摘　　要：The morphological transformation of adipogenic progenitors into mature adipocytes requires dissolution of actin cytoskeleton with loss of myocardin-related transcription factor(MRTF)/serum response factor(SRF)activity.Circadian clock confers temporal control in adipogenic differentiation,while the actin cytoskeleton–MRTF/SRF signaling transduces extracellular physical niche cues.Here,we define a novel circadian transcriptional control involved in actin cytoskeleton–MRTF/SRF signaling cascade that modulates beige fat thermogenic function.Key components of actin dynamic–MRTF/SRF pathway display circadian regulation in beige fat depot.The core clock regulator,brain and muscle arnt-like 1(Bmal1),exerts direct transcriptional control of genes within the actin dynamic–MRTF/SRF cascade that impacts actin cytoskeleton organization and SRF activity.Employing beige fat-selective gene-targeting models together with pharmacological rescues,we further demonstrate that Bmal1 inhibits beige adipogenesis and thermogenic capacity in vivo via the MRTF/SRF pathway.Selective ablation of Bmal1 induces beigeing with improved glucose homeostasis,whereas its targeted overexpression attenuates thermogenic induction resulting in obesity.Collectively,our findings identify the clock–MRTF/SRF regulatory axis as an inhibitory mechanism of beige fat thermogenic recruitment with significant contribution to systemic metabolic homeostasis.
