Project description:Bats are remarkably long-lived for their size with many species living more than 20-40 years, suggesting that they possess efficient anti-aging and anti-cancer defenses. Here we investigated requirements for malignant transformation in primary bat fibroblasts in four bat species - little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), cave nectar bat (Eonycteris spelaea) and Jamaican fruit bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) – spanning the bat evolutionary tree and including the longest-lived genera. We show that bat fibroblasts do not undergo replicative senescence and express active telomerase. Bat cells displayed attenuated stress induced premature senescence with a dampened secretory phenotype. Unexpectedly, we discovered that bat cells could be readily transformed by only two oncogenic perturbations or “hits”: inactivation of either p53 or pRb and activation of oncogenic RASV12. This was surprising because other long-lived mammalian species require up to five hits for malignant transformation. Additionally, bat fibroblasts exhibited increased p53 and MDM2 transcript levels, and elevated p53-dependent apoptosis. The little brown bat showed a genomic duplication of the p53 gene. We hypothesize that bats evolved enhanced p53 activity through gene duplications and transcriptional upregulation as an additional anti-cancer strategy, similar to elephants. In summary, active telomerase and the small number of oncogenic hits sufficient to malignantly transform bat cells suggest that in vivo bats rely heavily on non-cell autonomous mechanisms of tumor suppression.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that protects animals against hypothermia and obesity. BAT derives from the multipotent paraxial mesoderm; however, the identity of embryonic brown fat progenitor cells and regulators of adipogenic commitment are unclear. We identified the transcription factor GATA6 as a selective marker of brown adipogenic progenitor cells. Deletion of Gata6 in the brown fat lineage resulted in a striking loss of BAT. To gain insight into the mechanism by which GATA6 supports BAT development, we performed ChIP-seq for GATA6 from the BAT of embryonic day 15.5 embryos.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for non-shivering thermogenesis making it a promising therapeutical strategy to combat obesity and metabolic disease. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying brown fat formation remain incompletely understood. Here, we found SOX4 is required for BAT development and thermogenic program. Depletion of SOX4 in BAT progenitors (Sox4-MKO) or brown adipocytes (Sox4-BKO) resulted in whitened BAT and hypothermia upon acute cold exposure. The reduced thermogenic capacity observed in Sox4-MKO mice increases their susceptibility to diet-induced obesity. Overexpression of SOX4 enhances BAT thermogenesis counteracting diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, SOX4 activates transcription of EBF2 which determines brown fat fate. Moreover, phosphorylation of SOX4 at S235 by PKA facilitates its nuclear translocation and EBF2 transcription. Further, SOX4 cooperates with EBF2 to activate transcriptional programs governing thermogenic gene expression. These results demonstrate that SOX4 serves as an upstream regulator of EBF2 providing valuable insights into BAT development and thermogenic function maintenance.
