Assessing the Impact of STX4 Knockdown on the Transcriptome of Brown Adipose Tissue

ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigate the effects of Syntax 4 (STX4) knockdown in brown adipocytes and its role in age-related changes in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Our focus was to understand the mechanisms preceding the significant loss of BAT mass observed with aging. By comparing transcriptomic profiles before the onset of this massive tissue loss, we identified a notable increase in markers indicative of pyroptotic cell death. These findings suggest a potential link between STX4 activity, cellular death pathways, and age-related alterations in BAT, providing insights into the molecular underpinnings of BAT aging and loss.

Aging Induced Syntaxin 4 Deficiency Mediates Brown Adipose Tissue Pyroptosis and Thermogenic Dysfunction

Project description:Aging, chronic high fat diet feeding and housing at thermoneutrality induces brown adipose tissue (BAT) involution, a process characterized by reduction of BAT mass and function with increased lipid droplet size. Syntaxin 4 (STX4) was identified as a healthy longevity gene, in contrast endogenous STX4 protein levels in BAT declined in aged mice resulting in pyroptotic activation of caspase 1/4 signaling pathway. Single nuclei RNA sequencing of aged mice identified a specific brown adipocyte population of UCP1low cells that were Stx4 low and pyroptotic. Similarly, UCP1Stx4KO mice led to age-dependent loss of brown adipose tissue mass concomitant with increased pyroptosis whereas restoring STX4 expression protected against pyroptosis and decline in thermogenic activity. Moreover, STX4 deficiency reduced oxidative phosphorylation, glucose uptake and glycolysis leading to reduced ATP levels, a known signal for pyroptosis. All these data demonstrate a new model of rapid brown adipocyte involution and that physiologic aging and BAT involution results from pyroptotic signaling activation.

Apoptotic brown adipocytes enhance energy expenditure via SLC29A1-regulated extracellular inosine

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy and promotes cardio-metabolic health4. However, loss of BAT during obesity and aging is a principal hurdle for BAT-centered obesity therapies. So far not much is known about BAT apoptosis and signals released by apoptotic brown adipocytes. Here, untargeted metabolomics demonstrated that apoptotic brown adipocytes release a specific pattern of metabolites with purine metabolites being highly enriched. Interestingly, this apoptotic secretome enhances expression of the thermogenic program in healthy adipocytes to maintain tissue functionality. This effect is mediated by the purine inosine which stimulates energy expenditure (EE) in brown adipocytes. Phosphoproteomic analysis demonstrated activation of the cAMP/protein kinase A signaling pathway and of pro-thermogenic transcription factors by inosine.

Resistance to age-related hearing loss in the echolocating big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus)

Project description:Hearing mediates many behaviors critical for survival in echolocating bats, including foraging and navigation. Although most mammals are susceptible to progressive age-related hearing loss, the evolution of biosonar, which requires the ability to hear low-intensity echoes from outgoing sonar signals, may have selected against the development of hearing deficits in bats. Many echolocating bats exhibit exceptional longevity and rely on acoustic behaviors for survival to old age; however relatively little is known about the aging bat auditory system. In this study, we used DNA methylation to estimate the ages of wild-caught big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) and measured hearing sensitivity in young and aging bats using auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). We found no evidence for hearing deficits in bats up to 12.5 years of age, demonstrated by comparable thresholds and similar ABR and DPOAE amplitudes across age groups. We additionally found no significant histological evidence for cochlear aging, with similar hair cell counts, afferent, and efferent innervation patterns in young and aging bats. Here we demonstrate that big brown bats show minimal evidence for age-related hearing loss and therefore represent informative models for investigating mechanisms that may preserve hearing function over a long lifetime.

Environmental dose of Bisphenol S exposure to brown adipose tissue accelerates aging

Project description:Bisphenol S (BPS), a common industrial chemical, is increasingly recognized for its potential to disrupt physiological functions even at environmental doses. In this study, we investigated the effects of BPS exposure on lifespan and health span using Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse models. We found that BPS accumulates in brown adipose tissue (BAT), inducing BAT aging by triggering mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, altered intercellular communication, cellular senescence, deregulated nutrient-sensing pathways, impaired macroautophagy, and loss of proteostasis. These changes accelerated aging in multiple organs, including the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and skeletal muscle. Notably, BAT transplantation experiments revealed that BAT from BPS-exposed mice induced accelerated aging in non-exposed mice, while BAT from non-exposed mice mitigated aging in BPS-exposed mice. In summary, this study is the first to demonstrate that environmental doses of BPS promote systemic aging by disrupting BAT energy metabolism.

Control of Embryonic Brown Adipocyte Development by GATA6 [ChIP-Seq]

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. We identified the transcription factor GATA6 as a selective marker of brown adipogenic progenitor cells. Deletion of Gata6 in the brown fat lineage resulted in a striking loss of BAT. To gain insight into the mechanism by which GATA6 supports BAT development, we performed ChIP-seq for GATA6 from the BAT of embryonic day 15.5 embryos.

Determination of Lsd1 function in brown adipose tissue by global transcriptome analysis [RNA-seq]

Project description:To investigate the role of Lsd1 in BAT, we crossed mice harboring conditional Lsd1 alleles (Zhu et al., 2014) with the Ucp1-Cre deleter strain (Turpin et al., 2014), which results in Cre-mediated loss of Lsd1 selectively in brown adipocytes. Transciptome analysis of BAT obtained from control and knock-out mice revealed 3322 genes differentially expressed between Lsd1 knock-out and control mice at 10 weeks of age (p-value<10-2).

Lipid-Associated Macrophages Reshape BAT Cell Identity in Obesity [DBDB_singlecell]

Project description:Obesity and type 2 diabetes cause a loss in brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity in mice and human, but the molecular mechanisms that drive BAT cell remodeling remain largely. Using a multilayered approach, we comprehensively map a deep reorganization in the BAT cells. We uncovered a subset of macrophages as the lipid-associated macrophages (LAM), which were massively increased in genetic and dietary model of BAT expansion. LAM participate in this scenario by capturing extracellular vesicles carrying damaged lipids and mitochondria released from metabolically-stressed brown adipocytes. CD36 scavenger receptor drives LAM phenotype and through * in vitro* and *in vivo* models, we demonstrated that CD36-deficient LAM increased brown fat genes. LAM release Tgfb1 that reduces brown adipocytes identity through Aldh1a1 induction. This study provides the first description of cell dynamics in BAT of obese models identifying LAM as responder to tissue-level metabolic stress and key driver to loss of BAT cell identity.
