Effect of deletion of carnitine palmitoyltransferase2 on interscapular BAT gene expression upon adrenergic stimulation in thermoneutral acclimatized mice

ABSTRACT: Ambient temperature affects energy intake and expenditure to maintain homeostasis in a continuously fluctuating environment. Here, mice with an adipose-specific defect in fatty acid oxidation (Cpt2A-/-) were subjected to varying temperature to determine the role of adipose bioenergetics to environmental adaptation. Cpt2A-/- brown adipose tissue (BAT) failed to induce thermogenic genes such as Ucp1 and Pgc1Î± in response to adrenergic stimulation, which is exacerbated by increasing temperature. Thermoneutrality induced a mitochondrial DNA stress in Cpt2A-/- BAT that resulted in a loss of classical interscapular BAT, but did not affect body weight gain or glucose tolerance in response to a high-fat diet. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse interscapular brown adipose tissue from mice acclimatized to thermoneutrality (30C) with and without beta3adrenergic stimulation with and without the deletion of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (i.e., adipose unable to beta-oxidize long chain fatty acids in mitochondria). WildType and Cpt2A KnockOut mice were treated either with or without beta3adrenergic stimulation, thus four classes. Three biologic replicates were compared per class, thus twelve mice.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that dissipates stored energy as heat to maintain body temperature in infants and small mammals. This process may also provide protection from development of diet-induced obesity. We found that the bioactive lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) markedly decreases differentiation of cultured primary brown adipocyte precursors, while potent selective inhibitors of the LPA-generating enzyme autotaxin (ATX) promote differentiation. Transgenic mice overexpressing ATX exhibited reduced expression of BAT-related genes in peripheral white adipose tissue and accumulated significantly more fat than wild-type controls when fed a high fat diet. Our results indicate that ATX and its product LPA are physiologically relevant negative regulators of brown fat adipogenesis and suggest that a decrease in peripheral brown adipose tissue results in increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity in mice. Primary BAT cell cultures were established as previously reported with some minor modifications (Cannon B., 2001; NÃ©chad M., 1983). Four- to 6-week-old mice were euthanized under aseptic conditions and interscapular BAT (IBAT) dissected, finely minced in digestion buffer containing 123 mM NaCl, 5mM HCl, 1.3 mM CaCl2, 5mM glucose, 1.5% (w/v) crude bovine serum albumin fraction V, 100 mM HEPES, 0.2% collagenase type II (Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO), pH 7.4, and digested in 10 ml of the same buffer for 30 min at 37Â°C. The supernatant obtained was then filtered using a 250 Âµm nylon mesh and kept in ice for 15 minutes to allow fat droplets and mature cells to float. The resulting infranatant was filtered through a 30 Âµm nylon mesh to enrich the fraction with precursor cells and centrifuged at 700g for 10 min. The pellet obtained was washed once in warm DMEM and resuspended in DMEM medium containing 10% newborn calf serum, 10 mM HEPES, 4mM glutamine, 25 Âµg/ml sodium ascorbate (Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO)., 100U/ml penicillin and 100mg/ml streptomycin. Cells were seeded onto 35mm dish plates. Insulin treatment was started on day 1 at 50 nM and the concentration increased to 100 nM at day 5 and 200 nM at day 7. Differentiated/confluent cells were collected for biochemical analysis (~day 9). To identify genes regulated by ATX and LPA signaling, 9 DIV primary BAT cultures were treated with the vehicle (DMSO), specific ATX inhibitor HA155 (2.5ÂµM), or LPA (1-Oleoly-LPA, 5ÂµM) (Avanti Polar Lipids, AL, USA) during differentiation. Treatment of the BAT cultures did not affect confluence or markers of proliferation. RNA was extracted from three cultures per condition using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) as described previously (Blalock EM., 2003).
