ABSTRACT
Adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) has been shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic diseases. However, the upstream factors that integrate the environmental signals to control ATM activation and adipose inflammation in obesity remain elusive. Here, we identify BAF60a, a subunit of the switch/sucrose-nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes, as the central checkpoint regulator of obesity-induced ATM activation, adipose tissue inflammation, and systemic metabolic impairment. BAF60a expression was robustly downregulated in the adipose tissue stromal vascular fractions in type 2 diabetic mice. Myeloid-specific BAF60a knockout (BaMKO) promotes ATM proinflammatory activation, exacerbating diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction. Conversely, myeloid-specific overexpression of BAF60a in mice attenuates macrophage proinflammatory activation. Mechanistically, transcriptome and chromatin landscape analyses demonstrate that BAF60a inactivation triggers the expression of proinflammatory gene program through chromatin remodeling. Moreover, motif analysis of ATAC-Seq and CUT&Tag-Seq data identifies the transcription factor Atf3 that physically interacts with BAF60a to suppress the proinflammatory gene expression, thereby controlling ATM activation and metabolic inflammation in obesity. Consistently, myeloid-specific Atf3 deficiency also promotes the proinflammatory activation of macrophage. This work uncovers BAF60a/Atf3 axis as the key regulator in obesity-associated ATM activation, adipose tissue inflammation, and metabolic diseases.
