Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the ability to burn calories as heat. BAT thermogenesis is an attractive way to combat obesity pandemic. However, the transcriptional network resulting in lipid synthesis to oxidation shift during thermogenesis is not completely understood. Here, we report the regulation of two master regulators of adipogenesis, PPARγ and C/EBPα, during acute cold stress in BAT. We found PPARγ dissociated from DNA in a third of its binding sites and these included cebpa enhancers leading to decreased C/EBPα. This dissociation required PPARγ binding to activating ligands, thus modulated by diet. Meanwhile PPARα also detached from DNA, and co-activator PGC1α associated with ERR1 as part of transcriptional network regulating lipid metabolism. Subsequent global replacement of C/EBPα by C/EBPβ and its associated transcriptional machinery was required for upregulation of structural lipid synthesis despite general upregulation of fatty acid oxidation.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the ability to burn calories as heat. Utilizing BAT thermogenesis is thus an attractive way to combat obesity. However, the transcriptional network resulting in the lipid synthesis to oxidation shift during thermogenesis is not completely understood. Here, we report the regulation of two master regulators of adipogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), during acute cold stress in BAT. We found PPARγ dissociates from DNA in a fifth of its binding sites and these include Cebpa enhancers, leading to decreased C/EBPα expression. This dissociation requires PPARγ binding to activating ligands and is thus modulated by diet. Meanwhile, PPARα also detaches from DNA, and co-activator PGC1α associates with ERRα as part of a transcriptional network regulating lipid metabolism. Subsequent global replacement of C/EBPα by C/EBPβ and its associated transcriptional machinery is required for upregulation of structural lipid synthesis despite general upregulation of fatty acid oxidation.

Project description:Regulation of the thermogenic response by brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an important component of energy homeostasis with implications for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. Our preliminary analyses uncovered many nodes representing epigenetic modifiers that are altered in BAT in response to chronic thermogenic activation. Thus, we hypothesized that chronic thermogenic activation broadly alters epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones in BAT. Motivated to understand how BAT function is regulated epigenetically, we developed a novel method for the first-ever unbiased top-down proteomic quantitation of histone modifications in BAT and validated our results with a multi-omic approach. To test our hypothesis, wildtype male C57BL/6J mice were housed under chronic conditions of thermoneutral temperature (TN, 28.8°C), mild cold/room temperature (RT, 22°C), or severe cold (SC, 8°C) and BAT was analyzed for DNA methylation and histone modifications. Methylation of promoters and intragenic regions in genomic DNA decrease in response to chronic cold exposure. Integration of DNA methylation and RNA expression data suggest a role for epigenetic modification of DNA in gene regulation in response to cold. In response to cold housing, we observe increased bulk acetylation of histones H3.2 and H4, increased histone H3.2 proteoforms with di- and trimethylation of lysine 9 (K9me2 and K9me3), and increased histone H4 proteoforms with acetylation of lysine 16 (K16ac) in BAT. Taken together, our results reveal global epigenetically-regulated transcriptional "on" and "off" signals in murine BAT in response to varying degrees of chronic cold stimuli and establish a novel methodology to quantitatively study histones in BAT, allowing for direct comparisons to decipher mechanistic changes during the thermogenic response. Additionally, we make histone PTM and proteoform quantitation, RNA splicing, RRBS, and transcriptional footprint datasets available as a resource for future research.

Project description:We applied RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to map the global changes in gene expression of interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) of mice subjected to acute cold exposure for 3 days. Here we find extensive changes in the iBAT transcriptome in response to cold with a prominent induction of genes associated to lipid-related metabolic processes.
