Knockdown of CDC20 promotes adipogenesis of bone marrow-derived stem cells by modulating β-catenin.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bone is a rigid organ that provides physical protection and support to vital organs of the body. Bone loss disorders are commonly associated with increased bone marrow adipose tissue. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotent progenitors that can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. Cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) is a co-activator of anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), and is required for ubiquitin ligase activity. Our previous study showed that CDC20 promoted the osteogenic commitment of BMSCs and Cdc20 conditional knockout mice suggested a decline in bone mass. In this study, we found that knockdown of CDC20 promoted adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs by modulating β-catenin, which suggested a link between ad
