Description
We recently isolated and identified (7E)-9-oxohexadec-7-enoic acid (1) and (10E)-9-oxohexadec-10-enoic acid (2) from the marine algae Chaetoceros karianus. Synthesis and biological characterization show that these are PPARa/? dual agonists. Herein we report the gene expression data from human SGBS pre-adipocytes, stimulated to differentiate with 1, 2 or the classical PPAR? agonist rosiglitazone. The transcriptome analysis shows that both compounds induce anti-diabetic gene programs in adipocytes by upregulating insulin-sensitizing adipokines and repressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Overall design: Human SGBS pre-adipocytes were stimulated with adipogenic media supplemented with either (7E)-9-oxohexadec-7-enoic acid, (10E)-9-oxohexadec-10-enoic acid, or rosiglitazone from day 0 to day 4. On day 4, agonists were withdrawn, and the cells were allowed to differentiate following standard protocol. On day 8, RNA was isolated and sent to sequencing.
