Severe burn injuries are defined by a prolonged hypermetabolic response characterized by increases in resting energy expenditure, systemic catabolism, and multi-organ dysfunction. The sustained elevation of catecholamines following a burn injury is thought to significantly contribute to this hypermetabolic response, leading to changes in adipose tissue such as increased lipolysis and the browning of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT). Failure to mitigate these adverse changes within the adipose tissue has been shown to exacerbate the post-burn hypermetabolic response and lead to negative outcomes. Propranolol, a non-selective β-blocker, has been clinically administered to improve outcomes of pediatric and adult burn patients, but there is inadequate knowledge of its effects on the distinct adipose tissue depots. In this study, we investigated the adipose depot-specific alterations that occur in response to burn injury. Moreover, we explored the therapeutic effects of β-adrenoceptor blockade via the drug propranolol in attenuating these burn-induced pathophysiological changes within the different fat depots. Using a murine model of thermal injury, we show that burn injury induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the epididymal (eWAT) but not in the inguinal (iWAT) WAT depot. Conversely, burn injury induces the activation of key lipolytic pathways in both eWAT and iWAT depots. Treatment of burn mice with propranolol effectively mitigated adverse burn-induced alterations in the adipose by alleviating ER stress in the eWAT and reducing lipolysis in both depots. Furthermore, propranolol treatment in post-burn mice attenuated UCP1-mediated subcutaneous WAT browning following injury. Overall, our findings suggest that propranolol serves as an effective therapeutic intervention to mitigate the adverse changes induced by burn injury, including ER stress, lipotoxicity, and WAT browning, in both adipose tissue depots. Key messages: Burn injury adversely affects adipose tissue metabolism via distinct changes in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose depots. Propranolol, a non-selective β-adrenergic blocker, attenuates many of the adverse adipose tissue changes mediated by burn injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
