Description
The Immortalized Mouse Preadipocyte Cells (ScAP-23) was isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue from C57BL/6 mice and immortalized by infection with retroviruses carrying hTERT gene. The ScAP-23 preadipocytes convert to adipocytes when treated with dexamethasone, 3-methylisobutylxanthine, insulin, and indomethacin. Expression of key adipogenic transcription factors such as PPARɣ, C/EBP family, SREBP-1c transcription factors and Krox20/Egr2 are found upregulated during ScAP-23 adipogenesis. The ScAP-23 adipocytes contain abundant lipid droplets and express transcripts for mature adipocytes markers such as SCD1, aFABP, ATGL, FAS, LDL, and GPDH. Furthermore, ScAP-23 adipocytes demonstrate insulin responsiveness and express insulin receptor-β and major insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4. Thus, the cell line is recommended as a tool for adipocytes biology and adipogenesis research.

Quality Control
1) Oil Red O staining at day 7 after inducing adipocyte differentiation to visualize lipid droplets;
2) Harvest RNA after induction of adipogenesis and perform RT-PCR and Northern Blot to detect transcript level of adipocyte markers SCD1, aFABP, ATGL, FAS, LDL, and GPDH B.
