Obesity: Disruption in Energy Balance Energy Intake Energy Balance Energy Expenditure Basal Metabolism Adaptive Thermogenesis Physical Activity Obesity and the regulation of energy balance, Review, by B. Spiegelman and J. Flier, Cell, 21

White Adipose Tissue (WAT) & Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) Adipose tissue (fat cell) is an endocrine organ that control energy balance. WAT (Bad Fat): Stores excess energy as Fat (TG). In particular, abdominal Fat BAT (Good Fat) Packed w/ mitochondria Dissipates energy as heat (via UCP1). Newborns and small animals have BAT. Also, adults have BAT (cold exposure)! Activation of BAT would be an appealing option for weight-loss and fighting obesity. BUT!!!

Third Type of Fat: Beige Fat Browning of WAT P. Searle, U Penn

Third Type of Fat: Beige Fat Beige Fat: Stained by an antibody against UCP1, by Ting Fu HFD HFD (+anti-mir-34a) Beige fats are detected by brown-fat specific UCP1 staining. Beige fats are distinct from the classical BAT (gene expression patterns, basal levels UCP1, myogenic myf5-negative cell lineage, -----). Beige fat depots are developed in WAT in response to various activators, including transcriptional regulators, hormones, and cold exposure (PRDM16, irisin, FGF21, cold exposure (activators of β-adrenergic receptor)-----).

Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 (FGF21) Upon cold exposure, FGF21 promotes fat browning in PGC-1a dependent manner. Both systemically and locally acts on WAT/BAT and liver to beneficially control metabolism and energy balance. Binds to the adipocyte FGF21 membrane receptor complex, FGFR1 and βkl. FGF21 resistance in obesity was proposed, but the mechanisms are not clear. FGF21 FGFR1 βkl C. Cantor and J., Auwerx, review, Science, 212 Oxidative metabolism Fat Browning

MicroRNAs (mirs) Small non-coding RNAs (2-25 nt) Binds to 3 UTR of target mrnas (negative gene regulators) Powerful cellular regulators Known that regulate >1/3 of genomes Aberrant expression in human disease

Elevated mir-34a causes metabolic problems in obesity! Our recent published studies on mir-34a: J. Lee et al., JBC, 21 (SIRT1 in liver) J. Lee and JK Kemper, Review, Aging, 21 T. Fu et al., PNAS, 212 (bkl in liver) SE Choi et al., Aging Cell, 213 (NAMPT in liver) SE Choi and JK Kemper, Review, Mol. and Cells, 213 T. Fu et al., MS in preparation (FGFR1, bkl in adipose) Elevated mir-34a in obesity directly targets βkl in liver

mir-34a may directly target the both members of the FGF21 receptor bkl (a direct mir-34a target) is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue. The 3 UTR of FGFR1 mrna also contains a potential mir-34a site. mir-34a is elevated in adipocyte as well as liver in obese patients. mir-34a 3 UTR of FGFR1 mouse UGUUGGUCGA---UUCUGUGACGGU UCCCCUUGUUGGAC-ACACUGCCU FGF21 FGFR1 βkl Downstream Signaling

Hypothesis Elevated adipocyte mir-34a in obesity contributes to FGF21 resistance by directly targeting the both members of the FGF21 receptor complex, FGFR1 and βkl. If so, downregulation of elevated mir- 34a in obesity should restore FGF21 signaling, which results in beneficial effects on metabolism and energy balance.

However, there are limited amounts of BAT in adult humans, BAT is substantially reduced in obese humans, and more importantly, the physiological significance of BAT in adults has just begun to be appreciated, so it is not clear whether targeting the classical BAT would be a therapeutically effective and ideal approach.

The energy that is derived from this uncoupling process is released as Heat.
