Plasticity of epididymal adipose tissue in response diet-induced obesity at single-nucleus resolution.

ABSTRACT: Adipose tissues display a remarkable ability to adapt to the dietary status. Here, we have applied single-nucleus RNA-seq to map the plasticity of mouse epididymal white adipose tissue at single cell resolution in response to high-fat diet-induced obesity. The single-nucleus approach allowed us to recover all major cell types and to reveal distinct transcriptional stages along the entire adipogenic trajectory from preadipocyte commitment to mature adipocytes. We demonstrate the existence of different adipocyte subpopulations and show that obesity leads to disappearance of the lipogenic subpopulation and increased abundance of the stressed lipid scavenging subpopulation. Moreover, obesity is associated with major changes in the abundance and gene expression of other cell populations, including a dramatic increase in lipid handling genes in macrophages at the expense of macrophage-specific genes. The data provide a powerful resource for future hypothesis-driven investigations of the mechanisms of adipocyte differentiation and adipose tissue plasticity.

Robust single nucleus RNA sequencing reveals depot-specific cell population dynamics in adipose tissue remodeling during obesity

Project description:Single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), an alternative to single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), encounters technical challenges in obtaining high-quality nuclei and RNA, persistently hindering its applications. Here, we present a robust technique for isolating nuclei across various tissue types, remarkably enhancing snRNA-seq data quality. Employing this approach, we comprehensively characterize the depot-dependent cellular dynamics of various cell types underlying adipose tissue remodeling during obesity. By integrating nuclear RNA-seq data from adipocyte nuclei of varying sizes, we identify distinct adipocyte subpopulations categorized by size and functionality. Specifically, we characterize dysfunctional hypertrophic adipocytes prevalent in visceral adipose tissues during obesity, exhibiting cellular stress, inflammation and impaired metabolic gene expression. Obesity-induced changes in gene expression profiles of adipocyte subpopulations reveal their distinct contributions to adipose tissue pathophysiology. Our study establishes a robust snRNA-seq method, providing novel insights into the mechanisms orchestrating adipose tissue remodeling during obesity, with broader applicability across diverse biological systems.

Genome-wide maps of Dnmt1-dependent DNA methylome in adipocytes

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) is a key regulator of systemic energy metabolism, and impaired WAT plasticity characterized by enlargement of preexisting adipocytes associates with WAT dysfunction, obesity and metabolic complications. However, the mechanisms that retain proper adipose tissue plasticity required for metabolic fitness are unclear. Here, we comprehensively showed that adipocyte-specific DNA methylation, manifested in enhancers and CTCF sites, directs distal enhancer-mediated transcriptomic features required to conserve metabolic functions of white adipocytes. Particularly, genetic ablation of adipocyte Dnmt1, the major methylation writer, led to increased adiposity characterized by increased adipocyte hypertrophy along with reduced expansion of adipocyte precursors (APs). These effects of Dnmt1 deficiency provoked systemic hyperlipidemia and impaired energy metabolism both in lean and obese mice. Mechanistically, Dnmt1 deficiency abrogated mitochondrial bioenergetics by inhibiting mitochondrial fission and promoted aberrant lipid metabolism in adipocytes, rendering adipocyte hypertrophy and WAT dysfunction. Dnmt1-dependent DNA methylation prevented aberrant CTCF binding and, in turn, sustained the proper chromosome architecture to permit interactions between enhancer and dynamin-related protein gene Drp1 in adipocytes. Also, adipose DNMT1 expression inversely correlated with adiposity and markers of metabolic health, but positively correlated with AP-specific markers in obese human subjects. Thus, these findings support strategies utilizing Dnmt1 action on mitochondrial bioenergetics in adipocytes to combat obesity and related metabolic pathology.

The long noncoding RNA ADIPINT regulates human adipocyte metabolism via pyruvate carboxylase

Project description:The pleiotropic function of long noncoding RNAs is well recognized, but their direct role in governing metabolic homeostasis is less understood. Here, we describe a human adipocyte-specific lncRNA, ADIPINT, that regulates pyruvate carboxylase , a pivotal enzyme in energy metabolism. With a novel approach, Targeted RNA-protein identification using Orthogonal Organic Phase Separation, and validation with electron microscopy, we show that ADIPINT binds to PC. ADIPINT knockdown alters the interactome and decreases the abundance and enzymatic activty of PC in the mitochondria. Reduced ADIPINT or PC expression lowers adipocyte lipid synthesis, breakdown, and lipid content. In human white adipose tissue, ADIPINT expression is increased in obesity and linked to fat cell size, adipose insulin resistance, and PC activity. Thus, we identify ADIPINT as a regulator of lipid metabolism in human white adipocytes, which at least in part is mediated through its interaction with PC.

Single Nucleus Transcriptomics Identifies Separate Classes of UCP1 and Futile Cycle Adipocytes [mouse snRNA-seq]

Project description:Adipose tissue can recruit catabolic adipocytes which utilize chemical energy to dissipate heat. This process occurs either by uncoupled respiration through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) or by utilizing ATP-dependent futile cycles (FCs). However, it remains unclear how these pathways coexist since both processes rely on the mitochondrial membrane potential. Utilizing single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to deconvolute the heterogeneity of subcutaneous adipose tissue in mice and humans, we identify at least 2 distinct subpopulations of beige adipocytes: FC-beige and UCP1-beige adipocytes. Importantly, we demonstrate that the FC-utilizing beige subpopulation is metabolically highly active and utilizes FCs to dissipate energy thus contributing to thermogenesis independent of UCP1. Furthermore, FC-beige adipocytes are important drivers of systemic energy homeostasis and linked to glucose metabolism and obesity resistance in humans. Taken together, our findings identify a noncanonical thermogenic adipocyte subpopulation, which could be an important regulator of energy homeostasis in mammals.

The snRNAseq Analysis of JunB deficient brown adipose tissue and control samples

Project description:The coexistence of brown adipocytes with low and high thermogenic activity is a fundamental feature of brown adipose tissue (BAT) heterogeneity and plasticity. However, the mechanisms that govern thermogenic adipocyte heterogeneity and its significance in obesity and metabolic disease remain poorly understood. Here we show that in male mice, a population of JunB-enriched (JunB+) adipocytes within the BAT exhibits lower thermogenic capacity compared to high-thermogenic adipocytes. To determine if JunB plays a role in the control of brown adipocyte heterogeneity in thermogenesis, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of BAT from JunB FKO and control mice (3-month-old male mice (5/group)) housed at room temperature. Our study pointing to a potent inhibition by JunB in the conversion from low- to high-thermogenic adipocyte.

Genome-wide changes in OGT-depleted mouse adipose tissue

Project description:Appetite control is key to combat obesity in an over-nutritious environment. Whether and how over-nutrition induces hyperphagia and obesity through the adipose-to-brain axis is unclear. O-linked beta-D-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) couples nutrient cues to O-GlcNAcylation of intracellular proteins at serine/threonine residues. Here we show that adipocyte OGT is essential for high fat diet-induced hyperphagia, but is dispensable for baseline food intake. Adipocyte OGT stimulates hyperphagia by transcriptional activation of de novo lipid desaturation and accumulation of anandamide (AEA), an endogenous appetite-inducing cannabinoid (CB). Pharmacological manipulation of peripheral CB1 signaling regulates hyperphagia in an adipocyte OGT-dependent manner. These findings define adipocyte OGT as a fat sensor that regulates peripheral lipid signals, and uncover an unexpected adipose-to-brain axis that induces hyperphagia and obesity.

The obesity-linked human lncRNA AATBC regulates adipocyte plasticity by stimulating mitochondrial dynamics and respiration [II]

Project description:Adipocytes are critical regulators of metabolism and energy balance. While white adipocyte dysfunction is a hallmark of obesity-associated disorders, the activation of thermogenic brown and beige adipocytes is linked to improved cardiometabolic health. As adipocytes dynamically adapt to environmental cues by functionally switching between white and thermogenic phenotypes, a molecular understanding of this adipocyte plasticity could help improving energy balance and weight loss. Here, we show that the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Apoptosis associated transcript in bladder cancer (AATBC) is a human-specific regulator of adipocyte plasticity. Searching for new human lncRNAs implicated in adipocyte biology we compared transcriptional profiles of human adipose tissues and cultured adipocytes and discovered that AATBC was enriched in thermogenic conditions. Using primary human adipocytes and immortalized human adipocytes we found that gain-of-function of AATBC enhanced the thermogenic phenotype whereas loss-of-function diminished this effect. The AATBC-mediated increase in mitochondrial respiration was linked to a more fragmented mitochondrial network and vice versa. While we found that AATBC is predominantly located in the nucleus, its effect on global transcription was only marginal. As AATBC is specific to humans, we expressed AATBC in adipose tissue of mice to study its systemic impact, which led to lower plasma leptin levels. Interestingly, this association was also present in human subjects, as AATBC in adipose tissue was inversely correlated with plasma leptin levels, body mass index and other measures of metabolic health. In conclusion, AATBC is a novel obesity-linked regulator of adipocyte plasticity and mitochondrial function in humans.
