title: Triiodothyronine control of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme during differentiation of a murine preadipocyte cell line.
abstract: In the Ob 17 preadipocyte cell line, during adipose differentiation, T3 amplified the progressive expression of two enzymes of the lipogenic pathway, ATP-citrate lyase (ATP-CL) and malic enzyme (ME) as previously described for fatty acid synthase (FAS) and fatty acid synthesis, and in the same time-period of development. However, the stimulation by T3 was sustained at late stages of differentiation whereas it declined in FAS studies. The stimulation was preceded by an increase in the relative abundance of the specific mRNAs. Two ME mRNA species were detected (21S and 27S) and found to be differently distributed. Their abundance was asynchronously increased by T3 with a predominant effect on the 21S species. Culture of the cells in a thyroid-hormone depleted medium prevented any significant increase of ME activity. Early inclusion of T3 largely restored ME development whereas late elimination of T3 only moderately impaired it. It is suggested that T3 plays a crucial role at an early step of adipose differentiation, this leading to an increased expression of a set of late adipose phenotypes such as several lipogenic enzymes.
