title: Ca2+ redistribution from bound to free form is required for tumor necrosis factor actions in 30A5 preadipocytes.
abstract: Tumor necrosis factor/cachectin (TNF) inhibits differentiation of 30A5 preadipocytes into adipocytes. In this process, TNF inhibits the expression of the gene for acetyl-coenzyme-A carboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme for biogenesis of long chain fatty acids. One of the early reactions caused by TNF is the Ca2+ redistribution of Ca2+ from the bound form to the free form. This Ca2+ redistribution results in a transient Ca2+ efflux. High concentrations of Mg2+ inhibit Ca2+ redistribution and efflux. This inhibition reverses the repression of acetyl-coenzyme-A carboxylase and reverses the TNF inhibition of the differentiation of 30A5 preadipocytes into adipocytes. This indicates that Ca2+ redistribution between the bound and the free form is an obligatory event in the sequence of actions caused by TNF in 30A5 cells.
