Project description:Regardless of its anatomical site, adipose tissue shares a common energy-storage role but exhibits distinctive properties. Exploring the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of white adipose tissue (WAT) is crucial for comprehending its function and properties. In this study, we employed Single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) to test five representative depots including inguinal, epididymal, mesenteric, perirenal, and pericardial adipose tissues in mice under physiological conditions. By analyzing the contents of main cell categories and gene profiles of various depots, we identified their distinctive physiological properties.

Project description:Single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), an alternative to single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), encounters technical challenges in obtaining high-quality nuclei and RNA, persistently hindering its applications. Here, we present a robust technique for isolating nuclei across various tissue types, remarkably enhancing snRNA-seq data quality. Employing this approach, we comprehensively characterize the depot-dependent cellular dynamics of various cell types underlying adipose tissue remodeling during obesity. By integrating nuclear RNA-seq data from adipocyte nuclei of varying sizes, we identify distinct adipocyte subpopulations categorized by size and functionality. Specifically, we characterize dysfunctional hypertrophic adipocytes prevalent in visceral adipose tissues during obesity, exhibiting cellular stress, inflammation and impaired metabolic gene expression. Obesity-induced changes in gene expression profiles of adipocyte subpopulations reveal their distinct contributions to adipose tissue pathophysiology. Our study establishes a robust snRNA-seq method, providing novel insights into the mechanisms orchestrating adipose tissue remodeling during obesity, with broader applicability across diverse biological systems.

Project description:Spliceosomal snRNA are key components of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs), the building blocks of the spliceosome. The biogenesis of snRNPs is a complex process involving multiple cellular and subcellular compartments, the details of which are yet to be described. In short, the snRNA is exported to the cytoplasm as 3‘-end extended precursor (pre-snRNA), where it acquires a heptameric Sm ring. The SMN complex which catalyses this step, recruits Sm proteins and assembles them around the pre-snRNA at the single stranded Sm site. After additional modification, the complex is re-imported into the nucleus where the final maturation step occurs. Our modeling suggests that during the cytoplasmic stage of maturation pre-snRNA assumes a compact secondary structure containing Near Sm site Stem (NSS) which is not compattible with the formation of the Sm ring. To validate our in silico predictions we employed selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension sequencing (SHAPE-Seq) on U2 snRNA in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro, and U4 pre-snRNA in vitro. For the in vivo experiment HeLa cells were incubated for 10 min at 37°C with NAI or DMSO to final concentration 200 mM. RNA was isolated using Trizol (Sigma) and 200 µl chloroform and precipitated with ethanol at -20°C overnight. For the ex vivo experiment, RNA was isolated from HeLa cells after Protease K treatment at room temperature for 45 min. After incubation, RNA was isolated using equilibrated phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol buffered by folding buffer (110 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 110 mM KCl, 11 mM MgCl2) and cleaned on a PD-10 column according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated RNA was treated with 100mM NAI or DMSO for 10 min at 37°C. For the in vitro experiment, U2WT and U4 pre-snRNA were transcribed by T7 polymerase followed by DNase I (30 min at 37 °C) and Proteinase K (30 min at 37°C) treatments. U2 snRNA was purified on 30 kDa Amicon columns, folded for 30 min at 37°C in 57 mM MgCl2 and incubated with 100 mM NAI at 37°C for 10 min. DMSO was used as a negative control. U4 pre-snRNA was purified on Superdex 200 Increase 10/300GL, folded for 30 min at 37°C in 60 mM MgCl2 and incubated with 100 mM NAI at 37°C for 10 min. DMSO was used as a negative control. All prepared RNA samples (in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo) were used for reverse transcription with the gene-specific primer 5’-CGTTCCTGGAGGTACTGCAA for U2 snRNA and 5’- AAAAATTCAGTCTCCG for U4 pre-snRNA. We used SHAPE MaP buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 75 mM KCl, 10 mM DTT, 0.5 mM dNTP, 6 mM MnCl2) and SuperScript II (Invitrogen). Amplicons for snRNAs were generated using gene-specific forward and reverse primers. Importantly, the primers include Nextera adaptors required for downstream library construction. PCR reaction products were cleaned using Monarch PCR&DNA Clean-up Kits. Remaining Illumina adaptor sequences were added using the PCR MasterMix and index primers provided in the NexteraXT DNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Libraries were quantified using Qubit (Invitrogen) and BioAnalyzer (Agilent). Amplicons were sequenced on a NextSeq 500/550 platform using a 150 cycle mid-output kit. All sequencing data was analyzed using the ShapeMapper 2 analysis pipeline1. The ‘—amplicon’ and ‘—primers’ flags were used, along with sequences of gene-specific handles PCR primers, to ensure primer binding sites are excluded from reactivity calculations. Default read-depth thresholds of 5000x were used. Analysis of statistically significant reactivity differences between ex vivo and in vivo-determined SHAPE reactivities was performed using the DeltaSHAPE automated analysis tool and default settings2. 1.

Project description:Adipose tissue plays a pivotal role in energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation. However, in obesity, the remarkable adaptability of adipose tissue becomes impaired. The underlying mechanisms behind this limited adaptability remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate a novel layer of regulation involving translation in the adipose stromal vascular fraction, examining its response to obesity and acute PPARγ agonist treatment with rosiglitazone. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we establish a transcriptional profile atlas of cellular remodeling from obese to lean-like states in inguinal and epididymal adipose tissue following rosiglitazone treatment. Notably, both stromal fractions exhibit a downregulation of inflammation-related transcripts and an upregulation of lipid-related metabolism and ribosomal transcripts. Adipocyte progenitor and preadipocyte populations display enhanced ex-vivo differentiation potential and upregulation in ribosome and peptide chain elongation pathways. This ribosomal remodeling is directly driven by PPARγ binding to gene promoters of ribosomal factors. Furthermore, we have characterized the translatome in the epididymal stromal fraction, highlighting a buffering response and fat-exclusive preferential translation after rosiglitazone treatment. Enhanced translation efficiency in rosiglitazone-elicited polysomes promotes the translation of transcripts containing G-rich sequences in their 5’ untranslated regions. Our findings shed light and provide a resource on how rosiglitazone remodels the adipose stromal vascular fraction, both dependent and independent of PPARγ. Importantly, we uncover translatome remodeling as a major new mechanism for maintaining translation homeostasis and preserving adipose tissue health in obesity.

Project description:In mammals, white adipose tissues are largely divided into visceral epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) and subcutaneous inguinal adipose tissue (IAT) with distinct metabolic properties. To investigate molecular mechanisms underlying depot-specific metabolic roles, we report the transcriptomes of adipocytes and SVCs derived from NCD-fed mouse epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) or inguinal adipose tissues (IAT).

Project description:The adipose tissue is a key site regulating energy metabolism. One of the contributing factors behind this is browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), however, knowledge of the intracellular determinants of browning process remains incomplete. By generating adipocyte-specific Senp2 knockout (Senp2-aKO) mice, here we showed that SENP2 negatively regulates browning by de-conjugating SUMO from C/EBPβ. Senp2-aKO mice were resistant to diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance due to increased energy expenditure and heat production. Senp2 knockout promoted beige adipocyte accumulation in inguinal WAT by upregulation of thermogenic gene expression. In addition, SENP2 knockdown promoted thermogenic adipocyte differentiation of precursor cells isolated from inguinal and epididymal WATs. Mechanistically, sumoylated C/EBPβ, a target of SENP2, suppressed expression of HOXC10, a browning inhibitor, by recruiting a transcriptional repressor DAXX. These findings indicate that a SENP2-C/EBPβ-HOXC10 axis operates for the control of beige adipogenesis in inguinal WAT.
