Project description:Committed preadipocyte fibroblasts were genetically labelled in transgenic mice by expressing GFP under the control of the locus for Zfp423, a gene controlling preadipocyte determination. These mice are herein referred to as Zfp423-GFP mice. The overall goal was to identify genes differentially expressed between adipogenic GFP+ firboblasts and non-adipogenic GFP- fibroblasts from either inguinal or epididymal fat stromal vascular cultures obtained from Zfp423-GFP mice.

The overall goal was to identify genes differentially expressed between adipogenic GFP+ firboblasts and non-adipogenic GFP- fibroblasts from either inguinal or epididymal fat stromal vascular cultures obtained from Zfp423-GFP mice. Adipose stromal vascular cultures were obtained from inguinal or epididymal fat of 6-8 week-old male Zfp423-GFP mice. GFP+ and GFP- fibroblasts were sorted from fat stromal vascular cultures and then returned to culture. Subconfluent cultures of GFP+ and GFP- cells were compared in triplicate for Affymetrix analysis.

Project description:Chronic low-grade visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a hallmark of metabolic syndrome in obesity. Here, we demonstrate that a subpopulation of adipose tissue perivascular (PDGFRb+) cells, termed “fibro-inflammatory progenitors” (FIPs), activate pro-inflammatory signaling cascades shortly after the onset of high-fat diet feeding of mice and regulate pro-inflammatory macrophage accumulation in WAT in a TLR4-dependent manner. FIPs activation in obesity is mediated by the downregulation of ZFP423, identified here as a transcriptional co-regulator of NFkB. Biochemical analysis of ZFP423-protein complexes and ChIP-seq analysis reveal that ZFP423 suppresses the DNA-binding capacity of the p65 subunit of NFkB by inducing a p300 to NuRD co-regulator switch. Doxycycline-inducible expression of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells suppresses inflammatory signaling in FIPs and attenuates metabolic inflammation of visceral WAT in obesity. Inducible inactivation of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells increases FIP activity, exacerbates adipose macrophage accrual, and promotes WAT dysfunction. These studies implicate perivascular mesenchymal cells as important regulators of chronic adipose tissue inflammation in obesity and identify ZFP423 as a transcriptional break on NFkB signaling.

Project description:Chronic low-grade visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a hallmark of metabolic syndrome in obesity. Here, we demonstrate that a specific subpopulation of adipose tissue perivascular (PDGFRb+) stromal cells, termed “fibro-inflammatory progenitors” (FIPs), activate pro-inflammatory signaling cascades shortly after the onset of high-fat diet feeding of mice and control the accumulation of pro-inflammatory macrophages in WAT. The activation of FIPs is mediated by the downregulation of ZFP423, identified here as a transcriptional co-regulator of NFkB. Biochemical analysis of ZFP423-protein complexes and ChIP-seq analysis reveal that ZFP423 suppresses the DNA-binding capacity of the p65 subunit of NFkB by inducing a co-regulator switch. Doxycycline-inducible expression of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells suppresses inflammatory signaling in FIPs and attenuates macrophage accumulation within visceral WAT of obese mice. Conversely, inducible inactivation of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells increases FIP activity, exacerbates adipose macrophage accrual, and promotes WAT dysfunction in obese mice. These studies implicate mural cells as sentinels and gatekeepers of adipose tissue inflammation in obesity.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue can expend large amounts of energy and thus increasing its amount or activity is a promising therapeutic approach to combat metabolic disease. In humans, major deposits of brown fat cells are found intimately associated with large blood vessels, corresponding to perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). However, the cellular origins of PVAT are poorly understood. We applied single cell transcriptomic analyses, ex vivo adipogenesis assays, and genetic fate mapping to determine the identity of perivascular adipocyte progenitors. In mice, we found that thoracic PVAT develops from a fibroblastic lineage, consisting of progenitor cells (Pdgfra+; Ly6a+; Pparg-) and preadipocytes (Pdgfra+; Ly6a+; Pparg+). Progenitor and preadipocyte cells in PVAT shared transcriptional similarity with analogous cell types in white adipose tissue, pointing towards a conserved hierarchical structure of adipose lineage cells. Interestingly, the aortic adventitia of adult animals contained a novel population of adipogenic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) (Myh11+; Pdgfra-; Pparg+) that contributed to perivascular adipocyte formation. Similarly, human PVAT contained presumptive fibroblastic and SMC-like adipocyte progenitors, as revealed by single nucleus RNAseq. Taken together, these studies define distinct populations of progenitor cells for thermogenic PVAT, providing a foundation for developing strategies to augment brown fat activity

Project description:Inherent depot- and age-dependent preadipocyte characteristics may contribute to age-related fat redistribution. Both aging and depot origin affect preadipocyte replication and adipogenesis. To define responsible mechanisms, we analyzed genome-wide expression profiles in epididymal (E) and perirenal (P) preadipocytes cultured from young (3 month) and old (30m) rats. Differences between depots were distinct from and more dramatic than those that occur with aging. Experiment Overall Design: Preadipocytes were isolated from perirenal and epididymal fat depots of 3 young (3 month) and 3 old (30 month) Brown Norway rats for a total of 12 samples from 6 different animals.
