Figure 3. 6. Trans-10, cis-12 CLA-induction of IL-6 and TNF-α gene expression is blocked <strong>by</strong> NFκB inhibitors.<br />

Differentiated cultures of human adipocytes were serum starved for 20 h and then pretreated for 1 h with either<br />

with the MEK/ERK inhibitor U0126 (10 µM), the GCPR-Gi/o inhibitor Pertussis toxin (PTX; 100 ng/ml), the<br />

NFκB inhibitors proteasome inhibitor I (PSI; 50 µM), Bay11-7082 (Bay11; 2.5 uM), or kamebakaurin (KA; 26<br />

uM), and subsequently treated with BSA vehicle or 30 µM trans-10, cis-12 CLA (CLA) for additional 3 h.<br />

Total RNA was harvested and semi-quantitative RT-PCR analyses were performed to examine the expression<br />

of TNF-α, IL-6, and aP2. Data shown are representative of three independent experiments from different<br />

human subjects.<br />
