Effects of ASH2L deficiency on the differentiation and thermogenic capacity of primary adipocytes

ABSTRACT: Adipocyte development and thermogenesis are tightly regulated by epigenetic mechanisms, which may represent potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders such as obesity. In this study, we identified Ash2l, a core component of the COMPASS histone methyltransferase complex, as a critical regulator that promotes adipogenesis and thermogenesis. Our ChIP-seq analysis revealed that Ash2l exerts its function by modulating the expression of genes marked by broad Ash2l peaks near transcription start sites, many of which are closely associated with adipogenesis and thermogenic processes.

Blocking YY1 in adipocytes decouples thermogenic capacity from metabolic benefits by generating spermidine

Project description:Traditional ideas hold that the accumulation of mitochondria in thermogenic adipose tissue, namely brown and beige fat, helps to increase energy expenditure (EE), thereby alleviating obesity and metabolic disorders. However, recent studies in mice have shown that knocking out key proteins that maintain mitochondrial function can inhibit the activation of thermogenic fat while somehow protecting the mice from high-fat diet (HFD)–induced metabolic disorders. Therefore, the specific role of adipose mitochondria in metabolic benefits needs further analysis. Here, our use of non-biased sequencing-based screening identified YY1 as a key player in maintaining mitochondrial function in thermogenic adipose tissue. YY1 promotes the transcription of electron transport chain (ETC) genes during thermogenesis; thus, YY1 adipose knockout (YAKO) mice showed reduced body temperature and EE under cold stress. Interestingly, YAKO mice showed alleviation of HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance, which can be attributed to a repression of adipose tissue inflammation. Metabolomic analysis revealed that blocking YY1 in adipocytes directs glucose metabolism toward lactate, enhances the uptake of glutamine, and promotes the production of anti-inflammatory spermidine. Blocking spermidine production can reverse the beneficial metabolic effects observed in YAKO mice. In summary, our findings reveal a metabolic reprogramming pathway centered on adipose mitochondria; that is, although blocking YY1 reduced the mitochondria content, it generated spermidine and alleviated adipose inflammation, therefore leads to a thermogenic capacity-metabolic benefits uncoupling phenomenon.

A subpopulation of lipogenic brown adipocytes drives thermogenic memory [snRNAseq]

Project description:Sustained responses to transient stimuli are important for animals to survive and reproduce in their environment. However, the mechanisms that underlie altered responses to temporary shifts in abiotic factors, such as temperature, remain poorly understood. Here, we find that transient cold exposure leads to sustained transcriptional and metabolic adaptations in brown adipose tissue, which are critical for an improved thermogenic response to secondary cold encounter. Primary thermogenic challenge triggers the delayed induction of a lipid biosynthesis program even after cessation of the original stimulus, which protects from subsequent exposures. By combining single-nucleus RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and immunofluorescence imaging, we discover that this lipogenic response is carried out by a distinct subpopulation of brown adipocytes that is localized along the perimeter of classical Ucp1high brown adipocytes. The protective effect of the lipogenic program is associated with the production of acyl carnitines, and supplementation of acyl carnitines recapitulates improved secondary cold responses even in the absence of lipogenesis. Overall, our data highlight the importance of heterogenous brown adipocyte populations for “thermogenic memory” in the setting of repeated cold exposure, which may have implications for therapeutic efforts leveraging short-term thermogenesis to counteract the hypercaloric state of obesity.

Vector and Brown fat lncRNA 1 (Blnc1) expressing differentiated brown adipocytes

Project description:Blnc1 is a novel nuclear lncRNA that promotes brown and beige adipocyte differentiation and function. Blnc1 forms a ribonucleoprotein complex with transcription factor EBF2 to stimulate the thermogenic gene program. Further, Blnc1 itself is a target of EBF2, thereby forming a feedforward regulatory loop to drive adipogenesis toward thermogenic phenotype. We used microarrays to elucidate the role of Blnc1 on brown adipocyte differentiation and the induction of the thermogenic gene program. Brown adipocytes expressing vector or brown fat lncRNA 1 (blnc1) were differentiated for 6 days and harvested for RNA isolation and microarray using Affymetrix Mouse MG-430 PM Strip arrays. Two replicated samples were included in this study.

Characterization of a mitochondria associated phosphocreatine phosphatase in thermogenic adipocytes

Project description:Adaptive thermogenesis has attracted much attention because of its ability to raise systemic energy expenditure and counter obesity and diabetes. Recent data have indicated that thermogenic fat cells utilize creatine to stimulate futile substrate cycling, dissipating chemical energy as heat. This model was based on the super-stoichiometric relationship between creatine added to mitochondria and O2 consumed, and this project aims at providing direct evidence for the molecular basis of this futile creatine cycling activity. In this project, we found that thermogenic fat cells contain robust phosphocreatine hydrolase (PCr’ase) activity, attributable to tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), which was identified by the quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of a purified mitochondrial protein fraction containing the PCr’ase activity. TNAP hydrolyzes phosphocreatine to initiate a futile cycle of creatine dephosphorylation and phosphorylation; it is localized to mitochondria of thermogenic fat cells, where the futile creatine cycling occurs. Furthermore, we demonstrated in this project the essential role of TNAP in activating the futile creatine cycling and increasing whole body energy expenditure using genetic and pharmacological approaches. We also found that the genetic depletion of TNAP in murine adipose tissue causes rapid-onset obesity, with no change in movement or feeding behavior of the animals. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we showed that genetic depletion of TNAP causes an upregulation of UCP1, as well as other proteins involved in oxidative metabolism, to compensate for a dampened thermogenesis. In summary, the data we acquired in this project illustrate the critical role of TNAP as a phosphocreatine phosphatase in the futile creatine cycling and adipose thermogenesis.

Genetic deletion of RUNX1 or RUNX2 in adipocytes enhanced beige fat formation [ChIP-Seq; CUT&Tag]

Project description:RUNX1 and RUNX2 repress thermogenic gene expression by directly binding to their regulatory genomic regions, thereby acting as key transcriptional repressors of adipocyte thermogenesis. Furthermore, RUNX1 preferentially interacts with HDAC1 to modulate thermogenic gene expression.

Genetic deletion of RUNX1 or RUNX2 in adipocytes enhanced beige fat formation

Project description:RUNX1/2 overexpression suppresses critical functions associated with brown adipocyte biology, particularly thermogenesis and cellular respiration. Conversely, deletion of RUNX1 or RUNX2 led to a significant increase in cellular temperature, with DKO cells showing the greatest temperature increase.These findings indicate that RUNX1/2 act as negative regulators of thermogenic adipocyte differentiation and actively suppress the thermogenic gene program and function.

Mouse Vascularized Adipose Spheroids: An Organotypic Model for Thermogenic Adipocytes

Project description:Adipose tissues, particularly beige and brown adipose tissue, play crucial roles in energy metabolism. Brown adipose tissues’ thermogenic capacity and the appearance of beige cells within white adipose tissue have spurred interest in their metabolic impact and therapeutic potential. Brown and beige fat cells, activated by factors like cold exposure, share mechanisms that drive non-shivering thermogenesis. Understanding their behavior requires sophisticated, yet universal in vitro models that replicate the complex microenvironment and vasculature of adipose tissues. Here we present mouse vascularized adipose spheroids of the stromal vascular microenvironment from inguinal white adipose tissue. We show that scaffold embedding improves vascular sprouting, enhances spheroid growth, and upregulates adipogenic markers. Transcriptional profiling via RNA sequencing revealed distinct metabolic pathways upregulated in our vascularized adipose spheroids, with increased expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and thermogenesis. Functional assessment demonstrated increased oxygen consumption in vascularized adipose spheroids compared to 2D cultures, which was further enhanced by β-adrenergic receptor stimulation via isoproterenol correlating with elevated β-adrenergic receptor expression. Moreover, stimulation with the naturally occurring adipokine, FGF21, induced Ucp1 mRNA expression in the vascularized adipose spheroids. In conclusion, our vascularized inguinal white adipose tissue spheroids provide a physiologically relevant platform to study how the stromal vascular microenvironment shapes adipocyte responses and influence activated thermogenesis in beige adipocytes.
