Lipin1 expression was induced at a late stage of differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and
maintained at high levels in mature adipocytes. Knockdown of expression of lipin1 by small
interfering RNA in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes almost completely inhibited differentiation into
adipocytes, whereas overexpression of lipin1 accelerated adipocyte differentiation,
demonstrating that lipin1 is required for adipocyte differentiation. In mature adipocytes,
transfection of lipin1-small interfering RNA decreased the expression of adipocyte functional …
