Mitogen-mediated induction of DUSPs during adipocyte differentiation. PAs (d0) were stimulated with MDI for adipocyte differentiation. Total RNA was harvested from PAs (d0) stimulated with MDI to examine (A) early inducible or (B) non-inducible DUSPs and (C) late inducible and (D) non-inducible DUSPs during differentiation. DUSP mRNA was assessed by qRT-PCR. All data were normalized to 18S rRNA and expressed relative to untreated cells (0 h). Genes selected as inducible were upregulated above a twofold criterion indicated by a dashed line on the graph.
