| Research Abstract |
We analyzed genes differentially expressed in adipocytes when co-cultured with macrophages in the presence of a ligand TLR-4, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RAW264.7, a murine macrophage cell line and differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were co-cultured using a transwell system. Genes differentially expressed in adipocytes were analyzed by the DNA microarray method. Co-culture of macrophages and adipocytes with a low LPS concentration markedly upregulated gene expressions associated with inflammation and/or angiogenesis, such as those of IL-6, MCP-1, RANTES and CXCL1/KC, in adipocytes.
