Abstract
Present investigation revealed that 3T3-L1 cells contained two protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies, i.e. α- and β-PKC. These cells treated by staurosporine, a specific inhibitor of PKC, differentiated to adipocytes more remarkably than those without its treatment. Their α- and β-PKC activity decreased to 49% and 18% of the staurosporine-untreated cells respectively, and GPDH activity, a marker enzyme of adipocytes, increased to 143%. Thus, both α- and β-PKC seemed to be associated with the adipose conversion in 3T3-L1 cells.
