The Histone Methyltransferase SUV420H2 Regulates Brown and Beige Adipocyte Thermogenesis (ATAC-Seq)

ABSTRACT: 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.

RNA-Sequencing of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipose tissue

Project description:Since brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy through UCP1, BAT has garnered attention as a therapeutic intervention for obesity and metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. As we better understand the roles of classical brown and beige adipocytes, increased beige fat mass in response to a variety of external/internal cues is associated with significant improvements in glucose and lipid homeostasis that may not be entirely mediated by UCP1. We aim to analyze transcriptome of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipocyte to identify the UCP1-independent function.

UCP1-dependent depletion of liver extracellular succinate antagonizes inflammatory pathogenesis

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver pathology worldwide and is intimately linked with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Liver inflammation is a hallmark of NAFLD and is thought to contribute to tissue fibrosis and disease pathogenesis. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is exclusively expressed in brown and beige adipocytes and has been extensively studied for its capacity to elevate thermogenesis and reverse obesity. Here we identify an endocrine pathway regulated by UCP1 that antagonizes liver inflammation and pathology, independent of effects on obesity. We show that, without UCP1, brown and beige fat exhibit a diminished capacity to clear succinate from the circulation. Moreover, UCP1KO mice exhibit elevated extracellular succinate in liver tissue that drives inflammation through ligation of its cognate receptor succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1) in liver-resident stellate cell and macrophage populations. Conversely, increasing brown and beige adipocyte content in mice antagonizes SUCNR1-dependent inflammatory signaling in the liver. We show that this UCP1-succinate-SUCNR1 axis is necessary to regulate liver immune cell infiltration and pathology, and systemic glucose intolerance in an obesogenic environment. As such, the therapeutic utility of brown and beige adipocytes, and UCP1, extends beyond thermogenesis and may be leveraged to antagonize NAFLD and SUCNR1-dependent liver inflammation.

Actomyosin-mediated tension orchestrates uncoupled respiration in adipose tissues

Project description:The activation of brown/beige adipose tissue (BAT) metabolism and the induction of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) expression are essential for BAT-based strategies to improve metabolic homeostasis. Adrenergic signaling is viewed as a key regulator of thermogenesis and UCP1-expression in BAT, while also operating as a potent contractile stimulator in muscle. The muscle-like gene expression patterns of UCP1+ adipocytes have previously been utilized as tissue specific markers, but have not been attributed with any functional role. Here, we demonstrate that BAT utilizes actomyosin machinery to generate tensional responses following adrenergic stimulation, similar to muscle tissues. We show that activation of actomyosin mechanics are critical for the acute induction of oxidative metabolism and uncoupled respiration in UCP1+ adipocytes. Additionally, actomyosin-mediated elasticity regulates mechanosensitive transcriptional co-activators, YAP/TAZ, that facilitate the thermogenic capacity of adipocytes. These unappreciated signaling and mechanical mechanisms may inform future strategies to promote the expansion and activation of brown/beige adipocytes.

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.

Sympathetic inputs regulate adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue through cAMP-Salt inducible kinase axis

Project description:Various physiological stimuli, such as cold environment, diet, and hormones, trigger brown adipose tissue (BAT) to produce heat through sympathetic nervous system (SNS)- and -adrenergic receptors (ARs). The AR stimulation increases intracellular cAMP levels through heterotrimeric G proteins and adenylate cyclases, but the processes by which cAMP modulates brown adipocyte function are not fully understood. Here we described that specific ablation of cAMP production in brown adipocytes led to reduced lipolysis, mitochondrial biogenesis, uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) expression, and consequently defective adaptive thermogenesis. Elevated cAMP signaling by sympathetic activation inhibited Salt-inducible kinase 2 (Sik2) through protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation in brown adipose tissue. Inhibition of SIKs enhanced Ucp1 expression in differentiated brown adipocytes and Sik2 knockout mice exhibited enhanced adaptive thermogenesis at thermoneutrality in an Ucp1-dependent manner. Taken together, our data indicate that suppressing Sik2 by PKA-mediated phosphorylation is a requisite for SNS-induced Ucp1 expression and adaptive thermogenesis in BAT, and targeting Sik2 may present a novel therapeutic strategy to ramp up BAT thermogenic activity in humans.

IL-33 and ST2 license beige and brown adipocytes for uncoupled respiration

Project description:For placental mammals, the transition from the in utero maternal environment to postnatal life requires the activation of thermogenesis to maintain their core temperature. This is primarily accomplished by induction of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown and beige adipocytes, the principal sites for uncoupled respiration. Despite its importance, how placental mammals license their thermogenic adipocytes to participate in postnatal uncoupled respiration is not known. Here, we provide evidence that the 'alarmin' IL-33, a nuclear cytokine that activates type 2 immune responses, licenses brown and beige adipocytes for uncoupled respiration. We find that, in absence of IL-33 or ST2, beige and brown adipocytes develop normally but fail to express an appropriately spliced form of Ucp1 mRNA, resulting in absence of UCP1 protein, and impairment in uncoupled respiration and thermoregulation. Together, these data suggest that IL-33 and ST2 function as a developmental switch to license thermogenesis during the perinatal period.

Lrpprc deficiency in brown adipocytes diminishes cold-induced thermogenesis but improves systemic metabolism

Project description:Insufficient mitochondrial quantity in brown adipose tissue (BAT) causes defective thermogenesis and positive energy balance, which is coupled with the development of obesity. Whether disturbance of mitochondrial quality affects BAT function remains unknown. Here, we describe that the brown adipocyte-specific Leucine-rich PPR motif-containing protein knockout mice (LrpprcBKO) exhibited mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) proteome imbalance and a complete loss of the -adrenergic-stimulated thermogenesis at room temperature (RT), due to specific reduction of mtDNA-encoded genes. However, the LrpprcBKO mice were lean at normal chow and were protected against high-fat-diet-induced metabolic abnormalities, such as obesity, insulin resistance, adipose inflammation, hepatic steatosis, and hypertriglyceridemia. The beige adipocytes in inguinal white adipose tissue were expanded in LrpprcBKO mice at RT, but not at thermoneutrality. However, BAT thermogenic defects and metabolic benefits were present in LrpprcBKO mice regardless of ambient temperatures. Collectively, our results reveal that a thermogenesis-incapable BAT with mitochondrial ETC proteome imbalance can improve systemic metabolism, suggesting BAT’s contributions to thermoregulation and systemic metabolism can be uncoupled.

RNA-seq comparison of primary mouse classical brown, beige, and white adipocytes

Project description:Classical brown adipocytes in interscapular BAT (Myf-5 derived) and inducible beige cells in WAT (non-Myf-5 derived) have distinct developmental origins, although both cell types have morphological and biochemical characteristics of brown fat such as the expression of UCP1. This raises an important question as to how similar the two types of brown adipocytes are at molecular and functional levels. To this end, we employed RNA-seq to systematically determine the transcriptional signatures unique to each cell type.
