SREBP-1-independent regulation of lipogenic gene expression in adipocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c is now well established as a key transcription factor for the regulation of lipogenic enzyme genes such as FAS in hepatocytes. Meanwhile, the mechanisms of lipogenic gene regulation in adipocytes remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that those in adipocytes are independent of SREBP-1c. In adipocytes, unlike in hepatocytes, the stimulation of SREBP-1c expression by liver X receptor agonist does not accompany lipogenic gene upregulation, although nuclear SREBP-1c protein is concomitantly increased, indicating that the activation process of SREBP-1c by the cleavage system is intact in adipocytes. Supportively, transcriptional activity of the mature form of SREBP-1c for the FAS promoter was negligible when measured by reporter analysis. As an underlying mechanism, accessibility of SREBP-1c to the functional elements was involved, because chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that SREBP-1c does not bind to the functional SRE/E-box site on the FAS promoter in adipocytes. Moreover, genetic disruption of SREBP-1 did not cause any changes in lipogenic gene expression in adipose tissue. In summary, in adipocytes, unlike in hepatocytes, increments in nuclear SREBP-1c are not accompanied by transactivation of lipogenic genes; thus, SREBP-1c is not committed to the regulation of lipogenesis.

PPARalpha regulation of Elovl3 gene expression (Jakobsson et al.) 2 SUMMARY The expression of the Elovl3 gene, which belongs to the Elovl gene family coding for microsomal enzymes involved in very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) elongation, is dramatically increased in mouse brown adipose tissue upon cold stimulation. In the present study we show that the cold induced Elovl3 expression is under t...

متن کاملp53 Activation in adipocytes of obese mice.
The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that activates or represses its target genes after various genotoxic stresses. We have previously shown that sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), a key transcriptional regulator of triglyceride synthesis, and the lipogenic enzymes under its control are markedly suppressed in adipocytes from genetically obese ob/ob mice. Here w...

Lipogenesis is under the concerted action of ChREBP, SREBP-1c and other transcription factors in response to glucose and insulin. The isolated porcine preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes to investigate the roles and interrelation of these transcription factors in the context of glucose- and insulin-induced lipogenesis in pigs. In ChREBP-silenced adipocytes, glucose-induced ...
متن کاملADD-1/SREBP-1 is a major determinant of tissue differential lipogenic capacity in mammalian and avian species.
Fatty acid synthase (FAS), a key lipogenic enzyme, is expressed in the two major sites of fatty acid production in the body, that is, the liver and the adipose tissue. Surprisingly, the relative contribution of these sites to lipogenesis is highly variable among species. For example, besides the situation in rodents, where liver and fat are equally active, lipogenesis in some mammals such as th...
