In this study, non-transformed progeny adipofibroblasts, derived from mature adipocyte dedifferentiation, was used as a novel in vitro model to study adipogenic gene expression in cattle. Adipofibroblasts from dedifferentiated mature perimuscular fat (PMF) tissue were cultured with differentiation stimulants until the cells exhibited morphological differentiation. Treated cells were harvested from day 2 to 16 for RNA extraction, whereas control cells were cultured without addition of stimulants. Results from time course gene expression assays by quantitative real-time PCR revealed that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) and their six down-stream genes were co-expressed at day 2 post-differentiation induction. When compared to other adipogenesis culture systems, the adipogenic gene expression of bovine PMF adipofibroblasts culture was different, especially to the rodent model. Collectively, these results demonstrated PPAR-γ and SREBP-1 cooperatively play a key role to regulate the re-differentiation of bovine adipofibroblasts, during early conversion stages in vitro. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle satellite cells were cultured from mature rats and were treated in vitro with various combinations of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). In serum-free defined medium the following observations were made: TGF-beta depressed proliferation and inhibited differentiation; FGF stimulated proliferation and depressed differentiation; IGF-I stimulated proliferation to a small degree but demonstrated a more pronounced stimulation of differentiation. In evaluating combinations of these three factors, the differentiation inhibiting effect of TGF-beta could not be counteracted by any combination of IGF-I or FGF. The proliferation-depressing activity of TGF-beta, however, could not inhibit the mitogenic activity of FGF. Maximum stimulation of proliferation was observed in the presence of both FGF and IGF-I. The highest percentage fusion was also observed under these conditions, but differentiation with minimal proliferation resulted from treatment with IGF-I, alone. By altering the concentrations of TGF-beta, FGF, and IGF-I, satellite cells can be induced to proliferate, differentiate, or to remain quiescent. 相似文献

Growth hormone GH stimulates lipolysis in mature adipocytes and primary preadipocytes but promotes adipogenesis in preadipocyte cell lines. The lactogenic hormones (prolactin PRL and placental lactogen) also stimulate adipogenesis in preadipocyte cell lines but have variable lipolytic and lipogenic effects in mature adipose tissue. We hypothesized that differences in expression of GH receptors GHR and PRL receptors PRLR during adipocyte development might explain some of the differential effects of the somatogens and lactogens on fat metabolism. To that end, we compared: (a) the expression of GHR and PRLR mRNAs in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes during the course of adipocyte differentiation; (b) the induction of STAT-5 activity by GH and PRL during adipogenesis; and (c) the acute effects of GH and PRL on the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS-1-3 and cytokine-inducible SH2-domain-containing protein CIS) and IGF-I. In confluent, undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells, the levels of GHR mRNA were approximately 250-fold higher than the levels of PRLR mRNA. Following induction of adipocyte differentiation the levels of PRLR mRNA rose 90-fold but GHR mRNA increased only 0.8-fold. Expression of both full-length (long) and truncated (short) isoforms of the PRLR increased during differentiation but the long isoform predominated at all time points. Mouse GH mGH stimulated increases in STAT-5a and 5b activity in undifferentiated as well as differentiating 3T3-L1 cells; mouse PRL mPRL had little or no effect on STAT-5 activity in undifferentiated cells but stimulated increases in STAT-5a and 5b activity in differentiating cells. mGH stimulated increases in SOCS-2 and SOCS-3 mRNAs in undifferentiated cells and SOCS-1-3 and CIS mRNAs in differentiating cells; mPRL induced CIS in differentiating cells but had no effect on SOCS-1-3. mPRL and mGH stimulated increases in IGF-I mRNA in differentiating cells but not in undifferentiated cells; the potency of mGH (3-6-fold increase, p < 0.01) exceeded that of mPRL (40-90% increase, p < 0.05). Our findings reveal disparities in the expression of PRLR and GHR during adipocyte development and differential effects of the hormones on STAT-5, the SOCS proteins, CIS, and IGF-I. These observations suggest that somatogens and lactogens regulate adipocyte development and fat metabolism through distinct but overlapping cellular mechanisms. 相似文献

Summary To better understand possible autocrine or paracrine mechanisms involved in adipose tissue development, we have studied the
biosynthesis of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by cultured porcine preadipocytes in response to factors known to modulate cell growth and differentiation. The expression
of c-fos was also monitored because of the potential role of that proto-oncogene in coordination of growth and differentiation. Preadipocytes
were grown to confluence and then maintained in one of three media treatments: a) standard medium supplemented with 10% fetal
bovine serum (FBS), b) FBS supplemented with dexamethasone (Dex), c) FBS supplemented with dibutryladenosine 3′–5′-cyclic
monophosphate. Indirect measurements of growth indicated that cell proliferation did not differ due to media type. Histochemical
and enzymatic measurements of adipocyte development revealed that differentiation occurred only in those cultures exposed
to Dex. The increase in adipocyte differentiation in response to Dex was associated with a decrease in c-fos and actin RNA expression whereas the decrease in c-fos RNA expression in response to Dex was small (approximately 40%); immunocytochemical analysis indicated that induction of
Fos protein occurred only in undifferentiated cells. Thus, the cells responsible for the decrease in c-fos RNA expression are possibly those signaled to differentiate into adipocytes. Expression of IGF-I RNA and secretion of IGF-I
and PGE2 were also decreased in response to Dex treatment. These data provide the first demonstration that biosynthesis of IGF-I by
preadipocytes can be modulated by a potent inducer of adipocyte differentiation. The combined results indicate that glucocorticoids
may stimulate adipocyte differentiation by suppressing intracellular and putative intercellular mitogenic signals.

Muscle is an important target tissue for insulin-like growth factor (IGF) action. We have previously reported that muscle cell differentiation is associated with down-regulation of the IGF-I receptor at the level of gene expression that is concomitant with an increase in the expression and secretion of IGF-II. Furthermore, treatment of myoblasts with IGF-II resulted in a similar decrease in IGF-I receptor mRNA abundance, suggesting an autocrine role of IGF-II in IGF-I receptor regulation. To explore further the role of IGF-II in IGF-I receptor regulation, BC3H-1 mouse muscle cells were exposed to differentiation medium in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), a known inhibitor of myogenic differentiation. FGF treatment of cells resulted in a 50% inhibition of IGF-II gene expression compared to that in control myoblasts and markedly inhibited IGF-II secretion. Concomitantly, FGF resulted in a 60-70% increase in IGF-I binding compared to that in control myoblasts. Scatchard analyses and studies of gene expression demonstrated that the increased IGF-I binding induced by FGF reflected parallel increases in IGF-I receptor content and mRNA abundance. These studies indicate that FGF may up-regulate IGF-I receptor expression in muscle cells through inhibition of IGF-II peptide expression and further support the concept of an autocrine role of IGF-II in IGF-I receptor regulation. In addition, these studies suggest that one mechanism by which FGF inhibits muscle cell differentiation is through inhibition of IGF-II expression. 相似文献

The hormonal regulation of leptin mRNA expression and the association between leptin expression and adipocyte differentiation were examined in primary cultures of porcine S-V cells with Northern blot and immunocytochemical analysis. Seeding for 3 days with fetal bovine serum (FBS) with varying levels of dexamethasone (Dex) increased levels of leptin mRNA in a dosedependent manner in parallel with increases in the proportion of preadipocytes (AD-3 positive cells; AD-3, a preadipocyte marker). Six-day treatment with 10 or 850 nM insulin after FBS+Dex treatment resulted in a similar increase in leptin mRNA expression and morphological differentiation. However, significantly lower levels of leptin mRNA and smaller fat cells were observed in cultures treated with 1 nM insulin or 10 nM insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Dex-induced increases in leptin mRNA levels and AD-3 cell numbers were blocked completely by the addition of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) to FBS+Dex-treated cultures. However TGF-β significantly increased fat cell size and leptin mRNA expression when added to ITS (insulin, 850 nM; transferrin, 5 μg/ml; and selenium, 5 ug/mL) treated cultures during the lipid-filling stage. When added with FBS+DEX for the first 3 days, growth hormone (GH) did not influence the Dex-induced increase in AD-3 cells and leptin mRNA expression, but GH reduced leptin mRNA levels when added with insulin for 6 days after FBS+Dex. These results demonstrated that regulation of leptin mRNA expression by Dex, insulin, IGF-I, TGF-β, and GH may be associated with changes in preadipocyte number and fat cell size. 相似文献

The hypophysectomized rat has been used as a model to study the effects of growth hormone deficiency on bone. Here, we have investigated the influence of growth hormone administration to hypophysectomized rats (HX) for 6 wk on accumulation of triglycerides in bone marrow and on the differentiation of primary marrow stromal cells into adipocytes under in vitro conditions. We found that hypophysectomy significantly increased triglyceride concentration in bone marrow, which was attenuated by growth hormone administration. Primary bone marrow stromal cells derived from HX rats also had more adipocytes at confluence compared with growth hormone-treated hypophysectomized (GH) rats. When stimulated with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine plus dexamethasone (IBMX-Dex), preadipocyte colony counts increased more significantly in GH rats. Markers of adipocyte differentiation were higher in HX than in control or GH rats at confluence. However, after stimulation with IBMX-Dex, increased expression of markers was seen in GH compared with HX rats. In conclusion, growth hormone administration to hypophysectomized rats attenuated triglyceride accumulation in bone marrow and inhibited the differentiation of stromal cells into adipocytes in vitro. 相似文献

Summary Newborn rat adipocyte precursors, isolated from inguinal fat pads of 2 day-old NBR rats proliferate and undergo adipose differentiation
in defined medium in the absence of serum when cultivated on polylysine coated dishes in DME-F12 medium supplemented with
fibronectin, insulin, transferrin and FGF. After 7 days in culture in these conditions, 90% of the cells have undergone differentiation
as measured by the increase of G3PDH specific activity and by the accumulation of triglycerides in their cytoplasm. In contrast,
the cells cultivated in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, have a limited ability to differentiate. These results indicate
that newborn rat adipocyte precursors from inguinal fat pads do not require the presence of an undefined adipogenic factor
in order to differentiate in culture. In contrast, proliferation and differentiation are dependent on the presence of insulin
in the culture medium. Moreover, the data presented in this paper show that the rat adipocyte precursor culture represents
a rapid and reproducible system for investigating the processes of adipose tissue development and for studying the negative
and positive regulators of the adipose differentiation in a controlled environment.

Editor’s Statement This paper extends to primary cultures the serum-free methods previously applied to studies of adipocyte
differentiation in established lines. The observation that serum can block differentiation in this system suggests the existence
of previously unrecognized circulating plasma or platelet factors affecting adipocyte differentiation, and the model developed
provides an assay for the identification of these factors. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) regulates muscle and fat metabolism, which impacts on body composition and insulin sensitivity, but the underlying GH signaling pathways have not been studied in vivo in humans. We investigated GH signaling in biopsies from muscle and abdominal fat obtained 30 (n = 3) or 60 (n = 3) min after an intravenous bolus of GH (0.5 mg) vs. saline in conjunction with serum sampling in six healthy males after an overnight fast. Expression of the following signal proteins were assayed by Western blotting: STAT5/p-STAT5, MAPK, and Akt/PKB. IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity was measured by in vitro phosphorylation of PI. STAT5 DNA binding activity was assessed with EMSA, and the expression of IGF-I and SOCS mRNA was measured by real-time RT-PCR. GH induced a 52% increase in circulating FFA levels with peak values after 155 min (P = 0.03). Tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT5 was detected in muscle and fat of all subjects after GH. Activation of MAPK was observed in several lysates but without GH dependency. Neither PKB/Akt nor PI 3-kinase activity was affected by GH. GH-induced STAT5 DNA binding and expression of IGF-I mRNA were detected in fat, whereas expression of SOCS-1 and -3 tended to increase after GH in muscle and fat, respectively. We conclude that 1) STAT5 is acutely activated in human muscle and fat after a GH bolus, but additional downstream GH signaling was significant only in fat; 2) the direct GH effects in muscle need further characterization; and 3) this human in vivo model may be used to study the mechanisms subserving the actions of GH on substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat. 相似文献

The stroma of mature brown fat has been shown to contain cells which can proliferate and accumulate fat in monolayer cultures, and which have inherent characteristics distinct from those of white fat precursor cells. The purpose of the present investigation was to characterize by electron microscopic analysis these brown fat cells and their subsequent development when they were grown in vitro. By comparison with the existing ultrastructural data on brown fat in situ, it could thus be determined whether or not the precursor cells have the capacity to differentiate in culture. The stromal-vascular fraction isolated from the brown fat of weaned rats was identified as containing adipocyte stem cells, preadipocytes, endothelial cells and a few mature adipocytes. During the first week in culture (i.e., growth phase to confluence), when multilocular fat accumulation occurred, the mitochondria of the preadipocytes developed cristae and matrix granules, as they do in differentiating brown fat in situ. Such granules have been shown to be a sign of intense inner membrane synthetic activity. After confluence, the mitochondria regressed in internal structure and became morphologically more similar to white fat mitochondria. It was concluded that mature brown fat contains precursor cells which can differentiate in vitro. However, this differentiation was incomplete, and the necessity of specific factors for a full mitochondrial development in brown fat is discussed. 相似文献

Possible involvement of protein kinase C in the induction of adipose differentiation-related protein by Sterol ester in RAW 264.7 macrophages 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
We studied the effects of BMP-7/OP-1 on growth and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells. BMS2, a mouse bone marrow stromal cell line capable of differentiating into adipocytes and osteoblasts, were treated in a serum-free medium containing differentiation agents that favor the expression of both lineages. BMP-7/OP-1 stimulated cell proliferation and differentiation concomitantly. These effects were dose- and growth phase-dependent. Cells were more sensitive to the treatment early in the culture (30-40% confluence) with a significant increase in cell proliferation and markers of differentiation at low concentrations. When treated later in the growth phase (90-100% confluence), no significant increase in cell proliferation was seen. The concentration requirement for cells later in the culture to reach an equivalent degree of differentiation was 3-10- fold higher than for cells treated early. In both cases, the effects on adipocyte differentiation were biphasic; low concentrations stimulated adipocyte differentiation which was inhibited at higher concentrations where stimulation of osteoblast markers were observed. We conclude that cell proliferation and cell differentiation into adipocyte/osteoblast can occur simultaneously under BMP-7/OP-1 treatment. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor-I is an essential regulator of the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

Murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes proliferate normally in medium containing fetal calf serum depleted of insulin, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). However, the cells do not differentiate into adipocytes in the presence of the hormone-depleted serum. Supplementation of the growth medium with 10-20 nM IGF-I or 2 microM insulin restores the ability of 3T3-L1 cells to develop into adipocytes. The cells acquire an adipocyte morphology, accumulate triglycerides, and express a 450-fold increase in the activity of the lipogenic enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The increase in glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is paralleled by the accumulation of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA and mRNA for the myelin P2-like protein aP2, another marker for fat cell development. IGF-I or insulin-stimulated adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells is not dependent on growth hormone. Occupancy of preadipocyte IGF-I receptors by IGF-I (or insulin) is implicated as a central step in the differentiation process. The IGF-I receptor binds insulin with a 70-fold lower affinity than IGF-I, and 30-70-fold higher levels of insulin are required to duplicate the effects of an optimal amount of IGF-I. The effects of 10-20 nM IGF-I are likely to be mediated by high affinity (KD = 5 nM) IGF-I receptors that are expressed at a density of 13,000 sites/preadipocyte. In undifferentiated cells the IGF-I receptor concentration is twice that of the insulin receptor. After adipocyte differentiation is triggered, the number and affinity of IGF-I receptors remain constant while insulin receptor number increases approximately 25-fold as developing adipocytes become responsive to insulin at the level of metabolic regulation. Thus, preadipocytes have the potential for a maximal response to IGF-I, whereas the accumulation of more than 95% of adipocyte insulin receptors and the appearance of responsiveness to insulin are consequences of differentiation. IGF-I or insulin is essential for the induction of a variety of abundant and nonabundant mRNAs characteristic of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 相似文献

Summary To facilitate the study of regulators of differentiation and proliferation of small intestinal epithelium in the suckling
rat we have developed a serum-free organ culture system and used it to examine epithelial responsiveness to various regulatory
hormones. These hormones included the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) whose action can be blocked by binding proteins in
serum. Jejunal explants from 5-day-old suckling rats maintained better brush border enzyme activity and better histology when
cultured under hyperbaric conditions for 24 h in serum-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/F12 medium than in RPMI 1640
plus 10% fetal bovine serum. Tissue responsiveness to various regulatory hormones was then tested in the serum-free medium.
Insulin had no significant effect on morphology, proliferation rate, or enzyme activity in 5-day explants after 24 h in culture.
However, insulin did increase lactase activity and induce the early appearance of sucrase in 10- and 12-day explants after
48 h culture. Dexamethasone increased specific activities of alkaline phosphatase (30%,P<0.001) and lactase (15%,P<0.001), and reduced shedding of alkaline phosphatase into the medium (P<0.001), in explants of 5-day-old rats cultured over 24 h. Dexamethasone combined with insulin had no obvious effect on the
rate of protein or DNA synthesis but did increase villus height (P=0.04) and crypt depth (P=0.001) and acted synergistically to further increase lactase activity above levels obtained by either alone. IGF-I and IGF-II,
des-(1–3)IGF-I, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and growth hormone (GH) had no effect on morphology or biochemical activity
of explants after 24 or 48 h culture. In conclusion, histology, enzyme activity, protein, and DNA synthesis of suckling rat
jejunal explants were equivalent or better in serum-free than in serum-containing organ culture systems. Furthermore, biological
responsiveness was demonstrated by dexamethasone and insulin altering the explants morphologically or biochemically. None
of the IGFs or GH had any biological effects, raising doubts about their direct biological action on the developing intestinal
epithelium. 相似文献

The function of adipocytes interspersed between myofiber fasciculi in skeletal muscle physiology and physiopathology is poorly documented. Because regional differences in adipocyte features have been reported in various species, we hypothesized that lipid metabolism and secretory function of intramuscular (IM) adipocytes differ from that of nonmuscular adipocytes. In the present study, adipocytes isolated from trapezius muscle were compared with subcutaneous and perirenal adipocytes in growing pigs. Between 80 and 210 days of age, gene expressions and/or activities of enzymes involved in lipogenesis or lipolysis were much lower (P < 0.05) in adipocytes isolated from muscle than in those from other locations. Insulin-induced lipogenesis and lipolytic efficiency after catecholamine addition were also the lowest (P < 0.05) in IM adipocytes. In these cells, the age-related increase (+300%) in the ratio of mRNA levels of fatty acid synthase to hormone-sensitive lipase paralleled the enlargement of adipocyte diameters (+70%, P < 0.05) and the increase in lipid content in muscle (+135%, P < 0.05) during growth. Expressions of genes coding for leptin, adiponectin, and IGF-I, as well as for various hormonal receptors, were lower (P < 0.05) in IM adipocytes than in other adipocytes, whereas levels of TNF-alpha mRNA did not differ between sites. Interestingly, IGF-II mRNA levels were higher (P < 0.05) in IM adipocytes than in other adipocytes. These data support the view that IM fat is not just an ectopic extension of other fat locations but displays specific biological features during growth. 相似文献

Chicken, ovine or human growth hormones have no mitogenic effect on chicken heart mesenchymal cells, which are proliferatively quiescent at low culture densities in medium containing heparinized, heat-defibrinogenated rooster plasma at 10%. Sm-C/IGF-I (15 ng/ml; 2 nM), MSA/rIGF-II (50 ng/ml; 7 nM), insulin (10,000 ng/ml; 1750 nM) or proinsulin (16,000 ng/ml; 1750 nM), however, cause these cells to increase threefold in number during four days of incubation. While EGF alone at 100 ng/ml causes threefold multiplication at four days and brain FGF causes a sixfold increase, EGF acts synergistically with Sm-C/IGF-I, MSA/rIGF-II, insulin or proinsulin to cause 18-fold multiplication, and brain FGF acts synergistically with IGFs to cause 20-fold multiplication. EGF and brain FGF, however, show no mitogenic synergy. Addition to the plasma-containing culture medium of a monoclonal antibody to Sm-C/IGF-I nearly abolishes the mitogenic effect of added EGF or brain FGF but does not affect the autonomous (mitogenic hormone-independent) proliferation of RSV-infected chicken heart mesenchymal cells. These findings support the somatomedin hypothesis for growth hormone action and suggest that potentiation of the activity of other mitogenic hormones, like EGF and FGF, makes a significant contribution to control of cell proliferation by the GH/IGF axis. 相似文献

Reports vary on the role of growth hormone (GH) in adipocyte differentiation. In this study, we showed that GH exerted dual effects depending on the stage of differentiation, using a serum-free culture of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. GH promoted the differentiation when added to the medium during differentiation-inducing treatment with a hormone cocktail, but apparently suppressed it when added after the treatment. Only the suppressive effect was observed in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Immunodepletion study showed that GH contributes to the differentiation-promoting activity of FBS. Insulin-like growth factor-1 could not replicate either the stimulative or the suppressive effect of GH. Stimulation of differentiation by GH involved the enhanced expression of mRNA of middle to late adipocyte markers. Among the key regulators of adipogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) alpha, but not C/EBPbeta, were stimulated for mRNA expression by GH added during the treatment with hormone cocktail. The stimulation of adipogenesis by GH was indeed due to the increase in the ratio of differentiated cells, though GH also promoted cell growth. 相似文献

Small size at birth has been associated with an increased risk of central obesity and reduced lean body mass in adult life. This study investigated the time of onset of prenatally induced obesity, which occurs after maternal feed restriction, in the guinea pig, a species that, like the human, develops substantial adipose tissue stores before birth. We examined the effect of maternal feed restriction [70% ad libitum intake from 4 wk before to midpregnancy, then 90% until day 60 gestation (term approximately 69 days)] on fetal growth and body composition in the guinea pig. Maternal feed restriction reduced fetal (-39%) and placental (-30%) weight at 60 days gestation and reduced liver, biceps muscle, spleen, and thymus weights, relative to fetal weight, while relative weights of brain, lungs, and interscapular and retroperitoneal fat pads were increased. In the interscapular depot, maternal feed restriction decreased the volume density of multilocular fat and increased that of unilocular fat, resulting in an increased relative weight of interscapular unilocular fat. Maternal feed restriction did not alter the relative weight of perirenal fat or the volume density of adipocyte populations within the depot but increased unilocular lipid locule size. Maternal feed restriction in the guinea pig is associated with decreased weight of major organs, including liver and skeletal muscle, but increased adiposity of the fetus, with relative sparing of unilocular adipose tissue. If this early-onset obesity persists, it may contribute to the metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction that these offspring of feed-restricted mothers develop as adults. 相似文献
