The process of adipogenesis involves a complex program of gene expression that includes down-regulation of the gene encoding Hes-1, a target of the Notch signaling pathway. To determine if Notch signaling affects adipogenesis, we exposed 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to the Notch ligand Jagged1 and found that differentiation was significantly reduced. This effect could be mimicked by constitutive expression of Hes-1. The block was associated with a complete loss of C/EBP{alpha} and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {gamma} (PPAR{gamma}) induction and could be overcome by retroviral expression of either C/EBP{alpha} or PPAR{gamma}2. Surprisingly, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated reduction of Hes-1 mRNA in 3T3-L1 cells also inhibited differentiation, suggesting an additional, obligatory role for Hes-1 in adipogenesis. This role may be related to our observation that both Notch signaling and Hes-1 down-regulate transcription of the gene encoding DLK/Pref-1, a protein known to inhibit differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. The results presented in this study establish a new target downstream of the Notch-Hes-1 pathway and suggest a dual role for Hes-1 in adipocyte development.
