ADH5-mediated NO Bioactivity Maintains Metabolic Homeostasis in Brown Adipose Tissue
2020
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenic activity is tightly regulated by cellular redox status but the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation are incompletely understood. Protein S-nitrosylation, the nitric oxide-mediated cysteine thiol modification of proteins, plays important roles in cellular redox regulation. Here we show that both diet-induced obesity (DIO) and acute cold exposure elevates protein S-nitrosylation of BAT proteins, including UCP1, to regulate thermogenesis. This effect in BAT is regulated largely by S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR, ADH5), a denitrosylase that balances the intracellular nitroso-redox status. Loss of ADH5 specifically in BAT impairs UCP1-dependent thermogenesis during acute cold challenge and worsens metabolic dysfunction during diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Adh5 expression in BAT is controlled by the transcription factor heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and administration of an HSF1 activator to the BAT of mice with DIO increased Adh5 expression and significantly improved UCP1-mediated mitochondrial respiration. Together, these data demonstrate that ADH5 controls BAT nitroso-redox homeostasis to regulate adipose thermogenesis which may be therapeutically targeted to improve metabolic health.
