EPAC1 enhances energy expenditure by selectively inducing brown and beige adipose tissue growth

ABSTRACT: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a central thermogenic organ that enhances energy expenditure (EE) and cardiometabolic health. However, regulators that specifically increase the number of thermogenic adipocytes are still an unmet need. Here, we show by phosphoproteomics that cAMP activates distinct signaling pathways in brown progenitors, with the cAMP-EPAC1 axis enhancing proliferation and differentiation of thermogenic but not white adipocytes. Further analysis revealed that a specific subpopulation of preadipocytes that are PDGFRα-positive express EPAC1. In vivo, pharmacological activation of EPAC1 enhances BAT growth and browning of white fat, leading to increased EE and reduced diet-induced adiposity. In contrast, mice lacking EPAC1 in PDGFRα-positive preadipocytes show the opposite phenotype. Importantly, EPAC1 activation enhances proliferation and differentiation of human brown adipocytes and human brown fat organoids. Interestingly, a coding variant in EPAC1 that positively correlates with BMI abolishes norepinephrine-induced proliferation of brown adipocytes. Thus, EPAC1 might be an attractive target to enhance thermogenic adipocyte number and EE to combat metabolic diseases.

Apoptotic brown adipocytes enhance energy expenditure via SLC29A1-regulated extracellular inosine

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy and promotes cardio-metabolic health4. However, loss of BAT during obesity and aging is a principal hurdle for BAT-centered obesity therapies. So far not much is known about BAT apoptosis and signals released by apoptotic brown adipocytes. Here, untargeted metabolomics demonstrated that apoptotic brown adipocytes release a specific pattern of metabolites with purine metabolites being highly enriched. Interestingly, this apoptotic secretome enhances expression of the thermogenic program in healthy adipocytes to maintain tissue functionality. This effect is mediated by the purine inosine which stimulates energy expenditure (EE) in brown adipocytes. Phosphoproteomic analysis demonstrated activation of the cAMP/protein kinase A signaling pathway and of pro-thermogenic transcription factors by inosine.

Human brown and white preadipocyes clonal dynamics predict themorgenic potential and function

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) holds therapeutic potential for obesity and metabolic syndrome via increasing energy expenditure. Both inter- and intra-individual differences contribute to heterogeneity in human BAT and potentially to differential thermogenic capacity in human populations. Here, we demonstrated the generation of brown and white preadipocyte clones from human neck fat and characterized their adipogenic differentiation and thermogenic function. Combining a UCP1 reporter system and gene expression profiling, we defined novel sets of gene signatures in human preadipocytes that could predict the thermogenic potential of mature adipocytes. Knocking out the positive UCP1 regulators, PREX1 and EDNRB, in brown preadipocytes by CRISPRs markedly abolished the high level of UCP1 in mature brown adipocytes. Finally, we showed the ability to prospectively isolate adipose progenitors with great thermogenic potential. These data provide new insights into the cellular heterogeneity in human fat and offer clinically relevant gene targets that mark thermogenically competent preadipocytes.

BCL6 reinforces brown adipocyte cellular identity to preserve thermogenic fitness

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) generates heat via uncoupled respiration, providing mammals with an evolutionary defense against environmental cold. Although the molecular pathways by which cold activates brown adipocytes are well understood, little is known about how BAT maintains its thermogenic capacity during adaptation to environmental warmth. Here, we identify the transcriptional repressor BCL6 as the switch for maintaining brown adipocyte cellular identity under warm conditions. Mice lacking BCL6 in their brown adipocytes display normal thermogenic responses when housed in a cool environment, but fail to maintain thermogenic fitness when housed under warm conditions. In a temperature-dependent manner, BCL6 suppresses apoptosis, fatty acid storage, and coupled respiration to maintain thermogenic competence in brown adipocytes. Enhancer analysis revealed that BCL6 reinforces brown-specific while opposing white-specific enhancers to maintain cellular identity. Thus, unlike other regulators, BCL6 is dispensable for differentiation and activation of brown adipocytes, but specifically required for their maintenance in warmth.

Sympathetic inputs regulate adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue through cAMP-Salt inducible kinase axis

Project description:Various physiological stimuli, such as cold environment, diet, and hormones, trigger brown adipose tissue (BAT) to produce heat through sympathetic nervous system (SNS)- and -adrenergic receptors (ARs). The AR stimulation increases intracellular cAMP levels through heterotrimeric G proteins and adenylate cyclases, but the processes by which cAMP modulates brown adipocyte function are not fully understood. Here we described that specific ablation of cAMP production in brown adipocytes led to reduced lipolysis, mitochondrial biogenesis, uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) expression, and consequently defective adaptive thermogenesis. Elevated cAMP signaling by sympathetic activation inhibited Salt-inducible kinase 2 (Sik2) through protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation in brown adipose tissue. Inhibition of SIKs enhanced Ucp1 expression in differentiated brown adipocytes and Sik2 knockout mice exhibited enhanced adaptive thermogenesis at thermoneutrality in an Ucp1-dependent manner. Taken together, our data indicate that suppressing Sik2 by PKA-mediated phosphorylation is a requisite for SNS-induced Ucp1 expression and adaptive thermogenesis in BAT, and targeting Sik2 may present a novel therapeutic strategy to ramp up BAT thermogenic activity in humans.

Bulk RNAseq of Mus musculus Protein Kinase D1 (Prkd1) knock-out adipose tissue in response to thermoneutral and cold exposure stress

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has in recent times been rediscovered in adult humans, and together with work from preclinical models, shown to have the potential of providing a variety of positive metabolic benefits. These include improved insulin sensitivity and reduced susceptibility to obesity and its various co-morbidities. As such, its continued study could offer insights to therapeutically modulate this tissue to improve metabolic health. It has been reported that adipose-specific deletion of the gene for protein kinase D1 (Prkd1) enhances mitochondrial respiration and improves whole-body glucose homeostasis. We sought to determine whether these effects were mediated specifically through brown adipocytes using a Prkd1 brown adipose tissue (BAT) Ucp1-Cre-specific knockout mouse model, Prkd1BKO. We unexpectedly observed that upon both cold exposure and beta-3-AR agonist administration, Prkd1 loss in BAT did not alter canonical thermogenic gene expression or adipocyte morphology. We took an unbiased approach to assess whether other signaling pathways were altered. RNAs from cold-exposed control and Prkd1BKO were subjected to RNA-Seq analysis. These studies revealed that myogenic gene expression is altered in Prkd1BKO BAT after both acute (8 hr) and extended (4 day) cold exposure. Given that brown adipocytes and skeletal myocytes share a common precursor cell lineage expressing myogenic factor 5 (Myf5), these data suggest that loss of Prkd1 in BAT may alter the biology of preadipocytes in this depot. The data presented herein clarify the role of Prkd1 in BAT thermogenesis and present new avenues for the further study of Prkd1 function in BAT.

The snRNAseq Analysis of JunB deficient brown adipose tissue and control samples

Project description:The coexistence of brown adipocytes with low and high thermogenic activity is a fundamental feature of brown adipose tissue (BAT) heterogeneity and plasticity. However, the mechanisms that govern thermogenic adipocyte heterogeneity and its significance in obesity and metabolic disease remain poorly understood. Here we show that in male mice, a population of JunB-enriched (JunB+) adipocytes within the BAT exhibits lower thermogenic capacity compared to high-thermogenic adipocytes. To determine if JunB plays a role in the control of brown adipocyte heterogeneity in thermogenesis, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of BAT from JunB FKO and control mice (3-month-old male mice (5/group)) housed at room temperature. Our study pointing to a potent inhibition by JunB in the conversion from low- to high-thermogenic adipocyte.

A novel GPR120-dependent pathway of control brown fat activation mediated by FGF21

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and the browning of white adipose tissue are important components of energy expenditure. An RNAseq-based analysis of the mouse BAT transcriptome led us to identify GPR120 as a gene induced by thermogenic activation. GPR120, a G protein-coupled receptor binding unsaturated long-chain fatty acids, is known to mediate some beneficial metabolic actions of polyunsaturated fatty acids. We show that pharmacological activation of GPR120 induces BAT activity and promotes the browning of white fat in mice, whereas GRP120-null mice show impaired browning in response to cold. n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids induce brown and beige adipocyte differentiation and thermogenic activation, and these effects require GPR120. GPR120 activation induces the release of fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) by brown and beige adipocytes and increases blood FGF21 levels. The effects of GPR120 activation are impaired in FGF21-null mice and cells. Thus, the lipid sensor GPR120 constitutes a novel pathway of brown fat activation and involves FGF21.

Jmjd3-mediated H3K27me3 dynamics orchestrate brown fat cell fate transition and regulate white fat plasticity

Project description:We performed ChIP-seq to chart genome-wide maps of H3K27me3 in brown preadipocytes and mature brown adipocytes. We observed a subset of brown fat-specific genes, but not common fat genes or white fat-specific genes, possess the H3K27me3 mark in preadipocytes, and this mark is erased in mature adipocytes. H3K27me3 ChIP-seq in brown preadipocytes and mature adipocytes.
