The reporter gene system was transfected into the adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell to study insulin-mediated FOXC2 expression. We also manipulated FOXC2 protein expression by either siRNA or overexpression and studied the differentiation capability of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell into adipocytes, as well as the influence on several IR-related genes: GLUT4, PPARγ, UCP1 and PAI-1.Results: 1) Insulin effectively induced the expression of FOXC2 protein in adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells under differentiation (P< 0.01). Insulin also induced FOXC2-pro-512T promoter activity significantly (P< 0.01). 2) The stem cell adipose differentiation decreased in the FOXC2 overexpression group. 3) When FOXC2 was overexpressed, the expression of GLUT4, PAI-1 and UCP1 was higher than control groups (p< 0.001). When FOXC2 was down-regulated by siRNA, both GLUT4 and PAI-1’s protein expression were decreased (p< 0.001), and the protein expression of PPARγ was increased (p< 0.001). In the presence of insulin induction, overexpression of FOXC2 led to significantly higher UCP-1 expression (p< 0.001) and lower PAI-1 expression (p< 0.001). The protein expression of GLUT4, PAI-1 (p< 0.001) and UCP-1 (p< 0.05) was decreased in cells transfected with FOXC2 siRNA.Conclusion: Insulin effectively induced the expression of FOXC2 protein in adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells under differentiation, possibly through the regulation of the FOXC2-pro-512T promoter activity. The different protein expression of FOXC2 has regulatory effects on several genes related to insulin resistance.
