摘要：

In a systematic search for peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) target genes, we identified S3-12 and perilipin as novel direct PPAR-γ target genes. Together with adipophilin and tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa, these genes are lipid droplet–associating proteins with distinct expression pattern but overlapping expression in adipose tissue. The expression of S3-12 and perilipin is tightly correlated to the expression and activation of PPAR-γ in adipocytes, and promoter characterization revealed that the S3-12 and the perilipin promoters contain three and one evolutionarily conserved PPAR response elements, respectively. We furthermore demonstrate that the expression of S3-12 and perilipin is reduced in obese compared with lean Zucker rats, whereas the expression of adipophilin is increased. Others have shown that perilipin is an essential factor in the hormonal regulation of lipolysis of stored triglycerides within adipose tissue. The direct regulation of perilipin and S3-12 by PPAR-γ therefore is likely to be an important mediator of the in vivo effects of prolonged treatment with PPAR-γ activators: insulin sensitization, fatty acid trapping in adipose tissue, reduced basal adipose lipolysis, and weight gain.
