Abstract

The effect of wortmannin, which inhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), on adipocytic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells was examined. The extent of differentiation was evaluated by the staining of adipocytes with Oil Red O and measurement of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity. Wortmannin, at over 100 nM, significantly inhibited adipogenesis of cells treated with isobutyl-methylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin with an IC50 value about 50 nM. These results suggest that PI 3-kinase plays a role in adipocytic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells.
