Next-generation sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of T1-T4 sympathetic ganglia transcriptomes from TRKC+/-, AdNTF3-Tg and their respective wild type control mice after 1 day cold exposure at 5℃

ABSTRACT: Activation of brown fat thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is important in brown/beige adipocyte thermogenesis. Here we discover a novel fat-derived “adipokine” neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NTF3) and its receptor Tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TRKC) as key regulators of SNS growth and innervation in adipose tissue. NTF3 is highly expressed in brown/beige adipocytes, and potently stimulates sympathetic neuron neurite growth. NTF3/TRKC regulates a plethora of pathways in neuronal axonal growth and elongation. Adipose tissue sympathetic innervation is significantly increased in mice with adipocyte-specific NTF3 overexpression, but profoundly reduced in mice with TRKC haploinsufficiency (TRKC+/-). Increasing NTF3 via pharmacological or genetic approach promotes beige adipocyte development, enhances cold-induced thermogenesis and protects against diet-induced obesity (DIO); whereas TRKC+/- mice or SNS TRKC deficient mice are cold intolerant and prone to DIO. Thus, NTF3 is an important fat-derived neurotrophic factor regulating SNS innervation, energy metabolism and obesity.

Sympathetic inputs regulate adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue through cAMP-Salt inducible kinase axis

Project description:Various physiological stimuli, such as cold environment, diet, and hormones, trigger brown adipose tissue (BAT) to produce heat through sympathetic nervous system (SNS)- and -adrenergic receptors (ARs). The AR stimulation increases intracellular cAMP levels through heterotrimeric G proteins and adenylate cyclases, but the processes by which cAMP modulates brown adipocyte function are not fully understood. Here we described that specific ablation of cAMP production in brown adipocytes led to reduced lipolysis, mitochondrial biogenesis, uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) expression, and consequently defective adaptive thermogenesis. Elevated cAMP signaling by sympathetic activation inhibited Salt-inducible kinase 2 (Sik2) through protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation in brown adipose tissue. Inhibition of SIKs enhanced Ucp1 expression in differentiated brown adipocytes and Sik2 knockout mice exhibited enhanced adaptive thermogenesis at thermoneutrality in an Ucp1-dependent manner. Taken together, our data indicate that suppressing Sik2 by PKA-mediated phosphorylation is a requisite for SNS-induced Ucp1 expression and adaptive thermogenesis in BAT, and targeting Sik2 may present a novel therapeutic strategy to ramp up BAT thermogenic activity in humans.

Cold induces a -adrenergicindependent thermogenic gene program in subcutaneous adipose tissue

Project description:Classic brown fat and inducible beige fat both dissipate chemical energy in the form of heat through the actions of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1. This nonshivering thermogenesis is crucial for mammals as a defense against cold and obesity/diabetes. Cold is known to act indirectly through the sympathetic nervous systems and -adrenergic signaling, but here we report that cold temperature can directly activate a thermogenic gene program in adipocytes independent of -adrenergic signaling.

UCP1-dependent depletion of liver extracellular succinate antagonizes inflammatory pathogenesis

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver pathology worldwide and is intimately linked with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Liver inflammation is a hallmark of NAFLD and is thought to contribute to tissue fibrosis and disease pathogenesis. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is exclusively expressed in brown and beige adipocytes and has been extensively studied for its capacity to elevate thermogenesis and reverse obesity. Here we identify an endocrine pathway regulated by UCP1 that antagonizes liver inflammation and pathology, independent of effects on obesity. We show that, without UCP1, brown and beige fat exhibit a diminished capacity to clear succinate from the circulation. Moreover, UCP1KO mice exhibit elevated extracellular succinate in liver tissue that drives inflammation through ligation of its cognate receptor succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1) in liver-resident stellate cell and macrophage populations. Conversely, increasing brown and beige adipocyte content in mice antagonizes SUCNR1-dependent inflammatory signaling in the liver. We show that this UCP1-succinate-SUCNR1 axis is necessary to regulate liver immune cell infiltration and pathology, and systemic glucose intolerance in an obesogenic environment. As such, the therapeutic utility of brown and beige adipocytes, and UCP1, extends beyond thermogenesis and may be leveraged to antagonize NAFLD and SUCNR1-dependent liver inflammation.

Sympathetic neuron-associated macrophages contribute to obesity by importing and metabolizing norepinephrine

Project description:The cellular mechanism(s) linking macrophages to norepinephrine (NE)-mediated regulation of thermogenesis has been a topic of debate. Here, we identify sympathetic neuron-associated macrophages (SAMs) as a population of macrophages that mediate clearance of NE via expression of Slc6a2, an NE transporter, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOa), a degradation enzyme. Optogenetic activation of the SNS upregulates NE uptake by SAMs and shifts the SAM profile to a more pro-inflammatory state. NE uptake by SAMs is prevented by genetic depletion of Slc6a2 or inhibition of the transporter. We also found that obesity increases SAM content in the SNS. In two mouse models of obesity, genetic ablation of Slc6a2 in SAMs increases brown adipose tissue (BAT) content, causes browning of white fat, increases thermogenesis and leads to significant and sustained weight loss. We further show that this pathway is conserved as human sympathetic ganglia also contain SAMs and the analogous molecular machinery for NE clearance, thus constituting a potential target for obesity treatment.

The Histone Methyltransferase SUV420H2 Regulates Brown and Beige Adipocyte Thermogenesis (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity. Epigenetic regulation has emerged as a key mechanism underlying BAT development and function. To study the epigenetic regulation of BAT thermogenesis, we surveyed the expression of epigenetic enzymes that catalyze histone modifications in developmental beige adipocytes and found a unique expression pattern of suppressor of variegation 4-20 homolog 2 (Drosophila) (Suv420h2), a histone methyltransferase that preferentially catalyzes the tri-methylation at histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me3), a hallmark of gene silencing. Here we discovered that Suv420h2 expression parallels that of UCP1 expression in brown and beige adipocytes and that SUV420H2 knockdown significantly reduces, whereas SUV420H2 overexpression significantly increases UCP1 levels in brown adipocytes. Suv420h2 knockout (H2KO mice exhibit impaired cold-induced thermogenesis and are prone to diet-induced obesity. In contrast, mice with specific overexpression of Suv420h2 in adipocytes display enhanced cold-induced thermogenesis and are resistant to diet-induced obesity. Further study showed that Suv420h2 catalyzes H4K20 trimethylation at eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) promoter, leading to down-regulated expression of 4E-BP1, a negative regulator of the translation initiation complex. This in turn up-regulates PGC1α protein levels, which is associated with increased expression of thermogenic program. We conclude that Suv420h2 is a key regulator of brown/beige adipocyte development and thermogenesis.

T cells and adipocyte IL-17RC control fat innervation and thermogenesis

Project description:The sympathetic nervous system innervates peripheral organs to regulate their function and maintain homeostasis, whereas target cells also produce neurotrophic factors to promote sympathetic innervation1,2. The molecular basis of this bi-directional communication is unknown. Here we use thermogenic adipose tissue from mice as a model system to show that T cells, specifically T cells, have a crucial role in promoting sympathetic innervation, at least in part by driving the expression of TGF1 in parenchymal cells via the IL-17 receptor complex (IL-17RC). Ablation of IL-17RC specifically in adipose tissue reduces expression of TGF1 in adipocytes, impairs local sympathetic innervation and causes obesity and other metabolic phenotypes that are consistent with defective thermogenesis; innervation can be fully rescued by restoring TGF1 expression. Ablating cells and the IL-17RC signalling pathway also impairs sympathetic innervation in salivary glands and the lungs. These findings demonstrate coordination between T cells and parenchymal cells to regulate sympathetic innervation.

Lrpprc deficiency in brown adipocytes diminishes cold-induced thermogenesis but improves systemic metabolism

Project description:Insufficient mitochondrial quantity in brown adipose tissue (BAT) causes defective thermogenesis and positive energy balance, which is coupled with the development of obesity. Whether disturbance of mitochondrial quality affects BAT function remains unknown. Here, we describe that the brown adipocyte-specific Leucine-rich PPR motif-containing protein knockout mice (LrpprcBKO) exhibited mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) proteome imbalance and a complete loss of the -adrenergic-stimulated thermogenesis at room temperature (RT), due to specific reduction of mtDNA-encoded genes. However, the LrpprcBKO mice were lean at normal chow and were protected against high-fat-diet-induced metabolic abnormalities, such as obesity, insulin resistance, adipose inflammation, hepatic steatosis, and hypertriglyceridemia. The beige adipocytes in inguinal white adipose tissue were expanded in LrpprcBKO mice at RT, but not at thermoneutrality. However, BAT thermogenic defects and metabolic benefits were present in LrpprcBKO mice regardless of ambient temperatures. Collectively, our results reveal that a thermogenesis-incapable BAT with mitochondrial ETC proteome imbalance can improve systemic metabolism, suggesting BAT’s contributions to thermoregulation and systemic metabolism can be uncoupled.

gdT cells and adipocyte IL-17RC control fat innervation and thermogenesis

Project description:The sympathetic nervous system innervates peripheral organs to regulate their function and maintain homeostasis, whereas target cells also produce neurotrophic factors to promote sympathetic innervation. The molecular basis of this bi-directional communication remains to be fully elucidated. We use thermogenic adipose tissue as a model system to show that T cells, specifically gdT cells, play a critical role in promoting sympathetic innervation, at least in part through driving TGFβ1 expression in parenchymal cells via IL-17 Receptor C. Adipose-specific ablation of IL-17 Receptor C reduces TGFβ1 expression in adipocytes, impairs local sympathetic innervation and causes obesity and other metabolic phenotypes consistent with defective thermogenesis; innervation can be fully rescued by restoring TGFβ1 expression. Ablating gdT cells and the IL-17 Receptor C signaling pathway also impairs sympathetic innervation in salivary glands and the lung. These findings demonstrate T cell/parenchymal cell coordination to regulate sympathetic innervation.

Brown adipose tissue macrophages control tissue innervation and homeostatic energy expenditure

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages provide a systemic innate immune defense network and critically contribute to establishment and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Here we used constitutive and inducible mutagenesis to delete the nuclear transcription regulator methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) in defined tissue macrophages. Animals lacking the Rett syndrome-associated gene in macrophages did not show signs of neurodevelopmental disorder, but surprisingly displayed altered body composition and spontaneous obesity. This phenotype involved neither hyper-phagia, primary hyper-insulinemia nor inflammation, but rather could be linked to impaired brown adipose tissue (BAT) function. Specifically, mutagenesis of a BAT-resident CX3CR1+ macrophage subpopulation compromised homeostatic, though not acute cold-induced thermogenesis. Mechanistically, steady state BAT malfunction of pre-obese mice harboring mutant macrophages was associated with decreased sympathetic innervation and lower local norepinephrine titers, resulting in reduced adipocyte expression of the thermogenic factors UCP1 and DIO2. Mutant macrophages were found to over-express PlexinA4, which might contribute to the phenotype by repulsion of Sema6A-expressing sympathetic axons. Collectively, we report a previously unappreciated homeostatic role of macrophages in the control of tissue innervation, disruption of which in BAT results in metabolic imbalance.
