Abstract

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 we demonstrate that p53 and its target genes are highly induced in adipocytes of ob/ob mice in a fed state, leading to the negative regulation of SREBP-1 and thereby lipogenic genes. In fact, disruption of p53 in ob/ob mice completely suppressed the p53-regulated genes to wild-type levels and partially restored expression of lipogenic enzymes. Consistently, reporter gene analysis showed that p53 overexpression suppressed the promoter activity of the SREBP-1c gene and its downstream genes. Thus, the activation of p53 might constitute a negative feedback loop against excess fat accumulation in adipocytes. In conclusion, we discovered a novel role of p53 in the pathophysiology of obesity.

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.
