METTL3-mediated Klf9 mRNA stabilization contributes to white adipose tissue beiging

ABSTRACT: The induction of beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue (WAT), also known as WAT beiging, improves glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the regulation of WAT beiging at the posttranscriptional level remains elusive. Here, we report that METTL3, the methyltransferase of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification, is induced during WAT beiging in mice. Adipose-specific depletion of Mettl3 gene undermines WAT beiging. Transcriptomic analysis of m6A modifications and mRNA expression level reveals global reduction of m6A-modified mRNAs in Mettl3-depleted beige adipose tissue. In particular, METTL3-catalyzed m6A installation on Krüppel-like factor 9 (Klf9) mRNA prevents its degradation. We further demonstrate that the m6A reader protein IGF2BP3 mediates the stabilization of m6A-modified Klf9 mRNA. Overexpressioin of KLF9 protein reverses the impaired WAT beiging elicited by Mettl3 deletion. These findings uncover a novel epitranscriptional mechanism in WAT beiging and identify METTL3-KLF9 axis as a potential therapeutic target for obesity-associated disorders.

Adipocyte YTH N(6)-methyladenosine RNA-binding protein 1 protects against obesity by promoting white adipose tissue beiging in male mice

Project description:Obesity, one of the most serious public health issues, is caused by energy imbalance of energy intake and expenditure. N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been recently identified as a key regulator of obesity, while the detailed mechanism is elusive. Here, we found that YTH RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1), an m6A reader, acts as an essential regulator of white adipose tissue metabolism. The expression of YTHDF1 decreased in adipose tissue of mice fed a high-fat diet. Adipocyte-specific Ythdf1 deficiency exacerbated obesity-induced metabolic defects and inhibited beiging of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) in mice. By contrast, mice with WAT-specific Ythdf1 overexpression were resistant to obesity and showed promotion of beiging. Mechanistically, YTHDF1 regulated the translation of diverse m6A-modified mRNAs. In particular, YTHDF1 facilitated the translation of bone morphogenetic protein 8b (Bmp8b) in an m6A-dependent manner to induce the beiging process. Together, these findings suggested that YTHDF1 may be an attractive therapeutic target for the management of obesity-associated diseases.

Beiging of perivascular adipose tissue regulates its inflammation and vascular remodeling

Project description:Although inflammation plays critical roles in the development of atherosclerosis, its regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has been reported to undergo inflammatory changes in response to vascular injury. Here, we showed that vascular injury induced the beiging (brown adipose tissue-like phenotype change) of PVAT, which fine-tunes inflammatory response and thus vascular remodeling as a protective mechanism. In a mouse model of endovascular injury, macrophages accumulated in PVAT, causing beiging phenotype change. Inhibition of PVAT beiging by genetically silencing PRDM16, a key regulator to beiging, exacerbated inflammation and vascular remodeling following injury. Conversely, activation of PVAT beiging attenuated inflammation and pathological vascular remodeling. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that beige adipocytes abundantly expressed neuregulin 4 (Nrg4) which critically regulated alternative macrophage activation. Importantly, significant beiging was observed in the diseased aortic PVAT in patients with acute aortic dissection. Taken together, vascular injury induced the beiging of adjacent PVAT with macrophage accumulation, where NRG4 secreted from the beige PVAT facilitated alternative activation of macrophages, leading to the resolution of vascular inflammation. Our study demonstrated the pivotal roles of PVAT in vascular inflammation and remodeling and will open a new avenue for treating atherosclerosis.

Remodeling of gene regulatory networks underlying thermogenic stimuli-induced adipose beiging

Project description:Beige adipocytes are induced by cold temperatures or β3-adrenergic receptor (Adrb3) agonists. They create heat through glucose and fatty acid (FA) oxidation, conferring metabolic benefits. The distinct and shared mechanisms by which these treatments induce beiging are unknown. Here, we performed single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (snATAC-seq) on adipose tissue from mice exposed to cold or an Adrb3 agonist to identify cellular and chromatin accessibility dynamics during beiging. Both stimuli induce chromatin remodeling that influence vascularization and inflammation in adipose. Beige adipocytes from cold-exposed mice have increased accessibility at genes regulating glycolytic processes, whereas Adrb3 activation increases cAMP responses. While both thermogenic stimuli increase accessibility at genes regulating thermogenesis, lipogenesis, and beige adipocyte development, the kinetics and magnitudes of the changes are distinct for the stimuli. Accessibility changes at lipogenic genes are linked to functional changes in lipid composition of adipose. Both stimuli tend to decrease the proportion of palmitic acids, a saturated FA in adipose. However, Adrb3 activation increases the proportion of monounsaturated FAs, whereas cold increases the proportion of polyunsaturated FAs. These findings reveal common and distinct mechanisms of cold and Adrb3 induced beige adipocyte biogenesis, and identify unique functional consequences of manipulating these pathways in vivo.

RNA-seq of cold stimulated inguinal fat of wild type and Rarres2-/- mice

Project description:Although various stimuli and mediators have been identified to promote thermogenic beige fat development, less is known about the negative regulator of cold-induced beiging. We here show that lack of chemerin that is highly expressed in white adipose tissue or its receptor CMKLR1 in adipocytes enhances cold-induced beiging and thermogenesis. Our results reveal a previously unrecognized beige-inhibitory role of chemerin-CMKLR1 axis, and suggests CMKLR1 as a therapeutic target for obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Targeted Quantitative Profiling of Epitranscriptomic Reader, Writer and Eraser Proteins Revealed Potential Crosstalk between N6-Methyladenosine and Other RNA Modifications

Project description:N⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) and its reader, writer, and eraser (RWE) proteins assume crucial roles in regulating the splicing, stability, and translation of mRNA. To our knowledge, no systematic investigations have been conducted about the crosstalk between m6A and other modified nucleosides in RNA. Herein, we modified our recently established liquid chromatography-parallel-reaction monitoring (LC-PRM) method by incorporating stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptides as internal or surrogate standards for profiling epitranscriptomic RWE proteins. We were able to detect reproducibly a total of 114 RWE proteins in HEK293T cells with the genes encoding m6A eraser proteins (i.e., ALKBH5, FTO) and the catalytic subunit of the major m6A writer complex (i.e., METTL3) being individually ablated. Notably, eight proteins were altered by more than 1.5-fold in the opposite directions in HEK293T cells depleted of METTL3 and ALKBH5. Analysis of published m6A mapping results revealed the presence of m6A in the corresponding mRNAs of four of these proteins. Together, we integrated SIL peptides into our LC-PRM method for quantifying epitranscriptomic RWE proteins, and our work revealed potential crosstalks between m6A and other epitranscriptomic modifications. Our modified LC-PRM method with the use of SIL peptides should be applicable for high-throughput profiling of epitranscriptomic RWE proteins in other cell types and in tissues.

Cold and b3Adr-agonism lead to distinct immunological shifts during beige remodeling of white adipose tissue

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) is a dynamic tissue, which responds to environmental stimuli and dietary cues by changing its morphology and metabolic capacity. The ability of WAT to undergo a beige remodeling has become an appealing strategy to combat obesity and its comorbidities. Here, by using single cell RNA sequencing, we provide a comprehensive atlas of the cellular dynamics during beige remodeling. We reveal drastic changes both in the overall cellular composition and transcriptional states of individual cell subtypes between Adrb3- and cold-induced beiging. Moreover, we demonstrate that cold induces a myeloid to lymphoid shift of the immune compartment compared to Adrb3 activation. Further analysis, showed that Adrb3 stimulation leads to activation of the interferon/Stat1 pathways favoring infiltration of myeloid immune cells, while repression of this pathway by cold promotes lymphoid immune cells recruitment. These findings highlight that pharmacological mimetics may not provide the same beneficial results as physiological stimuli.
