LRP1, Adipogenesis, ObesityFigure 4. Silencing of LRP1 inhibits expression of adipocyte differentiation markers in a LRP1 dose-<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt manner. (A) mRNAexpression of LRP1, PPARc, HSL and aP2 in LRP1 siRNA1-silenced preadipocytes. RNA expression of LRP1, PPARc, HSL and aP2 was analysedin 3T3F442A preadipocytes transfected with Luc siRNA or LRP1 siRNA1. RNA was quantified by RT-PCR in 3T3F442A cells after 3 and 7 days in adipogenicdifferentiation medium. Mean 6 SD of 4 in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt experiments is shown. *P,0.025 when compared with Luc siRNA transfected cells. (B) Inhibitionof PPARc, HSL and aP2 mRNA expression in LRP1-silenced preadipocytes in a LRP1 dose-<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt manner. RNA levels of LRP1, PPARc,HSL and aP2 in 3T3F442A preadipocytes transfected with Luc siRNA or the 3 LRP1 siRNA1-3 were performed as <strong>de</strong>scribed in panel A.doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0007422.g004tiated adipocytes, and suggest that LRP1 may be an importanttherapeutic targ<strong>et</strong> in obesity.DiscussionHere, we show that LRP1 is highly expressed in 3T3F442Amurine preadipocyte cell line, as previously <strong>de</strong>scribed for 3T3L1preadipocytes and embryonic fibrob<strong>la</strong>sts [16,17]. Since LRP1 isexpressed at high levels in preadipocytes, it therefore can beinvolved in the early steps of adipocyte differentiation. In<strong>de</strong>ed, ourreport <strong>de</strong>monstrate that LRP1 silencing by siRNAs in 3T3F442Apreadipocytes significantly inhibits the expression of PPARc, HSLand aP2 adipocyte markers of differentiation and leads to lipid<strong>de</strong>pl<strong>et</strong>edcells, indicating that LRP1 is a key regu<strong>la</strong>tor of thePLoS ONE | www.plosone.org 5 October 2009 | Volume 4 | Issue 10 | e7422
