Fig. 3. Ectopic expression of PKB
by retrovirus infection restores adipogenesis in PKB
/ MEFs. (A) PKB
/ MEFs were infected with retrovirus expressing HA-PKB
or vector only. After puromycin selection, extracts of cells were analysed by western blotting for the expression of HA-PKB
. (B) Cells were exposed to the adipogenic cocktail and stained with Oil Red O after 15 days. (C) RT-PCR analysis of adipose markers PPAR
and aP2 in PKB
/ MEFs infected with vector or HA-PKB
-expressing retrovirus and submitted to adipose differentiation.
