Cell Fate Determining Molecular Switches and Signaling Pathway in Pax7-expressing Somitic Mesoderm

ABSTRACT: During development, different cell types are originated from a common progenitor at a specific time frame. Previous lineage tracing of Pax7+ progenitors in somitic mesoderm has built the foundation of its development trajectory towards dermis, brown adipocytes, and skeletal muscle at dorsal trunk. Yet the molecular switches and mechanisms of such differentiation remain unknown. By combining inducible lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing, here we show the transcriptomic profile of the Pax7 lineage, precise differentiation time point, and transcription factors that could drive lineage-specific differentiation. Utilizing surface markers identified in each cell types, we successfully enriched brown adipocytes, dermal fibroblasts, and cell-type specific progenitors for in vitro culture. Further characterization has shown the importance of Wnt5a and Rgcc for lineage development during embryogenesis. We also propose eFAP (embryonic fibro/adipogenic progenitor) that resembles adult FAPs lineage potentials. The work provides further understanding of the Pax7 lineage during embryonic development.

Vascular smooth muscle-derived TRPV1-expressing progenitors are a new source of cold induced thermogenic adipocytes

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions in energy expenditure in part due its role in thermoregulation. The prominent capacity of BAT to enhance fuel utilization and energy expenditure makes it an attractive target for treating obesity and metabolic disorders. Prolonged cold exposure induces de novo recruitment of brown adipocytes and activates their thermogenic activity. However, the exact source of cold-induced brown adipocytes is not completely understood. In this study, we sought to investigate the cellular origin of cold-induced brown adipocytes using single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified two distinct types of adipocyte progenitors that contribute to de novo recruitment of brown adipocytes in response to cold challenge. One is the previously known Pdgfra-expressing mesenchymal progenitors and the other is a vascular smooth muscle-derived adipocyte progenitor (VSM-APC) population, which expresses the temperature-sensitive ion channel transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (Trpv1). Using flow cytometry and lineage tracing, we demonstrated that the Trpv1pos VSM-APCs were indeed distinct from the Pdgfrapos progenitors and could contribute to brown adipocytes with greater thermogenic potential. Together, these findings illustrate a landscape of thermogenic adipose niche at the single cell resolution and identify a new cellular origin for the development of brown adipocytes.

EPAC1 enhances energy expenditure by selectively inducing brown and beige adipose tissue growth

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a central thermogenic organ that enhances energy expenditure (EE) and cardiometabolic health. However, regulators that specifically increase the number of thermogenic adipocytes are still an unmet need. Here, we show by phosphoproteomics that cAMP activates distinct signaling pathways in brown progenitors, with the cAMP-EPAC1 axis enhancing proliferation and differentiation of thermogenic but not white adipocytes. Further analysis revealed that a specific subpopulation of preadipocytes that are PDGFRα-positive express EPAC1. In vivo, pharmacological activation of EPAC1 enhances BAT growth and browning of white fat, leading to increased EE and reduced diet-induced adiposity. In contrast, mice lacking EPAC1 in PDGFRα-positive preadipocytes show the opposite phenotype. Importantly, EPAC1 activation enhances proliferation and differentiation of human brown adipocytes and human brown fat organoids. Interestingly, a coding variant in EPAC1 that positively correlates with BMI abolishes norepinephrine-induced proliferation of brown adipocytes. Thus, EPAC1 might be an attractive target to enhance thermogenic adipocyte number and EE to combat metabolic diseases.

Comparative transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses reveal new regulators of murine brown adipogenesis [Seq]

Project description:Increasing energy expenditure by promoting the thermogenic program in brown adipocytes is a promising approach to combat human obesity. To fully exploit the potential of this approach a comprehensive understanding of the gene regulatory network that controls both lineage commitment and differentiation of brown cells is necessary. Here, we systematically examine the transcriptomic and epigenomic transitions from mesenchymal stem cells to brown adipocytes (BA) and we perform a comparative analysis with differentiating white adipocytes (WA). We identify coding genes, lncRNA genes, and microRNA genes that are differentially regulated upon BA differentiation. In addition, we generate genome wide reference maps for several chromatin marks throughout brown adipogenesis. We identify putative (super-)enhancers, super-enhancers controlled genes in brown and white adipocytes, as well as target genes of the brown lineage-committing factor BMP7. Finally we show that overexpression and knockdown of four putative novel adipogenic regulators (the kinase Pim1, and the transcription factors Six1, Rreb1, and Sox13), indeed affects BA differentiation, suggesting an important role in brown adipogenesis.

Thermogenic differentiation of adipocyte progenitors

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.

Charting the age-altered thymic epithelial cell differentiation by lineage tracing from a beta 5-t expressing TEC progenitor

Project description:TEC progenitors that express beta 5-t contribute to both the cortical and medullary TEC compartments. Our initial experiments across ageing thymi identified a population of potential progenitor TECs which expanded with age, and appears to be a progenitor population for mTEC. These lineage tracing experiments are designed to chart the altered differentiation and senescence of mTEC progenitors with age.

Expression data from mouse primary brown preadipocytes

Project description:Brown adipocytes are specialized for heat generation and energy expenditure as a defense against cold and obesity. Recent studies demonstrate that brown adipocytes arise in vivo from a Myf5-positive, myoblastic progenitor by the action of PRDM16. Here, we identified a brown fat-enriched miRNA cluster mir-193b-365 as a key regulator of brown fat development. Blocking miR-193b and/or miR-365 in primary brown preadipocytes dramatically impaired brown adipocyte adipogenesis whereas myogenic markers were significantly induced. Forced expression of miR-193b and/or miR-365 in C2C12 myoblasts blocked the entire program of myogenesis, and miR-193b induced myoblasts to differentiate into brown adipocytes. Mir-193b-365 was upregulated by PRDM16. Our results demonstrate that mir-193b-365 serves as an essential regulator for brown fat differentiation, in part by repressing myogenesis. To study if miR-193b-365 is required for brown adipocyte adipogenesis, mRNAs from cultured primary brown adipocytes (Day 4) transfected with each locked nucleic acid (LNA) miRNA inhibitor or Control inhibitor were analyzed by microarray analysis.

Prdm16 Knockout Brown Adipose Tissue

Project description:Gene expression profile from brown adipose tissues of Prdm16 knockout and wile type mice. Prdm16 is a transcription factor that regulates the thermogenic gene program in brown and beige adipocytes. However, whether Prdm16 is required for the development or physiological function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in vivo has been unclear. By analyzing mice that selectively lacked Prdm16 in the brown adipose lineage, we found that Prdm16 was dispensable for embryonic BAT development.

MicroRNAs are required for the feature maintenance and differentiation of brown adipocytes

Project description:Brown adipose tissue is specialized to burn lipids for heat generation as a natural defense against cold and obesity. Previous studies established microRNAs as essential regulators of brown adipocyte differentiation, but it remains unknown whether microRNAs are required for the feature maintenance of mature brown adipocytes. To address this question, we ablated Dgcr8, a key regulator of the microRNA biogenesis pathway, in mature brown as well as white adipocytes. The adipose tissue -specific Dgcr8 knockout mice displayed enlarged but pale interscapular brown fat with decreased expression of genes characteristic of brown fat, and the mice were intolerant to cold exposure. In vitro primary brown adipocyte cultures confirmed that microRNAs are required for marker gene expression in mature brown adipocytes. We also demonstrated that microRNAs are essential for the browning of subcutaneous white adipocyte both in vitro and in vivo. Using this animal model, we performed microRNA expression profiling analysis and identified a set of BAT-specific microRNAs that are up-regulated during brown adipocyte differentiation and enriched in brown fat compared to other organs. We identified miR-182 and miR-203 as new regulators of brown adipocyte development. Taken together, our study demonstrates an essential role of microRNAs in the maintenance as well as the differentiation of brown adipocytes.

Human brown and white preadipocyes clonal dynamics predict themorgenic potential and function

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) holds therapeutic potential for obesity and metabolic syndrome via increasing energy expenditure. Both inter- and intra-individual differences contribute to heterogeneity in human BAT and potentially to differential thermogenic capacity in human populations. Here, we demonstrated the generation of brown and white preadipocyte clones from human neck fat and characterized their adipogenic differentiation and thermogenic function. Combining a UCP1 reporter system and gene expression profiling, we defined novel sets of gene signatures in human preadipocytes that could predict the thermogenic potential of mature adipocytes. Knocking out the positive UCP1 regulators, PREX1 and EDNRB, in brown preadipocytes by CRISPRs markedly abolished the high level of UCP1 in mature brown adipocytes. Finally, we showed the ability to prospectively isolate adipose progenitors with great thermogenic potential. These data provide new insights into the cellular heterogeneity in human fat and offer clinically relevant gene targets that mark thermogenically competent preadipocytes.
