Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are antidiabetic insulin-sensitizing agents that bind to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and have potent adipogenic effects on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. In fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, TZDs markedly decreased PPARgamma mRNA levels without reducing the expression of genes that are positively regulated by PPARgamma, such as adipocyte lipid-binding protein 2 (aP2) or lipoprotein lipase-(LPL). PPARgamma mRNA levels were also downregulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), an antiadipogenic cytokine. We propose that the downregulation of PPARgamma is not the common denominator of the metabolic effects of TZDs and TNFalpha on mature adipocytes.
