ABSTRACT
Background:
Enhancing white adipose tissue (WAT) browning combats obesity. The RIIß subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is primarily expressed in the brain and adipose tissue. Deletion of the hypothalamic RIIß gene centrally induces WAT browning, yet the peripheral mechanisms mediating this process remain unexplored.Methods:
This study investigates the mechanisms underlying WAT browning in RIIß-KO mice. Genetic approaches such as ß3-adrenergic receptors (ß3ARs) deletion and sympathetic denervation of WAT were utilized. Genome-wide transcriptomic sequencing and bioinformatic analysis were employed to identify potential mediators of WAT browning. siRNA assays were employed to knock down mTOR and lipin1 in vitro, while AAV-shRNAs were used for the same purpose in vivo.Results:
We found that WAT browning substantially contributes to the lean and obesity-resistant phenotypes of RIIß-KO mice. The WAT browning can be dampened by ß3ARs deletion or WAT sympathetic denervation. We identified that adipocytic mTOR and lipin1 may act as mediators of the WAT browning. Inhibition of mTOR or lipin1 abrogates WAT browning and hinders the lean phenotype of RIIß-KO mice. In human subcutaneous white adipocytes and mouse white adipocytes, ß3AR stimulation can activate mTOR and causes lipin1 nuclear translocation; knockdown of mTOR and Lipin1 mitigates WAT browning-associated gene expression, impedes mitochondrial activity. Moreover, mTOR knockdown reduces lipin1 level and nuclear translocation, indicating that lipin1 may act downstream of mTOR. Additionally, in vivo knockdown of mTOR and Lipin1 diminished WAT browning and increased adiposity.Conclusions:
The ß3AR-activated mTOR-lipin1 axis mediates WAT browning, offering new insights into the molecular basis of PKA-regulated WAT browning. These findings provide potential adipose target candidates for the development of drugs to treat obesity.Mots clés
