Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that protects animals against hypothermia and obesity. BAT derives from the multipotent paraxial mesoderm; however, the identity of embryonic brown fat progenitor cells and regulators of adipogenic commitment are unclear. Here, we performed single cell gene expression analyses of mesenchymal cells during mouse embryogenesis with a focus on BAT development.

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.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates chemical energy in the form of heat, as a defense against hypothermia and obesity. Current evidence indicates that brown adipocytes arise from Myf5+-dermotomal precursors through the action of a PRDM16-C/EBP-_ transcriptional complex; however, the underlying mechanisms that determine lineage specification and maintenance of brown adipose cells remain poorly understood. Here we study the role of euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1), a brown fat-enriched lysine methyltransferase, as an essential enzymatic component of the PRDM16 transcriptional complex and controls brown adipose cell fate. To identify targets and function of EHMT1, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling of BAT from control mouce (Ehmt1flox/flox), Ehmt1Myf5 KO mouse (Myf5-Cre+/-; Ehmt1flox/flox) and Ehmt1adipo KO mouse (Adipo-Cre+/-; Ehmt1flox/flox). Loss of EHMT1 in Myf5+ lineage causes a near total loss of brown fat characteristics and induces muscle-selective gene program in vivo. In addition, adipose-specific deletion of EHMT1 by Adipo-Cre leads to a marked reduction of the thermogenic and fat oxidation genes.

Project description:Brown adipocytes represent a specialized type of mammalian adipocytes able to uncouple nutrients catabolism and ATP generation to dissipate energy as heat. They play an important role in mammals, allowing non-shivering thermogenesis to regulate body temperature in response to cold exposure. In humans, the brown fat tissue is dispersed in small depots found throughout the neck and trunk region. Increasing brown fat activity either with drug treatment or with cell therapy approaches are considered as potential approaches for the treatment of metabolic syndrome and obesity. The recent development of in vitro differentiation strategies relying on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offers in theory the possibility to produce unlimited amounts of BAT. A strategy efficiently applied to several tissues is to recapitulate step by step the development of the tissue of interest by exposing hPSCs to the signaling cues used during normal embryonic development. However, this strategy has proven difficult to implement for brown fat as the development of this tissue is poorly characterized. Here, we first used single cell RNA sequencing to characterize the development of interscapular brown fat in mouse. Our analysis identified a previously unrecognized population of brown adipocytes precursors characterized by expression of the transcription factor GATA6. We showed that this precursor population can be efficiently generated from hPSCs by modulating the signaling pathways identified our transcriptomic analysis in paraxial mesoderm precursors differentiated in vitro. These precursors can in turn be efficiently converted into functional brown adipocytes which can respond to adrenergic stimuli by increasing their metabolism resulting in heat production.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) evolved in mammals as a natural defence system against hypothermia and obesity. While existence of BAT in adult humans has been recently appreciated, its cellular origin and molecular identity remain elusive due in large to high cellular heterogeneity within adipose tissues. Here we isolated clonal adipocytes from adult human BAT as well as WAT (control) and critically analyzed their transcriptome to identify bona fide BAT markers and its new functions.

Project description:PR (PRD1-BF1-RIZ1 homologous) domain-containing 16 (PRDM16) drives a brown fat differentiation program, but the mechanisms by which PRDM16 activates brown fat-selective genes have been unclear. Through chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses in brown adipose tissue (BAT), we reveal that PRDM16 binding is highly enriched at a broad set of brown fat-selective genes. Importantly, we found that PRDM16 physically binds to MED1, a component of the Mediator complex, and recruits it to superenhancers at brown fat-selective genes. PRDM16 deficiency in BAT reduces MED1 binding at PRDM16 target sites and causes a fundamental change in chromatin architecture at key brown fat-selective genes. Together, these data indicate that PRDM16 controls chromatin architecture and superenhancer activity in BAT.

Project description:We performed a genome-wide deep sequencing analysis of the microRNAs abundant in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from murine brown adipose tissue and in in vitro differentiated mature brown adipocytes. Several microRNAs were identified as differentially regulated when comparing datasets from MSCs vs. mature fat cells. These microRNAs may have an implication in the regulation of adipogenesis as well as thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT).
