The induction of acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) and ACBP mRNA was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells during growth and insulin-induced differentiation. The level of ACBP relative to both total soluble protein and DNA increased during insulin-stimulated conversion of 3T3-L1 cells from preadipocytes into fully developed adipocytes. So did the total rate of lipogenesis, as measured by incorporation of [1-14C]acetate. A similar increase in ACBP mRNA relative to total RNA was observed. These results therefore suggest that ACBP plays a specific role in the lipogenic process. However, this role might be indirect, as the increase in lipogenesis preceded the increase in ACBP. The significance of this finding is discussed.
在3T3-L1细胞生长和胰岛素诱导分化过程中,研究了酰基辅酶A结合蛋白(ACBP)及其mRNA的诱导情况。在胰岛素刺激下,3T3-L1细胞从前脂肪细胞转变为完全成熟的脂肪细胞的过程中,ACBP相对于总可溶性蛋白和DNA的水平均有所增加。通过[1-14C]乙酸掺入法测定的脂肪生成总速率也出现了类似增加。相对于总RNA,ACBP mRNA也有类似的增加。因此,这些结果表明ACBP在脂肪生成过程中发挥着特定作用。然而,由于脂肪生成的增加先于ACBP的增加,这个作用可能是间接的。本文讨论了这一发现的意义。
