title: Inhibition of adipose conversion of BALB/c 3T3 cells by interferon and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.
abstract: The adipose conversion of BALB/c 3T3 preadipose cells is inhibited by interferon; this inhibition is directly correlation with the interferon concentration. In cultures treated with low doses of interferon and the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, another inhibitor of adipose conversion (Diamond et al., 1977), the two compounds act synergistically to block differentiation. Several lines of evidence suggest that the compounds differ in the mechanism by which they inhibit adipose conversion.
