Suppression of adipogenesis by pathogenic seipin mutant is associated with inflammatory response.

BACKGROUND: While pathogenic mutations in BSCL2/Seipin cause congenital generalized lipodystrophy, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we investigated whether and how the pathogenic missense A212P mutation of Seipin (Seipin-A212P) inhibits adipogenesis. METHODOLOGY/RESULTS: W...
