(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 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.

(Submitter supplied) Here we show that synthesis of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin is an indispensable driver of thermogenic fat function. Cardiolipin biosynthesis is robustly induced in brown and beige adipose upon cold exposure. Mimicking this response by overexpressing cardiolipin synthase (Crls1) enhances energy consumption in mouse and human adipocytes. Crls1 deficiency diminishes mitochondrial uncoupling in brown and beige adipocytes and elicits a nuclear transcriptional response through ER stress-mediated retrograde communication. more...

(Submitter supplied) Brown and beige fat share a remarkably similar transcriptional program that supports fuel oxidation and thermogenesis. The chromatin-remodeling machinery that governs genome accessibility and renders adipocytes poised for thermogenic activation remains elusive. BAF60a serves an indispensable role in cold-induced thermogenesis in brown fat. Surprisingly, fat-specific BAF60a inactivation triggers more pronounced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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.

(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) Obesity is a risk factor for numerous metabolic disorders; however, not all obese individuals are prone to insulin resistance. The central aim of this study was to identify molecular pathways directly related to insulin resistance independent of BMI in obesity. We sought to determine the gene expression signature of adipose tissue in a body mass index (BMI)-matched obese cohort of patients that are either insulin sensitive or insulin resistant.

(Submitter supplied) The β-adrenergic receptor signaling pathway is a major component of adaptive thermogenesis in brown and white adipose tissue during cold acclimation. The β-AR activation highly induces transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α and its splice variant N-terminal (NT)-PGC-1α, promoting the transcription program of mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the role of NT-PGC-1α in brown adipocyte energy metabolism by genome-wide profiling of NT-PGC-1α-responsive genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) We derived a model that allows for doxycycline-inducible deletion of Zfp423 in mature adipocytes of adult mice (Adiponectin-rtTA; TRE-CRE; Zfp423 loxP/loxP). In these animals deletion of Zfp423 results in a spontaneous conversion of white adipocytes into beige-like adipocytes at room temperature. The goal of this expression analysis was to 1) determine the gene programs dependent on adipocyte Zfp423 in inguinal WAT, and 2) determine the similarity between the converted beige-like cells to normal beige adipose tissue that accumulates upon cold exppsure.

(Submitter supplied) We reported that both conventional and adipose-specific Naa10p deletions in mice result in increased energy expenditure, thermogenesis, beige adipocyte differentiation and activation. Mechanistically, Naa10p acetylates the N-terminus of Pgc1α and prevents it from interacting with Ppar to activate key genes, such as Ucp1, involved in beige adipocyte function. We used microarrays to profile the gene expression changes by Naa10p KO in inguinal white adipose tissues (iWATs) derived from mice fed with high fat diet for 15 weeks.

(Submitter supplied) Brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions in energy expenditure in part due its role in thermoregulation. The prominent capacity of BAT to enhance fuel utilization and energy expenditure makes it an attractive target for treating obesity and metabolic disorders. Prolonged cold exposure induces de novo recruitment of brown adipocytes and activates their thermogenic activity. However, the exact source of cold-induced brown adipocytes is not completely understood. more...
