BMP-9, whose expression is highest in liver cells, has been demonstrated to regulate expression of enzymes involved in glucose homeostasis. However, the underlying mechanism of this effect has yet to be elucidated. We observed that MB109, a recombinant BMP-9 derivative, enhanced brown adipogenesis of human adipose tissue derived stem cells. With this observation of the cell culture system, we hypothesized that MB109 may be able to improve glucose metabolism by regulating expression of brown adipogenic genes. Systemic intraperitoneal injection of MB109 (200 mu g/kg/wk) suppressed weight gaining of high fat diet-induced obese mice by reducing sizes of white adipocytes and decreased 16 h fasting blood glucose levels without changing food consumption or apparent behavioral performances. MB109 induced expression of brown adipogenic genes in the subcutaneous but not in the visceral fat tissues from the mice fed with high fat diet. In addition, systematic injection of MB109 enhanced fatty acid synthase expression in the liver of obese mice, which may help attenuate an obesity-associated increase of blood glucose levels. Our results demonstrate a role of BMP-9 in brown adipogenesis and suppressing pathophysiology of high fat diet-induced obesity, presumably through the activin receptor like kinase 1 signaling pathway.
