Ndufa6 regulates adipogenic differentiation via Scd1.

ABSTRACT: Obesity and associated complications are becoming a pandemic. Inhibiting adipogenesis is an important intervention for the treatment of obesity. Despite intensive investigations, numerous mechanistic aspects of adipogenesis remain unclear, and many potential therapeutic targets have yet to be discovered. Transcriptomics and lipidomics approaches were used to explore the functional genes regulating adipogenic differentiation and the potential mechanism in OP9 cells and adipose-derived stem cells. In this study, we found that NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A6 (Ndufa6) participates in the regulation of adipogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we show that the effect of Ndufa6 is mediated through stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1) and demonstrate the inhibitory effect of a SCD1 inhibitor on adipogenesis. Our study broadens the understanding of adipogenic differentiation and offers NDUFA6-SCD1 as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity.

AFF4 regulates cellular adipogenic differentiation via targeting autophagy.

Project description:Transcriptional elongation is a universal and critical step during gene expression. The super elongation complex (SEC) regulates the rapid transcriptional induction by mobilizing paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Dysregulation of SEC is closely associated with human diseases. However, the physiological role of SEC during development and homeostasis remains largely unexplored. Here we studied the function of SEC in adipogenesis by manipulating an essential scaffold protein AF4/FMR2 family member 4 (AFF4), which assembles and stabilizes SEC. Knockdown of AFF4 in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes inhibits cellular adipogenic differentiation. Overexpression of AFF4 enhances adipogenesis and ectopic adipose tissue formation. We further generate Fabp4-cre driven adipose-specific Aff4 knockout mice and find that AFF4 deficiency impedes adipocyte development and white fat depot formation. Mechanistically, we discover AFF4 regulates autophagy during adipogenesis. AFF4 directly binds to autophagy-related protein ATG5 and ATG16L1, and promotes their transcription. Depleting ATG5 or ATG16L1 abrogates adipogenesis in AFF4-overepressing cells, while overexpression of ATG5 and ATG16L1 rescues the impaired adipogenesis in Aff4-knockout cells. Collectively, our results unveil the functional importance of AFF4 in regulating autophagy and adipogenic differentiation, which broaden our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of adipogenesis.

Epidermal Wnt/?-catenin signaling regulates adipocyte differentiation via secretion of adipogenic factors.

Project description:It has long been recognized that the hair follicle growth cycle and oscillation in the thickness of the underlying adipocyte layer are synchronized. Although factors secreted by adipocytes are known to regulate the hair growth cycle, it is unclear whether the epidermis can regulate adipogenesis. We show that inhibition of epidermal Wnt/?-catenin signaling reduced adipocyte differentiation in developing and adult mouse dermis. Conversely, ectopic activation of epidermal Wnt signaling promoted adipocyte differentiation and hair growth. When the Wnt pathway was activated in the embryonic epidermis, there was a dramatic and premature increase in adipocytes in the absence of hair follicle formation, demonstrating that Wnt activation, rather than mature hair follicles, is required for adipocyte generation. Epidermal and dermal gene expression profiling identified keratinocyte-derived adipogenic factors that are induced by ?-catenin activation. Wnt/?-catenin signaling-dependent secreted factors from keratinocytes promoted adipocyte differentiation in vitro, and we identified ligands for the bone morphogenetic protein and insulin pathways as proadipogenic factors. Our results indicate epidermal Wnt/?-catenin as a critical initiator of a signaling cascade that induces adipogenesis and highlight the role of epidermal Wnt signaling in synchronizing adipocyte differentiation with the hair growth cycle.

AFF4 regulates cellular adipogenic differentiation via targeting autophagy

Project description:AFF4 was discovered as a scaffold protein of Super Elongation Complex (SEC) and exhibites an essential function on osteogenesis, tumorigenesis and odontogenesis. However, the adipogenic biological functions of AFF4 need further explorations. Here, we demonstrate that knockdown of AFF4 inhibits adipogenesis in both human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and lineage-committed 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Conditional knocking down of Aff4 in transgenic mouse presents a thin body phenotype and impeded adipogenesis. Mechanistically, we define autophagy signaling as a crucial downstream of AFF4 through the combination of RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analyses. Depletion of AFF4 mediates the transcription of crutial autophagy genes ATG5 and ATG16L1. Simultaneous overexpression of ATG5 and ATG16L1 rescues the lineage commitment of AFF4-deficient cells. Our data elucidate that AFF4 is indispensable for adipogenic differentiation and reveal a novel mechanism for adipogenesis at transcriptional level.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM23 regulates adipocyte differentiation via stabilization of the adipogenic activator PPARγ.

Project description:Adipocyte differentiation is a strictly controlled process regulated by a series of transcriptional activators. Adipogenic signals activate early adipogenic activators and facilitate the transient formation of early enhanceosomes at target genes. These enhancer regions are subsequently inherited by late enhanceosomes. PPARγ is one of the late adipogenic activators and is known as a master regulator of adipogenesis. However, the factors that regulate PPARγ expression remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that a novel ubiquitin E3 ligase, tripartite motif protein 23 (TRIM23), stabilizes PPARγ protein and mediates atypical polyubiquitin conjugation. TRIM23 knockdown caused a marked decrease in PPARγ protein abundance during preadipocyte differentiation, resulting in a severe defect in late adipogenic differentiation, whereas it did not affect the formation of early enhanceosomes. Our results suggest that TRIM23 plays a critical role in the switching from early to late adipogenic enhanceosomes by stabilizing PPARγ protein possibly via atypical polyubiquitin conjugation.

AFF1 inhibits adipogenic differentiation via targeting TGM2 transcription.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:AF4/FMR2 family member 1 (AFF1), known as a central scaffolding protein of super elongation complex (SEC), regulates gene transcription. We previously reported that AFF1 inhibited osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (hMSCs). However, its role in adipogenic differentiation has not been elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS:hMSCs and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were cultured and induced for adipogenic differentiation. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were applied to deplete AFF1 while lentiviruses expressing HA-Aff1 were used for overexpression. Oil Red O staining, triglyceride (TAG) quantification, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis and ChIP-qPCR were performed. To evaluate the adipogenesis in vivo, BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously injected with Aff1-overexpressed 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. RESULTS:AFF1 depletion leads to an enhanced adipogenesis in both hMSCs and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Overexpression of Aff1 in 3T3-L1 cells results in the reduction of adipogenic differentiation and less adipose tissue formation in vivo. Mechanistically, AFF1 binds to the promoter region of Tgm2 gene and regulates its transcription. Overexpression of Tgm2 largely rescues adipogenic differentiation of Aff1-deficient cells. CONCLUSIONS:Our data indicate that AFF1 inhibits adipogenic differentiation by regulating the transcription of TGM2.

Mitochondrial respiration regulates adipogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult multipotent stem cells which can be isolated from bone marrow, adipose tissue as well as other tissues and have the capacity to differentiate into a variety of mesenchymal cell types such as adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Differentiation of stem cells into mature cell types is guided by growth factors and hormones, but recent studies suggest that metabolic shifts occur during differentiation and can modulate the differentiation process. We therefore investigated mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial respiration and the mitochondrial membrane potential during adipogenic differentiation of human MSCs. In addition, we inhibited mitochondrial function to assess its effects on adipogenic differentiation. Our data show that mitochondrial biogenesis and oxygen consumption increase markedly during adipogenic differentiation, and that reducing mitochondrial respiration by hypoxia or by inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain significantly suppresses adipogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we used a novel approach to suppress mitochondrial activity using a specific siRNA-based knockdown of the mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), which also resulted in an inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Taken together, our data demonstrates that increased mitochondrial activity is a prerequisite for MSC differentiation into adipocytes. These findings suggest that metabolic modulation of adult stem cells can maintain stem cell pluripotency or direct adult stem cell differentiation.

Histone demethylase KDM7A reciprocally regulates adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation via regulation of C/EBP? and canonical Wnt signalling.

Project description:Recent emerging evidences revealed that epigenetic methylation of histone and DNA regulates the lineage commitment of mesenchymal progenitor cells. This study was undertaken to delineate the actions of histone lysine demethylase 7A (KDM7A) on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Kdm7a expression was up-regulated in primary marrow stromal cells and established stromal ST2 line after adipogenic and osteogenic treatment. Silencing of endogenous Kdm7a in the cells blocked adipogenic differentiation whereas promoted osteogenic differentiation. Conversely, overexpression of wild-type Kdm7a in the progenitor cells enhanced adipogenic differentiation whereas inhibited osteogenic differentiation. However, the effect of KDM7A on cell differentiation was largely attenuated when the point mutation was made that abolishes enzymatic activity of KDM7A. Mechanism investigations revealed that silencing of Kdm7a down-regulated the expression of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ? (C/EBP?) and secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (Sfrp1). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay revealed that KDM7A directly binds to the promoters of C/EBP? and Sfrp1 and removes the histone methylation marks H3K9me2 and H3K27me2. Furthermore, silencing of Kdm7a activated canonical Wnt signalling. Thereafter, activation of canonical Wnt signalling through silencing of Sfrp1 in ST2 attenuated the stimulation of adipogenic differentiation and inhibition of osteogenic differentiation by KDM7A. Our study suggests that KDM7A balances adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation from progenitor cells through epigenetic control of C/EBP? and canonical Wnt signalling and implicates that control of KDM7A action has an epigenetic perspective of curtailing metabolic disorders like osteoporosis.

Cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate regulates the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs via MAPK and NF-κB signaling.

Project description:Cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a bacterial second messenger that can be recognized by infected host cells and activate the immunoinflammatory response. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of c-di-AMP on the differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and its underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we find that the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with chronic periodontitis has a higher expression level of c-di-AMP than that of healthy people. In vitro, c-di-AMP influences the differentiation of hPDLSCs by upregulating Toll-like receptors (TLRs); specifically, it inhibits osteogenic differentiation by activating NF-κB and ERK/MAPK and promotes adipogenic differentiation through the NF-κB and p38/MAPK signaling pathways. Inhibitors of TLRs or activated pathways reduce the changes induced by c-di-AMP. Our results establish the potential correlation among bacterial c-di-AMP, periodontal tissue homeostasis and chronic periodontitis pathogenesis.

Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) Positively Regulates Adipogenic Differentiation in C3H10T1/2 Cells

Project description:Neuropilin 1 (NRP1), a non-tyrosine kinase receptor for several ligands, is highly expressed in many kinds of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but its function is poorly understood. In this study, we explored the roles of full-length NRP1 and glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-modifiable NRP1 in adipogenesis in C3H10T1/2 cells. The expression of full-length NRP1 and GAG-modifiable NRP1 increased during adipogenic differentiation in C3H10T1/2 cells. NRP1 knockdown repressed adipogenesis while decreasing the levels of Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Moreover, the scaffold protein JIP4 was involved in adipogenesis in C3H10T1/2 cells by interacting with NRP1. Furthermore, overexpression of non-GAG-modifiable NRP1 mutant (S612A) greatly promoted adipogenic differentiation, accompanied by upregulation of the phosphorylated Akt and ERK1/2. Taken together, these results indicate that NRP1 is a key regulator that promotes adipogenesis in C3H10T1/2 cells by interacting with JIP4 and activating the Akt and ERK1/2 pathway. Non-GAG-modifiable NRP1 mutant (S612A) accelerates the process of adipogenic differentiation, suggesting that GAG glycosylation is a negative post-translational modification of NRP1 in adipogenic differentiation.
