Article Abstract
Aging-associated decline in brown adipose tissue (BAT) function and mass contributes to energy and metabolic homeostasis disruption. Alcohol dehydrogenase 5 (ADH5) is a major denitrosylase that prevents cellular nitro-thiol redox imbalance, an essential feature of aging. However, the functional significance of BAT ADH5 in the context of aging is largely unknown. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of BAT ADH5 in protecting against age-related metabolic dysfunction. We show that aging promotes aberrant BAT protein S-nitrosylation modification and downregulates ADH5 in mice. Furthermore, BAT ADH5-deletion accelerates BAT senescence and aging-associated declines in metabolic homeostasis and cognition. Mechanistically, we found that aging inactivates BAT by suppressing heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a well-recognized proteostasis regulator. Moreover, pharmacologically enhancing HSF1 improved BAT senescence, metabolic decline, and cognitive dysfunction in aged mice. Together, these findings suggest that the BAT HSF1-ADH5 signaling cascade plays a key role in protecting against age-related systemic functional decline. Ultimately, unraveling the role of thermogenic adipose nitrosative signaling will provide novel insights into the interplay between BAT nitric oxide bioactivity and metabolism in the context of aging.

In an interplay with parenchymal cells of metabolically active organs such as heart and adipose tissues, vascular endothelial cells are important for the regulation of nutrient uptake and organ-specific energy metabolism. Based on high expression of the scavenger receptor B1 (SR-B1) in capillary endothelial cells of white and brown adipose tissue (BAT), we proposed a functional role for this receptor in lipid handling and adaptive thermogenesis. To address this hypothesis, we generated mice with an endothelial-specific knockout of SR-B1 and performed metabolic turnover and indirect calorimetry studies in response to environmental cues such as cold exposure and high fat diet feeding.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common skin and skin structure infections and are mostly polymicrobial, requiring hospitalization and broad-spectrum antibiotics. This clinical trial evaluated the noninferiority of delafloxacin vs best available therapy (BAT) for the treatment of superficial or deep incisional SSI following a cardiothoracic/related leg or abdominal surgical procedure.
Methods: In this randomized, observer-blinded, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, phase IIIb study, patients with SSI were randomized 1:1 to receive delafloxacin 300 mg intravenous (IV)/450 mg oral (OS) or BAT IV/OS (vancomycin or linezolid for cardiothoracic SSI, piperacillin/tazobactam or tigecycline for abdominal SSI).

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a key role in metabolic homeostasis through its thermogenic effects and the secretion of regulatory molecules. Here we report that RAP250 haploinsufficiency stimulates BAT in mice, thus contributing to a decrease in fat accumulation. Local in vivo AAV-mediated RAP250 silencing in BAT reduces body weight and fat mass and enhances glucose oxidation, thereby indicating that RAP250 participates in the regulation of BAT metabolic activity.
