DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Adipose tissue plays an important role in energy homeostasis by storing dietary energy in the form of triglyceride and releasing free fatty acids through hydrolysis of triglycerides in times of metabolic need. The study of adipocyte differentiation is becoming increasingly important given the role of adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases. Mammals have distinct specialized types of adipose tissue: white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). WAT stores energy whereas BAT is specialized to dissipate stored chemical energy in the form of heat and may have anti-obesity function. Recent studies have revealed an inherent plasticity of WAT to exhibit genetic and physiological features of BAT upon exposure to cold, ß-adrenergic agonists, or thiazolidinediones. The center of this phenotypic switch is peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a master transcriptional regulator of both WAT and BAT differentiation. PPARγ is required for terminal adipocyte differentiation, as mice deficient for this nuclear receptor lack both WAT and BAT. The mechanism by which PPARγ directs adipose subtype-specific gene expression programs is still unclear. We recently discovered TLE3 as a dual-function WAT-specific PPARγ coregulator that forms both active and repressive transcriptional complexes to respectively drive WAT and suppress BAT differentiation. Moreover, our unpublished preliminary ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq data show that i) genome-wide TLE3 binding correlates with both PPARγ enrichment on adipogenic regulatory sites and the regulation of adipose subtype-specific gene expression and ii) TLE3 binding is enriched in DNA regions containing several different pro-adipogenic transcription factor motifs. In this proposal we aim to determine the role of PPARγ:TLE3 axis in the nucleation of transcription factors and epigenetic modifications for WAT- and BAT-specific gene expression. We will also examine the consequence of TLE3 ablation on global adipocyte gene expression and PPARγ occupancy on gene promoter/enhancers. Overall, the concepts and methodologies used in this proposal will highlight the intricate balance between transcriptional programs and adipose-specific phenotype that may facilitate therapeutic manipulation of energy expenditure in patients with obesity and metabolic disorders.

描述(由申请人提供)：脂肪组织在能量平衡中起着重要的作用，它以甘油三酯的形式储存饮食能量，并在代谢需要时通过甘油三酯的水解释放游离脂肪酸。鉴于脂肪组织在肥胖、胰岛素抵抗和心血管疾病等代谢性疾病发病机制中的作用，脂肪细胞分化的研究变得越来越重要。哺乳动物有不同的特殊脂肪组织类型：白色脂肪组织(WAT)和棕色脂肪组织(BAT)。Wat储存能量，而BAT专门以热量的形式分散储存的化学能量，可能具有减肥功能。最近的研究揭示了Wat的固有可塑性，当暴露于冷的、？肾上腺素能激动剂或噻唑烷二酮时，Wat显示出蝙蝠的遗传和生理特征。这种表型转换的中心是过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ，它是WAT和BAT分化的主要转录调节因子。PPARγ是终末脂肪细胞分化所必需的，因为缺乏这种核受体的小鼠缺乏WAT和BAT。PPARγ引导脂肪亚型特异性基因表达程序的机制仍不清楚。我们最近发现Tle3是一个双功能的Wat特异的PPARγ共调节因子，它形成活性和抑制性转录复合体，分别驱动Wat和抑制BAT分化。此外，我们未发表的芯片序列和RNA-序列数据表明：i)全基因组Tle3结合与PPARγ在成脂调控位点上的丰富和脂肪亚型特异性基因表达的调控有关；ii)Tle3结合在包含几个不同的促成脂转录因子基序的DNA区中丰富。在这项建议中，我们的目标是确定PPARγ：TLE3轴在转录因子的成核和WAT和BAT特异性基因表达的表观遗传修饰中的作用。我们还将研究TLE3消融对全球脂肪细胞基因表达和PPAR基因启动子/增强子γ占有率的影响。总体而言，本提案中使用的概念和方法将突出转录程序和脂肪特异性表型之间的复杂平衡，这可能有助于肥胖症和代谢紊乱患者的能量消耗的治疗操作。
