Early B-Cell Factor (O/E-1) Is a Promoter of Adipogenesis and Involved in Control of Genes Important for Terminal Adipocyte Differentiation
21 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Olf-1/early B-cell factor (O/E-1) is a transcription factor important for B-lymphocyte and neuronal gene regulation. Here we report that all three known O/E genes (O/E-1, -2, and -3) are expressed in mouse adipose tissue and are upregulated during adipocyte differentiation. Forced expression of O/E-1 in either the preadipocyte cell line 3T3-L1 or mouse embryonic fibroblasts augmented adipogenesis, and...
