Cardiolipin Synthesis Governs Systemic Energy Homeostasis through Thermogenic Fat Mitochondria

ABSTRACT: Here we show that synthesis of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin is an indispensable driver of thermogenic fat function. Cardiolipin biosynthesis is robustly induced in brown and beige adipose upon cold exposure. Mimicking this response by overexpressing cardiolipin synthase (Crls1) enhances energy consumption in mouse and human adipocytes. Crls1 deficiency diminishes mitochondrial uncoupling in brown and beige adipocytes and elicits a nuclear transcriptional response through ER stress-mediated retrograde communication. Cardiolipin depletion in brown and beige fat abolishes adipose thermogenesis and glucose uptake and renders animals strikingly insulin resistant. We further identify a rare human CRLS1 variant associated with insulin resistance and show that adipose CRLS1 levels positively correlate with insulin sensitivity. Thus, adipose cardiolipin is a powerful regulator of organismal energy homeostasis through thermogenic fat bioenergetics.

BAF60a deficiency uncouples chromatin accessibility and cold sensitivity from white fat browning

Project description:Brown and beige fat share a remarkably similar transcriptional program that supports fuel oxidation and thermogenesis. The chromatin-remodeling machinery that governs genome accessibility and renders adipocytes poised for thermogenic activation remains elusive. Here we found that BAF60a, a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes, serves an indispensible role in cold-induced thermogenesis in brown fat. BAF60a maintains chromatin accessibility for key thermogenic genes in close proximity to PPARg and EBF2 binding sites. Surprisingly, fat-specific BAF60a inactivation triggers more pronounced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue that is linked to induction of MC2R, a receptor for the pituitary hormone ACTH. Elevated MC2R expression sensitizes adipocytes and BAF60a-deficient adipose tissue to thermogenic activation in response to ACTH stimulation. These observations reveal an unexpected dichotomous role of BAF60a-mediated chromatin remodeling in transcriptional control of brown and beige gene programs and illustrate a pituitary-adipose signaling axis in the control of thermogenesis.

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.

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.

Cold induces a -adrenergicindependent thermogenic gene program in subcutaneous adipose tissue

Project description:Classic brown fat and inducible beige fat both dissipate chemical energy in the form of heat through the actions of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1. This nonshivering thermogenesis is crucial for mammals as a defense against cold and obesity/diabetes. Cold is known to act indirectly through the sympathetic nervous systems and -adrenergic signaling, but here we report that cold temperature can directly activate a thermogenic gene program in adipocytes independent of -adrenergic signaling.

ZFP423 Controls EBF2 Co-activator Recruitment and PPARgamma Occupancy to Determine the Thermogenic Plasticity of Adipocytes_ChIP-seq

Project description:Energy-storing white adipocytes maintain their identity by suppressing the gene program defining energy-burning thermogenic brown/beige adipocytes. Here, we reveal that the protein-protein interaction between the transcriptional co-regulator ZFP423 and brown/beige cell determination factor, EBF2, is essential for restraining the thermogenic phenotype of white adipose tissue (WAT). Disruption of the ZFP423-EBF2 protein interaction through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing triggers widespread “browning” of WAT in adult mice. Mechanistically, adipocyte Zfp423 deficiency induces an EBF2 NuRD-to-BAF co-regulator switch and a shift in PPARgamma occupancy to thermogenic genes. This shift in PPARgamma occupancy increases the anti-diabetic efficacy of the PPARgamma agonist rosiglitazone in obesity while diminishing the unwanted weight-gaining effect of the drug. These data indicate that ZFP423 controls EBF2 co-activator recruitment and PPARgamma occupancy to determine the thermogenic plasticity of adipocytes and raise the concept of targeting transcriptional brakes in adipocyte gene expression as a therapeutic strategy to induce thermogenic adipocyte biogenesis in obesity.

NFIA in adipocytes reciprocally regulates mitochondrial and inflammatory gene program to improve glucose homeostasis [flox ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Adipose tissue is central to regulation of systemic energy homeostasis. Adaptive thermogenesis in brown and beige adipocytes, which relies on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, dissipates energy to counteract obesity. On the other hand, chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Here we show that nuclear factor I-A (NFIA), a transcriptional regulator of brown and beige adipocytes, improves systemic glucose homeostasis via up-regulation of oxidative phosphorylation and reciprocal down-regulation of inflammation. Mice with transgenic expression of NFIA in adipocytes exhibited improved glucose tolerance, increased energy expenditure and limited weight gain on high fat diet. NFIA coordinately up-regulate genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation as well as a battery of brown-fat-specific genes through enhancer activation that involves facilitated genomic binding of PPARγ. In contrast, NFIA in adipocytes, but not in macrophages, down-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokine genes to ameliorate adipose tissue inflammation in vivo. NFIA binds to enhancer/promoter region of Ccl2 gene that encodes pro-inflammatory cytokine MCP-1, to down-regulate its transcription. NFIA expression and CCL2 expression was negatively correlated in human adipose tissue. These results indicate that NFIA in adipocytes reciprocally regulate mitochondrial and inflammatory gene program to improve systemic glucose homeostasis.
