Which key adipogenic transcription factors are down-regulated by Cucurbitacin E (CuE)?
Label:chem
Topic
Adipocyte differentiation is controlled by sequential activation of PPARγ and C/EBPα, master regulators of lipogenesis.
Answer
Western blotting and RT-PCR revealed that CuE markedly reduces mRNA and protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα, thereby inhibiting terminal adipocyte differentiation.
