β-catenin UCP1 thermogenesis beige adipocytes energy expenditure

摘要

Canonical WNT pathway in mature adipocytes exacerbates obesity. In this study, we constructed UCP1-positive adipocytes-specific Ctnnb1 knockout mice and observed increased “browning” of white adipose tissue following cold exposure or CL-316,243 administration compared to controls. UBKO mice also displayed increased energy expenditure. Furthermore, β-catenin inhibited thermogenic genes expression in differentiated beige adipocytes and repressed Ucp1 expression at transcription level. Transcrip...更多

Canonical WNT pathway in mature adipocytes exacerbates obesity. In this study, we constructed UCP1-positive adipocytes-specific Ctnnb1 knockout mice and observed increased “browning” of white adipose tissue following cold exposure or CL-316,243 administration compared to controls. UBKO mice also displayed increased energy expenditure. Furthermore, β-catenin inhibited thermogenic genes expression in differentiated beige adipocytes and repressed Ucp1 expression at transcription level. Transcriptome analysis revealed UBKO mice treated with CL-316,243 had enhanced mitochondrial function and downregulated immune-related genes in epididymal WAT. Improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were observed in 50-week-old UBKO mice. Public datasets indicated that CTNNB1 expression was inversely correlated with several thermogenic genes expression in human adipose tissue/adipocytes and positively correlated with body mass index or waist-hip ratio . We proposed that intervention of β-catenin in adipocytes could be an effective strategy to enhance energy expenditure and improve age-related metabolic performance.收起
