  • Title: Induction of lipogenesis during differentiation in a "preadipocyte" cell line.
    Author: Mackall JC, Student AK, Polakis SE, Lane MD.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1976 Oct 25; 251(20):6462-4. PubMed ID: 10298.
    Abstract:
    3T3-L1 fibroblasts differentiate in culture into cells having adipocyte character. This transition is accompanied by a 40- to 50-fold rise in the incorporation of [14C]acetate into triglyceride. The increase in lipogenic rate is exactly parallel to a coordinate rise in the activities of the key enzymes of the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway (ATP-citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthetase). Immunological studies indicate that the elevated acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity is the product of an increased cellular enzyme level.
