β-Arrestin-1 Protein Represses Adipogenesis and Inflammatory Responses through Its Interaction with Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor-γ (PPARγ)
Open accessAbstract
One of the master regulators of adipogenesis and macrophage function is peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). Here, we report that a deficiency of β-arrestin-1 expression affects PPARγ-mediated expression of lipid metabolic genes and inflammatory genes. Further mechanistic studies revealed that β-arrestin-1 interacts with PPARγ. β-Arrestin-1 suppressed the formation of a complex between PPARγ and 9-cis-retinoic acid receptor-α through its direct interaction with PPARγ. The interaction of β-arrestin-1 with PPARγ repressed PPARγ/9-cis-retinoic acid receptor-α function but promoted PPARγ/nuclear receptor corepressor function in PPARγ-mediated adipogenesis and inflammatory gene expression. Consistent with these results, a deficiency of β-arrestin-1 binding to PPARγ abolished its suppression of PPARγ-dependent adipogenesis and inflammatory responses. These results indicate that the regulation of PPARγ by β-arrestin-1 is critical. Furthermore, in vivo expression of β-arrestin-1 (but not the binding-deficient mutant) significantly repressed adipogenesis, macrophage infiltration, and diet-induced obesity and improved glucose tolerance and systemic insulin sensitivity. Therefore, our findings not only reveal a molecular mechanism for the modulation of obesity by β-arrestin-1 but also suggest a potential tactical approach against obesity and its associated metabolic disorders.

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.
