Studies have shown that C/EBP can stimulate adipogenesis in non-committed fibroblasts by activating expression of PPAR . Other investigations have established a role for C/EBP as well as PPAR in orchestrating the complex program of adipogenic gene expression during terminal preadipocyte differentiation. Consequently, it is important to identify factors regulating transcription of the C/EBP gene. In this report, we demonstrate that inhibition of PPAR activity by exposure of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to a potent and selective PPAR antagonist inhibits adipogenesis, but also blocks the activation of C/EBP expression at the onset of differentiation. Ectopic expression of C/EBP in Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts (Swiss-LAP cells) induces PPAR expression without any significant enhancement of C/EBP expression. Treatment of Swiss-LAP cells with a PPAR agonist induces adipogenesis, which includes activation of C/EBP expression. To further establish a role for PPAR in regulating C/EBP expression, we expressed C/EBP in PPAR -deficient mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). The data show that C/EBP is capable of inducing PPAR in PPAR +/- MEFs, which leads to activation of adipogenesis including C/EBP expression following exposure to a PPAR ligand. In contrast, C/EBP is not able to induce C/EBP expression or adipogenesis in PPAR -/- MEFs. ChIP analysis reveals that C/EBP is bound to the minimal promoter of the C/EBP gene in association with HDAC1 in unstimulated Swiss-LAP cells. Exposure of the cells to a PPAR ligand dislodges HDAC1 from the C/EBP gene promoter, which involves degradation of HDAC1 in the 26S proteasome. These data suggest that C/EBP activates a single unified pathway of adipogenesis involving its stimulation of PPAR expression, which then activates C/EBP expression by dislodging HDAC1 from the promoter for degradation in the proteasome.
