Hormone induction of growth-arrested preadipocytes triggers mitotic clonal expansion followed by expression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP)alpha and differentiation into adipocytes. The order of these events is critical because C/EBP alpha is antimitotic and its expression prematurely would block the mitotic: clonal expansion required for differentiation. C/EBP beta, a transcriptional activator of the C/EBP alpha gene, is expressed early in the differentiation program. but lacks DNA-binding activity and fails to localize to centromeres until preadipocytes traverse the G(1)-S checkpoint of mitotic clonal expansion. Evidence is presented that dominant-negative CHOP-10 expressed by growth-arrested preadipocytes transiently sequesters C/EBP beta by heterodimerization. As preadipocytes reach S phase, CHOP-10 is down-regulated, apparently releasing C/EBP beta from inhibitory constraint and allowing transactivation of the C/EBP alpha gene. In support of these findings, up-regulation of CHOP-10 with the protease inhibitor N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleucinal prevents activation of C/EBP beta. expression of C/EBP alpha, and adipogenesis.
