Abstract (original English)
STAT5 is a transcription factor that is activated by various cytokines, hormones, and growth factors. Activated STAT5 is then translocated to the nucleus and regulates the transcription of target genes, affecting several biological processes. Several studies have investigated the role of STAT5 in adipogenesis, but unfortunately, its role in adipogenesis remains controversial. In the present study, we generated adipocyte-specific Stat5 conditional knockout (cKO) (Stat5 fl/fl ;Apn-cre) mice to investigate the role of STAT5 in the adipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). BMSC adipogenesis was significantly inhibited upon overexpression of constitutively active STAT5A, while it was enhanced in the absence of Stat5 in vitro. In vivo adipose staining and histological analyses revealed increased adipose volume in the bone marrow of Stat5 cKO mice. ATF3 is the target of STAT5 during STAT5-mediated inhibition of adipogenesis, and its transcription is regulated by the binding of STAT5 to the Atf3 promoter. ATF3 overexpression was sufficient to suppress the enhanced adipogenesis of Stat5-deficient adipocytes, and Atf3 silencing abolished the STAT5-mediated inhibition of adipogenesis. Stat5 cKO mice exhibited reduced bone volume due to an increase in the osteoclast number, and coculture of bone marrow-derived macrophages with Stat5 cKO adipocytes resulted in enhanced ost
