A Brain-Melanocortin-Vagus axis mediates adipose tissue expansion independently of energy intake.

ABSTRACT: The melanocortin system is a brain circuit that influences energy balance by regulating energy intake and expenditure. In addition, the brain-melanocortin system controls adipose tissue metabolism to optimize fuel mobilization and storage. Specifically, increased brain-melanocortin signaling or negative energy balance promotes lipid mobilization by increasing Sympathetic Nervous input to adipose tissue. In contrast, calorie-independent mechanisms favoring energy storage are less understood. Here we demonstrate that obesogenic signals, including reduction of brain-melanocortin signaling or high-fat feeding, actively promote fat mass gain independently of caloric intake via efferent nerve fibers conveyed by the common hepatic branch of the vagus nerve. These signals promote adipose tissue expansion by activating lipogenic program and adipocyte and endothelial cell proliferation independently of insulin action or the sympathetic tone to adipose tissue. These data reveal a novel physiological mechanism whereby the brain controls energy stores that may contribute to increased susceptibility to obesity.

Neuro-mesenchyme units control ILC2 and obesity via a brain-adipose circuit [GAT ILC2s]

Project description:Signals from sympathetic neurons and immune cells regulate adipocytes contributing to fat tissue biology. Interactions between the nervous and immune systems have recently emerged as major regulators of host defence and inflammation1-4. Nevertheless, whether neuronal and immune cells cooperate in brain-body axes to orchestrate metabolism and obesity remains elusive. Here we report a novel neuro-mesenchyme unit that controls group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), adipose tissue physiology, metabolism and obesity via a brain-adipose circuit. We found that sympathetic nerve terminals act on neighbouring adipose mesenchymal cells via the beta-2 adrenergic receptor to control the expression of the glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and the activity of ILC2 in gonadal fat. Accordingly, ILC2-autonomous manipulation of the GDNF receptor machinery led to altered ILC2 function, energy expenditure, insulin resistance and propensity to obesity. Retrograde tracing, chemical, surgical and chemogenetic manipulations identified a sympathetic aorticorenal circuit that modulates gonadal fat ILC2 and connects to high-order brain areas, including the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). Our work decodes a neuro-mesenchymal unit that translates long-range neuronal circuitry cues into adipose-resident ILC2 function, shaping the host metabolism and obesity.

Rat white adipose tissue DIGE-LC-MSMS

Project description:White adipose tissue is a central place to energy storage and a major endocrine organ. However, adipose molecular mechanisms have been poorly studied during prolonged fasting. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to decipher proteomic regulations in rat adipose tissue during phase 2 (lipid mobilization) and phase 3 (protein catabolism) of prolonged fasting compared to the fed state. Specific responses reflecting adipose tissue inflammation, increased fibrinolysis and a possible protein catabolism-related energy saving mechanism were recorded during phase 3. Differences between internal and subcutaneous adipose tissues were essentially related to lipid metabolism, the response to oxidative stress and energy production. These data thus provide a molecular basis of adipose tissue responses according to the fasting stage.

Mammary ductal epithelium controls cold-induced adipocyte thermogenic program

Project description:Sympathetic activation during cold exposure increases adipocyte thermogenesis via the expression of mitochondrial protein uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)1. The propensity of adipocytes to express UCP1 is under a critical influence of the adipose microenvironment and varies between sexes and among various fat depots2-7. Here, we report that cold-induced adipocyte UCP1 expression in a female mouse subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) is regulated by mammary gland ductal epithelial cells in the adipose niche. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) shows that glandular luminal epithelium subtypes express transcripts that encode secretory factors in controlling adipocyte UCP1 expression under cold conditions. We term luminal epithelium secretory factors as “mammokines”. Using whole-tissue immunofluorescence 3D visualization, we reveal previously undescribed sympathetic nerve-ductal points of contact. We show sympathetic nerve-activated mammary ducts limit adipocyte UCP1 expression via lipocalin 2. Both in vivo and ex vivo ablation of mammary ductal epithelium enhances cold-induced scWAT adipocyte thermogenic gene program. Since the mammary duct network extends throughout most scWATs in female mice, females show markedly less scWAT UCP1 expression, fat oxidation, energy expenditure, and subcutaneous fat mass loss compared to male mice, implicating sex-specific roles of mammokines in adipose thermogenesis. These results show a previously uncharacterized role of sympathetic nerve-activated glandular epithelium in adipocyte UCP1 expression and suggest an evolutionary function of mammary duct luminal cells in defending glandular adiposity during cold exposure. Overall, our findings highlight mammary gland epithelium as a highly active metabolic cell type and implicate a broader role of mammokines in controlling female adipose metabolism, mammary gland physiology, and systemic energy homeostasis.

RNA-seq of adipose tissue from pigs divergent in feed efficiency reveals variations in adipose growth, extracellular matrix formation, lipid metabolism and immune response

Project description:Feed efficiency (FE) is an indicator of efficiency in converting energy, attained from macronutrient ingestion, into tissue. Adipose tissue, besides being a master regulator of systemic lipid storage, is also an active endocrine organ that communicates with skeletal muscle, liver and brain to influence appetite, lipid & glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis. Adipose tissue is hypothesised to play a vital part in regulation of FE. The objective of the present study was to sequence the subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptome in FE-divergent pigs (n=16) and identify relevant biological processes underpinning observed differences in FE.

Effect of chronic restraint stress or repeated activation of PVN neurons responding to restraint stress on gene expression of white adipose tissues (iWAT and eWAT) during adipogenesis of mice

Project description:Comorbid depression and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with more severe symptoms, higher suicide risk and poorer prognosis than those with either disease alone. However, the mechanisms underlying this comorbidity remain unclear. Here, we describe a brain–sympathetic nerve–adipose circuit originating in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) that is crucial for the depressive-like behaviours and insulin resistance induced by chronic restraint stress. A subset of PVN neurons that were traced from WAT and activated under restraint stress, and chemogenetic manipulations demonstrated the sufficiency and necessity of those PVN neurons for changes in sympathetic innervation of adipose tissue and subsequent depression and insulin resistance induced by chronic stress. We further identify candidate adipokines for the development of depression and insulin resistance, and clarify the molecular mechanism by which the dynamics of sympathetic tone are translated into changes in the expression of candidate adipokines.

Selective molecular responses of rat white adipose tissue according to the fasting stage

Project description:Prolonged fasting-induced changes in rat white adipose tissue (epidydimal) transcriptome White adipose tissue is a central place to energy storage and a major endocrine organ. However, adipose molecular mechanisms have been poorly studied during prolonged fasting. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to decipher transcriptomic regulations in rat adipose tissue during phase 2 (lipid mobilization) and phase 3 (protein catabolism) of prolonged fasting compared to the fed state. We describe a regulatory transcriptional program in epididymal adipose tissue in line with lipogenesis repression during both phases, and that would favor lipolysis during phase 2 and repress it during phase 3. Such regulations notably involve selective (i.e. phase-dependent) changes in gene expression levels of lipases, lipid droplet-associated factors, and the proteins involved in cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent regulation of lipolysis. The mRNA levels of adipose-secreted factors were globally consistent with the repression of insulin signalling during prolonged fasting. Regulations of leptin and adiponectin levels could be related to their respective role in triggering refeeding during late fasting and controlling lipid metabolism. Specific responses reflecting adipose tissue inflammation, increased fibrinolysis and a possible protein catabolism-related energy saving mechanism were also recorded during phase 3. These data thus provide a comprehensive molecular basis of adipose tissue responses according to the fasting stage.

Next-generation sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of T1-T4 sympathetic ganglia transcriptomes from TRKC+/-, AdNTF3-Tg and their respective wild type control mice after 1 day cold exposure at 5℃

Project description:Activation of brown fat thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is important in brown/beige adipocyte thermogenesis. Here we discover a novel fat-derived “adipokine” neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NTF3) and its receptor Tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TRKC) as key regulators of SNS growth and innervation in adipose tissue. NTF3 is highly expressed in brown/beige adipocytes, and potently stimulates sympathetic neuron neurite growth. NTF3/TRKC regulates a plethora of pathways in neuronal axonal growth and elongation. Adipose tissue sympathetic innervation is significantly increased in mice with adipocyte-specific NTF3 overexpression, but profoundly reduced in mice with TRKC haploinsufficiency (TRKC+/-). Increasing NTF3 via pharmacological or genetic approach promotes beige adipocyte development, enhances cold-induced thermogenesis and protects against diet-induced obesity (DIO); whereas TRKC+/- mice or SNS TRKC deficient mice are cold intolerant and prone to DIO. Thus, NTF3 is an important fat-derived neurotrophic factor regulating SNS innervation, energy metabolism and obesity.
