Abstract (original English)
Dysregulation of adipose tissue (AT) homeostasis in obesity contributes to metabolic stress and disorders. Here, we identified that Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 10 (Chchd10) is a novel regulator of AT remodeling upon excess energy intake. Chchd10 is significantly reduced in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of mice in response to high-fat diet (HFD) feeding. AT-Chchd10 deficiency accelerates adipogenesis predominantly in subcutaneous AT of mice to store excess energy in response to short-term HFD feeding while upregulates glutathione S-transferase A4 (GSTA4) to facilitate 4-HNE clearance mainly in visceral AT to prevent protein carbonylation-induced cell dysfunction after long-term HFD feeding. Hence, Chchd10 deficiency attenuates diet-induced obesity and related metabolic disorders in mice. Mechanistically, Chchd10 deficiency enhances adipogenesis and GSTA4 expression by activating TDP43/Raptor/p62/Keap1/NRF2 axis. Notably, the beneficial effect of Chchd10 deficiency is eliminated in hypertrophic adipocytes, where p62 is strikingly reduced. Collectively, Chchd10 is a metabolic sensor maintaining AT homeostasis, and the loss of p62 in adipose tissue under obese conditions impairs Chchd10-mediated AT remodeling.
