Project description:Mitochondrial proteases are emerging as key regulators of mitochondrial plasticity acting both as protein quality surveillance and regulatory enzymes by performing highly regulated proteolytic reactions. It remains unclear, however, whether the regulated mitochondrial proteolysis is mechanistically linked to cell identity switch such as white-to-beige conversion of adipocytes. We found that disruption of LONP1-dependent proteolysis substantially impairs thermogenic molecular program and cellular respiration in in vitro differentiated primary adipocytes. qPCR analysis showed that expression levels of Ucp1 and other beige adipocyte thermogenic genes were remarkably downregulated in LONP1 AKO adipocytes. We took a deeper dive into the characterization of histone modifications in LONP1 AKO adipocytes using the global enhancer marker H3K4me1 ChIP-Seq. These unbiased ChIP seq data are strong evidence of that LONP1 loss results in decreased H3K4me1 on a broad array of thermogenic genes. These results collectively indicate that LONP1 is crucial to maintain proper epigenetic homeostasis and beige thermogenic gene expression.

Project description:Blnc1 is a novel nuclear lncRNA that promotes brown and beige adipocyte differentiation and function. Blnc1 forms a ribonucleoprotein complex with transcription factor EBF2 to stimulate the thermogenic gene program. Further, Blnc1 itself is a target of EBF2, thereby forming a feedforward regulatory loop to drive adipogenesis toward thermogenic phenotype. We used microarrays to elucidate the role of Blnc1 on brown adipocyte differentiation and the induction of the thermogenic gene program. Brown adipocytes expressing vector or brown fat lncRNA 1 (blnc1) were differentiated for 6 days and harvested for RNA isolation and microarray using Affymetrix Mouse MG-430 PM Strip arrays. Two replicated samples were included in this study.

Project description:Brown and beige fats generate heat via uncoupled respiration to defend against cold, mechanistically, through the action of a network of transcription factors and cofactors. Here we globally profiled long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) gene expression during thermogenic adipocyte formation and identified Brown fat lncRNA 1 (Blnc1) as a novel nuclear lncRNA that promotes brown and beige adipocyte differentiation and function by forming a feedforward regulatory loop with EBF2 to drive adipogenesis toward thermogenic phenotype. LncRNAs expression were measured in BAT and WAT from mice injected saline/CL and during brown adipocyte differentiation with two replicates using Arraystar Mouse LncRNA microarray V2.0

Project description:Zbtb7b is a zinc finger and BTB domain containing transcription factor that activates the thermogenic gene program during brown and beige adipocyte differentiation.

Project description:Sustained responses to transient stimuli are important for animals to survive and reproduce in their environment. However, the mechanisms that underlie altered responses to temporary shifts in abiotic factors, such as temperature, remain poorly understood. Here, we find that transient cold exposure leads to sustained transcriptional and metabolic adaptations in brown adipose tissue, which are critical for an improved thermogenic response to secondary cold encounter. Primary thermogenic challenge triggers the delayed induction of a lipid biosynthesis program even after cessation of the original stimulus, which protects from subsequent exposures. By combining single-nucleus RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and immunofluorescence imaging, we discover that this lipogenic response is carried out by a distinct subpopulation of brown adipocytes that is localized along the perimeter of classical Ucp1high brown adipocytes. The protective effect of the lipogenic program is associated with the production of acyl carnitines, and supplementation of acyl carnitines recapitulates improved secondary cold responses even in the absence of lipogenesis. Overall, our data highlight the importance of heterogenous brown adipocyte populations for “thermogenic memory” in the setting of repeated cold exposure, which may have implications for therapeutic efforts leveraging short-term thermogenesis to counteract the hypercaloric state of obesity.

Project description:Adipose tissue plays an important role in the regulation of wholebody energy homeostasis, depending on external environments. Upon cold acclimation, brown and beige adipocytes dissipate mitochondrial proton gradient generating heat via uncoupling protein 1. Due to increasing demands for oxygen during thermogenesis, adipose tissue could become hypoxic upon cold exposure. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are one of the major transcription factors which are involved in various cellular responses under hypoxic condition. Although HIFs regulate diverse metabolic processes with selective target gene expression, their roles in thermogenic adipocytes are still elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that adipocyte HIF2a regulate thermogenic activity upon cold stimuli. To investigate molecular mechanisms of adipocyte HIF2a upon thermoneutral and cold exposure, we report the transcriptomes of inguinal adipose tissue from WT and adipocyte specific HIF2a knock-out mice.

Project description:Activation of thermogenesis in brown and beige adipocytes upon activation by external stimuli burns fuel energy as heat. Owing to its remarkable benefits on metabolic health and its demonstrated presence in adult humans, beige adipocytes holds great promise to combat obesity and metabolic diseases. Folliculin interacting protein 1 (FNIP1) is an adaptor protein originally identified through its interaction with folliculin (FLCN) and AMPK. To investigate the physiological role of FNIP1 in adipose tissue in vivo, we generated adipocyte-specific FNIP1 deficient mice (referred to as FNIP1-AKO) by crossing mice bearing a conditional Fnip1 allele with introns 5 and 6 floxed (Fnip1 lox/lox) with the adiponectin promoter–driven Cre mice. We performed transcriptome analysis by whole-genome gene expression profiling experiments in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) from both wild-type (WT) and FNIP1-AKO mice. We were particularly interested in the subset of genes that were up-regulated in the FNIP1-AKO mice. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the primary up-regulated genes were mitochondrial and lipid metabolism-related genes. Gene expression validation studies demonstrated that a broad array of genes involved in thermogenic and mitochondrial oxidative program was induced in FNIP1-AKO iWAT. Together, the transcriptional profiling results indicate that loss of FNIP1 activate thermogenic program in white adipocytes.

Project description:Non-shivering thermogenesis in adipocytes is mediated by brown adipose tissue, purportedly through the sole action of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). The physiological relevance of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis has primarily been inferred from the attenuation of thermogenic output of mice genetically lacking Ucp1 from birth (germline Ucp1-/-). However, germline Ucp1-/- mice harbor secondary changes within brown adipose tissue beyond UCP1, such as reduced electron transport chain abundance. We show here that these secondary changes also encompass reduced expression of genes regulating fuel liberation, changes that would attenuate the capacity of any thermogenic pathway. Therefore, the quantitative contribution of UCP1-dependent and -independent thermogenesis is not fully understood. To mitigate the potentially confounding ancillary changes to brown adipose tissue of germline Ucp1-/- mice, we constructed mice with inducible adipocyte-selective disruption of Ucp1. We find that, while germline Ucp1-/- mice succumb to cold-induced hypothermia with complete penetrance, most mice with inducible deletion of Ucp1 maintain homeothermy in the cold. However, inducible adipocyte-selective co-deletion of Ucp1 and creatine kinase B (Ckb, an effector of UCP1-independent thermogenesis) exacerbates cold-intolerance, indicative of a negative genetic interaction and thus a parallel thermogenic function. We find no evidence for impairments in insulation or non-shivering thermogenesis in skeletal muscle that would drive this phenotype. Furthermore, following UCP1 deletion or UCP1/CKB co-deletion from mature adipocytes, moderate cold exposure triggers the regeneration of mature adipocytes that coordinately restore UCP1 and CKB to brown adipose tissue, providing further evidence of their parallel thermogenic relationship. Our findings suggest that thermogenic adipocytes utilize non-paralogous protein redundancy – through UCP1 and CKB – to promote cold-induced energy dissipation.
