Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the importance of lamin A/C for fat cell differentiation in vitro and for the anti-adipogenic activity of HIV protease inhibitors such as indinavir. METHODS: Lipodystrophy-associated and processing-defective mutants of lamin A were stably expressed at high levels in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Additionally, 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes with stable reduction of lamin A/C or emerin were derived. The...
