- Abstract
Obesity and its associated metabolic disease do serious harm to human health. The transcriptional cascade network with transcription factors as the core is the focus of current research on adipogenesis and its mechanism. Previous studies have found that HMG domain protein 20A (HMG20A) is highly expressed in the early stage of adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular fat (IMF), which may be involved in regulating adipogenesis. In this study, HMG20A was found to play a key negative regulatory role in adipogenesis. Gain- and loss-of-function studies revealed that HMG20A inhibited the differentiation of SVF cells and C3H10T1/2 cells into mature adipocytes. RNA-seq was used to screen differentially expressed genes after HMG20A knockdown. qRT-PCR and ChIP-PCR confirmed that MEF2C was the real target of HMG20A, and HMG20A played a negative regulatory role through MEF2C. HMG20A binding protein LSD1 was found to alleviate the inhibitory effect of HMG20A on adipogenesis. Further studies showed that HMG20A could cooperate with LSD1 to increase the H3K4me2 of the MEF2C promoter and then increase the expression of MEF2C. Collectively, these findings highlight a role for HMG20A-dependent transcriptional and epigenetic regulation in adipogenesis.
