An Epigenome Atlas of Mouse Adipocytes

ABSTRACT: Despite recent advances in the characterization of the mouse adipocyte epigenome, epigenetic characterization of adipocytes in vivo has been limited, particularly across different adipose depots and of more than two epigenetic modifications. In this study, by using the state-of-the art method CUT&Tag and NuTRAP mice to generate paired single mouse datasets we conducted an integrative multimodal analysis of five histone marks – H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac and H3K9me3 – in beige, brown, and white adipocytes from three distinct mouse adipose tissue depots. Our analysis revealed that enhancers distinguished adipocytes by their tissue of origin, with H3K4me1 deposition differentiating between beige and brown adipocytes. Furthermore, diphtheria toxin-mediated ablation of beige adipocytes showed that white adipocytes in inguinal adipose tissue and beige adipocytes did not use a distinct enhancer set and both poised thermogenic genes for expression. In contrast, adipocytes from epididymal adipose tissue actively repressed thermogenic master regulators and exhibited a distinct enhancer profile compared to white adipocytes from inguinal tissue. These paired multimodal data comprise an extensive resource for the further exploration of the mouse adipocyte epigenome which may enable discovery of regulatory elements governing adipocyte identity and gene regulation.

A non-cell autonomous mechanism of beige adipocyte renaissance in subcutaneous adipose tissue

Project description:Two types of UCP1 positive cells-brown and beige adipocytes exist in mammals. Beige adipocytes are very plastic, and can be dynamically regulated by environment.Beige adipocytes formed postnatally in subcutaneous inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) lost thermogenic gene expression and multilocular morphology at adult stage, but cold could restore their “beigeing” characteristics, a phenomenon termed as beige adipocyte renaissance. Our results showed that beige cell maintenance and renaissance in adult mice were regulated by cAMP and HDAC4 signaling in white adipocytes non-cell autonomously. Genetic modulations of various components of this cAMP-HDAC4 cascade (e.g. LKB1) led to persistent browning and reduced adiposity independent of thermogenesis. To further study the mechanisms of beige adipocytes maintenance, we performed RNA-seq with samples from inguinal white adipose tissues of WT, AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F, and AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F; HDAC4 F/F mice.Our studies will move the beige adipocyte field forward and attract clinical applications to target beige adipocyte renaissance.

Transcriptomic Characterization of Human Beige Adipocyte Differentiated From Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Project description:Beige adipocytes are a distinct type of thermogenic fat cells in human. Since beige adipocytes are distributed sporadically within white adipose, characterization of human beige adipocytes has long been a problem. In this study, we reported a rapid and roboust method in generating human beige adipocyte with chemically defined medium and RNA-Seq was perfomed to reveal the molecular characterization of derived human beige adipocytes.

Mouse Vascularized Adipose Spheroids: An Organotypic Model for Thermogenic Adipocytes

Project description:Adipose tissues, particularly beige and brown adipose tissue, play crucial roles in energy metabolism. Brown adipose tissues’ thermogenic capacity and the appearance of beige cells within white adipose tissue have spurred interest in their metabolic impact and therapeutic potential. Brown and beige fat cells, activated by factors like cold exposure, share mechanisms that drive non-shivering thermogenesis. Understanding their behavior requires sophisticated, yet universal in vitro models that replicate the complex microenvironment and vasculature of adipose tissues. Here we present mouse vascularized adipose spheroids of the stromal vascular microenvironment from inguinal white adipose tissue. We show that scaffold embedding improves vascular sprouting, enhances spheroid growth, and upregulates adipogenic markers. Transcriptional profiling via RNA sequencing revealed distinct metabolic pathways upregulated in our vascularized adipose spheroids, with increased expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and thermogenesis. Functional assessment demonstrated increased oxygen consumption in vascularized adipose spheroids compared to 2D cultures, which was further enhanced by β-adrenergic receptor stimulation via isoproterenol correlating with elevated β-adrenergic receptor expression. Moreover, stimulation with the naturally occurring adipokine, FGF21, induced Ucp1 mRNA expression in the vascularized adipose spheroids. In conclusion, our vascularized inguinal white adipose tissue spheroids provide a physiologically relevant platform to study how the stromal vascular microenvironment shapes adipocyte responses and influence activated thermogenesis in beige adipocytes.

Transcriptome analysis in adipose tissues of BAF60a knockout mice

Project description:Brown and beige fat share a remarkably similar transcriptional program that supports fuel oxidation and thermogenesis. The chromatin-remodeling machinery that governs genome accessibility and renders adipocytes poised for thermogenic activation remains elusive. BAF60a serves an indispensable role in cold-induced thermogenesis in brown fat. Surprisingly, fat-specific BAF60a inactivation triggers more pronounced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue. These results suggest a dichotomous role of BAF60a-mediated chromatin remodeling in transcriptional control of brown and beige gene programs. To elucidate the mechanism, we performed microarray annalysis in inguinal white adipose tissues from mice after chronic cold exposure.

A Neurogenic Signature Involving Monoamine Oxidase-A Controls Human Thermogenic Adipose Tissue Development

Project description:Mechanisms that control “beige/brite” thermogenic adipose tissue development may be harnessed to improve human metabolic health. To define these mechanisms, we developed a species-hybrid model in which human mesenchymal progenitor cells were used to develop white or thermogenic/beige adipose tissue in mice. The hybrid adipose tissue developed distinctive features of human adipose tissue, such as larger adipocyte size, despite its neurovascular architecture being entirely of murine origin. Thermogenic adipose tissue recruited a denser, qualitatively distinct vascular network, differing in genes mapping to circadian rhythm pathways, and denser sympathetic innervation. The enhanced thermogenic neurovascular network was associated with human adipocyte expression of THBS4, TNC, NTRK3 and SPARCL1, which enhance neurogenesis, and decreased expression of MAOA and ACHE, which control neurotransmitter tone. Systemic inhibition of MAOA, which is present in human but absent in mouse adipocytes, induced browning of human but not mouse adipose tissue, revealing the physiological relevance of this pathway. Our results reveal species-specific cell type dependencies controlling the development of thermogenic adipose tissue and point to human adipocyte MAOA as a potential target for metabolic disease therapy.

ZFP423 Controls EBF2 Co-activator Recruitment and PPARgamma Occupancy to Determine the Thermogenic Plasticity of Adipocytes_ChIP-seq

Project description:Energy-storing white adipocytes maintain their identity by suppressing the gene program defining energy-burning thermogenic brown/beige adipocytes. Here, we reveal that the protein-protein interaction between the transcriptional co-regulator ZFP423 and brown/beige cell determination factor, EBF2, is essential for restraining the thermogenic phenotype of white adipose tissue (WAT). Disruption of the ZFP423-EBF2 protein interaction through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing triggers widespread “browning” of WAT in adult mice. Mechanistically, adipocyte Zfp423 deficiency induces an EBF2 NuRD-to-BAF co-regulator switch and a shift in PPARgamma occupancy to thermogenic genes. This shift in PPARgamma occupancy increases the anti-diabetic efficacy of the PPARgamma agonist rosiglitazone in obesity while diminishing the unwanted weight-gaining effect of the drug. These data indicate that ZFP423 controls EBF2 co-activator recruitment and PPARgamma occupancy to determine the thermogenic plasticity of adipocytes and raise the concept of targeting transcriptional brakes in adipocyte gene expression as a therapeutic strategy to induce thermogenic adipocyte biogenesis in obesity.

SENP2 suppresses browning of white adipose tissues by de-conjugating SUMO from C/EBPβ

Project description:The adipose tissue is a key site regulating energy metabolism. One of the contributing factors behind this is browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), however, knowledge of the intracellular determinants of browning process remains incomplete. By generating adipocyte-specific Senp2 knockout (Senp2-aKO) mice, here we showed that SENP2 negatively regulates browning by de-conjugating SUMO from C/EBPβ. Senp2-aKO mice were resistant to diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance due to increased energy expenditure and heat production. Senp2 knockout promoted beige adipocyte accumulation in inguinal WAT by upregulation of thermogenic gene expression. In addition, SENP2 knockdown promoted thermogenic adipocyte differentiation of precursor cells isolated from inguinal and epididymal WATs. Mechanistically, sumoylated C/EBPβ, a target of SENP2, suppressed expression of HOXC10, a browning inhibitor, by recruiting a transcriptional repressor DAXX. These findings indicate that a SENP2-C/EBPβ-HOXC10 axis operates for the control of beige adipogenesis in inguinal WAT.
