A schematic model of SENP3 function in glucocorticoid-induced PPARγ2 signaling. Exogenous glucocorticoid increases the cellular ROS level of BM-MSCs and the protein level of SENP3. SENP3 deSUMOylates SUMO2/3 modification of PPARγ2 on Lys residue 107 site and enhanced its activity to promote the expression of adipogenic marker genes such as C/EBPα, adiponectin and FABP4. Therefore, SENP3 potentiates adipogenesis in BM-MSCs and aggravate glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis under oxidative stress.
