Transcription Suppression of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ2 Gene Expression by Tumor Necrosis Factor α via an Inhibition of CCAAT/ Enhancer-binding Protein δ during the Early Stage of Adipocyte Differentiation

Abstract excerpt

TNFalpha is known to inhibit adipocyte differentiation and induce insulin resistance. Moreover, TNFalpha is known to down-regulate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma2, an adipocyte-specific nuclear receptor of insulin-sensitizer thiazolidinediones. To clarify molecular mechanisms of TNFalpha- mediated PPARgamma2 down-regulation, we here examined the effect of TNFalpha on transcription...
