Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of the soluble form of DPP ‐4 on Ucp1 expression in cultured white adipocytes. A and B: Expression of Dpp4 mRNA in eWAT . The mRNA expression levels of DPP 4 in eWAT from lean control and obese diabetic db/db mice (A), and in the adipocyte fraction (Adipo) and SVF fraction from eWAT (B), were determined by real‐time RT ‐ PCR . C: 10T1/2 cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes. Six days after the induction of differentiation, cells were treated with or without 1 μ m isoproterenol (Iso), 1 μg· mL −1 sDPP ‐4 and 100 μ m teneligliptin (Tene) for 8 h. After cDNA preparation, Ucp1 mRNA expression levels were determined by real‐time RT ‐ PCR . D: Effects of sDPP ‐4 on 1 μ m forskolin‐induced activation of the Ucp1 promoter. 10T1/2 cells were transfected with pUCP 1‐pro‐Luc and incubated in medium, with or without sDPP ‐4, followed by treatment with 0.5 or 1 μ m forskolin, with or without sDPP ‐4, for an additional 8 h. All the data are shown as mean + SE ( n = 5–6). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
