Effects of Gal-3 silencing on the differentiation of mouse primary preadipocytes. Mouse primary preadipocytes were transfected with Gal-3 or control siRNA and induced for differentiation for 6 days. Cells were harvested for western blot analysis of Gal-3 protein levels (A), intracellular TG (B) and the mRNA levels of adipogenic genes (C) were also determined. The protein or mRNA levels of target genes were normalized to ACTB and presented as fold of preadipocytes. Values are mean ± SD of 3–4 separate experiments. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. that of preadipocytes; ###p < 0.001 vs. that of differentiated adipocytes left untransfected or transfected with control siRNA.
