The Mediator Subunit MED20 Organizes the Early Adipogenic Complex to Promote Development of Adipose Tissues and Diet-Induced Obesity

ABSTRACT: MED20 is a non-essential subunit of the transcriptional coactivator Mediator complex, but its physiological function remains largely unknown. Here we show that MED20 plays a key role in the development of adipose tissue and diet-induced obesity. Through affinity purification and candidate screening, we demonstrate that MED20 is targeted for degradation by the anti-obesity CRL4-WDTC1 E3 complex. Depleting MED20 in either 3T3-L1 cells or primary preadipocytes inhibits adipogenesis. Mice with MED20 knocked out in preadipocytes show dramatic defect in the development of brown adipose tissue. Furthermore, removing one allele of Med20 in preadipocytes protects mice from diet-induced obesity, and reverses weight gain in Cul4a- or Cul4b-depleted mice. Mechanistically, MED20 plays a key role in organizing the early adipogenic complex by bridging C/EBPβ and RNA polymerase II and thereby stimulating the transcription of PPARγ. Our study has thus identified MED20 as a potential target for obesity treatment.

DDB1 Binds Histone Reader BRWD3 to Activate the Transcriptional Cascade in Adipogenesis and Promote Onset of Obesity (RNA-Seq)

Project description:DDB1 is typically recognized as a component of the Cullin4 (CUL4)-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Here, we show that DDB1 functions independently of CUL4 to promote adipogenesis and diet-induced obesity. In contrast to depletion of CUL4A or CUL4B that stimulates adipogenesis, lack of DDB1 dramatically suppresses the process. Re-introduction of a DDB1 mutant that lacks the binding ability to CUL4A or CUL4B fully restores adipogenesis in DDB1-deficient preadipocytes. Furthermore, while inducibly knocking out Cul4a or Cul4b in mice aggravates diet-induced obesity, Ddb1+/- mice are lean on high-fat diet. Mechanistically, by binding the bromodomain-containing histone reader BRWD3, DDB1 is recruited to acetylated histones in the proximal promoters of immediate-early response genes, where it facilitates the release of paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and activates the transcription of these genes. Our findings have thus uncovered a mechanism of activating the transcriptional cascade in adipogenesis by DDB1-mediated release of paused Pol II.

c-Myc uses Cul4b to preserve genome stability and promote CD8+ T cell-mediated antiviral immune responses

Project description:During infection, virus-specific CD8+ T cells undergo rapid bursts of proliferation and differentiate into effector cells that kill virus infected cells and reduce viral load. This rapid clonal expansion can put T cells at significant risk for replication-induced DNA damage. We found that c-Myc utilizes the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Cul4b, to inextricably link CD8+ T cell expansion to DNA damage response pathways. Following activation, c-Myc increased levels of Cul4b and other members of the CRL4 complex. Despite having abundant c-Myc expression, Cul4b-deficient CD8+ T cells were unable to expand and clear virus. Cul4b-deficient CD8+ T cells accrued DNA damage and succumbed to proliferative catastrophe early after antigen encounter. Mechanistically, Cul4b ablation induced a protracted accumulation of p21 and Cyclin E2 resulting in replication stress. Our data show that, to support cell proliferation, c-Myc must employ Cul4b to maintain genome stability, thereby directly coupling these two interdependent pathways. These data clarify how CD8+ T cells use c-Myc and Cul4b to sustain their potential for extraordinary population expansion, longevity and antiviral responses.

Human s.c adipose tissue gene expression during diet-induced weight loss

Project description:Obesity has considerable effects on morbidity and mortality and the prevalence of obesity has been increasing rapidly worldwide during the past two decades. Even if obesity affects the entire individual, adipose tissue play a central role in the development of obesity. Expression profiling of adipose tissue may give insights into mechanisms contributing to obesity and obesity-related disorders. 24 obese subjects (6 women and 18 men, BMI 37.6 ± 4.9) received a very low calorie diet (450 kcal/d, Cambridge diet or Modifast) for 16 weeks. On average, patients lost 27.7 kg during the diet. Microarray expression analysis (Affymetrix U133A) in subcutaneous adipose tissue was performed before diet and after 16 weeks of diet.

scRNA of preadipocytes and mature adipocytes from mice exposed to a mouse model of early life stress

Project description:Background: Adipose tissue homeostasis is a complex process influenced by many mechanisms that become dysregulated with obesity. We have previously shown that Maternal Separation and Early Weaning (MSEW), a mouse model of early life stress, exacerbates high-fat diet (HF)-induced fat deposition in female mice, but not male mice. In addition, we have shown that this exacerbated adiposity is due to an increase in visceral adipose tissue, and fat depot known to be linked with cardio-metabolic dysfunction. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine differential gene expression patterns in gonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT), a visceral fat, in female mice exposed to MSEW compared to controls. Adipose tissue is composed of many different stromal cell types including preadipocytes, mature adipocytes, and immune cells. Preadipocytes are the precursor stem cells that differentiate into mature adipocytes that can uptake and store lipids and have a more predominte endocrine function. Methods: Control and MSEW mice were weaned onto either a low-fat diet (LF) or a high-fat diet (HF) for 20 weeks. Fresh gonadal white adipose tissue was harvested after euthanasia and subjected to collagenase digestion. Tissue was centrifuged and filtered to separate the mature fraction from the stromal vascular fraction. Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (MACs) was used to further isolate adipocytes from other cell types. Pre-and mature adipocytes were collected and saved in Purezol at -80oC for later RNA extraction using the Promega ReliaPrep RNA miniprep systems. Total RNA was sent to Novogene for scRNAseq analysis.

The CRL4B E3 ubiquitin ligase complex regulates mitosis by recruiting phospho-specific DCAFs

Project description:The cullin scaffolds CUL4A and CUL4B assemble E3-ligase complexes regulating multiple mostly chromatin-associated cellular functions. Although they are structurally similar, we found that the unique N-terminal extension of CUL4B is heavily phosphorylated during mitosis, and this pattern is perturbed in CUL4B-P50L XLID patients. Indeed, phenotypic characterization and mutational analysis revealed that CUL4B phosphorylation is required for efficient progression through mitosis, controlling spindle positioning and cortical tension. Interestingly, while CUL4B phosphorylation triggers chromatin exclusion, it also promotes binding to actin regulators and two unconventional DCAFs, LIS1 and WDR1. Indeed, LIS1 and WDR1 directly bind DDB1, but their binding is enhanced by phosphorylation-dependent interactions with the unique amino terminal domain of CUL4B. Together, our studies uncover specific functions of CRL4B in mitosis, and identify previously unrecognized DCAFs that bind CUL4B by a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.

Fibroblast activation protein restrains adipogenic differentiation and regulates matrix-mediated mTOR signaling

Project description:Obesity is a risk factor for multiple diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Within obese adipose tissue, multiple factors contribute to creating a disease-promoting environment, including metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrosis. Recent evidence points to fibrotic responses, particularly extracellular matrix remodeling, in playing a highly functional role in the pathogenesis of obesity. Fibroblast activation protein plays an essential role in remodeling collagen-rich matrices in the context of fibrosis and cancer. We observed that FAP-null mice have increased weight compared to wild-type controls, and so investigated the role of FAP in regulating diet-induced obesity. Using genetically engineered mouse models and in-vitro cell-derived matrices, we demonstrate that FAP expression by preadipocytes restrains adipogenic differentiation. FAP-mediated matrix remodeling also alters lipid metabolism in part by regulating mTOR signaling. Together, via these mechanisms, FAP confers resistance to diet-induced obesity. The critical role of ECM remodeling in regulating obesity offers new potential targets for therapy.
