Perineurium integrates leptin with its sympathetic outflow to protect against obesity

ABSTRACT: The regulatory mechanism of leptin's afferent action in the brain is contingent upon the efferent sympathetic innervation of white and brown adipose tissues. Nonetheless, the peripheral regulation governing the afferent-efferent balance remains ambiguous. Here we show the enriched expression of both leptin receptor (Lepr) and β2-adrenergic receptor (Adrb2) in perineurial cells that form a barrier around sympathetic ganglia and nerve bundles in adipose tissues, using single-cell RNA sequencing on mouse sympathetic ganglia. Lepr+ sympathetic perineurial cells (SPCs) are molecularly similar to endothelial cells. Conditional knockout of Adrb2 in Lepr+ cells, including SPCs, predisposes male mice to obesity by lowering energy expenditure and thermogenesis without affecting food intake. Notably, obesity-associated hyperleptinaemia causes apoptosis in SPCs, disrupting the perineurial barrier and concomitant adipose sympathetic neuropathy. This deleterious effect can be reversed by partial reduction of leptin or sympathomimetic β2-adrenergic receptor agonism. Clinically, we observed a male-specific synergistic effect of LEPR and ADRB2 polymorphisms on increased body mass index risk in a large European population. We propose that SPCs coordinate the afferent and efferent arms of the neuroendocrine loop of leptin action to regulate energy expenditure and body weight.

Bulk RNA Sequencing of sorted LepR+ Sympathetic Associated Perineurial Cells

Project description:Adipose tissues (ATs) are innervated by sympathetic nerves, which drive reduction of fat mass via lipolysis and thermogenesis. Here, we report a population of immunomodulatory leptin receptor (LepR)-expressing barrier cells which ensheath sympathetic axon bundles in adipose tissues. These LepR-expressing Sympathetic Perineurial Cells (SPCs) produce IL33, a factor for maintenance and recruitment of regulatory T cell (Treg) and eosinophils in AT. Brown adipose tissues (BAT) of mice lacking IL33 in SPCs (SPCIL33cKO) have fewer Treg and eosinophils, resulting in increased BAT inflammation. These SPCIL33cKO mice are more susceptible to diet-induced obesity, independently of food intake. Furthermore, SPCIL33cKO mice have impaired adaptive thermogenesis, and are unresponsive to leptin-induced rescue of metabolic adaptation. We, therefore, identify LepR-expressing SPCs as a source of IL33 which orchestrate an anti-inflammatory environment in BAT, preserving sympathetic-mediated thermogenesis and body weight homeostasis. LepR+ IL33+SPCs provide a cellular link between leptin and immune regulation of body weight, unifying neuroendocrinology and immunometabolism as previously disconnected fields of obesity research.

ANGPTL4 binds to leptin receptor to regulate ectopic bone formation and fat metabolism

Project description:Leptin protein was thought to be unique to leptin receptor (LepR), but the phenotypes of mice with mutation in LepR (db/db) and leptin (ob/ob) are not identical, and the cause remains unclear. Here, we show that db/db, but not ob/ob mice had defect in tenotomy-induced heterotopic ossification (HO), implicating alternative ligand(s) for LepR might be involved. Ligand screening revealed that ANGPTL4, a stress and fasting-induced factor, was elicited from brown adipose tissue after tenotomy, bound to LepR on PRRX1+ mesenchymal cells at the HO cite, thus promotes chondrogenesis and HO development. Disruption of LepR in PRRX1+ cells, or lineage ablation of LepR+ cells, or deletion of ANGPTL4 impeded chondrogenesis and HO in mice. Surprisingly, exogenous ANGPTL4 treatment not only promoted HO, but facilitated the transformation from white to brown adipose tissue in mice. These findings identify ANGPTL4 as a novel ligand for LepR to stimulate HO and regulate fat metabolism.

TH-positive pulmonary nerve fiber-epithelial interaction promotes adipose thermogenesis in male mice [Lung_RNA-seq]

Project description:Cold exposure activates sympathetic neurons in adipose tissue to maintain thermal homeostasis. However, whether sympathetic activation in non-adipose tissues contributes to cross-organ regulation of adipose thermogenesis remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate the activation of TH-positive pulmonary nerve fibers (TPNFs) by cold exposure, which further promotes adipose thermogenesis. Specifically, cold exposure activates TPNFs that innervate bronchial Club cells in the lung and leads to a reduction in Secretoglobin family 3A member 1 (SCGB3A1) expression via Adrenergic Receptor β2 (ADRB2). SCGB3A1, a Club cell-specific secretory factor, binds the choline transporter SLC44A2 on adipocytes to restrict choline uptake and impair thermogenic activation. Meanwhile, TPNFs activation induces NGF secretion from Club cells, which in turn strengthens TPNFs innervation of Club cells in a feedforward loop. Importantly, the stimulation of this mechanism via tracheal infusion of the ADRB2 agonist norepinephrine (NE) enhances thermogenesis in mice.

Leptin-Activated Crosstalk Among Brain, Brown Adipose Tissue, and Heart Drives Cardiac Protection After Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury [miRNA-seq]

Project description:Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, with coronary artery disease being the primary contributor. Our recent studies suggest that activation of leptin receptors (LepRs) in the brain can improve cardiac function following myocardial infarction. However, the mechanism by which this cardioprotective effect is transmitted from the brain to the heart remains unclear. We hypothesize that brain LepR activation stimulates brown adipose tissue (BAT) to secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) enriched with cardioprotective factors. These EVs may safeguard the heart by modulating cardiac mitochondrial function and collagen deposition. Our findings indicate that BAT ablation or BAT sympathetic denervation diminishes the cardioprotective effects of brain LepR activation. We also observed an increased concentration of EVs within BAT of rats treated with ICV leptin compared to vehicle-treated controls, an effect abolished by BAT denervation. Furthermore, knockdown of Rab27a in BAT reduced the cardioprotective benefits of brain LepR activation. MicroRNA (miR)-29c-3p was identified as a cargo of leptin-stimulated BAT-derived EVs and appears to play a key role in mitigating cardiac fibrosis after IR injury in leptin-treated animals. Thus, activation of LepR in the brain protects the heart after IR injury via sympathetic mediated BAT-derived EVs enriched with miR-29c-3p.

Hypothalamic SLC7A14 accounts for aging-reduced lipolysis in white adipose tissue

Project description:<p>The central nervous system has been implicated in the age-induced reduction in adipose tissue lipolysis. SLC7A14 is a lysosomal membrane protein highly expressed in the brain. Herein, we investigated the possible role of hypothalamic SLC7A14 in the age-induced lipolysis reduction. In this study, we demonstrated the expression of SLC7A14 was reduced in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons of aged mice. Overexpression of SLC7A14 in POMC neurons alleviated the age-induced reduction in white adipose tissue (WAT) lipolysis, whereas SLC7A14 deletion mimicked the age-induced lipolysis impairment. Moreover, POMC SLC7A14 regulated WAT lipolysis independently of sympathetic nerves in WAT. Metabolomics analysis revealed that POMC SLC7A14 increased the primary bile acid taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) content, which mediated the SLC7A14 knockout- or age-induced WAT lipolysis impairment. Furthermore, SLC7A14-increased TCDCA content is dependent on intestinal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT), which is regulated by intestinal sympathetic afferent nerves. Finally, SLC7A14 regulated the intestinal sympathetic afferent nerves by inhibiting mTORC1 signaling through inhibiting TSC1 phosphorylation. Collectively, our study suggests the function for central SLC7A14 and an upstream mechanism for the mTORC1 signaling pathway. Moreover, our data provides insights into the brain-gut-adipose tissue crosstalk in age-induced lipolysis impairment.</p>

Gene expression analysis of mouse lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) from the subcapsular sinus (SS, afferent) and lymphatic sinus (LS, efferent)

Project description:Afferent lymphatic vessels bring antigens and diverse populations of leukocytes to draining lymph nodes, but efferent lymphatics allow only lymphocytes to leave the nodes. Despite fundamental importance of afferent vs. efferent lymphatics in immune response and cancer spread, molecular characteristics of these different arms of the lymphatic vasculature are largely unknown. In this work we report marked transcriptional differences between afferent and efferent lymphatic endothelial cells. Mouse inguinal, axillary, and brachial lymphnodes were collected and cryomolds prepared for laser-capture microdissection. Frozen sections were stained with various cell marker antibodies and micro-dissection performed to collect lymphatic endothelial cells. Total RNA was extracted from the cells and used in microarray analysis. Alternatively, popliteal, caudal, lumbar, inguinal, mesenteric, renal, axillary, brachial, deep and superficial cervical LN were enzymatically digested, the cells stained, and FACs sorted before RNA isolation.
