STAT5A Promotes Adipogenesis in Nonprecursor Cells and Associates With the Glucocorticoid Receptor During Adipocyte Differentiation
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of adipocytes is regulated by the activity of a variety of transcription factors, including peroxidase proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma and C/EBPalpha. Our current study demonstrates that ectopic expression of STAT5A, such as that of PPAR-gamma and C/EBPalpha, promotes adipogenesis in two nonprecursor fibroblast cell lines. Using morphologic and biochemical criteria, we have...
