The pesticide chlorpyrifos promotes obesity by inhibiting diet-induced thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue

ABSTRACT: Obesity results from a caloric imbalance between energy intake, absorption and expenditure. In both rodents and humans, diet-induced thermogenesis contributes to energy expenditure and involves the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). We hypothesized that environmental toxicants commonly used as food additives or pesticides might reduce BAT thermogenesis through suppression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and this may contribute to the development of obesity. Using a step-wise screening approach, we discovered that the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos suppresses UCP1 and mitochondrial respiration in BAT at concentrations as low as 1 pM. In mice housed at thermoneutrality and fed a high-fat diet, chlorpyrifos impaired BAT mitochondrial function and diet-induced thermogenesis, promoting greater obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance. This was associated with reductions in cAMP; activation of p38MAPK and AMPK; protein kinases critical for maintaining UCP1 and mitophagy, respectively in BAT. These data indicate that the commonly used pesticide chlorpyrifos, suppresses diet-induced thermogenesis and the activation of BAT, suggesting its use may contribute to the obesity epidemic.

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.

Gene expression data of brown-like adipocytes from Lgr4 homozygous mutant SVF

Project description:Obesity has become a global health problem. Brown adipose tissue (BAT), specialized for energy expenditure through thermogenesis, potently counteracts obesity. Recently, BAT is also identified in human adults. We found that Lgr4 homozygous mutant (Lgr4m/m) mice display reduced adiposity and exhibit brown-like adipocytes in their WAT depots with higher expression of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1). Furthermore, Lgr4 ablation potentiates brown adipocyte differentiation from stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of epididymal WAT (eWAT) in vitro. We used microarrays to emxamine the gene expression profiles of the brown-like adipocytes differentiated from SVF of wild-type and Lgr4 mutant mice. We identified distinct gene expression profiles of these two groups. To demonstrate Lgr4 ablation can potentiate the differentiation of SVF from eWAT toward brown-like adipocytes in vitro, we isolated SVF from epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of wild-type (WT) and Lgr4 mutant mice. We then plated SVF cells in 12-well plate, and differentiated them to brown adipocytes, followed by RNA extraction and hybridization with Affymetrix microarrays.

Architecture of the outbred brown fat proteome defines regulators of metabolic physiology

Project description:Obesity is a polygenic disorder with variable penetrance in the general population. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a major regulator of energy expenditure and metabolic physiology due to a specialized proteome that orchestrates futile metabolic cycles, which could be leveraged to treat obesity. However, nearly all mechanistic studies of BAT protein function occur in a single inbred mouse strain, which has limited understanding of generalizable mechanisms of BAT regulation over metabolism. Here we perform deep quantitative multiplexed proteomics of BAT across a cohort of 163 genetically defined Diversity Outbred (DO) mice, a model that parallels the genetic and phenotypic variation found in the human population. Leveraging the high variation afforded by this model, we define the functional architecture of the outbred BAT proteome, comprising 10,479 proteins. In doing so, we assign novel co-operative functions to 2,578 proteins with 780 established protein networks. We demonstrate that this analytic framework enables systematic discovery of regulators of BAT function, exemplified by uncovering SFXN5 and LETMD1 as modulators of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis. We also identify 638 proteins that underlie protection from, or sensitivity to, at least one parameter of metabolic disease. From this basis, we identify the Na+/K+- ATPase α2 subunit as an inhibitor of BAT energy expenditure, that increases adiposity through antagonism of calcium influx-dependent activation of thermogenic effectors. We provide this Outbred Proteomic Architecture as a resource for understanding conserved mechanisms of BAT regulation over metabolic physiology.

Absence of MCJ/DnaJC15 promotes brown adipose tissue thermogenesis

Project description:Obesity poses a global health challenge, demanding a deeper understanding of adipose tissue (AT) and its mitochondria. This study describes the role of the mitochondrial protein Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ/DnaJC15) in orchestrating brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. Here we show how MCJ expression decreases during obesity, as evident in human and mouse adipose tissue samples. MCJKO mice, even without UCP1, a fundamental thermogenic protein, exhibit elevated BAT thermogenesis. Electron microscopy unveils changes in mitochondrial morphology resembling BAT activation. Proteomic analysis confirms these findings and suggests involvement of the eIF2α mediated stress response. The pivotal role of eIF2α is scrutinized by in vivo CRISPR deletion of eIF2α in MCJKO mice, abrogating thermogenesis. These findings uncover the importance of MCJ as a regulator of BAT thermogenesis, presenting it as a promising target for obesity therapy.

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.

Proteome imbalance of mitochondrial electron transport chain in brown adipocytes leads to metabolic benefits

Project description:Adaptive thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for thermoregulation and contributes to total energy expenditure. However, whether BAT has non-thermogenic functions is largely unknown. Here, we describe that mice with a BAT-specific Liver kinase b1 deletion (Lkb1BKO mice) exhibited impaired mitochondrial respiration and thermogenesis in BAT, but reduced adiposity and liver triglyceride accumulation under high-fat-diet feeding at room temperature. Importantly, these metabolic benefits were also present in Lkb1BKO mice at thermoneutrality, where BAT thermogenesis was not required. Mechanistically, decreased mRNA levels of mtDNA-encoded electron transport chain (ETC) subunits and ETC proteome imbalance led to impaired mitochondrial respiration in BAT of Lkb1BKO mice. Furthermore, reducing mtDNA gene expression directly in BAT by removing mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) in BAT also showed ETC proteome imbalance and the tradeoff between BAT thermogenesis and systemic metabolism at both room temperature and thermoneutrality. Collectively, our data demonstrates that ETC proteome imbalance in BAT regulates systemic metabolism independently of BAT thermogenic capacity.

Ablation of TET proteins in adipocytes protects against adiposity and metabolic dysfunction by potentiating energy expenditure

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine in DNA to 5- hydroxymethylcytosine and further oxidized derivatives. Here we show that TET proteins are key epigenetic suppressors of adipocyte thermogenesis and energy expenditure in both white and brown adipose tissues in vivo. Tet expression in adipocytes decreases upon cold or adrenergic stimulation but increases following high-fat diet (HFD) consumption. Mice with triple deletion of all three Tet genes in adipocytes have higher energy expenditure due to enhanced fat browning and thermogenesis. They also show significantly enhanced lipolysis because of elevated expression of Adrb3 and key lipases including Atgl and Hsl. Consequently, the knockout mice display improved cold tolerance and are substantially resistant to obesity, inflammation, and associated metabolic complications including insulin resistance. Mechanistically, TET deficiency substantially prevents the HFD-induced transcriptional alterations in adipose tissues. TET proteins recruit histone deacetylases (HDACs) to the key thermogenic gene loci including Adrb3, Ppargc1a, and Ucp1, leading to transcriptional repression through histone deacetylation. Thus, the TET-HDAC axis may be therapeutically targeted to treat obesity and related metabolic diseases.

Proteomic, Acetyl-Proteomic, and Metabolomic Analysis of Brown Fat Reveals Key Features of Acetyl-CoA Metabolism During Thermogenesis

Project description:Stimulating brown adipose tissue (BAT) energy expenditure could be a therapy for obesity and related metabolic diseases. Achieving this requires a systems-level understanding of the biochemical underpinnings of thermogenesis. To identify novel metabolic features of active BAT, we measured protein abundance, protein acetylation, and metabolite levels in BAT isolated from mice living in their thermoneutral zone or in colder environments. We find that the enzymes which synthesize lipids from cytosolic acetyl-coA are among the most robustly increased proteins after cold acclimation, consistent with recent studies highlighting the importance of anabolic de novo lipogenesis in BAT. In addition, many mitochondrial proteins are hyperacetylated by cold acclimation, including several sites on UCP1, which may have functional relevance. Metabolomics analysis further reveals cold-dependent increases to acetylated carnitine and several amino acids. This BAT multi-omics resource highlights widespread proteomic and metabolic changes linked to acetyl-coA synthesis and utilization that may be useful in unraveling the remarkable metabolic properties of active BAT.
