ABSTRACT
Cyclophilin is known to act as a molecular chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum. Recent studies have reported that the expression of cyclophilin B (CypB) is increased in ob/ob mice and its inhibitor suppresses adipocyte differentiation. However, the mechanism of action of CypB in adipocytes remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the role of CypB in 3T3L1 adipocyte differentiation. It showed that the expression level of CypB was increased during 3T3L1 adipocyte differentiation by reverse transcriptionquantitative PCR and western blotting analysis. CypB knockdown using short interfering RNA delayed cell cycle progression from the G1/S to G2/M phase through the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway and inhibited the expression levels of adipogenic transcription factors including peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAATenhancer binding protein (C/EBP)α. Additionally, the accumulation of lipid droplets was inhibited by CypB knockdown. Conversely, overexpression of CypB promoted cell cycle progression from the G1/S to G2/M phase by the mTOR signaling pathway and enhanced the expression levels of adipogenic transcription factors including PPARγ and C/EBPα. Finally, the present study showed that CypB downregulated the expression of CHOP, a wellknown negative regulator of adipogenesis. Taken together, the data suggested that CypB might serve important physiological regulatory roles in 3T3L1 adipocyte differentiation.
