Adipocyte RNA-binding protein CELF1 promotes beiging of white fat through stabilizing Dio2 mRNA

ABSTRACT: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate diverse cellular processes at post-transcriptional level and play roles in adipocyte development. However, their involvement in the beiging of white fat remains unclear. Here we screened RBPs in inguinal adipose tissues in response to cold stimulation and identified CUG-BP Elav-like family member 1 (CELF1) as a novel regulator that promotes white fat beiging. Adipocyte-specific Celf1 deficiency impairs cold-induced beiging and reduces energy expenditure. Mechanistically, RNA immunoprecipitation RNA-seq (RIP-seq) and functional experiments revealed that CELF1 stabilizes the mRNA of the key thermogenic regulator Dio2 by binding to its 3'UTR, thereby promoting local triiodothyronine (T3) production. CELF1 augments isoproterenol-induced activation of beige adipocytes and increases mitochondria respiration capacity in vitro, and CELF1 overexpression ameliorates diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Hence, our study identifies CELF1 as a physiological regulator of metabolic stress in activating thermogenesis and promoting energy expenditure at the post-transcriptional level, suggesting that targeting CELF1 to locally increase the T3 production may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for combating obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Adipocyte YTH N(6)-methyladenosine RNA-binding protein 1 protects against obesity by promoting white adipose tissue beiging in male mice

Project description:Obesity, one of the most serious public health issues, is caused by energy imbalance of energy intake and expenditure. N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been recently identified as a key regulator of obesity, while the detailed mechanism is elusive. Here, we found that YTH RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1), an m6A reader, acts as an essential regulator of white adipose tissue metabolism. The expression of YTHDF1 decreased in adipose tissue of mice fed a high-fat diet. Adipocyte-specific Ythdf1 deficiency exacerbated obesity-induced metabolic defects and inhibited beiging of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) in mice. By contrast, mice with WAT-specific Ythdf1 overexpression were resistant to obesity and showed promotion of beiging. Mechanistically, YTHDF1 regulated the translation of diverse m6A-modified mRNAs. In particular, YTHDF1 facilitated the translation of bone morphogenetic protein 8b (Bmp8b) in an m6A-dependent manner to induce the beiging process. Together, these findings suggested that YTHDF1 may be an attractive therapeutic target for the management of obesity-associated diseases.

mRNA profiles of Celf1fl/fl and adipocyte-specific Celf1 deficiency (Celf1fl/fl AKO) in iWAT after acute cold stimulation

Project description:RNA-seq reveals the critical role of adipocyte Celf1 in cold-responsive thermogenic remodeling in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT). The cold-induced thermogenic program in iWAT was severely blunted in Celf1AKO mice, especially the obvious downregulation of Ucp1, Dio2, Elvol3, Tbx1, Cox7a1, and Cidea genes. The GO analysis revealed that the down-regulated genes were primarily involved in adaptive thermogenesis, temperature homeostasis, and mitochondrial-related processes, including lipid oxidation, fatty acid metabolism and so on. KEGG pathway analysis further showed that these down-regulated genes were involved in thermogenesis-related pathways, including thermogenesis, PPAR signaling, metabolic pathways, fatty acid degradation, and AMPK signaling. Together, these results suggest that adipocyte Celf1 deficiency impairs cold-induced iWAT thermogenic program.

RNA-seq of cold stimulated inguinal fat of wild type and Rarres2-/- mice

Project description:Although various stimuli and mediators have been identified to promote thermogenic beige fat development, less is known about the negative regulator of cold-induced beiging. We here show that lack of chemerin that is highly expressed in white adipose tissue or its receptor CMKLR1 in adipocytes enhances cold-induced beiging and thermogenesis. Our results reveal a previously unrecognized beige-inhibitory role of chemerin-CMKLR1 axis, and suggests CMKLR1 as a therapeutic target for obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Hyaluronan mediates cold-induced adipose tissue beiging

Project description:Adipose tissue beiging refers to a process through which beige adipocytes emerge in classical white adipose tissue depots. Beige adipocytes dissipate chemical energy and secrete adipokines like classical brown adipocytes to improve systemic metabolism, which offers benefits for people with obesity and metabolic diseases. Cold exposure and β3-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist treatment are two commonly used stimuli for increasing beige adipocytes in mice, but their underlying biological processes are different. Transcriptional analysis of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) has revealed that changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) pathway genes are specific to cold exposure. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a non-sulfated linear polysaccharide produced by nearly all cells, is one of the most common components of ECM. We found that cold exposure significantly increases iWAT HA levels while β3-AR agonist CL316,243 fails to do so. Increasing HA level in iWAT by Has2 overexpression significantly increases cold-induced adipose tissue beiging; in contrast, decreasing HA by Spam1 overexpression, which encodes a hyaluronidase that digests HA, significantly decreases cold-induced iWAT beiging. All of these data implicate a role of HA in promoting adipose tissue beiging that is unique to cold exposure. Given the failure of β3-AR agonists in clinical trials for obesity and metabolic diseases, increasing HA could serve as a new approach to recruiting more beige adipocytes to combat metabolic diseases.

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.

RNA-sequence analysis of JMJD1A target genes in subcutanous white adipose tissue.

Project description:Mitochondria play a vital role in non-shivering thermogenesis in both brown and subcutaneous white adipose tissues (BAT and scWAT, respectively). However, specific regulatory mechanisms driving mitochondrial function in these tissues have been unclear. Here we demonstrate that prolonged activation of β-adrenergic signaling induces epigenetic modifications in scWAT, specifically targeting the enhancers for the mitochondria master regulator genes Pgc1a/b. This is mediated at least partially through JMJD1A, a histone demethylase that in response to β-adrenergic signals, facilitates H3K9 demethylation of the Pgc1a/b enhancers, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and the formation of beige adipocytes. Disruption of demethylation activity of JMJD1A in mice impairs activation of Pgc1a/b driven mitochondrial biogenesis and limits scWAT beiging, contributing to reduced energy expenditure, obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic disorders. Notably, JMJD1A demethylase activity is not required for Pgc1a/b dependent thermogenic capacity of BAT especially during acute cold stress, emphasizing the importance of scWAT thermogenesis in overall energy metabolism.
