Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACTTranscriptional and epigenetic regulation is fundamentally involved in initiating and maintaining progression of cellular differentiation. The 2 types of thermogenic adipocytes, brown and beige, are thought to be of different origins but share functionally similar phenotypes. Here, we report that lysine‐specific demethylase 2 (LSD2) regulates the expression of genes associated with lineage identity during the differentiation of brown and beige adipogenic progenitors in mice. In HB2 mouse brown preadipocytes, short hairpin RNA‐mediated knockdown (KD) of LSD2 impaired formation of lipid droplet‐containing adipocytes and down‐regulated brown adipogenesis‐associated genes. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that myogenesis‐associated genes were up‐regulated in LSD2‐KD cells under adipogenic induction. In addition, loss of LSD2 during later phases of differentiation had no obvious influence on adipogenic traits, suggesting that LSD2 functions during earlier phases of brown adipocyte differentiation. Using adipogenic cells from the brown adipose tissues of LSD2‐knockout (KO) mice, we found reduced expression of brown adipogenesis genes, whereas myogenesis genes were not affected. In contrast, when LSD2‐KO cells from inguinal white adipose tissues were subjected to beige induction, these cells showed a dramatic rise in myogenic gene expression. Collectively, these results suggest that LSD2 regulates distinct sets of genes during brown and beige adipocyte formation.—Takase, R., Hino, S., Nagaoka, K., Anan, K., Kohrogi, K., Araki, H., Hino, Y., Sakamoto, A., Nicholson, T.
