Whole tissue RNA-sequencing analysis reveals proliferation correlates with immune cell recruitment during cold exposure.
(A) Heatmap of K-means clustering of whole tissue RNA-sequencing data. Rows of the heatmap are genes, and columns are individual RNA-seq libraries. Red and green colors represent upregulation and downregulation, respectively. Analysis includes five replicates (individual mice) each from seven different cold exposure durations: room temperature controls, and 6 hr, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, or 5 days of cold exposure for a total of 35 RNA-seq libraries. (B) Correlation of specific variables in the RNA-seq data with Top2a expression by individual library. r2 values are displayed on the plot.

scRNA-seq reveals ASC heterogeneity and maps adipogenic trajectories in mouse iBAT.

Clustering identified eight major clusters, highlighted in different colors. ASC, adipose tissue stromal cell; VEC, vascular endothelial cell; VSMC, vascular smooth muscle cells; Prolif/Diff, proliferating/differentiating cells. DEGs that define these clusters are in Supplementary file 1. (B) t-SNE plot from (A) split into cells from the separate treatments (CONTROL and COLD). Circles highlight cold-induced clusters. (C) t-SNE plot of 19,659 re-clustered ASC and Prolif/Diff cells from (A). The t-SNE plot and clustering identified six clusters. Prolif/Non-diff, proliferating/non-differentiating; Prolif/Diff, proliferating/differentiating. DEGs that define these clusters are in Supplementary file 2.

Schematic diagram of single-cell library generation and processing.
(A) Schematic of one single-cell experiment from cohorts of control and cold-exposed mice. Mouse iBAT was harvested and digested into the stomal vascular fraction (SVF). These cells were separated into lineage marker positive (Lin+) and negative (Lin-) cell fractions with magnetic bead cell separation (MACS). Single-cell libraries were prepared from these four cell fractions. (B) Method of demultiplexing and data analysis for the scRNA-seq libraries. Analysis for C57 and Adrb1 KO libraries differed slightly due to method of library generation. (C) Summary of the single-cell libraries presented in this paper. Note that each row of the table corresponds to two scRNA-seq libraries: Lin+ and Lin-.

Flash-labeling of proliferating cells and proximity of MHCII+ dendritic cells.
(A, top) Procedure for EdU labeling to trace dividing ASCs and differentiated adipocytes. Pdgfra-CreERT2 x LSL-tdTomato were used for genetic tracing of PDGFRA+ cells. Seven days after induction with tamoxifen, animals were housed in the cold for up to 5 days. For dividing ASCs, on the third day, animals were injected with EdU and sacrificed 2 hr later. For differentiated adipocytes, animals were injected with EdU on days 3 and 4 of cold exposure and sacrificed on day 5. (A, bottom) Representative images from iBAT for the experiments outlined, where tissue was stained with EdU (green) or MHCII (pink). tdTomato (red) was detected by native fluorescence. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Scale bar, 10 μm. (B) Alternatively, C57 mice were exposed to cold for up to 5 days.

Schematic demonstrating adaptation to cold-induced stress in brown adipose tissue (non-shivering thermogenesis).
Under steady state conditions, the capacity for thermogenesis is in equilibrium with the demand for thermoregulation. As the demand for heat production increases (i.e. cold exposure) BAT can increase thermogenic capacity (upregulate UCP1, mitochondrial content); however, continued cold exposure exceeds the capacity of existing adipocytes (non-shivering thermogenesis) and muscle (shivering thermogenesis) to regulate body temperature, resulting in brown adipocyte niche formation and neogenesis until a new steady state level is reached.
