Abstract
DNA N6-adenine methylation (6mA), as a novel adenine modification existing in eukaryotes, shows essential functions in embryogenesis and mitochondrial transcriptions. ALKBH1 is a demethylase of 6mA and plays critical roles in osteogenesis, tumorigenesis, and adaptation to stress. However, the integrated biological functions of ALKBH1 still require further exploration. Here, we demonstrate that knockdown of ALKBH1 inhibits adipogenic differentiation in both human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, while overexpression of ALKBH1 leads to increased adipogenesis. Using a combination of RNA-seq and N6-mA-DNA-IP-seq analyses, we identify hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling as a crucial downstream target of ALKBH1 activity. Depletion of ALKBH1 leads to hypermethylation of both HIF-1α and its downstream target GYS1. Simultaneous overexpression of HIF-1α and GYS1 restores the adipogenic commitment of ALKBH1-deficient cells. Taken together, our data indicate that ALKBH1 is indispensable for adipogenic differentiation, revealing a novel epigenetic mechanism that regulates adipogenesis.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of self-renewal and pluripotent differentiation, which eventually develop into specific types of somatic cells. The appropriate balance on cell fate decisions requires precise regulation of transcriptional and epigenetic networks (1Ambrosi T.H. Scialdone A. Graja A. Gohlke S. Jank A.M. Bocian C. Woelk L.

Under the pathological conditions, an increasing number of cells undergo a shift from osteogenesis to adipogenesis (3Wu Y. Xie L. Wang M. Xiong Q. Guo Y. Liang Y. Li J. Sheng R. Deng P. Wang Y.

Although plenty of literatures are trying to determine these phenotypes in various mechanisms, the connection between DNA methylations and pluripotency MSCs remains unclear. Epigenetic regulations mainly refer to DNA methylation, histone modifications, noncoding RNAs, transcription factor binding, and chromatin remodeling (10Skvortsova K. Iovino N. Bogdanovic O.
