WNT5A promotes IL6 production in human preadipocytes in vitro. (A) Baseline mRNA expression of WNT5A and IL6 was measured in visceral/omental and subcutaneous preadipocytes by qRT-PCR (n = 5). (B) Transcript levels of IL6 after treatment with recombinant WNT5A protein (1 µg/ml for 8 hours), assessed by qRT-PCR analysis. (C,D) Transcript levels of IL6 after treatment with with siRNA against WNT5A (C) or scrambled siRNA (D) as control. Data represented as percentage of WNT5A knock-down and percentage of change in IL6 mRNA levels.
