Human ADMC-Derived Adipocyte Thermogenic Capacity Is Regulated by IL-4 Receptor

Figure 2

pSTAT-6 is induced by IL-4 treatment of mature adipocytes. Precursor cells were obtained, proliferated, and induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes, followed by treatment with BSA alone (vehicle), IL-4, 10 ng/mL; IL-6, 100 ng/mL, or IL-4, 10 ng/mL and IL-6, 100 ng/mL. (a) Phosphorylated STAT-6 (pSTAT-6) protein was measured using Western blot. (b) Phosphorylated STAT-6 (pSTAT-6) protein expression was measured by Western blotting. Relative band intensity was determined by densitometry. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA. Data represent mean ± SD. between mature adipocytes treated with IL-4 and IL-4 + IL-6. between mature adipocytes (MA) treated with IL-4 or IL-6.
