Project description:We identified the target genes of FTO ("fat mass and obesity associated") in primary cultures of human skeletal muscle cells using adenoviral vectors expressing FTO or GFP and oligonucleotide microarrays. Human myotubes were prepared from 4 different skeletal muscle biopsies. After differentiation, myotubes were infected for 48 hours with recombinant adenovirus expressing either GFP or FTO. Each FTO-infected myotubes culture was compared to GFP-infected myotubes culture. GFP-infected myotubes were regarded as the control. Four biological replicates were processed.

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms in intron 1 of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene were found to be associated with an increased risk of adult obesity. Enhanced FTO expression in mice leads to hyperphagia, increased fat mass, and higher body weight. Neuronal-specific FTOâ??deleted mice have an identical lean body weight phenotype to global FTO-deleted mice. The physiological role of adipose FTO in the homeostasis of energy regulation remains to be elucidated. We used microarrays to elucidate the metabolic pathways that are regulated by FTO in the white fat. FTO flox/flox and Adiponectin-cre FTO flox/flox (AFO) mice were fed with chow diet. White fat tissues from epididymal adipose pad were harvested under ad lib condition for RNA isolation. Three independent pools of FTO flox/flox and AFO mouse white fat RNA were included in the study.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies in diverse populations have reproducibly associated variants within introns of FTO with increased risk for obesity and type-2 diabetes.While the molecular mechanisms linking these noncoding variants with obesity are not immediately obvious, subsequent studies in mice demonstrated that FTO expression levels influence body mass and composition phenotypes. Yet, no direct connection between the obesity-associated intronic variants and FTO expression or function has been made. We show that the obesity-associated noncoding sequences within FTO are functionally connected, at megabase distances, primarily with the homeobox gene IRX3, rather than with FTO. 4C-seq samples for Fto/fto and Irx3/irx3a genes promoters in different samples: adult mouse brain, E9.5 mouse embryos and 24hpf zebrafish embryos.

Project description:RNA methylation plays an important role fine tuning translation and subsequently regulating cellular responses and cell fate. The fat mass- and obesity-associated protein (FTO) was recognized as an m6A demethylase and described as an oncogenic factor in leukemia and brain tumors. FTO expression levels are suppressed in ovarian tumors and ovarian cancer stem cells (CSCs). FTO induce cyclic AMP activity through targeting PDE4B and PDE1C by down-regulation of m6A levels in the mRNA transcript. In all or findings point to a tumor suppressor function of FTO in high grade serous OC

Project description:Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is a member of the Fe (II) and oxoglutarate-dependent AlkB oxygenase family, and has been linked to obesity and intellectual disability. However, the role of FTO in neurodevelopment and neurogenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we show that FTO is expressed in adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) and neurons, and displays dynamic expression during postnatal neurodevelopment. The loss of FTO leads to the decreased brain size and body weight. We found that FTO deficiency could reduce the proliferation and neuronal differentiation of aNSCs in vivo, which leads to the impaired learning and memory. Given the role of FTO as a demethylase of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), we further performed the genome-wide m6A profiling and observed the dynamic m6A modification during postnatal neurodevelopment. The loss of FTO could lead to the altered m6A modifications on the mRNAs of several key components of BDNF pathway. These results together suggest that FTO play important roles in neurogenesis and learning and memory.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the major post-transcriptional modification present in mammalian mRNA. m6A controls fundamental biological processes including cell proliferation, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that the m6A demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) controls the cell cycle by targeting cyclin D1, the key regulator required for G1 phase progression. FTO silencing suppressed cyclin D1 expression and induced G1 arrest. FTO depletion upregulated cyclin D1 m6A modification, which in turn accelerated the degradation of cyclin D1 mRNA. Importantly, m6A modification of cyclin D1 oscillates in a cell cycle-dependent manner; m6A levels were suppressed during the G1 phase and enhanced during other phases. Low m6A levels during G1 were associated with nuclear translocation of FTO from the cytosol. Furthermore, nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of FTO is regulated by Casein Kinase II-mediated phosphorylation at Thr 150 of FTO. Our results highlight the role of m6A in regulating cyclin D1 mRNA stability, and add a new layer of complexity to cell cycle regulation.
