Total RNA was extracted from ASCs using Trizol reagent and RNA concentration was determined by
Nanodrop (Nano Drop 2000, Thermo Scientific). The cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription containing 1 μg of total RNA, oligo (dT), and reverse transcription premix. The qRT-PCR reactions were performed with the
SYBR green PCR system (CFX96, Bio-Rad) in a thermal cycler (C1000, Bio-Rad). The cycling conditions were as follows: 95°C for 10 min; followed by 40 cycles involving denaturing at 95 °C for 5 s, annealing at 60 °C for 15 s, and extension at 72 °C for 10 s. Expression of mRNAs was normalized by the mRNA levels of GAPDH. The following forward and reverse primer sequences were used: C/EBPα, 5′-GCAAACTCACCGCTCCAATG-3′,5′-CTTCTCTCATGGGGGTCTGC-3′; PPARγ:5′-AGGTCAGCGGACTCTGGATTC-3′,5′-AGTGGGGATGTCTCATAATG-3′; aP2, 5′-ATGGGGGTGTCCTGGTACAT-3′, 5′-ACGTCCCTTGGCTTATGCTC-3′; LPL: 5′-CGAGCGCTCCATTCATCTCT-3′, 5′-CCAGATTGTTGCAGCGGTTC-3′; FAS, 5′-AAGGACCTGTCTAGGTTTGATGC-3′, 5′-TGGCTTCATAGGTGACTTCCA-3′, ACC, 5′-CTTGAGGGCTAGGTCTTTCTGG-3′, 5′-CTGGTTCAGCTCCAGAGGTT-3′, SREBP-1c, 5′-GCCCCTGTAACGACCACTG-3′, 5′-CAGCGAGTCTGCCTTGATG-3′, GAPDH, 5′-GAGTCAACGGATTTGGTCGT-3′,5′-TTGATTTTGGAGGGATCTCG-3′.
