SPATA4 improves aging‐induced metabolic dysfunction through promotion of preadipocyte differentiation and adipose tissue expansion

Abstract: Spermatogenesis‐associated protein 4 (SPATA4) is conserved across multiple species. However, the function of this gene remains largely unknown. In this study, we generated Spata4 transgenic mice to explore tissue‐specific function of SPATA4. Spata4 overexpression mice displayed increased subcutaneous fat tissue compared with wild‐type littermates at an old age, while this difference was not observed in younger mice. Aging‐induced ectopic fat distribution, inflammation, and insulin resistance were also signific… Show more

“…Although chronic systemic low-grade inflammation may induce metabolic dysfunction, acute localized inflammation can be an adaptive response with positive effects in hypodermal AT remodeling and expansion, thus triggering a response to counteract age-related pro-inflammatory changes [ 118 , 119 ]. Evidence shows that under adverse circumstances, conserved proteins such as spermatogenesis-associated protein 4 (SPATA4) show tissue-specific functions in promoting preadipocyte differentiation through activation of the extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) 1/2 and CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins β (C/EBPβ) pathways and facilitating adipokine expression in aged mice [ 120 ].…”

“…The amounts and functions of sWAT deteriorate with advanced age, related to the reduced proliferation and differentiation capacities of preadipocytes (Li et al ., 2021). A decline in adipogenesis in sWAT in obese humans has also been associated with senescent preadipocytes (Gustafson et al ., 2019).…”
