Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Prolonged cold exposure stimulates the recruitment of beige adipocytes within white adipose tissue. Beige adipocytes depend on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to drive thermogenesis. The transcriptional coregulator TLE3 inhibits mitochondrial and metabolic gene expression in beige adipocytes. Overall design: mRNA profiles of iWAT immortalized preadipocytes, differentiated in culture, and knocking out TLE3 after differentiation, were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
Publication Title
Loss of TLE3 promotes the mitochondrial program in beige adipocytes and improves glucose metabolism.

- Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Loss of functional -cell mass is a hallmark of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and methods for restoring these cells are needed. Nkx6.1 induces -cell proliferation, but the pathway by which Nkx6.1 activates -cell expansion has not been defined. Here we demonstrate that Nkx6.1 induces expression of the Nr4a1 and Nr4a3 orphan nuclear receptors, and that these factors are both necessary and sufficient for Nkx6.1-mediated -cell proliferation. Overexpression of the Nr4a receptors results in increased expression of key cell cycle inducers E2F1 and cyclin E1. Furthermore, Nr4a receptors induce components of the anaphase-promoting complex, including Ube2c.

Description
Loss of functional -cell mass is a hallmark of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and methods for restoring these cells are needed. We have previously reported that overexpression of the homeodomain transcription factor Nkx6.1 in rat pancreatic islets induces -cell proliferation and enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, but the pathway by which Nkx6.1 activates -cell expansion has not been defined. Here we demonstrate that Nkx6.1 induces expression of the Nr4a1 and Nr4a3 orphan nuclear receptors, and that these factors are both necessary and sufficient for Nkx6.1-mediated -cell proliferation. Consistent with this finding, global knockout of Nr4a1 results in a decrease in -cell area in neonatal and young mice. Overexpression of Nkx6.1 and the Nr4a receptors results in increased expression of key cell cycle inducers E2F1 and cyclin E1. Furthermore, Nkx6.1 and Nr4a receptors induce components of the anaphase-promoting complex, including Ube2c, resulting in degradation of the cell cycle inhibitor p21CIP1. These studies identify a new bipartite pathway for activation of -cell proliferation, suggesting several new targets for expansion of functional -cell mass.

Description
The total abundance of phosphatidylcholine (PC) is known to influence lipoprotein production. However, the role of specific phospholipid species in lipid transport has been difficult to assess due to an inability to selectively manipulate membrane composition in vivo. Here we show that the LXR-regulated phospholipid remodeling enzyme lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (Lpcat3) is a critical determinant of membrane phospholipid composition and lipoprotein production. Mice lacking Lpcat3 in the liver show defects in lipoprotein production.

Lpcat3-dependent production of arachidonoyl phospholipids is a key determinant of triglyceride secretion.

Description
Abstract: The LXR and SREBP transcription factors are key regulators of cellular and systemic cholesterol homeostasis. The molecular mechanisms that integrate these pathways are incompletely understood. Here we show that ligand activation of LXRs in liver not only promotes cholesterol efflux, but also simultaneously inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis. We further identify the long non-coding RNA LeXis as an unexpected mediator of this effect. LeXis is robustly induced in mouse liver in response to western diet feeding or pharmacologic LXR activation. Expression of LeXis in liver inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis and lowers plasma cholesterol levels. Reciprocally, knockdown of LeXis increases hepatic cholesterol content and raises plasma cholesterol levels. LeXis interacts with the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Raly and regulates its binding to cholesterol biosynthetic gene promoters. These studies outline a regulatory role for a non-coding RNA in lipid metabolism and advance our understanding of the mechanisms orchestrating systemic sterol homeostasis. Overall design: Global RNA expression from primary hepatocytes treated with or without GW3965 were compared by RNA-Seq.

Description
Vascular permeability is frequently associated with inflammation and it is triggered by chemokines and by a cohort of secreted permeability factors, such as VEGF. In contrast, here we showed that the physiological vascular permeability that precedes implantation is directly controlled by progesterone receptor (PR) and it is independent of VEGF. Both global and endothelial-specific deletion of PR block physiological vascular permeability in the uterus while misexpression of PR in the endothelium of other organs results in ectopic vascular leakage. Integration of genome-wide transcriptional profile of endothelium and ChIP-sequencing revealed that PR induces a NR4A1 (Nur77/TR3) specific transcriptional program that broadly regulates vascular permeability in response to progesterone. This program triggers concurrent suppression of several junctional proteins and leads to an effective, timely and venule-specific regulation of vascular barrier function. Silencing NR4A1 blocks PR-mediated permeability responses indicating a direct link between PR and NR4A1. These results reveal a previously unknown function for progesterone receptor on endothelial cell biology with consequences to physiological vascular permeability and implications to the clinical use of progestins and anti-progestins on blood vessel integrity. Overall design: Examination of PR target genes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using RNA-seq (PR infected only -PR only and PR infected followed by ligand treatment-PR+P)
