Abstract

Background: In obesity, enlarged adipocytes become hypoxic, which inhibits adipocyte differentiation. Results: Hypoxia induces the expression of Wnt1 and Wnt10b in both human and mouse adipogenic cells in a hypoxiainducible factor (HIF)-2-dependent manner. Conclusion: Hypoxia enhances the secretion of Wnt ligands, which trigger Wnt signaling in the neighboring cells. Significance: Wnt10b is a novel HIF-2-specific target gene and a paracrine factor in hypoxia.
