Project Title:Uncoupling Metabolic Health from Thermogenesis via BCAA Flux in Brown Fat
Project Type:MS quantitative analysis
Project Summary:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is best known for thermogenesis. Whereas numerous studies in rodents found tight associations between the metabolic benefits of BAT and enhanced whole-body energy expenditure, emerging evidence in humans suggests that BAT is protective against Type 2 diabetes independent of body-weight. The underlying mechanism for this dissociation remained unclear. Here, we report that impaired mitochondrial flux of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in BAT, by deleting mitochondrial BCAA carrier (MBC, encoded by Slc25a44), was sufficient to cause systemic insulin resistance without affecting whole-body energy expenditure or body-weight. We found that brown adipocytes catabolized BCAAs in the mitochondria as essential nitrogen donors for the biosynthesis of glutamate, N-acetylated amino acids, and one of the products, glutathione. BAT-selective impairment in mitochondrial BCAA flux led to elevated oxidative stress and insulin resistance in the liver, accompanied by reduced levels of BCAA-derived metabolites in the circulation. In turn, supplementation of glutathione restored insulin sensitivity of BAT-specific MBC knockout mice. Notably, a high-fat diet rapidly impaired BCAA catabolism and the synthesis of BCAA-nitrogen derived metabolites in the BAT, while cold-induced BAT activity is coupled with an active synthesis of these metabolites. Together, the present work uncovers a mechanism through which brown fat controls metabolic health independent of thermogenesis via BCAA-derived nitrogen carriers acting on the liver.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO003112
Collection Summary:Animals were sacrificed immediately by cervical dislocation and tissues were rapidly extracted and immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for metabolite profiling.
Sample Type:Brown fat tissue

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR003128
Treatment Summary:All mice were housed under a 12 h – 12 h light/dark cycle. Room-temperature mice were housed at 23˚C in ventilated cages with an ACH of 25. Mice were fed a standard diet (Lab Diet 5008) or high-fat diet (Research Diets; D12492; 60% Fat) and had free access to food and water.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP003125
Sampleprep Summary:Animals were sacrificed immediately by cervical dislocation and tissues were rapidly extracted and immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for metabolite profiling. For metabolite extraction, tissues were weighed and then homogenized with extraction buffer which consisted of 80% methanol containing D₈-Phenylalanine internal standards at a 40:1 volume to wet weight ratio. Samples were centrifuged at 16,000 x g at 4 °C for 15 min. Finally, 50 μL supernatant was transferred to the glass insert for LC-MS detection.
