IL-17A differentially induces metabolic gene expression in pre-adipocytes and adipocytes. (A–J) The pre-adipocytes and adipocytes were treated without (−) or with (+) 20 ng/mL IL-17A for 2 h; mRNA expression of each gene was analyzed with qRT-PCR; the pre-adipocytes without IL-17A treatment served as the basal level for comparison; data represent mean ± SEM (error bars) of six independent experiments (n = 6 per group), * p < 0.05 between the indicated groups.
