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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Identification of Zfp423-dependent genes in adult inguinal white adipocytes

Project description:We derived a model that allows for doxycycline-inducible deletion of Zfp423 in mature adipocytes of adult mice (Adiponectin-rtTA; TRE-CRE; Zfp423 loxP/loxP). In these animals deletion of Zfp423 results in a spontaneous conversion of white adipocytes into beige-like adipocytes at room temperature. The goal of this expression analysis was to 1) determine the gene programs dependent on adipocyte Zfp423 in inguinal WAT, and 2) determine the similarity between the converted beige-like cells to normal beige adipose tissue that accumulates upon cold exppsure.

Brown and beige adipose tissue regulate systemic metabolism through a metabolite interorgan signaling axis

Project description:Brown and beige adipose tissue are emerging as distinct endocrine organs. These tissues are functionally associated with skeletal muscle, adipose tissue metabolism and systemic energy expenditure, suggesting an interorgan signaling network. Using metabolomics, we identify 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid, 5-oxoproline, and β-hydroxyisobutyric acid as small molecule metabokines synthesized in browning adipocytes and secreted via monocarboxylate transporters. 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid, 5-oxoproline and β-hydroxyisobutyric acid induce a brown adipocyte-specific phenotype in white adipocytes and mitochondrial oxidative energy metabolism in skeletal myocytes both in vitro and in vivo. 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid and 5-oxoproline signal through cAMP-PKA-p38 MAPK and β-hydroxyisobutyric acid via mTOR. In humans, plasma and adipose tissue 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid, 5-oxoproline and β-hydroxyisobutyric acid concentrations correlate with markers of adipose browning and inversely associate with body mass index. These metabolites reduce adiposity, increase energy expenditure and improve glucose and insulin homeostasis in mouse models of obesity and diabetes. Our findings identify beige adipose-brown adipose-muscle physiological metabokine crosstalk.

Transcriptomic Characterization of Human Beige Adipocyte Differentiated From Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Project description:Beige adipocytes are a distinct type of thermogenic fat cells in human. Since beige adipocytes are distributed sporadically within white adipose, characterization of human beige adipocytes has long been a problem. In this study, we reported a rapid and roboust method in generating human beige adipocyte with chemically defined medium and RNA-Seq was perfomed to reveal the molecular characterization of derived human beige adipocytes.

Mouse Vascularized Adipose Spheroids: An Organotypic Model for Thermogenic Adipocytes

Project description:Adipose tissues, particularly beige and brown adipose tissue, play crucial roles in energy metabolism. Brown adipose tissues’ thermogenic capacity and the appearance of beige cells within white adipose tissue have spurred interest in their metabolic impact and therapeutic potential. Brown and beige fat cells, activated by factors like cold exposure, share mechanisms that drive non-shivering thermogenesis. Understanding their behavior requires sophisticated, yet universal in vitro models that replicate the complex microenvironment and vasculature of adipose tissues. Here we present mouse vascularized adipose spheroids of the stromal vascular microenvironment from inguinal white adipose tissue. We show that scaffold embedding improves vascular sprouting, enhances spheroid growth, and upregulates adipogenic markers. Transcriptional profiling via RNA sequencing revealed distinct metabolic pathways upregulated in our vascularized adipose spheroids, with increased expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and thermogenesis. Functional assessment demonstrated increased oxygen consumption in vascularized adipose spheroids compared to 2D cultures, which was further enhanced by β-adrenergic receptor stimulation via isoproterenol correlating with elevated β-adrenergic receptor expression. Moreover, stimulation with the naturally occurring adipokine, FGF21, induced Ucp1 mRNA expression in the vascularized adipose spheroids. In conclusion, our vascularized inguinal white adipose tissue spheroids provide a physiologically relevant platform to study how the stromal vascular microenvironment shapes adipocyte responses and influence activated thermogenesis in beige adipocytes.

Naa10p Inhibits Beige Adipocyte-mediated Thermogenesis through N-α-acetylation of Pgc1α

Project description:We reported that both conventional and adipose-specific Naa10p deletions in mice result in increased energy expenditure, thermogenesis, beige adipocyte differentiation and activation. Mechanistically, Naa10p acetylates the N-terminus of Pgc1α and prevents it from interacting with Ppar to activate key genes, such as Ucp1, involved in beige adipocyte function. We used microarrays to profile the gene expression changes by Naa10p KO in inguinal white adipose tissues (iWATs) derived from mice fed with high fat diet for 15 weeks.

The Transcription Factor ATF7 Controls Adipocyte Differentiation and Thermogenic Gene Programming

Project description:The adipocytes functions as a central organ in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. Factors which contribute to the adipocyte differentiation and function would be the promising targets to combat the obesity and associated metabolic disorders. The activating transcription factor 7 (ATF7), a stress-responsive chromatin regulator, has recently been shown to be involved in the energy metabolism; however, the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we show that ATF7 is required for adipocyte differentiation and it interacts with histone dimethyltransferase G9a in adipocyte to repress the interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression, which suppresses adipogenesis. Ablation of ATF7 promotes the beige biogenesis and browning of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT). ATF7 binds to the transcription regulatory regions of Ucp1 gene, and silences it by maintaining the histone H3K9 dimethylation level. These results establish the multifunction of ATF7 in adipocyte and provide molecular insights into the epigenetic control of development and function of adipose tissues. We used microarrays to identify the differentatial expression genes in the inguinal white adipose tissue of ATF7 KO mice.

Transcriptome analysis in adipose tissues of BAF60a knockout mice

Project description:Brown and beige fat share a remarkably similar transcriptional program that supports fuel oxidation and thermogenesis. The chromatin-remodeling machinery that governs genome accessibility and renders adipocytes poised for thermogenic activation remains elusive. BAF60a serves an indispensable role in cold-induced thermogenesis in brown fat. Surprisingly, fat-specific BAF60a inactivation triggers more pronounced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue. These results suggest a dichotomous role of BAF60a-mediated chromatin remodeling in transcriptional control of brown and beige gene programs. To elucidate the mechanism, we performed microarray annalysis in inguinal white adipose tissues from mice after chronic cold exposure.

Differential junction usage in paired RNA-seq of white and beige differentiated adipocytes from six human subjects

Project description:Background: The beneficial effect of thermogenic adipocytes in maintaining body weight and protecting against metabolic disorders has raised interest in understanding the regulatory mechanisms defining white and beige adipocyte identity. Although alternative splicing has been shown to propagate adipose browning signals in mice, this has yet to be thoroughly investigated in human adipocytes. Methods: We performed parallel white and beige adipogenic differentiation using primary adipose stem cells from 6 unrelated healthy subjects, and assessed differential gene and isoform expression in mature adipocytes by RNA sequencing. Results: We find 693 exon junctions with robust differential usage between white and beige adipocytes in all 6 subjects, mapping to 507 genes. Importantly, only 8% of these differentially spliced genes are also differentially expressed, indicating that alternative splicing constitutes an additional layer of gene expression regulation during beige adipocyte adipogenic differentiation. Functional classification of alternative isoforms point to a gain of function for key thermogenic regulators such as PPARG, CITED1 and PEMT. We find that a large majority of the splice variants arise from differential usage of transcription start sites (TSSs), with beige-specific TSSs being enriched for PPARγ and MED1 binding compared to white-specific TSSs. Finally, we validate beige specific isoform expression at the protein level for two thermogenic regulators, PPARγ and PEMT. Discussion: These results indicate that differential isoform expression through alternative TSS usage is an important regulatory mechanism for human adipocyte thermogenic specification.
