Accumulating evidence indicates that Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) play important roles in fat biology via the regulation of CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs). However, KLFs and C/EBPs have not been identified fromStrongylocentrotus nudus, and their roles in this species are not clear. In this study, the full-length cDNA ofS. nudusKLF10 (SnKLF10) and three cDNA fragments ofS. nudusC/EBPs (SnC/EBPs) were obtained. Examination of tissue distribution and expression patterns during gonadal development implied that SnKLF10 and SnC/EBPs play important roles in gonadal lipogenesis. The presence of transcription factor-binding sites (TFBSs) for KLFs in SnC/EBPs, and the results of an over-expression assay, revealed that SnKLF10 negatively regulates the transcription of SnC/EBPs. In addition, the core promoter regions of SnC/EBPs were determined, and multiple TFBSs for transcription factor (TFs) were identified, which are potential regulators of SnC/EBP transcription. Taken together, these results suggest that SnC/EBP genes are potential targets of SnKLF10, and that SnKLF10 plays a role in lipogenesis by repressing the transcription of SnC/EBPs. These findings provide information for further studies of KLF10 in invertebrates and provide new insight into the regulatory mechanisms of C/EBP transcription.
