Dual CBS and MPST gene knockdown induces inflammation and impairs adipogenesis in human adipocytes

ABSTRACT: Recents studies in mice and humans demonstrated the relevance of H2S-synthesising enzymes (such as CTH, CBS and MPST) in adipose tissue physiology and preadipocyte differentiation into adipocytes. Here, we aimed to investigate the combined role of CTH, CBS and MPST in the preservation of adipocyte protein persulfidation and adipogenesis. Joint CTH, CBS and MPST gene knockdown was achieved treating fully human adipocytes with siRNAs against these transcripts (siRNA_MIX). Adipocyte protein persulfidation was analyzed by a mass spectrometry label-free quantitative approach coupled with a dimedone-switch method for protein labeling and purification. The proteomic analysis quantified 216 proteins with statistically different persulfidation levels in KD cells compared to control adipocytes. In fully differentiated adipocytes, CBS and MPST mRNA and protein levels were abundant, whereas CTH expression was very low. Of note, siRNA_MIX administration resulted in a significant decrease in CBS and MPST expression, without impacting on CTH. Dual CBS and MPST gene knockdown resulted in decreased expression of relevant genes for adipocyte biology, including adipogenesis, mitochondrial biogenesis and lipogenesis, but increased proinflammatory- and senescence-related genes, in parallel to a significant disruption in adipocyte protein persulfidation pattern. While among less persulfidated proteins, we identified several relevant proteins for adipocyte adipogenesis and function, among the most persulfidated, key mediators of adipocyte inflammation and dysfunction, but also some proteins that might have a positive role of adipogenesis were found. In conclusion, current study indicates that joint knockdown of CBS and MPST (but not CTH) in adipocytes impairs adipogenesis and promotes inflammation, possibly by disrupting the pattern of protein persulfidation in these cells, and suggesting that these enzymes were required for the functional maintenance of adipocytes.

Project description:Aims: Adipocytes are critical cornerstones of energy metabolism. While obesity-induced adipocyte dysfunction is associated with insulin resistance and systemic metabolic disturbances, adipogenesis, the formation of new adipocytes and healthy adipose tissue expansion are associated with metabolic benefits. Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing adipogenesis is of great clinical potential to efficiently restore metabolic health in obesity. Here we investigate the role of Heart and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 2 (HAND2) in adipogenesis. Methods: Human white adipose tissue (WAT) were collected in a cross-sectional study of 318 individuals. In vitro, for mechanistic experiments we used primary adipocytes from human and mice as well as human multipotent adipose derived stem (hMADS) cells. Gene silencing was performed using siRNA or genetic inactivation in primary adipocytes from LoxP mouse models with Cre-encoding mRNA. Adipogenesis efficiency was measured by OilRedO staining, qPCR and microarray. A combinatorial RNASeq approach was used to identify gene clusters regulated by HAND2. In vivo, we created a conditional adipocyte Hand2 deletion mouse model using Cre under control of the Adipoq promoter (HAND2AdipoqCRE). Results: We found that HAND2 is an obesity-linked white adipocyte transcription factor regulated by glucocorticoids that was required but insufficient for adipocyte differentiation in vitro. In a large cohort of humans with obesity, WAT HAND2 expression was correlated to body-mass-index (BMI). The HAND2 gene was enriched in white adipocytes compared to brown, induced early in differentiation and responded to DEX, a typical glucocorticoid receptor (GR, encoded by NR3C1) agonist. Silencing of NR3C1 in hMADS or deletion of GR in a transgenic conditional mouse model results in diminished HAND2 expression, establishing that adipocyte HAND2 is regulated by GCs via GR in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we identified gene clusters indirectly regulated by the GR-HAND2 pathway. Interestingly, silencing of HAND2 impaired adipocyte differentiation in hMADS and primary mouse adipocytes. However, a conditional adipocyte Hand2 deletion mouse model using Cre under control of the Adipoq promoter did not mirror these effects on adipose tissue differentiation, indicating that Hand2 was required at stages prior to Adipoq expression. Conclusion: In summary, our study identifies HAND2 as a novel obesity-linked adipocyte transcription factor, highlighting new mechanisms of GR-dependent adipogenesis in human and mice.
