NFIA Controls the Brown Fat Gene Program by Co-Localizing with PPARgamma at Cell-Type-Specific Enhancers (RNA)

ABSTRACT: Brown fat dissipates energy as heat and protects against obesity. Here, we identified nuclear factor I-A (NFIA) as a novel transcriptional regulator of brown fat by a genome-wide open chromatin analysis of murine brown and white fat followed by motif analysis of brown-fat-specific open chromatin regions. NFIA and the adipogenic master regulator, PPARγ, co-localize at the brown-fat-specific enhancers. Moreover, the binding of NFIA precedes and facilitates the binding of PPARγ, leading to increased chromatin accessibility and active transcription. Introduction of NFIA into myoblasts results in brown adipocyte differentiation. Conversely, the brown fat of NFIA knockout mice displays impaired expression of the brown-fat-specific genes and reciprocal elevation of muscle genes. Finally, expression of NFIA and the brown-fat-specific genes is positively correlated in human brown fat. These results indicate that NFIA is a key transcriptional regulator of brown fat and exerts its effects by co-localizing with PPARγ at cell-type-specific enhancers.

NFIA in adipocytes reciprocally regulates mitochondrial and inflammatory gene program to improve glucose homeostasis [RNA-seq]

Project description:Adipose tissue is central to regulation of systemic energy homeostasis. Adaptive thermogenesis in brown and beige adipocytes, which relies on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, dissipates energy to counteract obesity. On the other hand, chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Here we show that nuclear factor I-A (NFIA), a transcriptional regulator of brown and beige adipocytes, improves systemic glucose homeostasis via up-regulation of oxidative phosphorylation and reciprocal down-regulation of inflammation. Mice with transgenic expression of NFIA in adipocytes exhibited improved glucose tolerance, increased energy expenditure and limited weight gain on high fat diet. NFIA coordinately up-regulate genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation as well as a battery of brown-fat-specific genes through enhancer activation that involves facilitated genomic binding of PPARγ. In contrast, NFIA in adipocytes, but not in macrophages, down-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokine genes to ameliorate adipose tissue inflammation in vivo. NFIA binds to enhancer/promoter region of Ccl2 gene that encodes pro-inflammatory cytokine MCP-1, to down-regulate its transcription. NFIA expression and CCL2 expression was negatively correlated in human adipose tissue. These results indicate that NFIA in adipocytes reciprocally regulate mitochondrial and inflammatory gene program to improve systemic glucose homeostasis.

PPARg agonists induce a white-to-brown fat conversion through stabilization of PRDM16 protein

Project description:Brown adipose tissue dissipates energy through heat and functions as a defense against cold and obesity. PPARγ ligands have been shown to induce the browning of white adipocytes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that PPARγ ligands require full agonism to induce a brown fat gene program preferentially in subcutaneous white adipose. These effects require expression of PRDM16, a factor that controls the development of classical brown fat. Depletion of PRDM16 blunts the effects of the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone on the induced brown fat gene program. Conversely, PRDM16 and rosiglitazone synergistically activate the brown fat gene program in vivo. This synergy is tightly associated with an increased accumulation of PRDM16 protein, due in large measure to an increase in the half-life of the protein in agonist treated cells. Identifying compounds that stabilize PRDM16 protein may represent a novel therapeutic pathway for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. Microarray analysis of the differentiated inguinal adipocytes expressing sh-scr or sh-PRDM16 in the presence or absence of rosiglitazone (1uM). These samples were profiled using Affymetrix mouse 430A_2 arrays, representing 2 biological replicates for each samples (8 samples in total).

NFIA differentially controls adipogenic and myogenic gene program through distinct pathways to ensure adipocyte differentiation [RNA-seq]

Project description:The transcription factor nuclear factor I-A (NFIA) is a regulator of brown adipocyte differentiation. Here we show that the most C-terminal 17 amino acid residues of NFIA (which we named pro#3 domain) is required for transcriptional activity of NFIA. Full-length NFIA, but not deletion mutant lacking pro#3 domain rescued impaired Pparg expression and adipogenesis in NFIA-knockout cells. Mechanistically, the ability of NFIA to increase chromatin accessibility is mediated through pro#3 domain. However, the deletion mutant still binds to Myod1 enhancer to decrease chromatin accessibility and represses Myod1 as well as proximally transcribed non-coding RNA called DRReRNA, leading to suppression of myogenic gene program. Therefore, the negative effect of NFIA on myogenic gene program is, at least in part, independent from the positive effect on Pparg expression and its downstream adipogenic gene program. These results uncover multiple ways of action of NFIA to ensure optimal regulation of brown adipocyte differentiation.
