Transcriptomic profiling of adipose tissue in a mouse model of chronic social isolation-induced glucose metabolism dysfunction

ABSTRACT: Social isolation is a growing global public health concern, associated not only with mental health disorders but also with metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms by which chronic social isolation disrupts glucose homeostasis via sympathetic nervous system activation. To elucidate adipose tissue transcriptional responses under socially isolated conditions, inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) was collected from male C57BL/6J mice subjected to either standard group housing or single housing for 8 weeks (n = 3 per group). Bulk RNA sequencing was performed to characterize differential gene expression. Analysis revealed substantial transcriptional reprogramming in iWAT from isolated mice, including upregulation of thermogenic and lipid metabolic pathways, such as Ucp1, and activation of key transcriptional regulators like Pparg. These findings suggest that social isolation induces sympathetic-driven metabolic remodeling in adipose tissue. The dataset provides valuable insight into how psychosocial stress influences peripheral metabolic gene networks and may contribute to stress-related metabolic disorders.

Exercise Training Remodels Inguinal White Adipose Tissue Through Adaptations in Innervation, Vascularization and the Extracellular Matrix

Project description:Inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) is essential for the beneficial effects of exercise training on metabolic health. The underlying mechanisms for these effects are not fully understood and here, we test the hypothesis that exercise training results in a more favorable iWAT structural phenotype. Using biochemical, imaging, and multi-omics analyses we find that 11-days of wheel running in male mice causes profound iWAT remodeling including decreased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, increased vascularization and innervation. We identify adipose stem cells as one of the main contributors to training-induced ECM remodeling, show that the PRDM16 transcriptional complex is necessary for iWAT remodeling and beiging, and discover neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1) as a link between PRDM16 and neuritogenesis. Moreover, we find that training causes a shift from hypertrophic to insulin-sensitive adipocyte subpopulations. Exercise training leads to remarkable adaptations to iWAT structure and cell-type composition that can confer beneficial changes in tissue metabolism.

Acute social isolation alters synaptic plasticity in lateral habenula and social decision

Project description:The lateral habenula (LHb) is an essential hub brain region modulating the monoamine system such as dopamine, serotonin. Hyperactivity of LHb has implications for psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, which are commonly associated with social dysfunction. However, the role of LHb in social behavior has remained elusive. Here, we find that experiencing acute social isolation affects synaptic function in LHb and social behavior. After acute social isolation, long-term depression (LTD) in LHb is impaired and rescued by activating the 5-HT4 receptor (5-HT4R). Indeed, Htr4 expression in LHb is up-regulated following acute social isolation. Finally, acute social isolation enhances the social preference for familiars such as housing-mates to stranger conspecifics. Consistent with electrophysiological results, pharmacological activation of 5-HT4R in LHb restored innate social preference. These results suggest that acute social isolation influences social decisions with 5-HT4R-dependent synaptic modification in LHb.

Neuregulin 4 mediates the metabolic benefits of mild cold exposure by promoting beige fat thermogenesis

Project description:Interorgan crosstalk via secreted hormones and metabolites is a fundamental aspect of mammalian metabolic physiology. Beyond the highly specialized endocrine cells, peripheral tissues are emerging as an important source of metabolic hormones that influence energy and nutrient metabolism and contribute to disease pathogenesis. Neuregulin 4 (Nrg4) is a fat-derived hormone that protects mice from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and NASH-associated liver cancer by shaping hepatic lipid metabolism and the liver immune microenvironment. Despite its enriched expression in brown fat, whether NRG4 plays a role in thermogenic response and mediates the metabolic benefits of cold exposure remain unexplored. Here we show that Nrg4 expression in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) is highly responsive to chronic cold exposure. Nrg4 deficiency impairs beige fat induction and renders mice more susceptible to diet-induced metabolic disorders under mild cold conditions. Using mice with adipocyte and hepatocyte-specific Nrg4 deletion, we reveal that adipose tissue-derived NRG4, but not hepatic NRG4, is essential for beige fat induction following cold acclimation. Furthermore, treatment with recombinant NRG4-Fc fusion protein promotes beige fat induction in iWAT and improves metabolic health in diet-induced obese mice. These findings highlight a critical role of NRG4 in mediating beige fat induction and preserving metabolic health under mild cold conditions.

Lockdown, caregiving, and antiviral gene regulation in macaques

Project description:Previous research has linked perceived social isolation (loneliness) to reduced antiviral immunity, but the immunologic effects of the objective social isolation imposed by pandemic “shelter in place” (SIP) policies is unknown. We assessed the immunologic impact of SIP by relocating 21 adult male rhesus macaques from 2000 sq-m field cage communities of 70-132 other macaques to 2 wks of individual housing in indoor shelters. SIP was associated with down-regulation of Type I interferon (IFN) antiviral gene expression. This effect emerged within the first 48 hrs of SIP, persisted for at least 2 wks, and abated within 4 wks of return to social housing. A subsequent round of SIP in the presence of a novel juvenile macaque abrogated this effect. These results identify a significant adverse effect of SIP social isolation on antiviral immune regulation in circulating immune cells and they suggest a potential behavioral strategy for ameliorating such effects by promoting pro-social engagement during SIP.

Effects of Tibetan tea consumption on white adipose tissue microenvironment and metabolic network in high-fat diet-fed mice

Project description:Metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, are major public health concerns worldwide. Dietary interventions, such as tea consumption, have been suggested as an effective strategy to prevent and treat metabolic disorders. White adipose tissue, as the main energy storage organ in mammals, plays a critical role in the regulation of whole-body metabolism. Recent studies have shown that the microenvironmental cell composition and metabolic network of white adipose tissue can be modulated by dietary factors, including tea consumption. However, the underlying mechanisms and the effects of tea consumption on white adipose tissue in the context of high-fat diet-induced metabolic disorders are not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of tea consumption on the microenvironmental cell composition and metabolic network of white adipose tissue in high-fat diet-fed mice.

scRNA-seq of stromal vascular cells from 48 week (aged) mouse subcutaneous adipose tissue compared to control 10 week (young) mouse SVF

Project description:Adipose tissue mass and adiposity change throughout the lifespan. During aging, while visceral adipose tissue (VAT) tends to increase, peripheral subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) decreases significantly. Unlike VAT, which is linked to metabolic diseases, SAT has beneficial effects. However, the molecular details behind aging-associated loss of SAT remain unclear. Here we compare scRNA-seq of total SVF of SAT from young and aging mice to identify a novel Aging-dependent Regulatory Cell (ARC) that emerges in SAT of aged mice. Inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) was used as a representative SAT; iWAT pads of 2 mice from each age group were subjected to collagenase digestion and treated with a hypotonic buffer to remove red blood cells before subjection to scRNA-seq by 10X Genomics Chromium Single Cell Kit. The findings showed that ARCs express adipogenic markers but lack adipogenic capacity and inhibit differentiation of neighboring adipose precursors.

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.

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.

Effect of exosomes dervied from different adipose tissue on gene expression in 3T3L1 cells under high-low fat diet conditions

Project description:Exosomes derived from adipose tissues (AT-Exos) have been identified as a crucialmedium in the transmission of information from adipose tissue to itself and to other organs, including exosomes derived from inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT-Exos), visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT-Exos) and brown adipose tissue (BAT-Exos). However, the functional differences in depot-specific AT-Exos under obese conditions remain elusive. Here we reported that AT-Exos participated in regulating adipocyte inflammation and metabolic homeostasis. Notably, vWAT-Exos play a critical role in promoting lipid accumulation and inflammation in the development of obesity. Although both are derived from “energy storage” WAT, the biological effects exhibited by iWAT-Exos are far different from those vWAT-Exos. Especially under diet-induced obesity conditions, iWAT-Exos appeared to be BAT-Exo-like, exhibiting an “energy expending” type. Altogether, our data indicated that AT-Exos from different depots have distinct functions and effects on adipocytes metabolism.

T cells and adipocyte IL-17RC control fat innervation and thermogenesis

Project description:The sympathetic nervous system innervates peripheral organs to regulate their function and maintain homeostasis, whereas target cells also produce neurotrophic factors to promote sympathetic innervation1,2. The molecular basis of this bi-directional communication is unknown. Here we use thermogenic adipose tissue from mice as a model system to show that T cells, specifically T cells, have a crucial role in promoting sympathetic innervation, at least in part by driving the expression of TGF1 in parenchymal cells via the IL-17 receptor complex (IL-17RC). Ablation of IL-17RC specifically in adipose tissue reduces expression of TGF1 in adipocytes, impairs local sympathetic innervation and causes obesity and other metabolic phenotypes that are consistent with defective thermogenesis; innervation can be fully rescued by restoring TGF1 expression. Ablating cells and the IL-17RC signalling pathway also impairs sympathetic innervation in salivary glands and the lungs. These findings demonstrate coordination between T cells and parenchymal cells to regulate sympathetic innervation.
