SOX9 is part of a combinatorial marker that reveals early development and embryological origins of the mouse brown adipose tissue depots

ABSTRACT: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a mammalian thermogenic tissue that helps to maintain body temperature and provides other important metabolic functions. Most brown adipocytes are located in structures called depots including the interscapular (iBAT), scapular (sBAT), and cervical (cBAT) depots. BAT depots arise from embryonic structures called somites, but their development is incompletely understood. Here, scRNA-seq was applied to whole-trunk tissue from axial levels where the three major BAT depots are located in order to profile the transcriptome of brown adipocyte progenitors as well as other lineages derived from somites and lateral plate mesoderm. The range of timepoints was chosen to profile brown adipocyte progenitors from early lineage segregation, as observed by a combination of markers including Sox9 at E11.5, to E13.5 when depots are morphologically identifiable and brown pre-adipocyte markers are expressed.

Transcriptomic profiling of adipocytes in response to cold reveals unique properties of Cxcl12 as a brown adipocyte secreted chemokine

Project description:Beyond its thermogenic potential, brown adipose tissue (BAT) performs important endocrine functions that regulate metabolism. However, the BAT microenvironment and the factors involved in BAT homeostasis and adaptation to cold remain poorly characterized. We therefore aimed to study secreted factors from active brown adipocytes that may be involved in adipocyte function and/or may orchestrate inter-cellular communications. For this, mRNA levels in mature adipocytes of brown, beige and white adipose depots from mice exposed to 21 days of cold were evaluated using RNA sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis was used to predict for potentially secreted factors. Cxcl12 was found to be the most cold-induced C-X-C chemokine in BAT, and Cxcl12 mRNA expression analysis by qPCR and fluorescence in-situ hybridization revealed its enrichment in brown adipocytes upon cold. Cold increased CXCL12 secretion from BAT, yet its level in plasma remained unchanged indicating a potential local action. Cxcl12 knockdown in mature brown adipocytes impaired thermogenesis, estimated by norepinephrine (NE)-induced Ucp1 gene expression, glycerol release and mitochondrial respiration despite unaltered β-adrenergic signaling, suggesting Cxcl12 regulates adipocyte function independently from the β-adrenergic pathway. Importantly, unaltered adipocyte characteristics upon Cxcl12 loss may indicate CXCL12 primarily regulates the NE-induced adipocyte activation. Furthermore, CXCL12 might exert inter-cellular crosstalk via its capacity to promote macrophage chemotaxis and neurite outgrowth. Here we present CXCL12 as a novel brown adipocyte, cold-induced secreted factor involved in adipocyte function and inter-cellular crosstalk within BAT.

Effects of PCB 52 Exposure Via Sub-Acute Nose-Only Inhalation on Gene Expression in Fat Depots of Adolescent Rats

Project description:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental toxicants that pose a variety of health risks in humans. PCB 52 has been found in the indoor air of schools where adolescent students and staff are being actively exposed. This study examined the three different fat depots, namely, brown adipose tissue (BAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT), of adolescent Sprague-Dawley rats after sub-acute exposure to PCB 52 via nose-only inhalation. Rats were exposed for 4 hours daily for 28 consecutive days. RNA extracted from both male and female fat depots were submitted for RNA sequencing to compare the effects of PCB 52 on the expression of genes in the fat depots.

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.

Proteomic analysis of adipose depots after intermittent fasting reveals visceral fat preservation mechanisms

Project description:Objectives Intermittent fasting is an effective dietary intervention to combat metabolic disease. Here, we explore the adipose depot specific response to every-other-day fasting (EODF) in mice to identify mechanisms that underly the beneficial effects. Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were placed on a 12-day EODF or ad libitum diet, after which tissues were harvested including visceral (vWAT) and subcutaneous (scWAT) white adipose tissue, as well as brown adipose tissue (BAT), which was then analysed by unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Results After EODF treatment, pathway enrichment analysis of our dataset showed that both WAT depots showed increased mitochondrial protein content, with scWAT also showing increased UCP1, but mitochondrial protein content was decreased in BAT. This effect on mitochondria is correlated to the increased abundance of proteins involved in glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, the TCA cycle and fatty acid synthesis in both WAT depots. Furthermore, EODF-treated mice downregulated the lipolysis pathway in vWAT including a 5-fold decrease in the abundance of the beta3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3). Enrichment analysis lso revealed that vWAT of EODF treated mice had significantly reduced ECM proteins, which lowers the inflammatory potential of this organ. Our adipose depot proteomic survey also allowed us to identify depot-enriched protein expression, such as the vWAT enrichment for the AKAP12 protein related to PKA signalling that was down-regulated by EODF treatment. Conclusions These findings show how the adipose depots have adapted to the EODF regime to preserve the lipid store, with the most striking changes occurring in the vWAT depot to downregulate the lipolysis pathway and induce expression of pathways needed for fatty acid synthesis. This substrate cycling and reduced inflammatory potential of the adipose tissue may contribute to the improved insulin sensitivity observed in these animals.

iBAT total RNA profiles of wild type C57BL/6N mice exposed to cold and high fat diet

Project description:Cold and nutrient activated brown adipose tissue (BAT) is capable of increasing systemic energy expenditure via uncoupled respiration and secretion of endocrine factors thereby protecting mice against diet-induced obesity and improving insulin response and glucose tolerance in men. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been identified as fine tuning regulators of cellular function. While certain lncRNAs have been functionally characterised in adipose tissue, their overall contribution in the activation of BAT remains elusive. We identified lncRNAs correlating to inter- scapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) function in high fat diet (HFD) and cold stressed mice. We focused on Gm15551 which has an adipose tissue specific expression profile, is highly upregulated during adipogenesis and downregulated by β-adrenergic activation in mature adipocytes. Albeit we performed comprehensive transcriptional and adipocyte physiology profiling in vitro and in vivo, we could not detect an effect of gain or loss of function of Gm15551.
