Up-regulation of the claudin-6 gene in adipogenesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To investigate the role of claudin-6 in adipogenesis, claudin-6 mRNA was examined in adipose tissues and adipocyte differentiation. Claudin-6 mRNA was found to be differentially expressed in four different adipose tissues, and up-regulated in each fat depot of mice fed a high-fat diet as compared to a normal-fat diet. Levels of claudin-6 transcripts were increased during differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells in vitro. Moreover, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated reduction of claudin-6 mRNA inhibited differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. These results suggest that claudin-6 is another important regulator in adipogenesis and fat deposition.

Background & Aim: Changes in the expression of blood-spinal barrier proteins play an important role in the move and development of neuro-inflammatory responses. This study investigated the effect of four weeks of resistance training and date pollen extract on the expression of claudin-5 and connexin-43 proteins in male rats. Methods: 30 male Wistar rats randomly divided into 6 groups: Control;...
متن کاملRegulation of adipogenesis by cytoskeleton remodelling is facilitated by acetyltransferase MEC-17-dependent acetylation of α-tubulin.
Cytoskeleton remodelling is a prerequisite step for the morphological transition from preadipocytes to mature adipocytes. Although microtubules play a pivotal role in organizing cellular structure, regulation of microtubule dynamics during adipogenesis remains unclear. In the present paper we show that acetylation of α-tubulin is up-regulated during adipogenesis, and adipocyte development is de...
