Although hypoxia and transforming growth factor- (TGF-) inhibit differentiation of adipocytes from preadipocytes and bone marrow-derived cells in several species, the relationship between hypoxia and TGF- signaling in adipocytogenesis is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the mechanisms of inhibition of adipocyte differentiation by hypoxia and TGF- in human and murine marrow stromal cells (MSCs) and the role of TGF-/Smad signaling in the inhibition of adipocytogenesis by hypoxia. Both hypoxia-mimetic deferoxamine mesylate (DFO) and TGF-1 inhibited adipocyte differentiation (1.0% versus the control at 15 µM DFO and 1.4% versus the control at 1 ng/ml TGF-1) and adipocyte gene expression (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-2 and lipoprotein lipase) in human MSCs after 21 days of treatment. Hypoxia (2% O₂) and DFO (but not TGF-1) increased hypoxia-inducible factor-1 as shown by Western blotting. Macroarrays and Western and Northern blot analyses showed that hypoxia activated the TGF-/Smad signaling pathway and that both hypoxia and TGF-1 modulated adipocyte differentiation pathways such as the insulin-, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor--, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-, and MAPK-associated signaling pathways. Studies with mouse marrow stromal cell lines derived from Smad3^+/+ or Smad3^–/– mice revealed that the TGF- type I receptor (ALK-5) and its intracellular signaling molecule Smad3 were necessary for the inhibition of adipocyte differentiation by both TGF- and hypoxia-mimetic DFO. Thus, the TGF-/Smad signaling pathway is required for hypoxia-mediated inhibition of adipocyte differentiation in MSCs.
