Here, we show that Caveolin-2 (Cav-2) is an epigenetic regulator for adipogenesis. Upon adipogenic stimulation, inner nuclear membrane (INM)-targeted pY19-Cav-2 interacted with lamin A/C to disengage the repressed Cebpb promoter from lamin A/C, which facilitated the Cebpb promoter association with lamin B1. Consequently, pY19-Cav-2 recruited lysine demethylase 4b (KDM4b) for demethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) and histone acetyltransferase GCN5 for acetylation of H3K27, and subsequently RNA polymerase II (Pol II) on Cebpb promoter for epigenetic activation of Cebpb, to initiate adipogenesis. Cav-2 knock-down abrogated the Cebpb activation and blocked the Pparg2 and Cebpa activation. Re-expression of Cav-2 restored Cebpb activation and adipogenesis in Cav-2-deficient preadipocytes. Our data identify a new mechanism by which the epigenetic activation of Cebpb is controlled at the nuclear periphery to promote adipogenesis. |
