Human ADMC-Derived Adipocyte Thermogenic Capacity Is Regulated by IL-4 Receptor

Figure 4

IL-4 treatment increases expression of mitochondrial proteins. Precursors (SVF) were obtained and differentiated as described in Materials and Methods. Cells were treated with BSA alone (vehicle) or IL-4 and incubated at 31°C for 6 h, then lysed. (a) IL-4R, UCP-1, and TFAM protein expression were measured by Western blotting. (b) Relative band intensity of each was determined by densitometry. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA. Data represent mean ± SD and were normalized to expression of the reference protein GAPDH. between precursors (SVF) and mature adipocytes (MA). # between mature adipocytes (MA) treated with IL-4 or vehicle.
