Regulation of progranulin in adipocytes and its role in inflammation is poorly understood. Aim: (i) to investigate regulation of progranulin in adipocyte differentiation and adipose tissue compartments, (ii) to address progranulin expression in two murine (C57BL/6) models of inflammation. Results: Progranulin expression was induced during adipocyte differentiation. Neither estradiol nor testosterone or metabolic stimuli such as glucose and insulin modified progranulin synthesis. Fatty acids, bile acids and incretins GLP-1 and GIP-1 exerted potent and differential effects on progranulin secretion. LPS, TNF and IL6 significantly increased progranulin secretion. TLR9 agonists decreased and TLR1/2, TLR3, TLR5, and TLR2/6 ligands increased progranulin expression. TLR3-mediated progranulin induction was abrogated by inhibitors of NF-κB and PI3K pathways. Progranulin expression between murine epididymal and …
