Abstract

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that plays a pivotal role in obesity and diabetes. PPARγ has two isoforms, PPARγ1 and PPARγ2. We investigated the functional differences between PPARγ1 and PPARγ2 by selectively disrupting PPARγ2 in mice. In contrast to the embryonic lethality of PPARγ-deficient mice, PPAR γ 2 - / - mice survived. Although normal development was identified in other tissues we examined, PPAR γ 2 - / - mice exhibited an overall reduction in white adipose tissue, less lipid accumulation, and decreased expression of adipogenic genes in adipose tissue. In addition, insulin sensitivity was impaired in male PPAR γ 2 - / - mice, with dramatically decreased expression of insulin receptor substrate 1 and glucose transporter 4 in the skeletal muscle, but thiazolidinediones were able to normalize this insulin resistance. Consistent with in vivo data, PPAR γ 2 - / - mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed a dramatically reduced capacity for adipogenesis in vitro compared with wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Taken together, our data demonstrate that PPAR γ 2 deficiency impairs the development of adipose tissue and insulin sensitivity. PPAR γ 2 - / - mice may provide a tool to study the role of PPARγ2 in obesity and diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
