Abstract
Members of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade play a major role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. This review concentrates on the role played by these pathways in the development of adipose cells. STATs are activated by both positive and negative modulators of adipocyte differentiation leading to the hypothesis that the STAT pathway may function in adipogenesis. The role of the p42/p44 MAPK pathway in adipocyte differentiation has recently been the subject of contradictory reports. Several molecular mechanisms are proposed to explain the opposing effects of MAPK activation in the programme of adipose cell differentiation.
