Hyaluronan mediates cold-induced adipose tissue beiging

ABSTRACT: Adipose tissue beiging refers to a process through which beige adipocytes emerge in classical white adipose tissue depots. Beige adipocytes dissipate chemical energy and secrete adipokines like classical brown adipocytes to improve systemic metabolism, which offers benefits for people with obesity and metabolic diseases. Cold exposure and β3-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist treatment are two commonly used stimuli for increasing beige adipocytes in mice, but their underlying biological processes are different. Transcriptional analysis of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) has revealed that changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) pathway genes are specific to cold exposure. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a non-sulfated linear polysaccharide produced by nearly all cells, is one of the most common components of ECM. We found that cold exposure significantly increases iWAT HA levels while β3-AR agonist CL316,243 fails to do so. Increasing HA level in iWAT by Has2 overexpression significantly increases cold-induced adipose tissue beiging; in contrast, decreasing HA by Spam1 overexpression, which encodes a hyaluronidase that digests HA, significantly decreases cold-induced iWAT beiging. All of these data implicate a role of HA in promoting adipose tissue beiging that is unique to cold exposure. Given the failure of β3-AR agonists in clinical trials for obesity and metabolic diseases, increasing HA could serve as a new approach to recruiting more beige adipocytes to combat metabolic diseases.

Single Cell RNA Profiling Reveals Adipocyte to Macrophage Signaling Sufficient to Enhance Thermogenesis

Project description:Adipocytes deficient in fatty acid synthase (iAdFASNKO) emit signals that mimic cold exposure to enhance the appearance of thermogenic beige adipocytes in mouse inguinal white adipose tissues (iWAT). Both cold- and iAdFASNKO-induced iWAT “browning” pathways upregulate the sympathetic nerve fiber (SNF) modulator Nrg4 and activate SNFs adjacent to beige adipocytes. Adipocyte cAMP/protein kinase A signaling is necessary for beige adipocyte appearance, as we show here it is blocked in Gsa deficient cold exposed or iAdFASNKO mice. Surprisingly however, denervation of iWAT failed to block adipocyte browning in iAdFASNKO mice, as it does in cold-exposed mice. Similarly, Nrg4 deficiency markedly reduced iWAT UCP1 in the cold, but not in double FASN/Nrg4 KO mice. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of iWAT stromal cells revealed increased macrophages displaying gene expression signatures of the alternately activated type in iAdFASNKO mice, and their depletion abrogated iWAT beiging. Altogether, these findings reveal divergent cellular pathways are sufficient to cause adipocyte browning. Importantly, adipocyte signaling to enhance alternatively activated macrophages in iAdFASNKO mice is associated with enhanced adipose thermogenesis independent of the sympathetic neuron involvement this process requires in the cold.

Remodeling of gene regulatory networks underlying thermogenic stimuli-induced adipose beiging

Project description:Beige adipocytes are induced by cold temperatures or β3-adrenergic receptor (Adrb3) agonists. They create heat through glucose and fatty acid (FA) oxidation, conferring metabolic benefits. The distinct and shared mechanisms by which these treatments induce beiging are unknown. Here, we performed single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (snATAC-seq) on adipose tissue from mice exposed to cold or an Adrb3 agonist to identify cellular and chromatin accessibility dynamics during beiging. Both stimuli induce chromatin remodeling that influence vascularization and inflammation in adipose. Beige adipocytes from cold-exposed mice have increased accessibility at genes regulating glycolytic processes, whereas Adrb3 activation increases cAMP responses. While both thermogenic stimuli increase accessibility at genes regulating thermogenesis, lipogenesis, and beige adipocyte development, the kinetics and magnitudes of the changes are distinct for the stimuli. Accessibility changes at lipogenic genes are linked to functional changes in lipid composition of adipose. Both stimuli tend to decrease the proportion of palmitic acids, a saturated FA in adipose. However, Adrb3 activation increases the proportion of monounsaturated FAs, whereas cold increases the proportion of polyunsaturated FAs. These findings reveal common and distinct mechanisms of cold and Adrb3 induced beige adipocyte biogenesis, and identify unique functional consequences of manipulating these pathways in vivo.

RNA-seq of cold stimulated inguinal fat of wild type and Rarres2-/- mice

Project description:Although various stimuli and mediators have been identified to promote thermogenic beige fat development, less is known about the negative regulator of cold-induced beiging. We here show that lack of chemerin that is highly expressed in white adipose tissue or its receptor CMKLR1 in adipocytes enhances cold-induced beiging and thermogenesis. Our results reveal a previously unrecognized beige-inhibitory role of chemerin-CMKLR1 axis, and suggests CMKLR1 as a therapeutic target for obesity-related metabolic disorders.

A non-cell autonomous mechanism of beige adipocyte renaissance in subcutaneous adipose tissue

Project description:Two types of UCP1 positive cells-brown and beige adipocytes exist in mammals. Beige adipocytes are very plastic, and can be dynamically regulated by environment.Beige adipocytes formed postnatally in subcutaneous inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) lost thermogenic gene expression and multilocular morphology at adult stage, but cold could restore their “beigeing” characteristics, a phenomenon termed as beige adipocyte renaissance. Our results showed that beige cell maintenance and renaissance in adult mice were regulated by cAMP and HDAC4 signaling in white adipocytes non-cell autonomously. Genetic modulations of various components of this cAMP-HDAC4 cascade (e.g. LKB1) led to persistent browning and reduced adiposity independent of thermogenesis. To further study the mechanisms of beige adipocytes maintenance, we performed RNA-seq with samples from inguinal white adipose tissues of WT, AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F, and AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F; HDAC4 F/F mice.Our studies will move the beige adipocyte field forward and attract clinical applications to target beige adipocyte renaissance.

Distinct signaling and transcriptional pathways regulate peri-weaning development and cold-induced recruitment of beige adipocytes

Project description:Adipose tissue provides a defense against starvation and environmental cold. These dichotomous functions are performed by three distinct cell types: energy-storing white adipocytes, and thermogenic beige and brown adipocytes. Previous studies have demonstrated that exposure to environmental cold stimulates the recruitment of beige adipocytes in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of mice and humans, a process that has been extensively investigated. However, beige adipose tissue also develops during the peri-weaning period in mice, a developmental program that remains poorly understood. Here, we address this gap in our knowledge using genetic, imaging, physiologic, and genomic approaches. We find that, unlike cold-induced recruitment in adult animals, peri-weaning development of beige adipocytes occurs in a temperature- and sympathetic nerve-independent manner. Instead, the transcription factor B cell leukemia/lymphoma 6 (BCL6) acts in a cell autonomous manner to regulate the commitment but not the maintenance phase of beige adipogenesis. Genome-wide RNA-seq studies reveal that BCL6 regulates a core set of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial uncoupling, which are necessary for development of functional beige adipocytes. Together, our findings demonstrate that distinct transcriptional and signaling mechanisms control peri-weaning development and cold-induced recruitment of beige adipocytes in mammals.

RNA-seq comparison of CD81 positive and negative cells in subcutaneous and visceral white fat and brown fat tissues in mouse

Project description:Subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) is known to undergo browning in response to cold exposure. The goal of this study is to identify elusive precursors found within scWAT that possess the ability to differentiate into beige adipocytes. A single cell transcriptomics experiment conducted by us identified the tetraspanin CD81 as a marker of adipose precursor cells (APC) that can convert to beige upon cold exposure. However, what distinguishes a CD81 positive APC from its CD81 negative counterpart in the same tissue, or in a different tissue remains unknown. Therefore, we applied bulk RNA-seq to sorted populations of Lineage negative Sca1+, CD81+/ CD81- cells from subcutaneous and visceral WAT, and brown adipose tissue to decipher the molecular underpinnings that render a CD81+ APC residing in scWAT, beige in response to browning.
