Adipocyte Precursor Cells from First Degree Relatives of type 2 diabetic patients feature changes of hsa-mir-23a-5p, -193a-5p, and -193b-5p and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 expression [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: First-degree relatives (FDRs) of type 2 diabetics (T2D) feature dysfunction of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) long before T2D onset. miRNAs have a role in adipocyte precursor cells (APC) differentiation and in adipocyte identity. Thus, impaired miRNA expression may contribute to SAT dysfunction in FDRs. In the present work, we have explored changes of miRNA expression associated with T2D family history which may affect gene expression in SAT APCs from FDRs. Small RNA-seq was performed in APCs from healthy FDRs and matched controls and omics data were validated by qPCR. Integrative analyses of APC miRNome and transcriptome from FDRs revealed down-regulated hsa-miR-23a-5p, -193a-5p and -193b-5p accompanied by up-regulated Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) gene which proved to be their direct target. The expression changes of these marks were associated with SAT adipocyte hypertrophy in FDRs. APCs from FDRs further demonstrated reduced capability to differentiate into adipocytes. Treatment with IGF2 protein decreased APC adipogenesis, while over-expression of hsa-miR-23a-5p, -193a-5p and -193b-5p enhanced adipogenesis by IGF2 targeting. Indeed, IGF2 increased the Wnt Family Member 10B gene expression in APCs. Down-regulation of the three miRNAs and IGF2 up-regulation were also observed in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes (PBLs) from FDRs. In conclusion, APCs from FDRs feature a specific miRNA/gene profile, which associates with SAT adipocyte hypertrophy and appears to contribute to impaired adipogenesis. PBL detection of this profile may help in identifying adipocyte hypertrophy in individuals at high risk of T2D.

A unique adipocyte progenitor population that promotes age-related adiposity

Project description:The average fat (adipose tissue) mass in adults increases dramatically with age, and older people often suffer from visceral obesity and related adverse metabolic disorders. Unfortunately, how aging leads to adipose accumulation is poorly understood. It is known that fat cell (adipocyte) turnover is very low in young mice, similar to that in young humans. Single-cell RNA sequencing analyses reveal that aging globally remodels APCs. Herein, we identify a novel, age-specific committed APC population as CP-A cells, existing both in mice and humans, with a global activation of proliferation and adipogenesis pathways. CP-A cells display high proliferation and adipogenesis activity, both in vivo and in vitro. M1 macrophages may regulate the remodeling of APCs and the generation of CP-A cells during aging.

Identification of metabolically distinct adipocyte progenitor cells in human adipose tissues

Project description:Adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) provide the reservoir of regenerative cells to produce new adipocytes, although their identity in humans remains elusive. Using FACS analysis, gene expression profiling and metabolic and proteomic analyses, we identified three APCs subtypes in human white adipose tissues. The APC subtypes are molecularly distinct but possess similar proliferative and adipogenic capacities. Adipocytes derived from APCs with high CD34 expression exhibit exceedingly high rates of lipid flux compared with APCs with low or no CD34 expression, while adipocytes produced from CD34- APCs display beige-like adipocyte properties and a unique endocrine profile. APCs were more abundant in gluteofemoral compared with abdominal subcutaneous and omental adipose tissues, and the distribution of APC subtypes varies between depots and in patients with type 2 diabetes. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for the heterogeneity of human white adipose tissue and a potential basis for dysregulated adipocyte function in type 2 diabetes.

Changes in CIDEA expression associate with adipocytes size and functionality in adolescent obese girls

Project description:About 20% of youth are obese with higher risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We have recently reported that in obese adolescents altered pattern of fat distribution is associated with insulin resistance and T2D. In particular, the high ratio of visceral AT depot (VAT) to abdominal subcutaneous AT depot (SAT) (high VAT/(VAT+SAT)) was associated with a metabolically unhealthy phenotype with high risk for insulin resistance and T2D. CIDEA (Cell death inducing DNA fragmentation factor-alpha-like A) is a member of CIDE family and it is not only involved in the promotion of cell death and DNA fragmentation but it also plays critical roles in the lipid droplets formation and growth. Here we demonstrated in abdominal SAT from adolescent obese girls with high VAT/(VAT+SAT) a significant reduction of CIDEA expression associated with an increase in fasting insulin, serum FFA and consequent insulin resistance. We also demonstrated a direct correlation between CIDEA expression and fraction of large cells and an inverse correlation with small adipocytes number and pre-adipocytes proliferation. After gaining weight, we observed an increase in adipocytes cell diameter but a decrease in CIDEA expression, and the transcriptomic analysis showed a gene profile linked to adipocyte dysfunction. Together, these data suggested that in subjects with high VAT/(VAT+SAT) decreased CIDEA expression is associated with an increase in adipocyte cell sizing and consecutive insulin resistance.

Keratinocyte Wnt5β promotes dermal adipogenesis by simultaneously regulating adipocyte precursor cell conversion and adipogenic signaling

Project description:Skin is the largest organ in the body and comprises several types of cells. The intercellular plasticity of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and skin adipocytes contributes to wound healing and dermal adipogenesis. Although keratinocyte activates dermal adipose tissue (dWAT) differentiation upon hair follicular cycle, regulating dWAT hyperplasia through keratinocyte reprogramming is still unknown. We used the CRISPR/Cas9 base editor to induce single nucleotide polymorphisms in Forkhead-box N1 (Foxn1) and identified the p.L19M variant that induced the formation of a thicker dWAT regardless of hair follicular cycle or wound healing. Foxn1 p.L19M activates Wnt5β through transcriptional activity. Wnt5β signaling induces the conversion of dWAT dermal fibroblasts into adipose precursor cells (APCs) and promotes APC adipocyte differentiation through keratinocyte epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and adipogenic signaling. Wnt5β is involved in the entire process of dWAT hyperplasia through APC supply and adipogenic signaling as a single factor. Foxn1 p.L19M and Wnt5β are expressed in keratinocytes, and a keratinocyte-derived adipogenic signal is critical for dermal adipogenesis. In addition, transient expression of Foxn1 p.L19M or Wnt5β using adeno-associated virus reproduced dermal adipocyte hyperplasia in mice. Considering the increasing importance of dWAT in functions such as the immune response, wound healing, hair follicle growth, and temperature control, this finding has potential applications in skin regeneration

miR-26 suppresses adipocyte progenitor differentiation and fat production by targeting Fbxl19

Project description:Purpose: Fat storage in adult mammals is a highly regulated process that involves the mobilization of adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) that differentiate to produce new adipocytes. Here we report an unexpected role for the broadly conserved miR-26 family of microRNAs (miR-26a-1, miR-26a-2, and miR-26b) as key regulators of APC differentiation. Global loss of miR-26 resulted in a dramatic expansion of adipose tissue in adult mice fed normal chow. Conversely, transgenic overexpression of miR-26a protected mice from high fat diet-induced obesity. These effects were attributable to a cell-autonomous function of miR-26 as a potent inhibitor of APC differentiation. miR-26 blocks adipogenesis, at least in part, by repressing expression of Fbxl19, a conserved miR-26 target without a previously known role in adipocyte biology that encodes a component of SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. These findings have therefore revealed a new pathway that plays a critical role in regulating adipose tissue formation in vivo and suggest new potential therapeutic targets for obesity and related disorders.

Characterization of microRNA-493-5p targets in liver cell lines

Project description:Numerous studies have described the critical role played by microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer progression and the potential of these small non-coding RNAs for diagnostic or therapeutic applications. However, the mechanisms responsible for the altered expression of miRNAs in malignant cells remain poorly understood. Herein, via epigenetic unmasking, we identified a group of miRNAs located in the imprinted delta like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 (DLK1)-maternally expressed 3 (MEG3) locus that were repressed in hepatic tumor cells. Notably, miR-493-5p epigenetic silencing was correlated with hypermethylation of the MEG3-differentially regulated region (DMR) in liver cancer cell lines and tumor tissues from patients. Experimental rescue of miR-493-5p promoted an anti-cancer response by hindering hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth in vitro and tumor progression in vivo. We found that miR-493-5p mediated part of its tumor-suppressor activity by abrogating overexpression of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and the IGF2-derived intronic oncomir miR-483-3p in HCC cells characterized by IGF2 loss of imprinting (LOI). In summary, this study describes an unknown miRNA-dependent regulatory mechanism between two distinct imprinted loci and a possible therapeutic window for liver cancer patients exhibiting IGF2-miR-483 LOI and amplification.

Integratome analysis of adipose tissues reveals abnormal epigenetic regulation of adipogenesis, inflammation, and insulin signaling in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with cardiovascular-renal complications and premature death. Although most patients with T2D are obese, not all obese individuals develop T2D. Thus, an understanding of the mechanistic relationships between obesity and T2D is crucial. In this study, using subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissues (VAT) from obese individuals with or without T2D collected during metabolic surgery, integration of the transcriptomes and methylomes of VAT and SAT with publicly available tissue-specific regulatory networks, we discovered the close relation between T2D and inflammatory response in both SAT and VAT in obese individuals, although less differences were observed respectively in transcriptome or methylome. Specifically, a HOX gene family-enriched functional epigenetic sub-network in T2D-SAT, as well as a novel such sub-network was discovered, which involved multiple genes implicated in activation of obesity-induced inflammatory response. Our integrated approach of using biosamples, multi-omic data and public databases to understand complex diseases for discovery of novel biology, including biomarkers and drug targets, can be applied to diseases other than T2D and obesity.

Estradiol cycling drives female obesogenic adipocyte hyperplasia

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) distribution is sex dependent. Adipocyte hyperplasia contributes to WAT distribution in mice driven by cues in the tissue microenvironment, with females displaying hyperplasia in subcutaneous and visceral WAT, while males and ovariectomized females have visceral WAT (VWAT)-specific hyperplasia. However, the mechanism underlying sex-specific hyperplasia remains elusive. Here, transcriptome analysis in female mice shows that high-fat diet (HFD) induces estrogen signaling in adipocyte precursor cells (APCs). Analysis of APCs throughout the estrous cycle demonstrates increased proliferation only when proestrus (high estrogen) coincides with the onset of HFD feeding. We further show that estrogen receptor α (ERα) is required for this proliferation and that estradiol treatment at the onset of HFD feeding is sufficient to drive it. This estrous influence on APC proliferation leads to increased obesity driven by adipocyte hyperplasia. These data indicate that estrogen drives ERα-dependent obesogenic adipocyte hyperplasia in females, exacerbating obesity and contributing to the differential fat distribution between the sexes.

mRNA profiling of white hMADS cells converted in brite adipocytes and transfected with mimic miR-125b-5p

Project description:miR-125b-5p is a well known miRNA already describded in several forms of cancer. miR-125b-5p is expressed in adipose tissue, adipocytes as well as their precursor cells. We aim to invest the role of miR-125b-5p in white adipocytes conversion into brite adipocytes. To get an idea about putative targets of miR-125b-5p in adipocyte conversion, we transfected miR-125b-5p mimic in human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells, differenciated in white adipocytes. Gene expression profiling is performed 48h after hMADSC transfection. Two-condition experiment, hMADS cells at day 16 after conversion of white adipocytes into brite adipocytes, comparison of cells transfected with a mimic miR-125b-5p to cells transfected with a negative controle. Biological replicates: 4, indepently grown and harvested. On each array, one biological replicate of mimic miR-125b-5p transfected cells was directly compared to one biological replicate of mimic negative control transfected cells (serving as reference sample). All hybridizations were repeated with reversed dye assignment (dye-swap) as technical replicates.
