Adipose tissue dysregulation has a major role in various human diseases. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and function, as well as a target of insulin-sensitizing drugs. The Hsp90 chaperone stabilizes a diverse set of signaling 'client' proteins, thereby regulates various biological processes. Here we report a novel role for Hsp90 in controlling PPARγ stability and cellular differentiation. Specifically, we show that the Hsp90 inhibitors geldanamycin and novobiocin efficiently impede the differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Geldanamycin at higher concentrations also inhibits the survival of both developing and mature adipocytes, respectively. Further, Hsp90 inhibition disrupts an Hsp90-PPARγ complex, leads to the destabilization and proteasomal degradation of PPARγ, and inhibits the expression of PPARγ target genes, identifying PPARγ as an Hsp90 client. A similar destabilization of PPARγ and a halt of adipogenesis also occur in response to protein denaturing stresses caused by a single transient heat-shock or proteasome inhibition. Recovery from stress restores PPARγ stability and adipocyte differentiation. Thus, our findings reveal Hsp90 as a critical stress-responsive regulator of adipocyte biology and offer a potential therapeutic target in obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
