Enhanced proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes in coculture.

ABSTRACT: The interactions between adipocytes and endothelial cells in adipose tissue development are poorly understood. In this study, we characterized the growth and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in planar and collagen gel cocultures. In planar coculture, preadipocyte proliferation was up to three times as great as in the control culture with only preadipocytes, where the increase was proportional to the HUVEC fraction in the seeding mixture. In the collagen gel coculture, triglyceride (TG) content (per adipocyte) was up to 3.4 times as much as in the control with only adipocytes. This effect depended on the total density and composition of the seeding mixture, with the largest increase observed at the highest density (2 x 10(6) cells/mL collagen) and preadipocyte:HUVEC ratio (90:10) tested in this study. Immunostaining showed that the collagen gel coculture also supported the elongation of endothelial cells. Blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) abolished the adipogenesis- and neovascularization-related effects of the coculture. Taken together, our results indicate that endothelial cell-mediated enhancement of adipocyte differentiation requires the activation of VEGFR2.

Hsp90 chaperones PPARγ and regulates differentiation and survival of 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Project description:Adipose tissue dysregulation has a major role in various human diseases. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and function, as well as a target of insulin-sensitizing drugs. The Hsp90 chaperone stabilizes a diverse set of signaling 'client' proteins, thereby regulates various biological processes. Here we report a novel role for Hsp90 in controlling PPARγ stability and cellular differentiation. Specifically, we show that the Hsp90 inhibitors geldanamycin and novobiocin efficiently impede the differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Geldanamycin at higher concentrations also inhibits the survival of both developing and mature adipocytes, respectively. Further, Hsp90 inhibition disrupts an Hsp90-PPARγ complex, leads to the destabilization and proteasomal degradation of PPARγ, and inhibits the expression of PPARγ target genes, identifying PPARγ as an Hsp90 client. A similar destabilization of PPARγ and a halt of adipogenesis also occur in response to protein denaturing stresses caused by a single transient heat-shock or proteasome inhibition. Recovery from stress restores PPARγ stability and adipocyte differentiation. Thus, our findings reveal Hsp90 as a critical stress-responsive regulator of adipocyte biology and offer a potential therapeutic target in obesity and the metabolic syndrome.

MCAM knockdown impairs PPARγ expression and 3T3-L1 fibroblasts differentiation to adipocytes.

Project description:We investigated for the first time the expression of melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) and its involvement in the differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. We found that MCAM mRNA increased subsequent to the activation of the master regulator of adipogenesis, PPARγ, and this increase was maintained in the mature adipocytes. On the other hand, MCAM knockdown impaired differentiation and induction of PPARγ as well as expression of genes activated by PPARγ. However, events that precede and are necessary for early PPARγ activation, such as C/EBPβ induction, β-catenin downregulation, and ERK activation, were not affected in the MCAM knockdown cells. In keeping with this, the increase in PPARγ mRNA that precedes MCAM induction was not altered in the knockdown cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest that MCAM is a gene upregulated and involved in maintaining PPARγ induction in the late but not in the early stages of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts adipogenesis.

Mir-152 Regulates 3T3-L1 Preadipocyte Proliferation and Differentiation.

Project description:Adipogenesis is a complex biological process and the main cause of obesity. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small endogenous non-coding RNAs, have been proven to play an important role in adipogenesis by the post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. In this current study, we observed an increment of miR-152 expression during the process of 3T3-L1 cell audiogenic differentiation. A functional analysis indicated that the overexpression of miR-152 inhibited pre-adipocyte proliferation and suppressed the expression of some cell cycle-related genes. Moreover, the overexpression of miR-152 promoted lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes accompanied by increase of the expression of some pro-audiogenic genes. Additionally, a dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was a direct target gene of miR-152 during preadipocyte differentiation. Further analysis showed that miR-152 was positively correlated with adipogenesis and intramuscular fat formation in vivo. Taken together, our findings suggest that miR-152 could suppress 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation, whereas it could promote 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation by negatively regulating LPL. The findings indicate that miR-152 might have a therapeutic significance for obesity and obesity-related metabolic syndrome.

Effects of black adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) extract on proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into mature adipocytes.

Project description:The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of black adzuki bean (BAB) extract on adipocytes, and to elucidate the cellular mechanisms. In order to examine the proliferation of preadipocytes and differentiating adipocytes, cell viability and DNA content were measured over a period of time. Lipid accumulation during cell differentiation and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of BAB on the transcriptional factors involved, with their anti-adipogenic effects, were also identified. We observed that BAB exhibits anti-adipogenic effects through the inhibition of proliferation, thereby lowering mRNA expression of C/EBPβ and suppressing adipogenesis during the early stage of differentiation. This, in turn, resulted in a reduction of TG accumulation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Treating the cells with BAB not only suppressed the adipogenesis-associated key transcription factors PPARγ and C/EBPα but also significantly decreased the mRNA expression of GLUT4, FABP4, LPL and adiponectin. The expression of lipolytic genes like ATGL and HSL were higher in the treatment group than in the control. Overall, the black adzuki bean extract demonstrated an anti-adipogenic property, which makes it a potential dietary supplement for attenuation of obesity.

Sea buckthorn (<i>Hippophae rhamnoides</i> L.) oil enhances proliferation, adipocytes differentiation and insulin sensitivity in 3T3-L1 cells.

Project description:The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of sea buckthorn oil (SBO) on proliferation, adipogenic differentiation and insulin sensitivity of 3T3-L1 cells. Results showed that SBO increased cell proliferation ability, accompanied by up-regulated proliferating cell nuclear antigen content (p < 0.05) and p38 activity (p < 0.05). SBO also promoted adipogenesis and enhanced adipogenic transcriptional factors expression. Mitochondrial biogenesis related gene expressions were elevated in SBO treated cells (p < 0.05). Of note, SBO also increased glucose uptake and glucose transporter 4 abundance (p < 0.05). Cells treated with SBO exhibited greater phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1 (p < 0.05), phosphorylated-Akt (p < 0.05) and phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p < 0.01) contents. When taken together, these results suggest that SBO promotes 3T3-L1 cells proliferation, adipogenesis and insulin sensitivity.

MicroRNA-125a-5p Mediates 3T3-L1 Preadipocyte Proliferation and Differentiation.

Project description:Excessive accumulation of adipose tissue is a main cause of obesity or overweight, which is significantly involved in increasing the risk of diseases. Recently, numerous studies have proved that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in adipogenesis by negatively regulating gene expression at posttranscriptional levels. In this study, we showed that miR-125a-5p was expressed at lower levels in the adipose tissues of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice than the normal chow (NCW)-fed mice. MiR-125a-5p expression were strongly up-regulated by nearly five-fold, when 3T3-L1 preadipocyte were induced and differentiated into mature adipocytes. Functional analysis indicated that overexpression of miR-125a-5p promoted 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and inhibited its differentiation. By contrast, inhibition of miR-125a-5p repressed 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and accelerated its differentiation. Furthermore, a dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a direct target gene of miR-125a-5p during 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation. Further analysis confirmed that the process of miR-125a-5p inhibiting 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation might be associated with the regulation of fatty acid metabolism related genes. Taken together, our results indicated that miR-125a-5p might promote 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation, whereas inhibiting 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation by negatively regulating STAT3.

Purified Gymnemic Acids from Gymnema inodorum Tea Inhibit 3T3-L1 Cell Differentiation into Adipocytes.

Project description:Gymnema inodorum (GI) is an indigenous medicinal plant and functional food in Thailand that has recently helped to reduce plasma glucose levels in healthy humans. It is renowned for the medicinal properties of gymnemic acid and its ability to suppress glucose absorption. However, the effects of gymnemic acids on adipogenesis that contribute to the accumulation of adipose tissues associated with obesity remain unknown. The present study aimed to determine the effects of gymnemic acids derived from GI tea on adipogenesis. We purified and identified GiA-7 and stephanosides C and B from GI tea that inhibited adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. These compounds also suppressed the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparγ)-dependent genes, indicating that they inhibit lipid accumulation and the early stage of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation. Only GiA-7 induced the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) and pparγ coactivator 1 alpha (Pgc1α), suggesting that GiA-7 induces mitochondrial activity and beige-like adipocytes. This is the first finding of stephanosides C and B in Gymnema inodorum. Our results suggested that GiA-7 and stephanosides C and B from GI tea could help to prevent obesity.
