Figure 2. 5. Trans-10, cis-12 CLA differentially affects gene and protein expression of lipid droplet-associated<br />

proteins. Cultures of SV cells containing newly differentiated adipocytes were treated for 3 days with either<br />

BSA (B) or 30 µM trans-10, cis-12 CLA (10) or cis-9, trans-11 CLA (9). Cells were harvested on day 3 based<br />

on the data in Fig 2.3, indicating that between days 2 and 4, adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP)<br />

protein increased, and perilipin and hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) proteins decreased. A: Total cell extracts<br />

were immunoblotted for adipose differentiated-related protein (ADRP), perilipin, and HSL. Actin was used as<br />

a loading control for the Western blots. Results shown are representative of three separate experiments using<br />

cells isolated from different human subjects each time. ERK phosphorylation was measured using a phosphospecific<br />

antibody for ERK. B: Total RNA was harvested using Tri-reagent and mRNA expression levels of<br />

ADRP, perilipin, and HSL were analyzed using real time quantitative (q) PCR. TATA binding protein (TBP)<br />

was used as a control for real time qPCR. Means (+ SEM, n=3 for ADRP, n=2 for perilipin and HSL) not<br />

sharing a common superscript differ significantly (p
