S-nitrosoglutathione reductase GSNOR drives age-related obesity by promoting adipose tissue whitening through de-nitrosation of Beclin-1

ABSTRACT: Age-related obesity is a growing public health concern linked to various metabolic disorders, yet its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we report that S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), a pivotal denitrosation enzyme, increases in adipose tissue of both male mice and humans from middle-age. GSNOR knockout protects against age-related weight gain and enhances metabolism, whereas adipose-specific GSNOR knock-in mice promotes obesity and metabolic decline. Further investigation reveals that aged GSNOR KO mice maintain higher mitochondrial content and more beige adipocytes, whereas adipose-specific GSNOR overexpression promotes adipose tissue whitening. Mechanistically, GSNOR denitrosates Beclin-1 at cysteine 351 and mutation of this site (Beclin-1C351A) increases autophagy by enhancing Beclin-1 and ATG14 interaction, thereby accelerating beige-to-white adipocyte conversion. Together, our findings reveal that GSNOR regulates adipose tissue remodeling during aging through Beclin-1 S-nitrosation, pointing to a potential therapeutic target for age-related obesity.

GSNOR drives age-related obesity by promoting adipose tissue whitening through de-nitrosation of Beclin-1

Project description:Age-related obesity is a growing public health concern since it contributes to a multitude of metabolic disorders, yet its mechanisms remain poorly defined. Herein, we report that S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), a pivotal enzyme for de-nitrosation, significantly increased in adipose tissues in both naturally middle-aged mice and human. Knocking out (KO) GSNOR in mice leads to weight reduction, diminished adipose mass and improved metabolism, while adipose tissue-specific overexpression of GSNOR (KI) results in obesity and metabolism decline. Further study showed that aged GSNOR KO mice had higher mitochondrial content and beige adipocytes, but adipose-specific GSNOR overexpression promoted adipose tissue whitening. Quantitative S-nitrosation proteomic analysis indicate S-nitrosation of Beclin-1 at cysteine 351 decreased significantly in aging mice and GSNOR KI mice. Beclin-1C351A mutation promoted autophagy by facilitating the interaction between Beclin-1 and ATG14, thereby accelerating the conversion of beige to white adipocytes. Notably, age-related obesity is abrogated by specific knocking down GSNOR in adipose tissue. This study reveals a new mechanism and a novel therapeutic avenue for managing age-related obesity.

Beclin-1 is dispensable for chromosome congression and proper outer kinetochore assembly

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN) is defined by the propensity to acquire structural and/or numerical aberration in the normal cellular karyotype and is often associated with cancer. Autophagy is a catabolic process that leads to the recycling of cellular components that may positively or negatively impact on cancer development and progression, depending on the context. Recent work postulated that the depletion of the pro-autophagic and tumor suppressive protein Beclin 1 triggers CIN by interfering with mitotic chromosome segregation, providing a possible mechanism for how Beclin 1 can act as a tumor suppressor (Fremont et al., PMID: 23478334). Here, we present data supporting the notion that the phenotypes described in Fremont et al., depend on a siRNA off-target effect. The transcriptomic analysis shown here was designed to identify the factor(s) that are responsible for such phenotype. HeLa cells synchronized in mitosis have been transfected in 3 independent experiments with either Beclin 1-ER or Beclin 1-II siRNA. RNA was extracted and subjected to gene expression profiling. Differentially expressed probe sets/genes have been identified between the ER and II siRNA using the moderated t-test from Bioconductor's limma package with the resulting p-values being adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing using the method from Benjamini and Hochberg.

Transcript analysis of Arabidopsis wild type and S-nitrosoglutathione reductase knock-out line (Wassilewskija)

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule that participates in diverse developmental processes in plants, and in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The main mode of action of NO is protein S-nitrosylation, the post-translational modification of thiol residues. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) as a biological NO donor has a very important function in NO signaling since it can transfer its NO moiety to other proteins. The breakdown of GSNO and thus the level of S-nitrosylated proteins are regulated by GSNO-reductase (GSNOR). Arabidopsis knock out gsnor mutants have a pleotropic phenotype with a developmentally differences and impaired responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, the main aim of the experiment was to identify genes involving in NO signaling by comparing WT and gsnor mutant.

EBF2 promotes the recruitment of beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue

Project description:The induction of beige/brite adipose cells in white adipose tissue (WAT) is associated with protection against high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in animals. The helix-loop-helix transcription factor Early B-Cell Factor-2 (EBF2) regulates brown adipose tissue development. We examined the role of EBF2 in beige fat cell biogenesis by comparing transcriptome in wildtype and EBF2-overexpressing mice in the adipose tissue. Four control replicates (wildtype) and four experimental replicates (Fabp4-Ebf2) mice were analyzed

Vascular rarefaction mediates whitening of brown fat in obesity

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly vascularized organ with abundant mitochondria that produce heat through uncoupled respiration. Obesity is associated with a reduction of BAT function; however, it is unknown how obesity promotes dysfunctional BAT. Here, using a murine model of diet-induced obesity, we determined that obesity causes capillary rarefaction and functional hypoxia in BAT, leading to a BAT “whitening” phenotype that is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid droplet accumulation, and decreased expression of Vegfa. Targeted deletion of Vegfa in adipose tissue of nonobese mice resulted in BAT whitening, supporting a role for decreased vascularity in obesity-associated BAT. Conversely, introduction of VEGF-A specifically into BAT of obese mice restored vascularity, ameliorated brown adipocyte dysfunction, and improved insulin sensitivity. The capillary rarefaction in BAT that was brought about by obesity or Vegfa ablation diminished β-adrenergic signaling, increased mitochondrial ROS production, and promoted mitophagy. These data indicate that overnutrition leads to the development of a hypoxic state in BAT, causing it to whiten through mitochondrial dysfunction and loss. Furthermore, these results link obesity-associated BAT whitening to impaired systemic glucose metabolism.

RNA-Sequencing of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipose tissue

Project description:Since brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy through UCP1, BAT has garnered attention as a therapeutic intervention for obesity and metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. As we better understand the roles of classical brown and beige adipocytes, increased beige fat mass in response to a variety of external/internal cues is associated with significant improvements in glucose and lipid homeostasis that may not be entirely mediated by UCP1. We aim to analyze transcriptome of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipocyte to identify the UCP1-independent function.

Next-generation sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of T1-T4 sympathetic ganglia transcriptomes from TRKC+/-, AdNTF3-Tg and their respective wild type control mice after 1 day cold exposure at 5℃

Project description:Activation of brown fat thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is important in brown/beige adipocyte thermogenesis. Here we discover a novel fat-derived “adipokine” neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NTF3) and its receptor Tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TRKC) as key regulators of SNS growth and innervation in adipose tissue. NTF3 is highly expressed in brown/beige adipocytes, and potently stimulates sympathetic neuron neurite growth. NTF3/TRKC regulates a plethora of pathways in neuronal axonal growth and elongation. Adipose tissue sympathetic innervation is significantly increased in mice with adipocyte-specific NTF3 overexpression, but profoundly reduced in mice with TRKC haploinsufficiency (TRKC+/-). Increasing NTF3 via pharmacological or genetic approach promotes beige adipocyte development, enhances cold-induced thermogenesis and protects against diet-induced obesity (DIO); whereas TRKC+/- mice or SNS TRKC deficient mice are cold intolerant and prone to DIO. Thus, NTF3 is an important fat-derived neurotrophic factor regulating SNS innervation, energy metabolism and obesity.
