Project description:Signaling pathways that promote adipose tissue thermogenesis are well characterized, but the limiters of energy expenditure are largely unknown. Here, we show that ablation of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 improves insulin sensitivity, protects against diet-induced obesity, and elicits the browning of white adipose tissue. Mechanistic studies define bone marrow cells as the source of the IL-10 signal and adipocytes as the target cell type mediating these effects. IL-10 receptor alpha is highly enriched in mature adipocytes and is induced in response to differentiation, obesity, and aging. Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq), ChIP-seq, and RNA-seq reveal that IL-10 represses the transcription of thermogenic genes in adipocytes by altering chromatin accessibility and inhibiting ATF and C/EBP? recruitment to key enhancer regions. These findings expand our understanding of the relationship between inflammatory signaling pathways and adipose tissue function and provide insight into the physiological control of thermogenesis that could inform future therapy.

Project description:The goal of this study was to define the functional role of adipocyte-specific expression of the RNA binding protein Human antigen R (HuR). Mice with an adipocyte-specific deletion of HuR (Adipo-HuR-/- ) were generated by crossing HuR floxed (HuRfl/fl ) mice with mice expressing adiponectin-driven cre-recombinase (Adipoq-cre). Our results show that Adipo-HuR-/- mice display a lean phenotype compared to wild-type littermate controls. HuR deletion results in a diet-independent reduction in percent body fat composition along with an increase in energy expenditure. Functionally, Adipo-HuR-/- mice show a significant impairment in acute adaptive thermogenesis (six hours at 4°C), but uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) protein expression in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is unchanged compared to control. Pharmacological inhibition of HuR also results in a marked decline in core body temperature following acute cold challenge independent of UCP1 protein expression. Among the 588 HuR-dependent genes in BAT identified by RNA-seq analysis, gene ontology analysis shows a significant enrichment in mediators of calcium transport and signalling, almost all of which are decreased in Adipo-HuR-/- mice compared to control. In conclusion, adipocyte expression of HuR plays a central role in metabolic homoeostasis and mediates UCP1-independent thermogenesis in BAT, potentially through post-transcriptional control of intracellular calcium transport.Abbreviations: Adipo-HuR-/-: Adipocyte-specific HuR deletion mice; BAT: Brown adipose tissue; HuR: Human antigen R; UCP1: Uncoupling protein 1.

Project description:Apelin is a bioactive peptide involved in the control of energy metabolism. In the hypothalamus, chronic exposure to high levels of apelin is associated with an increase in hepatic glucose production, and then contributes to the onset of type 2 diabetes. However, the molecular mechanisms behind deleterious effects of chronic apelin in the brain and consequences on energy expenditure and thermogenesis are currently unknown. We aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of apelin in normal mice on hypothalamic inflammatory gene expression, energy expenditure, thermogenesis and brown adipose tissue functions. We have shown that chronic icv infusion of apelin increases the expression of pro-inflammatory factors in the hypothalamus associated with an increase in plasma interleukin-1 beta. In parallel, mice infused with icv apelin exhibit a significant lower energy expenditure coupled to a decrease in PGC1alpha, PRDM16 and UCP1 expression in brown adipose tissue which could explain the alteration of thermogenesis in these mice. These data provide compelling evidence that central apelin contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes by altering energy expenditure, thermogenesis and fat browning.

Project description:ContextThyroid hormone (TH) is crucial for the adaptation to cold.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of hyperthyroidism on resting energy expenditure (REE), cold-induced thermogenesis (CIT) and changes in body composition and weight.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study at the endocrine outpatient clinic of a tertiary referral center. Eighteen patients with overt hyperthyroidism were included. We measured REE during hyperthyroidism, after restoring euthyroid TH levels and after 3 months of normal thyroid function. In 14 of the 18 patients, energy expenditure (EE) was measured before and after a mild cold exposure of 2 hours and CIT was the difference between EEcold and EEwarm. Skin temperatures at 8 positions were recorded during the study visits. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorption.ResultsFree thyroxine (fT4) and free triiodothyronine (fT3) decreased significantly over time (fT4, P = .0003; fT3, P = .0001). REE corrected for lean body mass (LBM) decreased from 42 ± 6.7 kcal/24 hour/kg LBM in the hyperthyroid to 33 ± 4.4 kcal/24 hour/kg LBM (-21%, P < .0001 vs hyperthyroid) in the euthyroid state and 3 months later to 33 ± 5.2 kcal/24 hour/kg LBM (-21%, P = .0022 vs hyperthyroid, overall P < .0001). fT4 (P = .0001) and fT3 (P < 0.0001) were predictors of REE. CIT did not change from the hyperthyroid to the euthyroid state (P = .96). Hyperthyroidism led to increased skin temperature at warm ambient conditions but did not alter core body temperature, nor skin temperature after cold exposure. Weight regain and body composition were not influenced by REE and CIT during the hyperthyroid state.ConclusionCIT is not increased in patients with overt hyperthyroidism.

Project description:Thermogenic brown and beige adipose tissues dissipate chemical energy as heat, and their thermogenic activities can combat obesity and diabetes. Herein the functional adaptations to cold of brown and beige adipose depots are examined using quantitative mitochondrial proteomics. We identify arginine/creatine metabolism as a beige adipose signature and demonstrate that creatine enhances respiration in beige-fat mitochondria when ADP is limiting. In murine beige fat, cold exposure stimulates mitochondrial creatine kinase activity and induces coordinated expression of genes associated with creatine metabolism. Pharmacological reduction of creatine levels decreases whole-body energy expenditure after administration of a ?3-agonist and reduces beige and brown adipose metabolic rate. Genes of creatine metabolism are compensatorily induced when UCP1-dependent thermogenesis is ablated, and creatine reduction in Ucp1-deficient mice reduces core body temperature. These findings link a futile cycle of creatine metabolism to adipose tissue energy expenditure and thermal homeostasis. PAPERCLIP.
