White and Brown Adipose Tissue Share a Convergent Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitor Population

ABSTRACT: Adipose tissue heterogeneity has emerged as a central factor in regulating adipose tissue function in physiology and pathophysiology, yet tools to model and study this diversity in vitro remain limited. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on cultured primary white and brown preadipocytes to assess how in vitro conditions impact progenitor identity. We identified two major subpopulations in both depots: committed adipogenic precursors (CAPs) and fibro-adipogenic progenitor-like cells (FAPLs). Remarkably, FAPLs were also present in brown adipose tissue, expanding the known landscape of progenitor populations in this depot. Trajectory and regulon analyses revealed that both white and brown FAPLs exhibit similar pro-fibrotic, stress-responsive signatures and diverge early from proliferating progenitor states. Integration of datasets showed that FAPLs from both depots cluster together, emphasizing their conserved identity, while CAPs remain depot-specific. Comparison to previously published in vivo single-cell datasets revealed that these in vitro populations, including brown adipose FAPLs, correspond to adipose-resident progenitor subtypes, validating the physiological relevance of this model for studying adipose tissue heterogeneity and development.

Human adipose stem and progenitor cells across brown and white depots split into Adipogenic and SWAT cells during early differentiation

Project description:Human adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs) develop into heterogenous cultures of adipogenic and Structural Wnt-regulated Adipose Tissue resident (SWAT) cells upon induction of adipogenic differentiation. In vitro proliferating ASPC and differentiating adipocytes were collected from multiple timepoints to identify the trajectory of cells. Cells from two white depots (subcutaneous abdominal & visceral abdominal) and two brown depots (supraclavicular & perirenal) were used for the study. Progenitors from all 4 depots show similar differentiation trajectories during early differentiation.

Analysis of gene expression patterns in brown adipose tissue

Project description:Brown adipose tissue is a specialized fat tissue involved in heat generation by using a process termed thermogenesis. This ability to convert nutrient energy into heat sets brown adipocytes apart from the more common type of white adipocytes, which are mainly involved in energy storage. Brown adipose depots occur as a large interscapular depot in mice. Brown adipocytes are multilocular, i.e. contain many small lipid-filled vacuoles and uniquely express the uncoupling protein 1. In this study, the gene expression patterns in brown adipose tissue samples of young, healthy mice was analyzed.

Microarray miRNA expression analysis of white and brown adipose tissue depots from mice exposed to cold or room temperature

Project description:In the last decades, adipose tissue has been defined to play a central role in the control of energy balance. Furthermore, the proven endocrine and thermogenic functions of adipocytes have renewed interest in the study of this tissue, as the activation of non-shivering thermogenesis may hold great potential for the future treatment of obesity and T2D. Cold exposure has defined to activate this process. Here, the miRNA transcriptomic response of epididymal and inguinal white adipose depots (eWAT and iWAT, respectively) as well as that of the interscapular brown adipose depot (iBAT) of C57Bl/6 mice either exposed to 22ºC or 4ºC for the period of 4 days were examined. This in-detail study of the adaptation of each depot to cold exposure has allowed unraveling depot-specific regulatory molecular mechanisms.

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.

TGF-b/Smad3 inhibition synergizes with PPARg agonism to reduce fibrosis and enhance functional beige adipogenesis

Project description:Adipose tissue depots vary markedly in their ability to store and metabolize triglycerides, undergo beige adipogenesis and be susceptibile to metabolic disease. The molecular mechanisms that underlie such heterogeneity are not entirely clear. Previously, we showed that TGF-b signaling regulates the browning of white adipose tissue via recruitment of dedicated beige progenitors. Here, we find that TGF-b signals dynamically regulate the balance between adipose tissue fibrosis and beige adipogenesis. Elevated basal and high-fat diet inducible activation of TGF-b/Smad3 signaling was observed in the visceral (epididymal) adipose tissue depot. Activation of TGF-b/Smad3 signaling was associated with increased adipose tissue fibrosis. RNA-seq combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting of stromal vascular fraction of epididymal white adipose tissue depot resulted in identification of TGF-b/Smad3 regulated ITGA5+ fibrogenic progenitors. TGF-b/Smad3 signal inhibition, genetically or pharmacologically, reduced fibrosis and increased functional beige adipogenesis. TGF-b/Smad3 antagonized the beneficial effects of PPARγ , activation whereas TGF-b receptor 1 inhibition synergized with actions of rosiglitazone, a PPARγ agonist, to dampen fibrosis and promote beige adipogenesis. There was a positive correlation between TGF-b activation and levels of fibrosis marker, ITGA5, in human adipose tissue samples , with visceral (omental) adipose tissue depot exhibiting higher fibrosis potential than subcutaneous or brown adipose tissue depots. Taken together, out data provide TGF-b/Smad3 signaling operates at the nexus of adipose tissue fibrosis and functional beige adipogenesis.

Human subcutaneous adipose tissue and perithyroid adipose tissue gene expression

Project description:Different human adipose tissue depots may have functional differences. Subcutaneous human adipose tissue has been extensively studied, but less is known about other depots. Perithyroid (PT) adipose tissue contains not only white adipocytes but also brown adipocytes. The aim of this study was to compare the expression of brown adipocyte containing perithyroid adipose tissue with s.c. adipose tissue.role in the development of obesity. Expression profiling of adipose tissue may give insights into mechanisms contributing to obesity and obesity-related disorders.

Transcriptomics to discover splice variants involved in the browning of adipose tissue

Project description:Adipose tissue is the major depot for energy storage. Recent studies have shown that at least three types of adipocytes can be distinguished depending on their anatomical locations : 1) The classic brown adipocytes, i.e., brown adipose tissue (BAT); 2) The 'brite' (brown-in-white) adipocytes, i.e. inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT); 3) The 'true' white adipocytes, i.e., epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT). Two strains of mice (SV129 and C57BL/6J) were used in this study. SV strain is resistant to obesity and latter is prone to obesity. Pre-adipocyte cells were isolated from subcutaneous tissue (iWAT) to create four groups of cell cultures per strain of mouse.
