Because leptin has recently been shown to induce proliferation and/or differentiation of different cell types through different pathways, the aim of the present study was to investigate, in vitro, the influence of leptin on adipogenesis in rat preadipocytes. A prerequisite to this study was to identify leptin receptors (Ob-Ra and Ob-Rb) in preadipocytes from femoral subcutaneous fat. We observed that expressions of Ob-Ra and Ob-Rb increase during adipogenesis. Furthermore, leptin induces an increase of p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylated isoforms in both confluent and differentiated preadipocytes and of STAT3 phosphorylation only in confluent preadipocytes. Moreover, exposure to leptin promoted activator protein-1 complex DNA binding activity in confluent preadipocytes. Finally, exposure of primary cultured preadipocytes from the subcutaneous area to leptin (10 nM) resulted in an increased proliferation ([H-3] thymidine incorporation and cell counting) and differentiation (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and mRNA levels of lipoprotein lipase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2, and c-fos). Altogether, these results indicate that, in vitro at least, leptin through its functional receptors exerts a proadipogenic action in subcutaneous preadipocytes.
