PG - 249-53 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been reported to inhibit adipocyte differentiation in which multiple transcription factors including CCAAT enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma play an important role. Induction of C/EBPalpha and PPARgamma, which regulate the expression of many adipocyte-related genes, is dependent on the expression of C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta at the early phase of adipocyte differentiation. To elucidate the mechanism by which TNF-alpha inhibits adipocyte differentiation, we examined the effect of TNF-alpha on the expression of these transcription factors in mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. TNF-alpha did not abrogate the induction of C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta in response to differentiation stimuli. In fully differentiated adipocytes, TNF-alpha rapidly induced C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta, whereas it downregulated the expression of C/EBPalpha and PPARgamma. Our results suggest that TNF-alpha inhibits adipocyte differentiation independently of the downregulation of C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta.
