Regulation of Redox Homeostasis by ATF4-MTHFD2 Axis during White Adipose Tissue Browning

ABSTRACT: Maintaining redox balance is crucial for mitochondrial homeostasis. During browning of white adipocytes, both the quality and quantity of mitochondria undergo dramatic changes. However, the mechanisms controlling the redox balance in the mitochondria during this process remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that thermogenic activation occurs before mitochondrial biogenesis during cold-induced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and is accompanied by increased mitochondrial stress and integrated stress response (ISR) signaling. Specifically, cold exposure enhances the expression of ATF4, an ISR effector. Adipocyte-specific deletion of ATF4 results in increased energy expenditure, but paradoxically leads to a lower core body temperature, and heightened pro-inflammation in iWAT after cold exposure, which is restored by the antioxidant, MitoQ. Mechanistically, ATF4 regulates the redox balance through MTHFD2, an enzyme involved in mitochondrial redox homeostasis by NADPH generation. Cold exposure upregulates MTHFD2 expression in an ATF4-dependent manner, and its inhibition by DS18561882 in vivo leads to impaired cold- induced mitochondrial respiration similar to the effects of ATF4 loss. These findings suggest that ATF4 is essential for redox balance via MTHFD2, thereby affecting tissue homeostasis during iWAT browning.

ATF4 mediates cold-induced adipose tissue browning by regulating MTHFD2 expression

Project description:In mammals, adaptation to cold environments involves browning of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) to enhance adaptive thermogenesis and maintain body temperature. Immune cells that reside in the adipose tissue are involved in iWAT browning. However, the mechanism by which thermogenesis regulates immune cell composition remains elusive. Here, we revealed that cold-induced activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is necessary for maintaining the immune cell composition and supporting iWAT browning. ATF4 and integrated stress response-related genes were highly expressed in iWAT following acute cold exposure. Mice lacking ATF4 exhibited less cold-induced iWAT browning and lower CL316,243-induced oxygen consumption. Mechanistically, the depletion of ATF4 leads to the accumulation of mitochondrial oxidative stress due to the reduction of MTHFD2, a mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism enzyme that contributes to the maintenance of the mitochondrial redox balance. This leads to higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and shifts in adipose tissue macrophage polarization. Together, our findings highlight the critical role of ATF4 in maintaining oxidative stress and adipose tissue inflammatory signaling, thus supporting iWAT browning.

Genome wide binding of ATF4 and CEBPG bZIP transcription factors in MEFs under amino acid deprived (AAD) conditions

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) controls cellular adaptations to nutrient deprivation, redox imbalances and ER stress. ISR genes are upregulated in stressed cells, primarily by the bZIP transcription factor ATF4 through its recruitment to cis-regulatory C/EBP:ATF response elements (CAREs) together with a dimeric partner of uncertain identity. Here we show that C/EBPÎ³:ATF4 heterodimers, but not C/EBPÎ²:ATF4 dimers, are the predominant CARE binding species in stressed cells. C/EBPÎ³ and ATF4 associate with genomic CAREs in a mutually-dependent manner and co-regulate many ISR genes. By contrast, the C/EBP family members C/EBPÎ² and CHOP were largely dispensable for induction of stress genes. Cebpgâ/â MEFs proliferate poorly and exhibit oxidative stress due to reduced glutathione levels and impaired expression of several glutathione biosynthesis pathway genes. Cebpgâ/â mice (C57BL/6 background) display reduced body size and microphthalmia, similar to ATF4-null animals. In addition, C/EBPÎ³-deficient newborns die from atelectasis and respiratory failure which can be mitigated by in utero exposure to the anti-oxidant, N-acetyl-cysteine. Cebpgâ/â mice on a mixed strain background show improved viability but, upon aging, develop significantly fewer malignant solid tumors compared to WT animals. Our findings identify C/EBPÎ³ as a novel anti-oxidant regulator and an obligatory ATF4 partner that controls redox homeostasis in normal and cancerous cells.

Single Cell RNA Profiling Reveals Adipocyte to Macrophage Signaling Sufficient to Enhance Thermogenesis

Project description:Adipocytes deficient in fatty acid synthase (iAdFASNKO) emit signals that mimic cold exposure to enhance the appearance of thermogenic beige adipocytes in mouse inguinal white adipose tissues (iWAT). Both cold- and iAdFASNKO-induced iWAT “browning” pathways upregulate the sympathetic nerve fiber (SNF) modulator Nrg4 and activate SNFs adjacent to beige adipocytes. Adipocyte cAMP/protein kinase A signaling is necessary for beige adipocyte appearance, as we show here it is blocked in Gsa deficient cold exposed or iAdFASNKO mice. Surprisingly however, denervation of iWAT failed to block adipocyte browning in iAdFASNKO mice, as it does in cold-exposed mice. Similarly, Nrg4 deficiency markedly reduced iWAT UCP1 in the cold, but not in double FASN/Nrg4 KO mice. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of iWAT stromal cells revealed increased macrophages displaying gene expression signatures of the alternately activated type in iAdFASNKO mice, and their depletion abrogated iWAT beiging. Altogether, these findings reveal divergent cellular pathways are sufficient to cause adipocyte browning. Importantly, adipocyte signaling to enhance alternatively activated macrophages in iAdFASNKO mice is associated with enhanced adipose thermogenesis independent of the sympathetic neuron involvement this process requires in the cold.

Multi-omics analysis identifies ATF4 as a key regulator of the mitochondrial stress response in mammals

Project description:Mitonuclear communication is essential to maintain cellular and organismal homeostasis in equilibrium and stress. Mitochondrial stress activates a concerted mitonuclear response geared to safeguard and repair mitochondrial function and to adapt cellular metabolism to the stress. However, the common mediator driving this stress response in mammals remains elusive. By using a multi-omics approach we identify that the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is the main player regulating this response. ATF4 activates the expression of cytoprotective genes, which reprogram cellular metabolism, through activation of the integrated stress response (ISR). Mitochondrial stress also promotes a local proteostatic response, by inducing a decrease in mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, inhibiting mitochondrial translation and coupling as such the activation of the ISR with the attenuation of mitochondrial function. Our data illustrate the value of a multi-omics approach to characterize complex cellular networks and provide a versatile resource to identify new regulators of mitochondrial-related diseases.

Coenzyme Q regulates UCP1 expression and thermogenesis through the integrated stress responses

Project description:Coenzyme Q is an essential component of mitochondrial function and required for thermogenic activity in brown adipose tissues (BAT). BAT CoQ deficiency (50-75%) by genetic or pharmacological means does not interfere with basal or maximal mitochondrial respiration in brown adipocytes but increases mitochondrial oxidants and induces UPRmt, ISR, and repression of UCP1 expression. ATF4, the master regulator of ISR, is required for UCP1 suppression in BAT CoQ deficiency. In animals, BAT CoQ deficiency causes cold intolerance but activates compensatory thermogenic mechanisms in BAT and other tissues via greatly induced BAT FGF21 expression resulting in paradoxically upregulated whole-body respiration rates and protection from obesity at room temperature and thermoneutrality. BAT-specific loss of either ATF4 or FGF21 abolishes these metabolic benefits demonstrating a central role for CoQ in the modulation of whole-body energy expenditure and thus for the etiology of primary and secondary CoQ deficiencies.
