摘要
Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) is a critical biological enzyme and that can catalyze L-met and ATP to form S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is acted as a biological methyl donor in transmethylation reactions involving histone methylation. However, the regulatory effect of methionine adenosyltransferase2A (MAT2A) and its associated methyltransferase activity on adipogenesis is still unclear. In this study, we investigate the effect of MAT2A on adipogenesis and its potential mechanism on histone methylation during porcine preadipocyte differentiation. We demonstrated that overexpression of MAT2A promoted lipid accumulation and significantly up-regulated the levels of adipogenic marker genes including PPARγ, SREBP-1c, and aP2. Whereas, knockdown of MAT2A or inhibition MATII enzyme activity inhibited lipid accumulation and down-regulated the expression of the above-mentioned genes. Mechanistic studies revealed that MAT2A interacted with histone-lysine N-methyltransferase Ezh2 and was recruited to Wnt10b promoter to repress its expression by promoting H3K27 methylation. Additionally, MAT2A interacted with MafK protein and was recruited to MARE element at Wnt10b gene. The catalytic activity of MAT2A as well as its interacting factor-MAT2B, was required for Wnt10b repression and supplying SAM for methyltransferases. Moreover, MAT2A suppressed Wnt10b expression and further inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling to promote adipogenesis.
