- Abstract
- Systemic energy imbalance between energy intake and expenditure lies at the center of obesity pandemic. Brown adipocyte plays an important role in increasing energy expenditure by generating heat. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) regulates the expression of glucose transporter 1 and several glycolytic enzymes, however its role in brown adipose tissues has not been elucidated, yet. There are two major isoforms of HIF in adipocytes, HIF1α and HIF2α. Here, I studied the mechanism of how HIF1α regulates cold-induced thermogenesis in brown adipocytes. HIF1α expression was increased in brown adipose tissue after cold exposure. Moreover, β adrenergic receptor agonist treatment increased HIF1α expression in brown adipocytes in vitro. HIF1α knockdown decreased isoproterenol- induced UCP1 expression. On the other hand, I found that HIF2α is involved in brown pre-adipocyte differentiation. These results suggest that HIF1α and HIF2α can modulate adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue.
