Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of S100A16 in the course of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiation.MethodsA recombinant virus vector overexpressing S100A16 ( PLJM1-S100A16-GFP) was constructed and transfected into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.The expression of S100A16 in the course of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiated into adipocytes was detected by Western blot.The lipid droplets were observed by oil-red O staining and triglycercide (TG) content was measured by the TG measure kit.Levels of adipogenesis-associated genes such as PPARγ,CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ( C/EBP-α),lipoprotein lipase ( LPL),fatty acid synthase ( FAS),adipocyte fatty acid binding protein( aP2 ) were measured by realtime PCR and Western blot.The interaction between S100A16 and p53 was detected by immunoprecipitation.Results3T3-L1 cell line overexpressing S100A16was successfully contructed.It was found that the expression of S100A16 was increased during 3T3-L1 adipocytes differentiation.Overexpression of S100A16 stimulated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiation and increased the accumulation of triglycerides in adipocytes (P< 0.01 ),along with the up-regulation of adipocyte differentiationassociated gene expressions including PPARγ,C/EBP-α,LPL,aP2,and FAS ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).Immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that S100A16 interacted with tumor suppressor protein p53,also a known inhibitor of adipogenesis.ConclusionS100A16 stimulates 3T3-LI preadipocytes differentiation via inhibiting p53activity.
