Ebf2 is a selective marker of brown and beige adipogenic precursor cells (RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: Brown adipocytes, muscle and dorsal dermis descend from precursor cells in the dermomyotome, but the factors that regulate commitment to the brown adipose lineage are unknown. Here, we prospectively isolated and determined the molecular profile of embryonic brown preadipose cells. Brown adipogenic precursor activity in embryos was confined to Pdgfrα+, Myf5Cre-lineage-marked cells. RNAseq analysis identified Early B Cell Factor-2 (Ebf2) as one of the most selectively expressed genes in this cell fraction. Importantly, Ebf2-expressing cells purified from Ebf2-GFP embryos or brown fat tissue did not express myoblast or dermal cell markers and uniformly differentiated into brown adipocytes. Interestingly, Ebf2-expressing cells from white fat tissue in adult animals differentiated into brown-like (or beige) adipocytes. Loss of Ebf2 in brown preadipose cells reduced the expression levels of brown preadipose-signature genes, whereas ectopic Ebf2-expression in myoblasts activated brown preadipose-specific genes. Altogether, these results indicate that Ebf2 specifically marks and regulates the molecular profile of brown preadipose cells.

Here, we prospectively isolated and determined the molecular profile of embryonic brown preadipose cells. Brown adipogenic precursor activity in embryos was confined to PdgfrÎ±+, Myf5Cre-lineage-marked cells.

Altogether, these results indicate that Ebf2 specifically marks and regulates the molecular profile of brown preadipose cells. Embryonic fibroblasts, isolated from dorsal body wall of E14.5 Ebf2(GFP)/+ embryos, were further fractionated based on the expression of PDGFRÎ± and Ebf2 (GFP). Affymetrix microarray analysis was prefromed,to compare the gene expression between PDGFRÎ±+ Ebf2(GFP)- and PDGFRÎ±+ Ebf2(GFP)+ cells.

EBF2-regulated epigenome in brown adipose tissue [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:EBF2 activates the expression of brown fat-selective genes in adipocytes, but whether EBF2 regulates these genes via direct binding was unknown. To address this question, we analyzed the genome-wide binding profile of EBF2 in BAT using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq). To determine if EBF2 is required for the activity of lineage-specific enhancers, we examined the levels of PPARγ, RNA Polymerase II (Pol II), and H3K27ac at brown fat-specific genes in wildtype (WT) and Ebf2 KO BAT.

Ebf2 Knockout Brown Adipose Tissue [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The helix-loop-helix transcription factor Early B-Cell Factor 2 (EBF2) is required for the differentiation and function of brown and beige adipocytes. The presumptive BAT in Ebf2 knockout (KO) animals has a white-fat like morphology and molecular profile. We examined the transcriptome of WT and Ebf2 KO BAT by high-throughput sequencing.

EBF2 promotes the recruitment of beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue

Project description:The induction of beige/brite adipose cells in white adipose tissue (WAT) is associated with protection against high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in animals. The helix-loop-helix transcription factor Early B-Cell Factor-2 (EBF2) regulates brown adipose tissue development. We examined the role of EBF2 in beige fat cell biogenesis by comparing transcriptome in wildtype and EBF2-overexpressing mice in the adipose tissue. Four control replicates (wildtype) and four experimental replicates (Fabp4-Ebf2) mice were analyzed

Vector and Brown fat lncRNA 1 (Blnc1) expressing differentiated brown adipocytes

Project description:Blnc1 is a novel nuclear lncRNA that promotes brown and beige adipocyte differentiation and function. Blnc1 forms a ribonucleoprotein complex with transcription factor EBF2 to stimulate the thermogenic gene program. Further, Blnc1 itself is a target of EBF2, thereby forming a feedforward regulatory loop to drive adipogenesis toward thermogenic phenotype. We used microarrays to elucidate the role of Blnc1 on brown adipocyte differentiation and the induction of the thermogenic gene program. Brown adipocytes expressing vector or brown fat lncRNA 1 (blnc1) were differentiated for 6 days and harvested for RNA isolation and microarray using Affymetrix Mouse MG-430 PM Strip arrays. Two replicated samples were included in this study.

ZFP423 Controls EBF2 Co-activator Recruitment and PPARgamma Occupancy to Determine the Thermogenic Plasticity of Adipocytes_ChIP-seq

Project description:Energy-storing white adipocytes maintain their identity by suppressing the gene program defining energy-burning thermogenic brown/beige adipocytes. Here, we reveal that the protein-protein interaction between the transcriptional co-regulator ZFP423 and brown/beige cell determination factor, EBF2, is essential for restraining the thermogenic phenotype of white adipose tissue (WAT). Disruption of the ZFP423-EBF2 protein interaction through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing triggers widespread “browning” of WAT in adult mice. Mechanistically, adipocyte Zfp423 deficiency induces an EBF2 NuRD-to-BAF co-regulator switch and a shift in PPARgamma occupancy to thermogenic genes. This shift in PPARgamma occupancy increases the anti-diabetic efficacy of the PPARgamma agonist rosiglitazone in obesity while diminishing the unwanted weight-gaining effect of the drug. These data indicate that ZFP423 controls EBF2 co-activator recruitment and PPARgamma occupancy to determine the thermogenic plasticity of adipocytes and raise the concept of targeting transcriptional brakes in adipocyte gene expression as a therapeutic strategy to induce thermogenic adipocyte biogenesis in obesity.
