It is, therefore, important to elucidate the mechanisms by which lipid droplets accumulate and are utilized. Sterol ester (SE)-laden RAW 264.7 macrophages accumulated lipid droplets in a time-dependent manner up to 16 h, which was enhanced by cotreatment with 0.1 microM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) activity by cotreatment with 0.3 microM calphostin C CAL for 16 h resulted in coalescence of small lipid droplets into large ones and increased accumulation of lipid droplets, although to a lesser extent than after PMA cotreatment. Immunostaining for adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) revealed a fluorescent rim at the surface of each medium to large lipid droplet. ADRP appearance correlated with lipid droplet accumulation and was regulated by PMA in a time-dependent manner. Induction of ADRP expression by PMA or CAL required SE, since ADRP levels in PMA- or CAL-treated non-SE-laden macrophages were comparable to those in untreated cells. Removal of SE from the incubation medium resulted in the concomitant dissolution of lipid droplets and down-regulation of ADRP. In conclusion, the above results suggest that ADRP may be an important protein in the regulation of lipid droplet metabolism in lipid-laden macrophages and that this regulation may be mediated by PKC activity. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=4322 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Chen, J.S., Greenberg, A.S., Tseng, Y.Z., and Wang, S.M. ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Possible involvement of protein kinase C in the induction of adipose differentiation-related protein by Sterol ester in RAW 264.7 macrophages. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2001 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
