Adipose METTL14-elicited N6-methyladenosine promotes obesity, insulin resistance, and NAFLD by suppressing β adrenergic signaling and lipolysis

ABSTRACT: Obesity is associated with impaired β-adrenergic receptor (Adrb1-3) signaling and lipolysis, leading to aberrant white adipose tissue (WAT) growth. WAT research has been centered on transcriptional and posttranslational regulations, but posttranscriptional regulation and mRNA modifications are poorly understood. Here, we unveil a METTL14/N6-methyladenosine (m6A) paradigm guiding β-adrenergic signaling and lipolysis. METTL14 complex installs m6A on RNA, regulating mRNA fate and translation. We found that feeding and insulin increased adipose Mettl14 and m6A levels. Adipose Mettl14 and m6A were upregulated in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Ablation of adipose Mettl14 decreased Adrb2, Adrb3, Atgl (encoding lipase), and Cig-58 (Atgl activator) transcript m6A contents while increasing their translation and protein levels, thereby enhancing adipose β-adrenergic signaling and lipolysis. Consequently, adipocyte-specific Mettl14 knockout mice were resistant to HFD-induced obesity, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and NAFLD. These results unravel a METTL14/m6A-based epitranscriptomic mechanism governing β-adrenergic signaling, lipolysis, and adipose growth in health and disease.

Transcriptome comparison of white adipose tissue between control and adipose specific HuR knockout mice

Project description:Human antigen R (HuR) is a member of the Hu family of RNA-binding proteins and is involved in many physiological processes. To investigate the role of adipose HuR, we generate adipose-specific HuR knockout (HuRAKO) mice. As compared with control mice, HuRAKO mice show obesity when induced with a high-fat diet, along with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hypercholesterolemia and increased inflammation in adipose tissue. The obesity of HuRAKO mice is attributed to adipocyte hypertrophy in white adipose tissue due to decreased expression of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a critical lipase involved in lipolysis. HuR positively regulates ATGL expression by promoting the mRNA stability and translation of ATGL. Consistently, the expression of HuR in adipose tissue is reduced in obese humans, which is associated with reduced ATGL expression. This study suggests that adipose HuR may be a critical regulator of ATGL expression and lipolysis and thereby controls obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Adrenergic-induced ERK3 pathway drives lipolysis and suppresses energy dissipation

Project description:Beta-adrenergic stimulation stabilizes ERK3, resulting in the formation of a complex with MK5 and thereby driving lipolysis. A downstream target of the complex is FOXO1, which controls expression of the lipolytic enzyme ATGL. Deletion of ERK3 in mouse adipocytes inhibits lipolysis, but elevates energy dissipation.

Ablation of TET proteins in adipocytes protects against adiposity and metabolic dysfunction by potentiating energy expenditure

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine in DNA to 5- hydroxymethylcytosine and further oxidized derivatives. Here we show that TET proteins are key epigenetic suppressors of adipocyte thermogenesis and energy expenditure in both white and brown adipose tissues in vivo. Tet expression in adipocytes decreases upon cold or adrenergic stimulation but increases following high-fat diet (HFD) consumption. Mice with triple deletion of all three Tet genes in adipocytes have higher energy expenditure due to enhanced fat browning and thermogenesis. They also show significantly enhanced lipolysis because of elevated expression of Adrb3 and key lipases including Atgl and Hsl. Consequently, the knockout mice display improved cold tolerance and are substantially resistant to obesity, inflammation, and associated metabolic complications including insulin resistance. Mechanistically, TET deficiency substantially prevents the HFD-induced transcriptional alterations in adipose tissues. TET proteins recruit histone deacetylases (HDACs) to the key thermogenic gene loci including Adrb3, Ppargc1a, and Ucp1, leading to transcriptional repression through histone deacetylation. Thus, the TET-HDAC axis may be therapeutically targeted to treat obesity and related metabolic diseases.

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

Project description: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.

Identification of CD44 downstream target genes

Project description:CD44 expression has been shown to be enhanced in the liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) during obesity, suggesting a possible regulatory role for CD44 in metabolic syndrome. To study this hypothesis, we compared the gene expression profiles in liver and in WAT between WT and CD44 knockout (CD44KO) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 21 weeks. This analysis demonstrated that several genes associated with triglyceride synthesis and accumulation, including Mogat2, Cidea, Cidea, Apoa4, and Elovl7, were decreased in the livers of CD44KO mice compared to WT mice. Many genes encoding pro-inflammatory chemokines and chemokine receptors also were decreased in the livers of CD44KO mice. Analysis with WAT showed that genes associated with triglyceride accumulation, including Fasn, Elovl6 and Mogat2, were increased in WAT of CD44KO(HFD) mice compared to WT(HFD) mice. Moreover, many genes associated with inflammation, including cytokines (Cxcl14, Cxcl12, Il33, and Il2), cytokine receptors (Ccr1, Il6ra, Il10rb), trypases (Tpsb2, Tpsab1, Tpsg1), and cellular matrix proteins (Integrin ?4 (Itga4), ItgaM, Itgb2), were decreased in WAT of CD44(HFD) compared to WT(HFD) mice. This study indicates that CD44 plays a critical role in regulating several aspects of metabolic syndrome. Liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) total RNAs were purified from 5 WT and 5 CD44 knockout mice fed with a high-fat diet for 21 weeks. Then, samples were applied on Agilent mouse genome chips.

Expression data from cultured mouse macrophages isolated from Hilpdaflox/flox (WT) and HilpdaΔMΦ (KO) mice treated with a mixture of fatty acids

Project description:Obesity leads to a state of chronic low-grade inflammation that features accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages in adipose tissue. Here, we determined the role of macrophage lipid droplet accumulation in the development of obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation, using mice with myeloid-specific deficiency of the lipid-inducible HILPDA protein. HILPDA deficiency markedly reduced intracellular lipid levels and accumulation of fluorescently-labeled fatty acids. Decreased lipid storage in HILPDA-deficient macrophages could be rescued by inhibition of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and was associated with increased oxidative metabolism. In diet-induced obese mice, HILPDA deficiency did not alter inflammatory and metabolic parameters, despite markedly reducing lipid accumulation in macrophages. Overall, we find that HILPDA is a lipid-induced physiological inhibitor of ATGL-mediated lipolysis in macrophages that uncouples lipid storage in adipose tissue macrophages from inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. Our data question the contribution of lipid droplet accumulation in adipose tissue macrophages in obesity-induced inflammation and metabolic dysregulation.

Transcriptional co-factor TBLR1 controls lipid mobilization in white adipose tissue

Project description:Lipid mobilization (lipolysis) in white adipose tissue (WAT) critically controls lipid turnover and adiposity in humans. While the acute regulation of lipolysis has been studied in detail, the transcriptional determinants of WAT lipolytic activity remain still largely unexplored. Here we show that the genetic inactivation of transcriptional co-factor transducin beta-like-related (TBLR) 1 blunts the lipolytic response of white adipocytes through the impairment of cAMP-dependent signal transduction. Indeed, mice lacking TBLR1 in adipocytes are defective in fasting-induced lipid mobilization and when placed on a high fat diet show aggravated adiposity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. TBLR1 levels are found to increase under lipolytic conditions in WAT of both human patients and mice, correlating with serum free fatty acids (FFA). As a critical regulator of WAT cAMP signaling and lipid mobilization, proper activity of TBLR1 in adipocytes may thus represent a critical molecular checkpoint for the prevention of metabolic dysfunction in subjects with obesity-related disorders. We used microarrays to identify global gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes lacking TBLR1 and compared gene expression to control shRNA treated cells in both basal and isoproterenol stimulated states. We analyzed 12 RNA samples extracted from 3T3-L1 adipocytes that were treated with either control or TBLR1 specific shRNAs and with or without 10 ÂµM isoproterenol for 3 hrs. Three replicates of each condition.
