Abstract

This study is to investigate the effects of testosterone on adipogenesis and its molecular mechanism using RT-PCR analysis and transient transfection assays. Castrated(CAST) mice treated with testosterone had lower white adipose tissue weights and expression of adipocyte-specific genes($PPAR{\gamma}$ and aP2) than CAST control mice. Consistent with the in vivo data, testosterone treatment inhibited triglyceride accumulation and expression of adipocyte-specific genes($PPAR{\gamma}$ and aP2) in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells compared with control group. Testosterone-activated androgen receptor(AR) repressed the luciferase reporter gene activity induced by $PPAR{\gamma}$ transfection. Thus, these results suggest that testosterone downregulates the actions of $PPAR{\gamma}$ on adipogenesis through AR.

본 연구는 testosterone이 지방세포생성에 미치는 영향과 그것에 대한 분자생물학적 조절기전을 역전사-중합효소 연쇄반응과 일시적인 형질전환 분석을 통해 조사하였다. 정소절제수술 마우스(CAST)에 비해 testosterone이 처리된 정소절제수술 마우스(CAST+T)는 백색지방조직 무게와 지방세포 특이유전자($PPAR{\gamma}$와 aP2)의 발현이 감소되었다. In vivo 결과와 일치되게, testosterone 처리는 분화된 3T3-L1세포에서의 triglyceride축적과 지방세포 특이유전자($PPAR{\gamma}$와 aP2)의 발현을 억제시켰다. Testosterone에 의해 활성화된 androgen receptor(AR)는 $PPAR{\gamma}$ transfection에 의해 유도된 luciferase reporter gene 활성을 억제하였다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 testosterone이 AR을 통해 지방세포분화에 대한 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 작용을 억제 조절한다는 것을 시사하고 있다.
