Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used extensively in building materials, including those used in schools. PCBs accumulate in fat, and exposure to PCBs is associated with the development of cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. The non-dioxin-like PCB congener, PCB52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl), is found at one of the highest levels of any congener in school air. PCB52 is oxidized in the liver to hydroxylated forms, mainly 4-OH-PCB52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol). In a previous study, we reported on RNAseq data generated from exposure of human preadipocytes to the dioxin-like PCB congener, PCB126. In this new dataset, we used identical techniques to examine alterations in gene transcript levels in human preadipocytes exposed to PCB52 or 4-OH-PCB52 over a time course. This updated set of data provides a comprehensive transcriptional profile of changes that occur in preadipocytes exposed to PCB52 or 4-OH-PCB52 over time and allows for comparison of these changes between the parent compound and its hydroxy metabolite. The datasets will allow others to explore how PCB52 and 4-OH-PCB52 impact biological pathways in preadipocytes. Further studies can be performed to determine how these changes might lead to disease.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) accumulate in adipose tissue and are linked to obesity and diabetes. The congener, PCB52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachorobiphenyl), is found at high levels in school air. Hydroxylation of PCB52 to 4-OH-PCB52 (4-hydroxy-2,2',5,5'-tetrachorobiphenyl) may increase its toxicity. To understand PCB52's role in causing adipose dysfunction, we exposed human preadipocytes to PCB52 or 4-OH-PCB52 across a time course and assessed transcript changes using RNAseq. 4-OH-PCB52 caused considerably more changes in the number of differentially expressed genes as compared to PCB52. Both PCB52 and 4-OH-PCB52 upregulated transcript levels of the sulfotransferase SULT1E1 at early time points, but cytochrome P450 genes were generally not affected. A set of genes known to be transcriptionally regulated by PPARα were consistently downregulated by PCB52 at all time points. In contrast, 4-OH-PCB52 affected a variety of pathways, including those involving cytokine responses, hormone responses, focal adhesion, Hippo, and Wnt signaling. Sets of genes known to be transcriptionally regulated by IL17A or parathyroid hormone (PTH) were found to be consistently downregulated by 4-OH-PCB52. Most of the genes affected by PCB52 and 4-OH-PCB52 were different and, of those that were the same, many were changed in an opposite direction. These studies provide insight into how PCB52 or its metabolites may cause adipose dysfunction to cause disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We determined whether autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) injections provide clinical and functional improvements in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients, and whether the results differ between autologous bone marrow cells (BMAC) and adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs). METHODS Between January 2021 and April 2022, 51 patients undergoing intra-articular injection of BMAC and 51 patients undergoing intra-articular injection of ADSCs were prospectively recruited. The Kellgren and Lawrence (K-L) classification was used to grade the severity of osteoarthritis. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and visual analog scale (VAS) were collected for all 102 patients in the previous week before the procedures, and at the one and 6 months from injection. RESULTS Knee KOOS scores, knee OKS scores, and VAS pain scores changed in similar ways in the two treatment groups. Both treatment groups demonstrated significant improvement pre-procedure to post-procedure in knee KOOS scores (p < 0.0001), knee OKS scores (p < 0.0001), and VAS pain scores (p < 0.0001). Patients with K-L grade 2 showed better functional and clinical outcomes than patients with K-L grades 3 and 4 (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Both intra-articular BMAC and ADSC injections significantly improved pain and functional outcomes at 6-month follow-up in patients with KOA. The difference between BMAC and ADCSs groups as tissue sources of MSCs was not statistically significant in terms of clinical and functional outcomes.

Abstract
Obesity is a key risk factor for the development of metabolic disease. Bioactive sphingolipid metabolites are among the lipids increased in obesity. Obesogenic saturated fatty acids are substrates for serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) the rate-limiting step in de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. The mammalian orosomucoid-like protein isoforms ORMDL1-3 negatively regulate SPT activity. Here we summarize evidence that dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism and SPT activity correlates with pathogenesis of obesity. This review also discusses the current understanding of the function of SPT and ORMDL in obesity and metabolic disease. Gaps and limitations in current knowledge are highlighted together with the need to further understand how ORMDL3, which has been identified as an obesity-related gene, contributes to the pathogenesis of obesity and development of metabolic disease related to its physiological functions. Finally, we point out the needs to move this young field of research forward.

Abstract
High caloric intake and physical inactivity are known precursors to the development of several chronic metabolic diseases. For obesity and sedentarism, High Intensity Intermittent Exercise (HIIE) and Intermittent Fasting (IF) have emerged as individual strategies to attenuate their negative effects by improving metabolism. To study their combined effects, Wistar male rats (n = 74, 60 days old) were divided into four groups: Sedentary Control (C), swimming-based HIIE only (HIIE), Intermittent Fasting only (IF), and swimming-based HIIE associated with Intermittent Fasting (HIIE/IF). Over an eight-week period swimming performance, body composition, weight and feeding behavior were analyzed. The final morphology of white adipose tissue showed a significant reduction in adipocyte size consistent with a higher number of cells per area in exercised animals (vs C and IF, p < 0.05), which also displayed characteristics of browning through UCP-1 levels and CD31 staining. These results suggest that the increased performance in the HIIE/IF group is, in part, by modifications of WAT metabolism through the browning process.

Abstract
M-CSF is a critical growth factor for myeloid lineage cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts. Tissue-resident macrophages in most organs rely on local M-CSF. However, it is unclear what specific cells in the bone marrow produce M-CSF to maintain myeloid homeostasis. Here, we found that Adipoq-lineage progenitors but not mature adipocytes in bone marrow or in peripheral adipose tissue, are a major cellular source of M-CSF, with these Adipoq-lineage progenitors producing M-CSF at levels much higher than those produced by osteoblast lineage cells. The Adipoq-lineage progenitors with high CSF1 expression also exist in human bone marrow. Deficiency of M-CSF in bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors drastically reduces the generation of bone marrow macrophages and osteoclasts, leading to severe osteopetrosis in mice. Furthermore, the osteoporosis in ovariectomized mice can be significantly alleviated by the absence of M-CSF in bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors. Our findings identify bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors as a major cellular source of M-CSF in bone marrow and reveal their crucial contribution to bone marrow macrophage development, osteoclastogenesis, bone homeostasis, and pathological bone loss.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of many age-related diseases is linked to cellular senescence, a state of inflammation-inducing, irreversible cell cycle arrest. The consequences and mechanisms of age-associated cellular senescence are often studied using in vivo models of radiation exposure. However, it is unknown whether radiation induces persistent senescence, like that observed in ageing. We performed analogous studies in mice and monkeys, where young mice and rhesus macaques received sub-lethal doses of ionizing radiation and were observed for ~ 15% of their expected lifespan. Assessments of 8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SAβ-gal), and p16Ink4a and p21 were performed on mitotic and post-mitotic tissues - liver and adipose tissue - 6 months and 3 years post-exposure for the mice and monkeys, respectively. No elevations in 8-OHdG, SA-βgal staining, or p16 Ink4a or p21 gene or protein expression were found in mouse and monkey liver or adipose tissue compared to control animals. Despite no evidence of senescence, progenitor cell dysfunction persisted after radiation exposure, as indicated by lower in situ CD34+ adipose cells (p = 0.03), and deficient adipose stromal vascular cell proliferation (p < 0.05) and differentiation (p = 0.04) ex vivo. Our investigation cautions that employing radiation to study senescence-related processes should be limited to the acute post-exposure period and that stem cell damage likely underpins the dysfunction associated with delayed effects of radiation.

Abstract
Cytokines are the most important inflammatory mediators and are well-known as the main cause of emphysema. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) as a cell-based treatment strategy could play a pivotal role in lung regeneration through anti-inflammatory and paracrine properties. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to the comparison of inflammation markers' improvement in response to the intratracheal and systemic delivery method of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in emphysema. Forty-eight rats were divided into five groups including Control, Elastase (25 IU/kg, Intratracheal, at day first and 10th), Elastase+PBS, Intratracheal cell therapy (1 ×107, at day 28th), and Systemic cell therapy groups (1 ×107, Jugular vein, at day 28th). After 3 weeks, the blood gas analysis (PO2, PCO2 and pH), fibrinogen level, and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured in all groups. In addition, inflammatory genes expression, and concentration levels of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, and TGF-β,) were evaluated using Real-time PCR and Elisa kits, respectively. The statistical analysis of our data shows that local administration leads to more significant treatment efficacy with decreased inflammation parameters such as WBC count and pro-inflammatory cytokines in comparison with systemic treatment. Besides, these results were approved by more reduction of CRP and fibrinogen concentration levels in blood samples of intra-tracheal AMSCs-treated rats compare with the systemic group. Moreover, the improvement in histopathology indexes of the local administrated group was significantly better than the systemic group. Accordingly, the obtained results suggest local administration as the most efficacious route for mesenchymal stem cells delivery in patients with emphysema.

Abstract
Sclerostin, the product of the SOST gene has primarily been studied for its profound impact on bone mass. By interacting with LRP5 and LRP6, the glycoprotein suppresses the propagation of Wnt signals to β-catenin and thereby suppresses new bone formation. In this review, we discuss emerging data which suggest that sclerostin also acts outside the skeleton to influence metabolism. In humans, serum sclerostin levels are associated with body mass index and indices of metabolic function. Likewise, genetic mouse models of Sost gene deficiency indicate sclerostin influences adipocyte development and insulin signaling. These data raise the possibility that sclerostin neutralization may be effective at treating two epidemic conditions: osteoporosis and obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is one of the most serious global health problems, with an incidence that increases yearly and coincides with the development of cancer. Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) are particularly important in this context and contribute to linking obesity-related inflammation and tumor progression. However, the functions of ATMs on the progression of obesity-associated cancer remain unclear. In this review, we describe the origins, phenotypes, and functions of ATMs. Subsequently, we summarize the potential mechanisms on the reprogramming of ATMs in the obesity-associated microenvironment, including the direct exchange of dysfunctional metabolites, inordinate cytokines and other signaling mediators, transfer of extracellular vesicle cargo, and variations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites. A better understanding of the properties and functions of ATMs under conditions of obesity will lead to the development of new therapeutic interventions for obesity-related cancer.

Abstract
Effects of the metabolic hormone glucagon can be physiological or supraphysiological, based on agonist concentration and the mediating cellular signal. The threshold concentration (TC) for activating the AC/cAMP signal pathway in liver is ≥ 100 pM. By contrast, mean plasma concentrations are around 20-45 pM, depending on the vascular bed. Accordingly, effects produced at TCs below 100 pM are physiological and mediated by cellular signal pathways other than AC/cAMP. Effects generated at concentrations above 100 pM are supraphysiological, often mediated by simultaneous activation of cAMP-independent and -dependent pathways. Physiological responses, and their established or implicated signal pathways, include stimulation of: glucose mobilization, fatty acid oxidation, and urea synthesis in liver (PLC/IP3/Ca2+/CaM); lipolysis in white and brown adipose tissue and oxygen consumption in brown adipose of the rat but not in humans (PLC/IP3/Ca2+/CaM); renal potassium and phosphate excretion in rodents and GFR in humans (signal undetermined); and glucose utilization in rat heart (PI3K/akt). Supraphysiological responses involve the AC/cAMP pathway and include: enhanced stimulation of glucose mobilization and stimulation of urea synthesis in liver; further stimulation of white and brown adipose lipolysis and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue; stimulation of renal Cl- transport; and increased rat heart contractility. The AC/cAMP pathway is likely recruited when plasma glucagon rises above 100 pM during periods of elevated metabolic stress and systemic glucose demand, such as in the early neonate or strenuously exercising adult. The current cAMP-centered model should therefore be reconsidered and replaced with one that places more emphasis on cAMP-independent pathways.

Abstract
Plastic and plasticiser pollution of marine environments is a growing concern. Although phthalates, one group of plasticisers, are rapidly metabolised by mammals, they are found ubiquitously in humans and have been linked with metabolic disorders and altered adipose function. Phthalates may also present a threat to marine mammals, which need to rapidly accumulate and mobilise their large fat depots. High molecular weight (HMW) phthalates may be most problematic because they can accumulate in adipose. We used blubber explants from juvenile grey seals to examine the effects of overnight exposure to the HMW, adipogenic phthalate, benzyl butyl phthalate (BBzP) on expression of key adipose-specific genes and on phosphorylation of Akt in response to insulin. We found substantial differences in transcript abundance of Pparγ, Insig2, Fasn, Scd, Adipoq and Lep between moult stages, when animals were also experiencing differing mass changes, and between tissue depths, which likely reflect differences in blubber function. Akt abundance was higher in inner compared to outer blubber, consistent with greater metabolic activity in adipose closer to muscle than skin, and its phosphorylation was stimulated by insulin. Transcript abundance of Pparγ and Fasn (and Adipoq in some animals) were increased by short term (30 min) insulin exposure. In addition, overnight in vitro BBzP exposure altered insulin-induced changes in Pparγ (and Adipoq in some animals) transcript abundance, in a tissue depth and moult stage-specific manner. Basal or insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation was not changed. BBzP thus acted rapidly on the transcript abundance of key adipose genes in an Akt-independent manner. Our data suggest phthalate exposure could alter seal blubber development or function, although the whole animal consequences of these changes are not yet understood. Knowledge of typical phthalate exposures and toxicokinetics would help to contextualise these findings in terms of phthalate-induced metabolic disruption risk and consequences for marine mammal health.

Abstract
AIMS Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease that affects adipose function. This study aimed to explore the function of adipocytes-derived exosomal (ADEs) miR-122 in NAFLD. METHODS A high-fat and high-fructose diet-induced rat model and a palmitic acid (PA)-induced in vitro model were established. The RNA level of miR-122 and Sirt1 was measured using qRT-PCR. The protein levels of exosome biomarkers, and lipogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis biomarkers were determined by western blotting. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed using cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. Serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total cholesterol, triglyceride levels were measured. Liver tissue damage was assessed using haematoxylin and eosin staining. The interaction between miR-122 and Sirt1 3'UTR was assessed using a luciferase reporter gene assay. RESULTS ADEs exhibited abundant level of miR-122 and promoted lipogenesis, impaired hepatocyte survival, enhanced liver damage and increased serum lipid levels in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of miR-122 in ADEs alleviated NAFLD progression, lipid and glucose metabolism, liver inflammation and fibrosis both in vivo and in vitro. miR-122 binds directly to the 3'UTR of Sirt1 to suppress its expression. Moreover, Sirt1 overexpression reversed the increase in cell apoptosis, glucose and lipid metabolism, liver inflammation and fibrosis induced by ADEs in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS The ADEs miR-122 promotes the progression of NAFLD via modulating Sirt1 signalling in vivo and in vitro. The ADEs miR-122 may be a promising diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NAFLD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study was stimulated by the continuous growth of commercially available high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) systems for fat reduction. Herein, HIFU was utilised for fat ablation using a single-element ultrasonic transducer operating in thermal mode. METHODS The custom-made concave transducer that operates at 1.1 MHz was assessed on excised porcine adipose tissue for its ability to reduce fat. Ultrasonic sonications were executed on the adipose tissue utilising acoustical power between 14 and 75 W and sonication time in the range of 1-10 min. The mass of the adipose tissue sample was weighed afore and after ultrasonic sonications and the effect of the sonication on the mass change was recorded. RESULTS Mass change was linearly dependent with either increasing acoustical power or sonication time and was in the range of 0.46-1.9 g. High acoustical power of 62.5 W for a sonication time of 1 min and a power of 75 W for a sonication time of 5 min, respectively resulted in the formation of a lesion or possible cavitation on the piece of excised adipose tissue. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed transducer in achieving a reduction of excised fat tissue. The present findings indicate the potential use of the transducer in a HIFU system indicated for the reduction of subcutaneous adipose tissue where increased values of acoustical power can result in increased amounts of fat reduction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex reproductive event that is delineated by endocrine/metabolic disorders. Alteration of kisspeptin status in the hypothalamus and adipose tissue is critical to increased endocrine/metabolic derangements in PCOS individuals, aggravating the clinical manifestation of PCOS and its complications. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are crucial modulators of metabolic homeostasis. However, the role of SCFAs, particularly acetate on hypothalamic-adipose kisspeptin status (HAKS) in PCOS model is unknown. The present study hypothesized acetate as a key player in restoration of deranged HAKS, associated with experimental PCOS model. METHODS Three groups (n = 6/group) of female Wistar rats (120-150 g) were used. The groups were treated (po) for 21 days with vehicle, letrozole (1 mg/kg) with/without acetate (200 mg/kg) respectively. RESULTS Letrozole-treated animals had impaired glucose homeostasis, elevated testosterone, leptin and LH/FSH ratio and decreased GnRH and adiponectin with ovarian tissues revealing degenerated follicles and disrupted morphology. These animals also showed increased concentration of hypothalamic triglyceride (TG)/total cholesterol (TC), free fatty acid (FFA), and decreased concentration of TG/TC/FFA in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) with an increase in hypothalamic and VAT malondialdehyde, NF-κB/TNF-α and decreased glutathione/G6PD and hypothalamic but not VAT kisspeptin. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome in the hypothalamus and VAT and all these changes were attenuated by acetate. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, the present results demonstrate that PCOS is characterized with hypothalamic-adipose inflammation, associated with immunohistochemical expression of NLRP3 with significant alteration of hypothalamic but not adipose kisspeptin. The results suggest that acetate restores kisspeptin status in PCOS animals. This beneficial effect is accompanied by repressed NLRP3 immunoreactivity.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a cell fate involving cell cycle arrest, resistance against apoptosis, and the development of a secretome that can be pro-inflammatory. In aging and obesity, senescent cells accumulate in many tissues, including adipose tissue, brain, kidney, pancreas, and liver. These senescent cells and their downstream effects appear to perpetuate inflammation and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction. Senescent cells are cleared in part by the immune system, a process that is diminished in obesity and aging, likely due in part to senescence of immune cells themselves. Targeting senescent cells or their products improves metabolic function in both aging and in animal models of obesity. Novel therapeutics to target senescent cells are on the horizon and are currently being investigated in clinical trials in humans for multiple diseases. Early evidence suggests that senolytic drugs, which transiently disarm the anti-apoptotic defenses of pro-inflammatory senescent cells, are effective in causing depletion of senescent cells in humans. Senescence-targeting therapeutics, including senolytic drugs and strategies to increase immune clearance of senescent cells, hold significant promise for treating metabolic dysfunction in multiple tissues and disease states.

Abstract
Most efforts to understand the pathology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been centered on the brain, ignoring the role played by systemic physiology. Gut-derived serotonin is emerging as a major regulator of systemic homeostasis involving various organs and tissues throughout the body. Here, we shed light on the roles occupied by gut-derived serotonin and its downstream metabolic targets in the systemic pathogenesis of TBI. Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to a fluid percussion injury (FPI) and RT-qPCR was used to examine mRNA levels in intestine, liver, and adipose tissue. In the intestinal tract, TBI transiently downregulated enteric neuronal markers Chat and Nos1 in the duodenum and colon, and altered colonic genes related to synthesis and degradation of serotonin, favoring an overall serotonin downregulation. There also was a decrease in serotonin fluorescence intensity in the colonic mucosa and reduced circulating blood serotonin levels, with concurrent alterations in serotonin-associated gene expression in downstream tissues after TBI (i.e., upregulation of serotonin receptor Htr2a and dysregulation of genes associated with lipid metabolism in liver and adipose). Levels of commensal bacterial species were also altered in the gut and were associated with TBI-mediated changes in the colonic serotonin system. Our findings suggest that TBI alters peripheral serotonin homeostasis, which in turn may impact gastrointestinal function, gut microbiota, and systemic energy balance. These data highlight the importance of building an integrative view of the role of systemic physiology in TBI pathogenesis to assist in the development of effective TBI treatments.

Effects of omega-3 supplementation on components of the endocannabinoid system and metabolic and inflammatory responses in adipose and liver of peripartum dairy cows. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2022; 13:114. [PMID: 36183098 PMCID: PMC9526899 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-022-00761-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Dietary supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the activation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) by decreasing the availability of arachidonic acid, thus lowering endocannabinoids (eCBs) levels. The ECS is a modulator of energy metabolism, stress response and inflammation in mammals, yet there is little information on the roles of the ECS in transition dairy cows. During the periparturient period, the adipose tissue and liver are the main metabolic organs that participate in the adaptations of dairy cows to onset of lactation; however, exceeded adipose tissue lipolysis and accumulation of lipids in the liver have adverse effects on cows’ physiology. Here we aimed to examine whether omega-3 supplementation during the transition period will modulate ECS activation and affect metabolic and inflammatory indices in postpartum dairy cows, by supplementing twenty-eight transition Holstein dairy cows with either saturated fat (CTL) or encapsulated flaxseed oil (FLX). Components of the ECS, metabolic and inflammatory markers were measured in blood, liver, and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Results FLX supplementation reduced feed intake by 8.1% (P < 0.01) and reduced plasma levels of arachidonic acid (by 44.2%; P = 0.02) and anandamide (by 49.7%; P = 0.03) postpartum compared to CTL. The mRNA transcription levels of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1/CB1) tended to be lower (2.5 folds) in white blood cells of FLX than in CTL (P = 0.10), and protein abundance of ECS enzyme monoacylglycerol lipase was higher in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of FLX than in CTL (P = 0.04). In adipose tissue, palmitoylethanolamide levels were lower in FLX than in CTL (by 61.5%; P = 0.02), relative mRNA transcription of lipogenic genes were higher, and the protein abundance of cannabinoid receptor 2 (P = 0.08) and monoacylglycerol lipase (P = 0.10) tended to be higher in FLX compared to CTL. Hepatic 2-arachidonoylglycerol tended to be higher (by 73.1%; P = 0.07), and interlukin-6 mRNA transcription level was 1.5 folds lower in liver of FLX than in CTL (P = 0.03). Conclusions Nutritional supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids seems to partly modulate ECS activation, which could be related to lower feed intake. The altered ECS components in blood, adipose tissue and liver are associated with moderate modulations in lipid metabolism in the adipose and inflammation in liver of peripartum dairy cows.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a peripherally-derived endocrine hormone that acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to regulate whole body energy homeostasis. Pharmacological administration of FGF21 promotes weight loss in obese animal models and human subjects with obesity. However, the central targets mediating these effects are incompletely defined. METHODS To explore the mechanism for FGF21's effects to lower body weight, we pharmacologically administer FGF21 to genetic animal models lacking the obligate FGF21 co-receptor, β-klotho (KLB), in either glutamatergic (Vglut2-Cre) or GABAergic (Vgat-Cre) neurons. In addition, we abolish FGF21 signaling to leptin receptor (LepR-Cre) positive cells. Finally, we examine the synergistic effects of FGF21 and leptin to lower body weight and explore the importance of physiological leptin levels in FGF21-mediated regulation of body weight. RESULTS Here we show that FGF21 signaling to glutamatergic neurons is required for FGF21 to modulate energy expenditure and promote weight loss. In addition, we demonstrate that FGF21 signals to leptin receptor-expressing cells to regulate body weight, and that central leptin signaling is required for FGF21 to fully stimulate body weight loss during obesity. Interestingly, co-administration of FGF21 and leptin synergistically leads to robust weight loss. CONCLUSIONS These data reveal an important endocrine crosstalk between liver- and adipose-derived signals which integrate in the CNS to modulate energy homeostasis and body weight regulation.

Feeding desensitizes A1 adenosine receptors in adipose through FOXO1-mediated transcriptional regulation. Mol Metab 2022; 63:101543.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adipose tissue is a critical regulator of energy balance that must rapidly shift its metabolism between fasting and feeding to maintain homeostasis. Adenosine has been characterized as an important regulator of adipocyte metabolism primarily through its actions on A1 adenosine receptors (A1R). We sought to understand the role A1R plays specifically in adipocytes during fasting and feeding to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. METHODS We used Adora1 floxed mice with an inducible, adiponectin-Cre to generate FAdora1-/- mice, where F designates a fat-specific deletion of A1R. We used these FAdora1-/- mice along with specific agonists and antagonists of A1R to investigate changes in adenosine signaling within adipocytes between the fasted and fed state. RESULTS We found that the adipose tissue response to adenosine is not static, but changes dynamically according to nutrient conditions through the insulin-Akt-FOXO1 axis. We show that under fasted conditions, FAdora1-/- mice had impairments in the suppression of lipolysis by insulin on normal chow and impaired glucose tolerance on high-fat diet. FAdora1-/- mice also exhibited a higher lipolytic response to isoproterenol than WT controls when fasted, however this difference was lost after a 4-hour refeeding period. We demonstrate that FOXO1 binds to the A1R promoter, and refeeding leads to a rapid downregulation of A1R transcript and desensitization of adipocytes to A1R agonism. Obesity also desensitizes adipocyte A1R, and this is accompanied by a disruption of cyclical changes in A1R transcription between fasting and refeeding. CONCLUSIONS We propose that FOXO1 drives high A1R expression under fasted conditions to limit excess lipolysis during stress and augment insulin action upon feeding. Subsequent downregulation of A1R under fed conditions leads to desensitization of these receptors in adipose tissue. This regulation of A1R may facilitate reentrance into the catabolic state upon fasting.

Abstract
Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been associated with the development of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of diseases that includes obesity, diabetes, liver steatosis, and cardiovascular problems. PCBs accumulate and fat and are known to act on adipocytes and their precursors, termed preadipocytes. The PCB congener, PCB126, has been shown to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as well as proinflammatory genes. Here, we used RNAseq to assess gene transcript changes that occur in PCB126-exposed human preadipocytes over a time course. RNA was collected from 4 replicates of PCB126-exposed and control-treated preadipocytes at 9 h, 24 h, and 72 h post-exposure. RNA was processed for RNAseq analysis using a NovaSeq 6000 with an obtained minimum of 25 million paired-end 50 bp reads per sample. Reads were aligned using the salmon aligner and transcript expression values were summarized to the gene level using tximport. Gene transcript level counts comparing treated- versus control-treated cells were used for differential expression analysis using DESeq2. Differential expression Excel tables (one for each time point) were generated displaying average differential expression (log2 fold change) of the 4 replicates of treated versus control samples with cutoffs of 0.3 log2 fold change (increase or decrease) and p-values of less than 0.05. FastQ, raw, and differential expression tables were uploaded to GEO. A heat map of genes that were changed in common across all time points was generated using GraphPrism. The data generated from this analysis provides a full transcriptional profile of changes that occur over time in preadipocytes that have been exposed to PCB126. The rich datasets can be mined by other researchers to understand how PCB126 and other dioxin-like compounds, including other PCB congeners such as PCB77 and PCB118, affect biological pathways in preadipocytes and other cell types to cause disease.

Sulforaphane induces lipophagy through the activation of AMPK-mTOR-ULK1 pathway signaling in adipocytes. J Nutr Biochem 2022; 106:109017.

Abstract
Lipophagy, a form of selective autophagy, degrades lipid droplet (LD) in adipose tissue and the liver. The chemotherapeutic isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN) contributes to lipolysis through the activation of hormone-sensitive lipase and the browning of white adipocytes. However, the details concerning the regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes by SFN-mediated autophagy remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of SFN on autophagy in the epididymal fat of mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or control-fat diet and on the molecular mechanisms of autophagy in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Western blotting revealed that the protein expression of lipidated LC3 (LC3-II), an autophagic substrate, was induced after 3T3-L1 adipocytes treatment with SFN. In addition, SFN increased the LC3-II protein expression in the epididymal fat of mice fed an HFD. Immunofluorescence showed that the SFN-induced LC3 expression was co-localized with LDs in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and with perilipin, the most abundant adipocyte-specific protein, in adipocytes of mice fed an HFD. Next, we confirmed that SFN activates autophagy flux in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells using the mCherry-EGFP-LC3 and GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3ΔG probe. Furthermore, we examined the induction mechanisms of autophagy by SFN in 3T3-L1 adipocytes using western blotting. ATG5 knockdown partially blocked the SFN-induced release of fatty acids from LDs in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes. SFN time-dependently elicited the phosphorylation of AMPK, the dephosphorylation of mTOR, and the phosphorylation of ULK1 in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Taken together, these results suggest that SFN may provoke lipophagy through AMPK-mTOR-ULK1 pathway signaling, resulting in partial lipolysis of adipocytes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-coding genetic variation at TCF7L2 is the strongest genetic determinant of type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk in humans. TCF7L2 encodes a transcription factor mediating the nuclear effects of WNT signaling in adipose tissue (AT). In vivo studies in transgenic mice have highlighted important roles for TCF7L2 in adipose tissue biology and systemic metabolism. OBJECTIVE To map the expression of TCF7L2 in human AT, examine its role in human adipose cell biology in vitro, and investigate the effects of the fine-mapped T2D-risk allele at rs7903146 on AT morphology and TCF7L2 expression. METHODS Ex vivo gene expression studies of TCF7L2 in whole and fractionated human AT. In vitro TCF7L2 gain- and/or loss-of-function studies in primary and immortalized human adipose progenitor cells (APCs) and mature adipocytes (mADs). AT phenotyping of rs7903146 T2D-risk variant carriers and matched controls. RESULTS Adipose progenitors (APs) exhibited the highest TCF7L2 mRNA abundance compared to mature adipocytes and adipose-derived endothelial cells. Obesity was associated with reduced TCF7L2 transcript levels in whole subcutaneous abdominal AT but paradoxically increased expression in APs. In functional studies, TCF7L2 knockdown (KD) in abdominal APs led to dose-dependent activation of WNT/β-catenin signaling, impaired proliferation and dose-dependent effects on adipogenesis. Whilst partial KD enhanced adipocyte differentiation, near-total KD impaired lipid accumulation and adipogenic gene expression. Over-expression of TCF7L2 accelerated adipogenesis. In contrast, TCF7L2-KD in gluteal APs dose-dependently enhanced lipid accumulation. Transcriptome-wide profiling revealed that TCF7L2 might modulate multiple aspects of AP biology including extracellular matrix secretion, immune signaling and apoptosis. The T2D-risk allele at rs7903146 was associated with reduced AP TCF7L2 expression and enhanced AT insulin sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS TCF7L2 plays a complex role in AP biology and has both dose- and depot-dependent effects on adipogenesis. In addition to regulating pancreatic insulin secretion, genetic variation at TCF7L2 might also influence T2D risk by modulating AP function.

Abstract
This article explores the obesity state and the changes in the level of lipophagy in adipose tissue after exercise to lose weight, so as to provide direction and basis for theoretical research on obesity prevention and control. We established a high-fat diet model of obese mice, and applied exercise intervention and intraperitoneal injection of chloroquine to inhibit autophagy. Long-term high-fat diet can cause obesity in mice, and the process of lipophagy is inhibited, which may be one of the reasons for fat accumulation. Eight weeks of aerobic exercise can effectively reduce the weight of obese mice and promote lipolysis; this process is mainly completed by lipase decomposition, in addition to require the participation of the lipophagy process.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is widely recognized as an abundant and accessible human tissue that serves as a source of cells and extracellular matrix scaffolds for regenerative surgical applications. Increasingly, orthopedic surgeons are turning to adipose tissue as a resource in their treatment of osteoarthritis and related conditions. In the U.S., the regulatory landscape governing the orthopedic surgical utilization of autologous and allogeneic adipose tissue remains complex. This manuscript reviews the Food and Drug Administration's nomenclature and guidance regarding adipose tissue products. Additionally, it surveys recent pre-clinical and clinical trial literature relating to the application of adipose-derived cells and tissues in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
