Abstract
IL-6-deficient (IL-6(-/-)) mice develop obesity at 6-7 months of age. To elucidate the mechanisms of this mature-onset obesity, global gene expression profiles of 3-month-old preobese IL-6(-/-) were compared with those of IL-6(+/+) mice using DNA arrays. Genes that were up-regulated in IL-6(-/-) mice included the factors transthyretin and properdin in white adipose tissue and adipsin in muscle. These factors have been shown to influence the formation of acylation-stimulating protein (ASP), a cleavage product of complement C3. ASP stimulates the synthesis of triacylglycerol in adipocytes, and ASP-deficient mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity. In line with the increases in transthyretin, properdin, and adipsin, ASP levels in serum were increased by 31-54% in IL-6(-/-) compared with IL-6(+/+) mice. Furthermore, IL-6 replacement treatment in IL-6(-/-) mice decreased ASP levels significantly by 25-60%. In conclusion, ASP levels are increased in preobese IL-6(-/-) mice. This increase may result in increased triacylglycerol formation and uptake in IL-6(-/-) adipocytes and thereby contribute to the development of obesity in IL-6(-/-) mice.
