  • Current study investigated the impact of maternal and postnatal overnutrition on phenotype of adipose, in relation to offspring thermogenesis and sex. Female C57BL/6 J mice were fed with CHOW or high fat diet (HFD) for 2 weeks before mating, throughout gestation and lactation. At weaning, pups were fed to 9 weeks old with CHOW or HFD, which resulted in four groups for each gender——male or female: CHOW-CHOW (CC), CHOW-HFD (CH), HFD-CHOW (HC), HFD-HFD (HH). Maternal and post-weaning HFD enhanced thermogenic factors such as Acox1, Dio2 and Cox8b in iBAT of male and female offspring, but increased SIRT1, PGC-1α and UCP1 only in female. However, Acox1, Dio2 and Cox8b mRNA expression and SIRT1, PGC-1α and UCP1 protein expression were only enhanced upon maternal and post-weaning HFD in sWAT and pWAT of female offspring. Increased metrnl expression in adipose were observed in sex- and depot-specific manner, while enhanced circulating metrnl level was only observed in male offspring undergoing maternal HFD. Palmitic acid changed metrnl expression during preadipocytes differentiation and siRNA-mediated knockdown of metrnl inhibited preadipocyte differentiation. Female offspring were more prone to resist adverse outcomes induced by maternal and post-weaning overnutrition, which probably related to metrnl expression and thermogenesis.
