(Submitter supplied) Brown adipose tissue (BAT) protects against obesity by promoting energy expenditure via uncoupled respiration. To uncover BAT-specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), we used RNA-seq to reconstruct de novo transcriptomes of mouse brown, inguinal white, and epididymal white fat and identified ~1500 lncRNAs, including 127 BAT-restricted loci induced during differentiation and often targeted by key regulators PPARγ, C/EBPα and C/EBPβ. more...

(Submitter supplied) Obesity has emerged as a formidable health crisis due to its association with metabolic risk factors such as diabetes, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Recent work has demonstrated the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in regulating mouse adipose development, but its implication in human adipocytes remain largely unknown at least partially due to the lack of a comprehensive lncRNA catalog, particularly those specifically expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT). more...

(Submitter supplied) Obesity induces profound transcriptome changes in adipocytes; recent evidence suggests that lncRNAs play key roles in this process. Here, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome study by RNA-Seq in adipocytes isolated from interscapular brown, inguinal and epididymal white adipose tissues in diet-induced obese mice. Our analysis reveals a set of obesity-dysregulated lncRNAs, many of which exhibit dynamic changes in fed vs. more...

(Submitter supplied) Zbtb7b is a zinc finger and BTB domain containing transcription factor that activates the thermogenic gene program during brown and beige adipocyte differentiation. Zbtb7b interacts with the long noncoding RNA Blnc1 and hnRNPU to form a ribonucleoprotein transcriptional complex We used microarray to determine how Zbtb7b regulates brown fat gene expression at ambient room temperature and following cold exposure

(Submitter supplied) Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as powerful regulators of adipocyte differentiation and gene expression. However, their physiological role in adipose tissue biology and systemic energy metabolism has not been established. Here we show that adipose tissue expression of Blnc1, a conserved lncRNA regulator of thermogenic genes, is highly induced in obese mice. Fat-specific inactivation of Blnc1 impairs cold-induced thermogenesis and browning, exacerbates obesity-associated brown fat whitening, and worsens adipose tissue inflammation and fibrosis, leading to more severe insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. more...

(Submitter supplied) Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is considered as a main site of adaptive thermogenesis and the thermogenic activities of brown and beige adipocytes are also linked to generating heat and counteracting obesity. Recent studies revealed that BAT could secrete certain batokines-like factors especially small extracellular vesicles (sEV), which contributed to the systemic consequences of BAT activities. As a newly emerging class of mediators, some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have exhibited metabolic regulatory effects in adipocyte development. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: To study the role of PPAR nuclear receptors in brown fat. Methods: mRNA-sequencing was performed on brown adipose tissue from mice on diets with or without added rosiglitazone or fenofibrate. Sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with RNA-Seq Unified Mapper. Results: We identified genes that were induced or repressed by either PPAR agonist, and approximately three-fold more genes were significantly regulated by rosiglitazone (rosi, a PPARg agonist) than by fenofibrate (feno, a PPARa agonist). more...

(Submitter supplied) We report the application of sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of PPARα/γ in mammalian cells. By obtaining over 3 billion bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of mouse brown adipose tissue. We find that PPARα binds to a subset of PPARγ sites, suggesting a potential redundancy in which PPARα function may not be necessary in brown adipose tissue.While PPARα may not itself be necessary for BAT function, shared targets regulation by PPARα and PPARγ may nonetheless reveal relevant biology in this tissue.This study provides a framework for the application of comprehensive chromatin profiling towards characterization of PPARα/γ regulation in mouse brown adipose tissue.

(Submitter supplied) Increasing energy expenditure by promoting the thermogenic program in brown adipocytes is a promising approach to combat human obesity. To fully exploit the potential of this approach a comprehensive understanding of the gene regulatory network that controls both lineage commitment and differentiation of brown cells is necessary. Here, we systematically examine the transcriptomic and epigenomic transitions from mesenchymal stem cells to brown adipocytes (BA) and we perform a comparative analysis with differentiating white adipocytes (WA). more...

(Submitter supplied) Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that protects animals against hypothermia and obesity. BAT derives from the multipotent paraxial mesoderm; however, the identity of embryonic brown fat progenitor cells and regulators of adipogenic commitment are unclear. We identified the transcription factor GATA6 as a selective marker of brown adipogenic progenitor cells. Deletion of Gata6 in the brown fat lineage resulted in a striking loss of BAT. more...

(Submitter supplied) Brown and beige fats generate heat via uncoupled respiration to defend against cold, mechanistically, through the action of a network of transcription factors and cofactors. Here we globally profiled long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) gene expression during thermogenic adipocyte formation and identified Brown fat lncRNA 1 (Blnc1) as a novel nuclear lncRNA that promotes brown and beige adipocyte differentiation and function by forming a feedforward regulatory loop with EBF2 to drive adipogenesis toward thermogenic phenotype.

(Submitter supplied) 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 mitochondrial function.
