Abstract

Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) is a lipid droplet-associated protein that is expressed early during adipose differentiation. The present study was undertaken to reveal the role of ADRP in adipose differentiation. In murine fibroblasts infected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-ADRP fusion protein expression adenovirus vector, confocal microscopic analysis showed the number and size of lipid droplets apparently increased comparing with those of control cells. Overexpressed GFP-ADRP were mainly located at the surface of lipid droplets and appeared to be “ring-shaped.” Triacylglycerol content was also significantly ( P < 0.001) increased in GFP-ADRP-overexpressed cells compared with control cells. ADRP-induced lipid accumulation did not depend on adipocyte-specific gene induction, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, lipoprotein lipase, or other lipogenic genes, including acyl-CoA synthetase, fatty acid-binding protein, and fatty acid transporter. In conclusion, ADRP stimulated lipid accumulation and lipid droplet formation without induction of other adipocyte-specific genes or other lipogenic genes in murine fibroblasts. The detailed molecular mechanisms of ADRP on lipid accumulation remain to be elucidated.

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.
