description:Classical brown adipocytes such as those found in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) represent energy-burning cells, which have been postulated to play a pivotal role in energy metabolism. Brown adipocytes can also be found in white adipose tissue (WAT) depots [e.g., inguinal WAT (iWAT)] following adrenergic stimulation, and they have been referred to as "beige" adipocytes. Whether the presence of these adipocytes, which gives iWAT a beige appearance, can confer a white depot with some thermogenic activity remains to be seen. In consequence, we designed the present study to investigate the metabolic activity of iBAT, iWAT, and epididymal white depots in mice. Mice were either 1) kept at thermoneutrality (30°C), 2) kept at 30°C and treated daily for 14 days with an adrenergic agonist [CL-316,243 (CL)], or 3) housed at 10°C for 14 days. Metabolic activity was assessed using positron emission tomography imaging with fluoro-[(18)F]deoxyglucose (glucose uptake), fluoro-[(18)F]thiaheptadecanoic acid (fatty acid uptake), and [(11)C]acetate (oxidative activity). In each group, substrate uptakes and oxidative activity were measured in anesthetized mice in response to acute CL. Our results revealed iBAT as a major site of metabolic activity, which exhibited enhanced glucose and nonesterified fatty acid uptakes and oxidative activity in response to chronic cold and CL. On the other hand, beige adipose tissue failed to exhibit appreciable increase in oxidative activity in response to chronic cold and CL. Altogether, our results suggest that the contribution of beige fat to acute-CL-induced metabolic activity is low compared with that of iBAT, even after sustained adrenergic stimulation.
