Role of IGF-I1Ras in Foetal Brown Adipocytes Differentiation: a novel therrnogenic mechanism
Keywords:
Differentiation, IGF-L, Foetal brown adipocytesAbstract
Foetal brown adipocyte primary cultures undergo proliferation in the presence of
IGF-I and al so induce the adipogenic-program related to lipid synthesis and the thermogenicprogram
associated with the expression of the uncoupling protein. Moreover, we have
recently described an endogenous expression of IGF-I mRNA in brown adipose tissue
at day 20 of foetal development and also an increase in the IGF-I receptor mRNA
content at the end of the foetal !ife, which runs parallel to the onset of late tissue
differentiation. Thus, IGF-I, in an autocrine/paracrine fashion may be a major signal
involved in brown adipose tissue development prior to birth.
