RESUMO

Nonterminally differentiated 3T3 T adipocytes are resistant to growth stimulation by 10% (vol/vol) fetal bovine serum even though they can be induced to proliferate with extremely high serum concentrations. We now report that in adipocytes 10% fetal bovine serum also fails to typically induce c-jun or junB. Rather, after 10% fetal bovine serum treatment, c-jun and junB expression is markedly repressed after a brief initial slight induction. Gel mobility shift studies confirm that AP-1 DNA binding activity is inhibited in adipocytes. Repression in c-jun and junB inducibility in adipocytes results from transcriptional mechanisms, can be reversed by treatment with protein synthesis inhibitors or higher serum concentrations, and does not affect c-fos or c-myc expression. These data suggest that adipocyte differentiation selectively and transcriptionally represses the inducibility of c-jun and junB so as to decrease the cell's ability to proliferate in response to 10% fetal bovine serum.
