Abstract

Background: HIV-associated lipodystrophy is associated with decreased expression of PPAR-γ in adipose tissue. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers (cis9, trans11 and trans10, cis12) are putative PPAR-γ agonists, but have not previously been investigated in the context of HIVassociated lipodystrophy. Method: 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were differentiated in the presence of ritonavir (20 μM as per previous experimental models) and 100 μM cis9,trans11, trans10,cis12 or vehicle control, DMSO. Microarray analysis, RT-PCR, DNA binding ELISA and Oil Red O staining were used to investigate adipocyte gene expression and binding, protein secretion and triglyceride storage. Results: trans10, cis12 + ritonavir altered the expression of 2160 gene transcripts greater than 1.5-fold compared with control, while 257 gene transcripts were altered by cis9,trans11 + ritonavir (P
