Figure 4.4 LPS induction of cytokine gene expression decreases as the degree of adipocyte differentiation<br />

increases. Three human (pre)adipocyte cell models containing ~0 (AD0), ~50% (AD50) or ~90% (AD 90)<br />

adipocytes were established <strong>by</strong> modulating exposure to differentiation medium (DM1; see Methods for details).<br />

A: On day 14, each culture was stained with Oil-red-O to show neutral lipid accumulation, B: On day 14,<br />

cultures of human (pre)adipocyts were incubated in the absence (�) or presence(�) with LPS for 3 h and total<br />

RNA were harvested for the analyses of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 mRNA expression using qPCR in each cell model.<br />

Means (+ SEM, n=4) not sharing a common superscript differ significantly (p
