Tetrahydroberberrubine produces anti-obesity effect by activating PGC1α-mediated thermogenesis in white and brown adipose tissue

ABSTRACT: The increasing incidence of obesity poses great challenges and demands for developing effective therapeutic approaches. We aimed to reveal the anti-obesity effects of tetrahydroberberrubine (THBru), a derivative of berberine (BBR) and elucidate its underlying mechanism. The anti-obesity effects of THBru and BBR were assessed and compared using an obese mouse model induced by high fat diet (HFD). THBru was found to markedly ameliorated obesity, indicated by reduced body weight, decreased Lee’s index, lowered epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) fat mass as well as improved dyslipidemia. At the same dose, THBru produced greater anti-obesity effects than BBR. RNA-sequencing and gene set enrichment analysis indicated THBru activated thermogenesis, which was further confirmed in WAT, BAT, and 3T3-L1 cells. Bioinformatics analysis of RNA-sequencing data revealed the candidate gene Pgc1α, a key regulator involved in thermogenesis. Moreover, THBru was demonstrated to elevate the expression of PGC1α by stabilizing its mRNA in WAT, BAT and 3T3-L1 cells. Furthermore, PGC1α knockdown blocked the pro-thermogenic and anti-obesity action of THBru both in vivo and in vitro. This study indicated THBru exerted anti-obesity effects by activating PGC1α-mediated thermogenesis and outlined its potential preventive and therapeutic implications for obesity and related diseases.

Gene expression data of brown-like adipocytes from Lgr4 homozygous mutant SVF

Gene expression data of brown-like adipocytes from Lgr4 homozygous mutant SVF

Project description:Obesity has become a global health problem. Brown adipose tissue (BAT), specialized for energy expenditure through thermogenesis, potently counteracts obesity. Recently, BAT is also identified in human adults. We found that Lgr4 homozygous mutant (Lgr4m/m) mice display reduced adiposity and exhibit brown-like adipocytes in their WAT depots with higher expression of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1). Furthermore, Lgr4 ablation potentiates brown adipocyte differentiation from stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of epididymal WAT (eWAT) in vitro. We used microarrays to emxamine the gene expression profiles of the brown-like adipocytes differentiated from SVF of wild-type and Lgr4 mutant mice. We identified distinct gene expression profiles of these two groups. To demonstrate Lgr4 ablation can potentiate the differentiation of SVF from eWAT toward brown-like adipocytes in vitro, we isolated SVF from epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of wild-type (WT) and Lgr4 mutant mice. We then plated SVF cells in 12-well plate, and differentiated them to brown adipocytes, followed by RNA extraction and hybridization with Affymetrix microarrays.

The Histone Methyltransferase SUV420H2 Regulates Brown and Beige Adipocyte Thermogenesis (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity. Epigenetic regulation has emerged as a key mechanism underlying BAT development and function. To study the epigenetic regulation of BAT thermogenesis, we surveyed the expression of epigenetic enzymes that catalyze histone modifications in developmental beige adipocytes and found a unique expression pattern of suppressor of variegation 4-20 homolog 2 (Drosophila) (Suv420h2), a histone methyltransferase that preferentially catalyzes the tri-methylation at histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me3), a hallmark of gene silencing. Here we discovered that Suv420h2 expression parallels that of UCP1 expression in brown and beige adipocytes and that SUV420H2 knockdown significantly reduces, whereas SUV420H2 overexpression significantly increases UCP1 levels in brown adipocytes. Suv420h2 knockout (H2KO mice exhibit impaired cold-induced thermogenesis and are prone to diet-induced obesity. In contrast, mice with specific overexpression of Suv420h2 in adipocytes display enhanced cold-induced thermogenesis and are resistant to diet-induced obesity. Further study showed that Suv420h2 catalyzes H4K20 trimethylation at eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) promoter, leading to down-regulated expression of 4E-BP1, a negative regulator of the translation initiation complex. This in turn up-regulates PGC1α protein levels, which is associated with increased expression of thermogenic program. We conclude that Suv420h2 is a key regulator of brown/beige adipocyte development and thermogenesis.

LncRNAs expression profiling in small extracellular vesicles derived from brown adipose tissue

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is considered as a main site of adaptive thermogenesis and the thermogenic activities of brown and beige adipocytes are also linked to generating heat and counteracting obesity. Recent studies revealed that BAT could secrete certain batokines-like factors especially small extracellular vesicles (sEV), which contributed to the systemic consequences of BAT activities. As a newly emerging class of mediators, some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have exhibited metabolic regulatory effects in adipocyte development. However, besides the well-studied lncRNAs, the lncRNAs carried by sEV derived from brown adipose tissue (sEV-BAT) have not been characterized yet. In this study, we conducted a lncRNA microarray assay on sEV-WAT and sEV-BAT. A total of 563 types of known lncRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed, among which 232 lncRNAs were upregulated and 331 lncRNAs were downregulated in sEV-BAT. Three novel candidates (AK029592, humanlincRNA1030 and ENSMUST00000152284) were selected for further validation. LncRNA–mRNA network analysis revealed candidate lncRNAs were largely embedded in cellular metabolic pathways. During adipogenic and thermogenic phenotype differentiation in ASCs and 3T3-L1 cells, only the expressions of AK029592 were upregulated. The three lncRNAs were all relatively enriched in brown adipose tissues and brown adipocytes. In different adipocytes, sEV and adipose tissue, the expression of AK029592 and ENSMUST00000152284 were significantly decreased in obese mice compared to lean controls, while obesity could not alter the expression of humanlincRNA1030.

PPARg and C/EBPa response to acute cold stress in brown adipose tissue [RNA-seq]

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the ability to burn calories as heat. BAT thermogenesis is an attractive way to combat obesity pandemic. However, the transcriptional network resulting in lipid synthesis to oxidation shift during thermogenesis is not completely understood. Here, we report the regulation of two master regulators of adipogenesis, PPARγ and C/EBPα, during acute cold stress in BAT. We found PPARγ dissociated from DNA in a third of its binding sites and these included cebpa enhancers leading to decreased C/EBPα. This dissociation required PPARγ binding to activating ligands, thus modulated by diet. Meanwhile PPARα also detached from DNA, and co-activator PGC1α associated with ERR1 as part of transcriptional network regulating lipid metabolism. Subsequent global replacement of C/EBPα by C/EBPβ and its associated transcriptional machinery was required for upregulation of structural lipid synthesis despite general upregulation of fatty acid oxidation.

Absence of MCJ/DnaJC15 promotes brown adipose tissue thermogenesis

Project description:Obesity poses a global health challenge, demanding a deeper understanding of adipose tissue (AT) and its mitochondria. This study describes the role of the mitochondrial protein Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ/DnaJC15) in orchestrating brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. Here we show how MCJ expression decreases during obesity, as evident in human and mouse adipose tissue samples. MCJKO mice, even without UCP1, a fundamental thermogenic protein, exhibit elevated BAT thermogenesis. Electron microscopy unveils changes in mitochondrial morphology resembling BAT activation. Proteomic analysis confirms these findings and suggests involvement of the eIF2α mediated stress response. The pivotal role of eIF2α is scrutinized by in vivo CRISPR deletion of eIF2α in MCJKO mice, abrogating thermogenesis. These findings uncover the importance of MCJ as a regulator of BAT thermogenesis, presenting it as a promising target for obesity therapy.
