We investigated the effect of activin A on differentiation of 13T3-L1 preadipocyte. Activin A suppressed the induction of terminal differentiation markers such as glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, lipid accumulation, and the expression of adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (O-2) mRNA when the cells were treated with activin A throughout the differentiation period. Activin A treatment during the early phase decreased GPDH activity and aP2 mRNA level, and also reduced the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) a mRNAs without affecting the expressions of the active isoforms of C/EBPP and its mRNA. On the other hand, activin A treatment had no effect on the mitotic clonal expansion. These results indicate that activin A inhibits adipogenesis via affecting the transcriptional factor cascade upstream of PPAR gamma expression. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
