Based on recent evidence that fatty acid synthase and endogenously produced fatty acid derivatives are required for adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, we conducted a small interfering RNA-based screen to identify other fatty acid-metabolizing enzymes that may mediate this effect. Of 24 enzymes screened, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 2 (SCD2) was found to be uniquely and absolutely required for adipogenesis. Remarkably, SCD2 also controls the maintenance of adipocyte-specific gene expression in fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, including the expression of SCD1. Despite the high sequence similarity between SCD2 and SCD1, silencing of SCD1 did not down-regulate 3T3-L1 cell differentiation or gene expression. SCD2 mRNA expression was also uniquely elevated 44-fold in adipose tissue upon feeding mice a high fat diet, whereas SCD1 showed little response. The inhibition of adipogenesis caused by SCD2 depletion was associated with a decrease in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) mRNA and protein, whereas in mature adipocytes loss of SCD2 diminished PPARgamma protein levels, with little change in mRNA levels. In the latter case, SCD2 depletion did not change the degradation rate of PPARgamma protein but decreased the metabolic labeling of PPARgamma protein using [(35)S]methionine/cysteine, indicating protein translation was decreased. This requirement of SCD2 for optimal protein synthesis in fully differentiated adipocytes was verified by polysome profile analysis, where a shift in the mRNA to monosomes was apparent in response to SCD2 silencing. These results reveal that SCD2 is required for the induction and maintenance of PPARgamma protein levels and adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. 相似文献

The prevalence of obesity and its associated metabolic diseases worldwide has focused attention on understanding the mechanisms underlying adipogenesis. The nuclear receptor PPARgamma has emerged as a central regulator of adipose tissue function and formation. Despite the identification of numerous PPARgamma targets involved in a range of processes, from lipid droplet formation to adipokine secretion, information is still lacking on targets downstream of PPARgamma that directly affect fat cell differentiation. Here we identify HRASLS3 as a novel PPARgamma regulated gene with a role in adipogenesis. HRASLS3 expression increases during the differentiation of preadipocyte cell lines and is highly expressed in white and brown adipose tissue in mice. HRASLS3 expression is induced by PPARgamma ligands in preadipocyte cell lines as well in adipose tissue in vivo. We demonstrate that the HRASLS3 promoter contains a functional PPAR response element and is a direct target for regulation by PPARgamma/RXR heterodimers. Finally, we show that overexpression of HRASLS3 augments PPARgamma-driven lipid accumulation and adipogenesis, whereas siRNA-mediated knockdown of HRASLS3 expression decreases differentiation. Together, these results identify HRASLS3 as one of the downstream effectors of PPARgamma action in adipogenesis. 相似文献

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling has been implicated in repressing adipogenesis. Several lines of evidence show that the possible mechanism is blockade of PPARgamma induction. However, the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we demonstrated that Wnt3a conditioned medium suppresses C/EBPbeta/delta-induced adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells by inhibiting PPARgamma induction. In addition, the mutual activation of PPARgamma and C/EBPalpha was also repressed in the presence of Wnt3a. To further investigate the role of the canonical Wnt pathway in adipogenesis, we used mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) isolated from Lrp6-deficient embryos. Contrary to wild-type MEFs, Lrp6-deficient MEFs showed spontaneous adipogenesis and escaped the suppressive effect of exogenous Wnt3a. These findings suggest a critical role of Wnt/Lrp6/beta-catenin signaling in adipogenesis and cell fate decision of mesenchymal stem cells. 相似文献

The nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) is the central regulator of adipogenesis. Although it is the target for several drugs that function as agonist activators, a high affinity endogenous ligand for this receptor that is involved in regulating adipogenesis has yet to be identified. Here, we investigated the requirement for ligand activation of PPARgamma in fat cell differentiation, taking advantage of a natural mutant of this receptor that does not bind or become activated by any known natural or synthetic ligand. When ectopically expressed in PPARgamma-null fibroblasts, this Q286P allele was able to strongly promote morphological adipogenesis, without any significant difference compared with wild-type PPARgamma. In addition, no significant differences were found in the expression of several adipogenic genes between the wild-type and Q286P mutant alleles. To extend our studies to an in vivo setting, we performed subcutaneous injections of PPARgamma-expressing fibroblasts into nude mice. We found that both wild-type and Q286P mutant-expressing fibroblasts were able to generate fat pads in the mice. These results suggest that the binding and activation of PPARgamma by agonist ligands may not be required for adipogenesis under physiological conditions. 相似文献

Osteoblasts and adipocytes are thought to derive from a common bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) precursor. Activation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in the differentiation of BMSCs along either of these two lineages, promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting adipogenesis. Liganded nuclear receptors, including the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), can also affect BMSCs differentiation. To address whether VDR ablation modulates the differentiation of BMSCs into the osteoblast or adipogenic lineages, BMSCs were isolated from VDR null mice and from their wild-type littermates. VDR ablation did not alter osteoblastic differentiation. However, when cultured under adipogenic conditions, BMSCs from the VDR null mice expressed higher mRNA levels of PPARgamma and of markers of adipogenic differentiation. An increase in the size and number of mature adipocyte foci was also observed in cultures isolated from VDR null mice relative to those isolated from wild-type mice. To address whether the increased adipogenesis observed in the VDR null cultures was associated with inhibition of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, mRNA levels for DKK1 and SFRP2 were examined. Cultures from the VDR null mice expressed higher levels of mRNA encoding DKK1 and SFRP2 than did the wild-type cultures. This difference is, at least in part, due to ligand-dependent actions of the VDR, since 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 suppressed DKK1 and SFRP2 expression in wild-type cultures. Thus, the VDR inhibits adipogenesis of BMSCs at least in part by suppressing the expression of inhibitors of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. 相似文献

Modulation of adipogenesis-related gene expression by estrogen-related receptor gamma during adipocytic differentiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRgamma) is an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates cellular energy metabolism by modulating gene expression involved in oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in brown adipose tissue and heart. However, the physiological role of ERRgamma in adipogenesis and the development of white adipose tissue has not been well studied. Here we show that ERRgamma was up-regulated in murine mesenchyme-derived cells, especially in ST2 and C3H10T1/2 cells, at mRNA levels under the adipogenic differentiation condition including the inducer of cAMP, glucocorticoid, and insulin. The up-regulation of ERRgamma mRNA was also observed in inguinal white adipose and brown adipose tissues of mice fed a high-fat diet. Gene knockdown by ERRgamma-specific siRNA results in mRNA down-regulation of adipogenic marker genes including fatty acid binding protein 4, PPARgamma, and PGC-1beta in a preadipocyte cell line 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and mesenchymal ST2 and C3H10T1/2 cells in the adipogenesis medium. In contrast, stable expression of ERRgamma in 3T3-L1 cells resulted in up-regulation of these adipogenic marker genes under the adipogenic condition. These results suggest that ERRgamma positively regulate the adipocyte differentiation with modulating the expression of various adipogenesis-related genes. 相似文献

In an effort to identify novel candidate regulators of adipogenesis, gene profiling of differentiating 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was analyzed using a novel algorithm. We report here the characterization of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) as a novel regulator of adipogenesis. XOR lies downstream of C/EBPbeta and upstream of PPARgamma, in the cascade of factors that control adipogenesis, and it regulates PPARgamma activity. In vitro, knockdown of XOR inhibits adipogenesis and PPARgamma activity while constitutive overexpression increases activity of the PPARgamma receptor in both adipocytes and preadipocytes. In vivo, XOR -/- mice demonstrate 50% reduction in adipose mass versus wild-type littermates while obese ob/ob mice exhibit increased concentrations of XOR mRNA and urate in the adipose tissue. We propose that XOR is a novel regulator of adipogenesis and of PPARgamma activity and essential for the regulation of fat accretion. Our results identify XOR as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic abnormalities beyond hyperuricemia. 相似文献

Retinoic acid (RA) inhibits adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes but is effective only early in adipogenesis. RA prevented induction of the adipogenic factors PPARgamma and C/EBPalpha. Using receptor-specific ligands, we determined that the effects of RA were mediated by liganded RA receptors (RARs) rather than retinoid X receptors. Preadipocytes expressed primarily RARalpha and RARgamma; during adipocyte differentiation, RARalpha gene expression was nearly constant, whereas RARgamma1 mRNA and protein levels dramatically decreased. Ectopic expression of RARgamma1 extended the period of effectiveness of RA by 24 to 48h; RARalpha expression had a similar effect, suggesting functional redundancy of RAR subtypes. Remarkably, RA inhibited differentiation when added after PPARgamma1 and PPARgamma2 proteins had already been expressed and resulted in the loss of PPARgamma proteins from cells. By 72 to 96 h after the induction of differentiation, RA failed to prevent differentiation of even ectopic-RAR-expressing cells. Thus, the unresponsiveness of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to RA after the induction of differentiation is initially due to the reduction in cellular RAR concentration rather than to the induction of PPARgamma. At later times cells continue along the differentiation pathway in a manner which is RA and RAR independent. 相似文献

Adipose tissue plays a crucial endocrine role in controlling whole body glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Given the substantial rise in obesity and obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, it is important to understand the molecular basis of adipocyte differentiation and its control. Many studies have successfully exploited gene array technology to monitor changes in the profile of expressed genes during adipocyte differentiation, although this method only measures changes at the level of individual mRNA species. Using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, high-throughput image analysis, and candidate picking coupled with sequencing mass spectrometry, we have followed the changes in protein expression profile that occur during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts into adipocytes in response to dexamethasone, isobutyl methyl xanthine and insulin, or to the PPARgamma agonist, ciglitazone. Using this technique we have found alterations in the profile of over 2000 protein species during adipogenesis. Our studies reveal previously unknown alterations during adipogenesis in the expression or mobility (on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) of coactosin, which promotes actin filament destabilization, several signalling molecules, including RhoGDI-1, RhoGDI-2 and EHD1, and NEDD5 a protein involved in cytokinesis. 相似文献
