Abstract

Adipocytes produce the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6); however, it is not known whether these cells express the IL-6 receptor system, how the secretion of this cytokine is regulated, and whether it has a function within adipose tissue. Using cultured human breast adipocytes, we investigated the expression of IL-6 and its receptor system, the effects of IL-6 on main adipocyte functions, and the regulation of IL-6 secretion by catecholamines and glucocorticoids. In the culture system, immunohistochemistry demonstrated expression of IL-6 and its receptor system, consisting of the ligand-binding IL-6 receptor and the signal-transducing protein gp130, in mature adipocytes, but not in undifferentiated adipocyte precursor cells. In freshly isolated adipocytes, RT-PCR detected messenger ribonucleic acids encoding the above proteins. Chronic incubation of adipocytes with 1 nmol/L IL-6 during adipose differentiation reduced glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, a marker of adipocyte differentiation, and triglyceride synthesis to 67 +/- 9% of the basal level (mean +/- SEM; P < 0.05) only on day 21. Incubation of differentiated adipocytes with 10 nmol/L IL-6 for 24 h also resulted in a reduction of GPDH activity to...Continue Reading
