Inhibition of adipocyte differentiation by HIV protease inhibitors.
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 1999 November
Patients with AIDS who are receiving therapy with HIV protease inhibitors have been widely reported to be afflicted with a syndrome characterized by lipodystrophy (fat redistribution favoring the accumulation of abdominal and cervical adipose tissue), hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance. HIV protease inhibitors have been suggested to have a direct role in modulating adipocyte differentiation. To address this hypothesis, several HIV protease inhibitors were studied for their ability to either augment or inhibit the differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Dose-responsive inhibition of adipogenesis by several protease inhibitors was noted as measured by reduced triglyceride accumulation and attenuated induction of three differentiation marker genes -- aP2, lipoprotein lipase, and Adipo Q. Potential mechanisms for altered adipocyte function, including direct binding to PPARgamma or inhibition of PPARgamma-mediated gene transcription were effectively excluded.
