Abstract

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation inhibits adipocyte differentiation. This study investigated the effect of compound C (CC), a widely used AMPK inhibitor, on differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. CC treatment blocked hormone-induced preadipocyte differentiation due to inhibition of mitotic clonal expansion, which was accompanied by the failure of degradation of p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. CC increased the level of p21 protein, but not its mRNA, in preadipocytes incubated in a hormone-free medium. Cycloheximide decreased the basal p21 level, which was inhibited by CC treatment, supporting the stabilization of p21 by CC. Treatment of AICAR or metformin, AMPK activators, failed to induce p21 or inhibit the ability of CC to increase p21 level. In conclusion, CC inhibits proliferation of preadipocytes as a consequence of an increase in p21 content, which might result from p21 stabilization, and the increase in p21 level by CC might not be associated with AMPK inhibition.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
