The effects of estradiol-17 beta and progesterone on multiplication, differentiation and lipid filling of adipose precursor cells were examined in primary cell cultures of cells prepared from adipose tissue of both male and ovariectomized female rats. Progesterone down to a concentration of 10(-7) mol/liter, alone or in the presence of estradiol-17 beta stimulated the development of glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and lipoprotein lipase activity. Estradiol-17 beta alone had no effects. These effects were essentially parallel to increases in the rate of lipid filling of the cells. Furthermore, the formation of cells with a lipid vacuole greater than 20 micron was markedly stimulated, suggesting that new fat cells were formed by the stimulation of differentiation of the adipose precursor cells. No effects of the sex steroid hormones were seen on the rate of multiplication. These results suggest a role of sex steroid hormones in the regulation of triglyceride storage capacity in adipose tissue by facilitating the differentiation of precursor cells to form new adipocytes. 相似文献

We have isolated continuously growing cell lines derived from mouse bone marrow stroma. These cell lines were independently obtained, and though they showed morphologies ranging from the epithelioid to the fibroblastoid patterns, they all differentiated into adipocytes. Subclones obtained from two cell lines had a very high frequency (90-100%) of differentiation into adipocytes after two or three weeks of arrested growth. Though extensive accumulation of lipid often mechanically impaired mitosis, the cells committed to adipocytes did not suffer an irreversible loss of proliferative capacity. Adipogenesis was obtained in conditions similar to those required for fat cell formation in long-term bone marrow culture. The cell lines were found to be insensitive to insulin as a signal of adipocyte differentiation. The ultrastructural characteristics of the preadipocytes and fat cells are also similar to those of the fat cells developing in long-term bone marrow culture. As such, these cell lines should prove useful for analysing cell/cell interactions in haemopoiesis. 相似文献

The adipokine Chemerin is reported to regulate adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis in vivo and in 3T3-L1 cells. Our team is focused on the role of Chemerin in metabolism and intramuscular adipocyte differentiation because intramuscular fat is the basic material for the formation of marbling in livestock and poultry meat. In this study, bovine intramuscular mature adipocytes were cultured in medium with Chemerin, and the process of lipolysis of mature adipocytes and the adipogenesis of de-differentiated preadipocytes were investigated. The results showed that Chemerin induced significant lipolytic metabolism in intramuscular mature adipocytes, indicated by increased levels of glycerol, FFA, and up-regulated expression of the lipolysis critical factors HSL, LPL, and leptin. Meanwhile, the expressions of adipogenic key factors PPARγ, C/EBPα, and A-FABP were decreased by Chemerin during lipolysis or dedifferentiation in mature adipocytes. The de-differentiated preadipocytes could re-differentiate into mature adipocytes. Intriguingly, the formation of cells’ lipid droplets was promoted by Chemerin during preadipocyte differentiation. In addition, mRNA and protein expressions of PPARγ, C/EBPα, and A-FABP were up-regulated by Chemerin during preadipocytes differentiation. These results suggest that Chemerin promotes lipolysis in mature adipocytes and induces adipogenesis during preadipocyte re-differentiation, further indicating a dual role for Chemerin in the deposition of intramuscular fat in ruminant animals. 相似文献

Growth differentiation factor 3 (GDF-3) is structurally a bone morphogenetic protein/growth differentiation factor subfamily member of the TGF-beta superfamily. GDF-3 exhibits highest level of expression in white fat tissue in mice and is greatly induced by high fat diet if fat metabolic pathway is blocked. To identify its biological function, GDF-3 was overexpressed in mice by adenovirus mediated gene transfer. Mice transduced with GDF-3 displayed profound weight gain when fed with high fat diet. The phenotypes included greatly expanded adipose tissue mass, increased body adiposity, highly hypertrophic adipocytes, hepatic steatosis, and elevated plasma leptin. GDF-3 stimulated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor expression in adipocytes, a master nuclear receptor that controls adipogenesis. However, GDF-3 was not involved in blood glucose homeostasis or insulin resistance, a condition associated with obesity. In contrast, similar phenotypes were not observed in GDF-3 mice fed with normal chow, indicating that GDF-3 is only active under high lipid load. Thus, GDF-3 is a new non-diabetic adipogenic factor tightly coupled with fat metabolism. 相似文献

Ob17 is a clonal cell line isolated from the epididymal fat pad of C57 BL/6J ob/ob mouse that differentiates into adiposelike cells in serum-supplemented medium. In serum-free medium, this cell line shows increased growth under the addition of insulin, transferrin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and a factor present in extract of rat submaxillary gland (SMGE). This medium is referred to as 4F. Epidermal growth factor or nerve growth factor cannot replace SMGE, whereas partially purified platelet extract can substitute for FGF but only partially for SMGE. 4F Medium is able to support the proliferation of cells from other established preadipocyte clonal lines, HGFu and 3T3-F442A, and also of preadipocyte cells isolated from the stromal-vascular fraction of rat and mouse adipose tissues. In each case 4F medium is insufficient to support the differentiation of these cells into adipocytes. Ob17 cells grown and maintained in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium retain the ability to convert to adiposelike cells after serum addition. This serum requirement for differentiation cannot be substituted by the addition of growth hormone or of other putative adipogenic factors, or both. The results are discussed with respect to the requirements for growth and differentiation of the 3T3-L1 and 1246 preadipocyte cell lines previously described. 相似文献

A new approach to free-fat autotransplantation resorption was evaluated experimentally in a rat animal model. Bioactive fat grafts were created by the addition of basic fibroblast growth factor delivered by dextran beads to the grafts and compared with free fat alone, free fat plus beads, and free fat plus beads and a control solution in the same animal. The grafts were assessed by weight and histology at 1 and 12 months postoperatively in 40 animals. A graded response in weight retention was observed at 1 and 12 months, with the growth factor-treated grafts exhibiting near complete weight maintenance after 1 year. All other bead-containing grafts had an intermediate response, with free fat alone averaging more than one-half graft weight loss after 1 year. Histologically, the bead-containing grafts had good fibroblastic ingrowth, but extensive intercellular collagen formation and the occurrence of small-sized adipocytes among the larger adipocytes were seen only in the growth factor-treated grafts. These findings indicate that graft manipulations that affect the preadipocyte cells of the graft or fibroblastic components of the recipient site, either through polypeptide stimulation or surface charge attraction, may offer a viable approach to postoperative fat-graft volume maintenance. 相似文献

Recent research findings postulate that adipocytes and endothelial cells (EC) may share a common progenitor. However, the interlinking pathways between adipose tissue and endothelium, and the differentiation potential of cells to convert from one tissue into the other via progenitor cells have not been elucidated and are therefore the focus of this study. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells were isolated from liposuction aspirates or excised adipose tissue and separated into CD31+ and CD31- populations by magnet-assisted cell sorting. Differentiation to fat tissue was induced in both CD31 fractions after expansion by insulin, dexamethasone, isobutylmethylxanthine, triiodothyronine, pioglitazone, and transferrin. Differentiation was assayed enzymatically and by cell counting. Maturation to endothelium was performed with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 plus 2% fetal calf serum, and confirmed by flow cytometry and tube formation assays on Matrigel. Our results show that the SVF contains a CD31-, S100+ cell type that can differentiate into adipocytes and EC. The SVF also comprises CD31+ cells that, although they have an endothelial phenotype, can be converted into mature adipocytes. These findings demonstrate the potency of SVF cells to perform both adipogenic and endothelial differentiation. Further, they reveal the plasticity of mature cells of mesenchymal origin to undergo conversion from endothelium to adipose tissue and vice versa. 相似文献

The role of white and brown adipose tissues in energy metabolism is well established. However, the existence of brown fat in adult humans was until very recently a matter of debate, and the molecular mechanisms underlying brown adipocyte development remained largely unknown. In 2009, several studies brought direct evidence for functional brown adipose tissue in adults. New factors involved in brown fat cell differentiation have been identified. Moreover, work on the origin of fat cells took an unexpected path with the recognition of different populations of brown fat cell precursors according to the anatomical location of the fat depots: a precursor common to skeletal muscle cells and brown adipocytes from brown fat depots, and a progenitor cell common to white adipocytes and brown adipocytes that appear in certain conditions in white fat depots. There is also mounting evidence that mature white adipocytes, including human fat cells, can be converted into brown fat-like adipocytes, and that the typical fatty acid storage phenotype of white adipocyte can be altered towards a fat utilization phenotype. These data open up new opportunities for the development of drugs for obesity and its metabolic and cardiovascular complications. 相似文献

Triiodothyronine added at 0.1 nM to 3T3-F442A cells cultured in adipogenic medium having endogenous hormone concentrations similar to those of hypothyroid serum stimulated adipose conversion; activities of both lipogenic enzymes, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme, increased with hormone treatment. The number of adipocytes was also augmented by L-T3 addition but the number of fat cell clusters remained the same as compared to non-treated cultures, suggesting that thyroid hormone increased the number of adipocytes probably through stimulating selective multiplication of precursor adipose cells. Hormone addition to cells cultured with non-adipogenic medium did not promote conversion showing that L-T3 is not an adipogenic factor by itself. Triiodothyronine added at concentrations similar to those found in hyperthyroidism, from 10 nM up to 10 µM, also increased the proportion of adipocytes without changing the number of fat cell clusters, but they decreased the activity of both lipogenic enzymes and lipid accumulation in mature adipocytes. It can be concluded that during 3T3-F442A differentiation into adipocytes L-T3 increases the number of differentiated adipocytes and, at low concentrations, also enhances lipogenic enzyme activities, whereas at the hyperthyroid hormone levels these enzyme activities are significantly reduced, remaining at levels similar to those of cells cultured with hypothyroid medium. This cloned cell line seems to be a useful model to study thyroid hormone action at both molecular and cellular level. 相似文献

The adenylyl cyclase system of preadipocytes derived from the stromal vascular fraction of perirenal rat fat pads was characterized. Unlike mature adipocytes, preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase was only weakly stimulated by catecholamines and adrenocorticotrophic hormone, but was stimulated by guanine nucleotides. Parathyroid hormone and 2-chloroadenosine also stimulated preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase. The adenylyl cyclase system of preadipocytes resembled that of undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells. However, agents which induced the differentiation of the 3T3-L1 cell adenylyl cyclase system did not have a similar effect on preadipocytes. A medium (CDM6) which induced some differentiation of preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase was developed. The observations that the adenylyl cyclase system of preadipocytes and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells are similar, that preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase can be induced to develop along lines similar to early differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells, and that the adenylyl cyclase system of fully-differentiated 3T3-L1 cells has characteristics intermediate between preadipocytes and adipocytes, suggest that the differentiation of preadipocyte and 3T3-L1 adenyly cyclase in vitro mimics adipose adenylyl cyclase development in vivo. The increased catecholamine and ACTH stimulation, and reduced GTP and adenosine sensitivities of adipocytes compared to preadipocytes suggest that a number of genes affecting adenylyl cyclase-associated regulatory and receptor proteins are coordinately repressed and derepressed during development. 相似文献

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

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

Differentiating 3T3-L1 cells exhibit a dramatic increase in the rate of insulin-stimulated glucose transport during their conversion from proliferating fibroblasts to nonproliferating adipocytes. On day 3 of 3T3-L1 cell differentiation, basal glucose transport and cell surface transferrin binding are markedly diminished. This occurs concomitant with the formation of a distinct insulin-responsive vesicular pool of intracellular glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and transferrin receptors as assessed by sucrose velocity gradients. The intracellular distribution of the insulin-responsive aminopeptidase is first readily detectable on day 3, and its gradient profile and response to insulin at this time are identical to that of GLUT1. With further time of differentiation, GLUT4 is expressed and targeted to the same insulin-responsive vesicles as the other three proteins. Our data are consistent with the notion that a distinct insulin-sensitive vesicular cargo compartment forms early during fat call differentiation and its formation precedes GLUT4 expression. The development of this compartment may result from the differentiation-dependent inhibition of constitutive GLUT1 and transferrin receptor trafficking such that there is a large increase in, or the new formation of, a population of postendosomal, insulin-responsive vesicles. 相似文献

Summary Mouse epidermal keratinocytes (MK cells) were grown as replicating subcultures at clonal density, in a serum-free, low calcium
basal medium supplemented with seven different growth factors (Bertolero et al., Exp. Cell. Res. 155:64–80, 1984). This serum-free
system was used to investigate the activity of cells. bovine serum (FBS) and of serum-derived factors on the growth and differentiation
of MK cells. Unfractionated, whole FBS inhibited growth and induced terminal differentiation of normal MK cells. The growth
inhibitory activity was considerably reduced by passing whole FBS over a resin (Chelex) to remove Ca 2+ and other di- and trivalent cations. It is not known whether this treatment removed other factors.
Addition of individual serum components either stimulated or inhibited cell-growth and differentiation. Fetuin, a major α-globulin
of FBS, and high density lipoprotein strongly inhibited the colony forming efficiency (CFE) of MK cells, whereas bovine serum
albumin increased the CFE 4.5-fold and stimulated the growth rate as well. The addition of impure commercial preparations
of platelet-derived growth factor inhibited the CFE and induced the morphological features of squamous terminally-differentiating
keratinocytes.
As reported in other systems, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) inhibited the growth of secondary keratinocytes in a
dose-dependent manner. Thus, at least three factors present in FBS inhibited growth whereas others were stimulatory. These
observations explain the difficulties in obtaining replicating subcultures of mouse keratinocytes in serum-supplemented media
and emphasize the importance of a serum-free system for studies on growth control and carcinogenesis in keratinocytes.
Editor’s Statement This report contributes significantly to our knowledge of keratinocyte cell biology in two ways. First,
a serum-free medium has been developed that can now be used by many investigators to define growth versus differentiation
factors for these cells. This is important since several impure or relatively crude preparations of factors are known to influence
these cells. Second, the finding that TGF-Beta is an inhibitor of keratinocyte growth opens new avenues to investigate the
biochemical events leading to differentiation. David A. Sirbasku 相似文献

PPARgamma activators such as rosiglitazone (RSG) stimulate adipocyte differentiation and increase subcutaneous adipose tissue mass. However, in addition to preadipocyte differentiation, adipose tissue expansion requires neovascularization to support increased adipocyte numbers. Paradoxically, endothelial cell growth and differentiation is potently inhibited by RSG in vitro, raising the question of how this drug can induce an increase in adipose tissue mass while inhibiting angiogenesis. We find that adipose tissue from mice treated with RSG have increased capillary density. To determine whether adipose tissue angiogenesis was stimulated by RSG, we developed a novel assay to study angiogenic sprout formation ex vivo. Angiogenic sprout formation from equally sized adipose tissue fragments, but not from aorta rings, was greatly increased by obesity and by TZD treatment in vivo. To define the mechanism involved in RSG-stimulated angiogenesis in adipose tissue, the expression of proangiogenic factors by adipocytes was examined. Expression of VEGFA and VEGFB, as well as of the angiopoietin-like factor-4 (ANGPTL4), was stimulated by in vivo treatment with RSG. To define the potential role of these factors, we analyzed their effects on endothelial cell growth and differentiation in vitro. We found that ANGPTL4 stimulates endothelial cell growth and tubule formation, albeit more weakly than VEGF. However, ANGPTL4 mitigates the growth inhibitory actions of RSG on endothelial cells in the presence or absence of VEGF. Thus, the interplay between VEGF and ANGPTL4 could lead to a net expansion of the adipose tissue capillary network, required for adipose tissue growth, in response to PPARgamma activators. 相似文献

Stromal-vascular cells from rats and pigs were isolated from adipose tissue and used to measure preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Cells from rats and pigs were grown in either 2.5% pig serum or 2.5% rat serum. Cells were either supplemented or unsupplemented with insulin after five days of growth in culture. In these cultures, pig fat cells developed as discrete clusters while rat fat cells developed as loose clusters or as individual cells. Rat cells had greater levels of sn-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase activity compared to pig cells. Rat serum increased soluble protein in plated cells when compared to cells grown in pig serum. Pig serum increased glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase specific activity when compared to rat serum. In this system, there was no response to insulin. The cells grown in rat serum did not resemble adipocytes in regard to the presence of large lipid droplets (oil red 0 staining). These results demonstrate that rat and pig stromal-vascular cells in culture are morphologically different. Cells from both species, however, responded similarly to sera from either species showing that cells from rats and pigs responded to the growth and differentiation factors present in these sera.Mention of a trade name, proprietary product, or specific equipment does not constitute a guarantee or warranty by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and does not imply its approval to the exclusion of other products that may be suitable. 相似文献

Adipose tissue can be harvested in large amounts with minimal morbidity. It contains numerous cells types, including adipocytes, preadipocytes, vascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells; it also contains cells that have the ability to differentiate into several lineages, such as fat, bone, cartilage, skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle, endothelium, hematopoietic cells, hepatocytes and neuronal cells. Cloning studies have shown that some adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have multilineage differentiation potential. ADSCs are also capable of expressing multiple growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor. Early, uncontrolled, non-randomized clinical research, applying fresh adipose-derived cells into a cranial defect or undifferentiated ADSCs into fistulas in Crohn's disease, has shown healing and an absence of side effects. The combination of these properties, and the large quantity of cells that can be obtained from fat, suggests that this tissue will be a useful tool in biotechnology. 相似文献
