Project description:Intramuscular fatty deposits, which are seen in muscular dystrophies and with aging, negatively affect muscle function. The cells of origin of adipocytes constituting these fatty deposits are mesenchymal stromal cells, fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs). We uncover a molecular fate switch, involving miR-206 and the transcription factor Runx1, that controls FAP differentiation to adipocytes. Mice deficient in miR-206 exhibit increased adipogenesis following muscle injury. Adipogenic differentiation of FAPs is abrogated by miR-206 mimics. Using a labeled microRNA (miRNA) pull-down and sequencing (LAMP-seq), we identified Runx1 as a miR-206 target, with miR-206 repressing Runx1 translation. In the absence of miR-206 in FAPs, Runx1 occupancy near transcriptional start sites of adipogenic genes and expression of these genes increase. We demonstrate that miR-206 mimicry in vivo limits intramuscular fatty infiltration. Our results provide insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms of FAP fate determination and formation of harmful fatty deposits in skeletal muscle.

Project description:Skin is the largest organ in the body and comprises several types of cells. The intercellular plasticity of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and skin adipocytes contributes to wound healing and dermal adipogenesis. Although keratinocyte activates dermal adipose tissue (dWAT) differentiation upon hair follicular cycle, regulating dWAT hyperplasia through keratinocyte reprogramming is still unknown. We used the CRISPR/Cas9 base editor to induce single nucleotide polymorphisms in Forkhead-box N1 (Foxn1) and identified the p.L19M variant that induced the formation of a thicker dWAT regardless of hair follicular cycle or wound healing. Foxn1 p.L19M activates Wnt5β through transcriptional activity. Wnt5β signaling induces the conversion of dWAT dermal fibroblasts into adipose precursor cells (APCs) and promotes APC adipocyte differentiation through keratinocyte epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and adipogenic signaling. Wnt5β is involved in the entire process of dWAT hyperplasia through APC supply and adipogenic signaling as a single factor. Foxn1 p.L19M and Wnt5β are expressed in keratinocytes, and a keratinocyte-derived adipogenic signal is critical for dermal adipogenesis. In addition, transient expression of Foxn1 p.L19M or Wnt5β using adeno-associated virus reproduced dermal adipocyte hyperplasia in mice. Considering the increasing importance of dWAT in functions such as the immune response, wound healing, hair follicle growth, and temperature control, this finding has potential applications in skin regeneration

Project description:Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were isolated from the femora and tibiae of irtTA-GBD*-TAg transgenic mice. Using cellular cloning we established skeletal progenitors with unipotent osteogenic and adipogenic properties. Previous RNA-seq analysis of more progenitor types revealed differential expression in members of the Interferon-gamma (IFNγ) signaling pathway. Treatment of adipogenic progenitors with IFNγ inhibited adipogenesis and promoted osteogenesis. RNA-seq analysis of osteogenic, adipogenic and IFNγ treated adipogenic clones revealed factors controlling the osteogenic versus adipogenic commitment of bone marrow skeletal progenitors.

Project description:Fatty infiltration, the ectopic deposition of adipose tissue within skeletal muscle, is mediated via the adipogenic differentiation of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). We used single-nuclei and single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize FAP heterogeneity in patients with fatty infiltration. We identified an MME+ FAP subpopulation which, based on ex vivo characterization as well as transplantation experiments, exhibits high adipogenic potential. MME+ FAPs are characterized by low activity of WNT, known to control adipogenic commitment, and are refractory to the inhibitory role of WNT activators. Using preclinical models for muscle damage versus fatty infiltration, we show that many MME+ FAPs undergo apoptosis during muscle regeneration and differentiate into adipocytes under pathological conditions, leading to their depletion. Finally, we utilized the varying fat infiltration levels in human hip muscles to show the depletion of MME+ FAPs in fatty infiltrated human muscle. Altogether, we have identified the dominant adipogenic FAP subpopulation in skeletal muscle.

Project description:Osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) may potentially be used in cell-based bone tissue-engineering applications to enhance the bone-forming potential of these cells. Osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation are thought to be mutually exclusive, and although several signaling pathways and cues that induce osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation, respectively, have been identified, there is no general consensus on how to optimally differentiate hMSCs into the osteogenic lineage. Some pathways have also been reported to be involved in both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, as for example, the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway, and the aim of this study was to investigate the role of cAMP/PKA signaling in differentiation of hMSCs in more detail. We show that activation of this pathway with dibutyryl-cAMP results in enhanced alkaline phosphatase expression, whereas another cAMP analog induces adipogenesis in long-term mineralization cultures. Adipogenic differentiation, induced by 8-bromo-cAMP, was accompanied by stronger PKA activity and higher expression of cAMP-responsive genes, suggesting that stronger activation correlates with adipogenic differentiation. In addition, a whole-genome expression analysis showed an increase in expression of adipogenic genes in 8-br-cAMP-treated cells. Furthermore, by means of quantitative polymerase chain reaction, we show differences in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma activation, either alone or in combination with dexamethasone, thus demonstrating differential effects of the PKA pathway, most likely depending on its mode of activation.

Project description:The transcriptional mechanisms by which temporary exposure to developmental signals instigates adipocyte differentiation are unknown. During early adipogenesis, we find transient enrichment of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein b (CEBPb), p300, mediator subunit 1, and histone H3 acetylation near genes involved in cell proliferation, development and differentiation, including the gene encoding the master regulator of adipocyte differentiation, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor g2 (PPARg2). Occupancy and enhancer function are triggered by adipogenic signals, and diminish upon their removal. GR, which is required for adipogenesis but need not be active in the mature adipocyte, transiently functions with other enhancer proteins to propagate a new program of gene expression that includes induction of PPARg2, thereby providing a memory of the earlier adipogenic signal. Thus, the conversion of preadipocyte to adipocytes involves the formation of an epigenomic transition state that is not observed in cells at the beginning or end of the differentiation process. Genomic occupancy profiled by high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) from 3T3-L1 cells during differentiation for H3K9Ac, CEBPb and GR.

Project description:While the accumulation of bone marrow adipose tissue has been positively associated with aging and high fat diet, the physiological consequences are mostly unknown. It is well established that osteogenic and adipogenic progenitors share a common developmental origin.Unfavorable microenvironmental changes may bias these cell populations towards an adipogenic fate, which in turn could negatively influence bone homeostasis. Our previously collected data from mice reveal a high plasticity of the mesenchymal osteo-adipogenic stem cell population. Therefore, we now wish to perform by RNA-seq in defined cell population with varying adipogenic commitment within this heterogeneous stem cell pool.This data is part of a pre-publication release.
