Figure 3. 10. Working model: Trans-10, cis-12 CLA reduces glucose and fatty acid uptake and TG synthesis via<br />
activation of NFκB and ERK1/2 signaling and cytokine production. Upon entry into SV cells, trans-10,<br />
cis-12 CLA generates an unidentified signal, there<strong>by</strong> activating NFκB and ERK1/2. NFκB p65/p50 then<br />
translocates to the nucleus where it is activated <strong>by</strong> P-ERK. Activated NFκB initiates the transcription of<br />
specific cytokines (i.e., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8). These secreted cytokines, in turn, activate their cognate cell surface<br />
receptors on adipocytes, leading to NFκB and ERK1/2 activation. NFκB p65/p50 translocates into the nucleus<br />
where P-ERK activates NFκB p65 and other transcription factors (TF), leading to suppression of PPARγ<br />
activity and target gene expression including aP2, sterol-CoA desaturase (SCD), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), fatty<br />
acid synthase (FAS), glucose transporter 4 (Glut4) and perilipin (PLIN). CLA may also generate an<br />
unidentified signal in adipocytes that activates NFκB and ERK1/2, which further suppresses PPARγ target<br />
gene expression. Together, this leads to adipocyte delipidation via decreased glucose and fatty acid uptake and<br />
TG synthesis.<br />
