Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis dissipates energy through heat production and thereby it opposes metabolic disease. It is mediated by mitochondrial membrane uncoupling, yet the mechanisms sustaining the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in brown adipocytes are poorly understood. Here we show that isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) activity and the expression of the soluble adenylate cyclase 10 (ADCY10), a CO/bicarbonate sensor residing in mitochondria, are upregulated in BAT of cold-exposed mice. IDH inhibition or ADCY10 deficiency reduces cold resistance of mice. Mechanistically, IDH increases the ΔΨm in brown adipocytes via ADCY10. ADCY10 sustains complex I activity and the ΔΨm via exchange protein activated by cAMP1 (EPAC1). However, neither IDH nor ADCY10 inhibition affect uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) expression. Hence, we suggest that ADCY10, acting as a CO/bicarbonate sensor, mediates the effect of IDH on complex I activity through cAMP-EPAC1 signaling, thereby maintaining the ΔΨm and enabling thermogenesis in brown adipocytes.

Aim: Aging decreases the metabolic rate and increases the risk of metabolic diseases, highlighting the need for alternative strategies to improve metabolic health. Heat treatment (HT) has shown various metabolic benefits, but its ability to counteract aging-associated metabolic slowdown remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of whole-body HT on energy metabolism, explore the potential mechanism involving the heat sensor TRPV1, and examine the modulation of gut microbiota.

Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate energy to generate heat through uncoupled respiration, and the hormone norepinephrine plays an important role in stimulating brown fat thermogenesis and beige adipocyte development in white adipose depots. Increasing energy expenditure by promoting the function and development of brown and beige fat is a potential approach to treat obesity and diabetes. Here, we investigated the effects of macrophage sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) on the regulation of the norepinephrine content of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and on obesity in mice.

Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) signaling in the brain is associated with body weight loss, reduced food intake, and improved glycemic control in obese mice through unclear mechanisms. Here, we investigated the effects of central FGF19 administration on peripheral tissues, focusing on adipose tissue, and its contributions to body weight loss. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of the adult murine hypothalamus, we found that FGF19 has the potential to target multiple cell populations, including astrocytes-tanycytes, microglia, neurons, and oligodendrocytes.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased significantly over the past three decades, with an estimated 30-40% of cases remaining undiagnosed. Brown and beige adipose tissues are known for their remarkable catabolic capacity, and their ability to diminish blood glucose plasma concentration. Beige adipose tissue can be differentiated from adipose-derived stem cells or through transdifferentiation from white adipocytes.

Aims: Isthmin-1 (ISM1), a secretory protein predominantly derived from brown adipose tissue, enhances glucose tolerance and attenuates hepatic steatosis. However, its potential involvement in white adipose tissue remodelling remains elusive, which profoundly impacts adipocyte insulin sensitivity and consequently alters systemic metabolic homeostasis.
Materials And Methods: ISM1 expression profiles in human and mouse were systematically characterized using Tabula Sapiens.
