The impact of interleukin (IL)-1ß on tumor necrosis factor α-induced adipose-related protein (TIARP)/six-transmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2) was determined in adipocytes. TIARP/STAMP2 mRNA synthesis was significantly stimulated by IL-1ß in a dose- and time-dependent fashion in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Signaling studies suggested that janus kinase 2, nuclear factor κB, and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase are involved in IL-1ß-induced TIARP/STAMP2 mRNA expression. Furthermore, IL-1ß, TNFα, and IL-6 showed synergistic stimulatory effects on TIARP/STAMP2 gene expression. Moreover, both TIARP/STAMP2 mRNA synthesis and protein expression were induced by IL-1ß in fully differentiated human mesenchymal stem cell-derived adipocytes (hMSC-Ad). Taken together, TIARP/STAMP2 is highly upregulated in 3T3-L1 cells and hMSC-Ad by IL-1ß and might, therefore, modulate proinflammatory and insulin resistance-inducing effects of IL-1ß.
