Long-Term Fructose Intake Increases Adipogenic Potential: Evidence of Direct Effects of Fructose on Adipocyte Precursor Cells.

ABSTRACT: We have previously addressed that fructose rich diet (FRD) intake for three weeks increases the adipogenic potential of stromal vascular fraction cells from the retroperitoneal adipose tissue (RPAT). We have now evaluated the effect of prolonged FRD intake (eight weeks) on metabolic parameters, number of adipocyte precursor cells (APCs) and in vitro adipogenic potential from control (CTR) and FRD adult male rats. Additionally, we have examined the direct fructose effects on the adipogenic capacity of normal APCs. FRD fed rats had increased plasma levels of insulin, triglyceride and leptin, and RPAT mass and adipocyte size. FACS studies showed higher APCs number and adipogenic potential in FRD RPAT pads; data is supported by high mRNA levels of competency markers: PPAR?2 and Zfp423. Complementary in vitro experiments indicate that fructose-exposed normal APCs displayed an overall increased adipogenic capacity. We conclude that the RPAT mass expansion observed in eight week-FRD fed rats depends on combined accelerated adipogenesis and adipocyte hypertrophy, partially due to a direct effect of fructose on APCs.

Project description:Introduction: The molecular regulation mechanism of fat deposition in bovine and its improvement on beef quality are important research directions in the livestock industry. The research of molecular mechanisms that govern the regulation and differentiation of adipocytes may conduct to understand the mechanism of obesity, lipid disorders, and fat deposition. In the recent decade, small-molecule compounds have been widely used in reprogramming and transdifferentiation fields, which can promote the induction efficiency, replace exogenous genes, or even induce cell fate conversion alone. Furthermore, small-molecule compound induction is expected to be a novel approach to generate new cell types from somatic cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: In this study, we established rapid chemically induced platform for transdifferentiation of bovine ear fibroblasts into adipocyte-like cells using a small-molecule cocktail (Repsox, VPA, TTNPB). The chemically induced adipocytes (CiADCs) were characterized by lipid staining, qRT-PCR and WB. Bovine natural adipocytes were used as positive control, and the expression of adipocyte-related marker genes in CiADCs were analyzed. Moreover, RNA-Seq explore the mechanism of RVB in the regulation of Bovine adipocyte transdifferentiation. Results: In this study, the chemically induced adipocytes (CiADCs) could be identified as early as day 6. The CiADCs appeared to be circular and rich of lipid droplets. The adipocyte-specific genes of LPL, PPARγ, IGF1, GPD1, C/EBPδ, ADIPOQ, PCK2, FAS, C/EBPβ, PPARGC1A, C/EBPα, and CFD were detected to be significantly upregulated in both CiADCs and natural adipocytes. Western blot analysis also confirmed the increase C/EBPα and PPARγ protein level in induced adipocytes (CiADCs-6d) treated with RVB. In addition, we also found that the signaling pathways (PPAR signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and ECM-receptor interaction) regulated by the DEGs played a vital role in adipogenesis. Discussion: In the present study, a combination of small-molecule compounds RVB was used to transdifferentiate bovine ear fibroblasts into the chemically-induced adipocyte cells (CiADCs) that have a large number of lipid droplets. Importantly, the small-molecule cocktail significantly shortened the reprogramming turnaround time. The morphology of CiADCs is close to the "ring type" of natural differentiated adipocytes on sixth day. And, the CiADCs showed similar adipocyte-specific gene expression patterns to natural adipocytes. Furthermore, RVB increased protein expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα in the chemically-induced adipocytes (CiADCs-6d). Our findings reveal that the signaling pathways of C/EBPα and PPARγ play pivotal roles in this transdifferentiation process. In addition, we also found that the signaling pathways (PPAR signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and ECM-receptor interaction) regulated by the DEGs played a vital role in adipogenesis. In general, this study provides valuable evidence to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanism of small molecule cocktails in regulating adipogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundRadiation-induced muscle pathology, characterized by muscle atrophy and fibrotic tissue accumulation, is the most common debilitating late effect of therapeutic radiation exposure particularly in juvenile cancer survivors. In healthy muscle, fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are required for muscle maintenance and regeneration, while in muscle pathology FAPs are precursors for exacerbated extracellular matrix deposition. However, the role of FAPs in radiation-induced muscle pathology has not previously been explored.MethodsFour-week-old Male CBA or C57Bl/6J mice received a single dose (16 Gy) of irradiation (IR) to a single hindlimb with the shielded contralateral limb (CLTR) serving as a non-IR control. Mice were sacrificed 3, 7, 14 (acute IR response), and 56 days post-IR (long-term IR response). Changes in skeletal muscle morphology, myofibre composition, muscle niche cellular dynamics, DNA damage, proliferation, mitochondrial respiration, and metabolism and changes in progenitor cell fate where assessed.ResultsJuvenile radiation exposure resulted in smaller myofibre cross-sectional area, particularly in type I and IIA myofibres (P < 0.05) and reduced the proportion of type I myofibres (P < 0.05). Skeletal muscle fibrosis (P < 0.05) was evident at 56 days post-IR. The IR-limb had fewer endothelial cells (P < 0.05) and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) (P < 0.05) at 56 days post-IR. Fewer muscle satellite (stem) cells were detected at 3 and 56 days in the IR-limb (P < 0.05). IR induced FAP senescence (P < 0.05), increased their fibrogenic differentiation (P < 0.01), and promoted their glycolytic metabolism. Further, IR altered the FAP secretome in a manner that impaired muscle satellite (stem) cell differentiation (P < 0.05) and fusion (P < 0.05).ConclusionsOur study suggests that following juvenile radiation exposure, FAPs contribute to long-term skeletal muscle atrophy and fibrosis. These findings provide rationale for investigating FAP-targeted therapies to ameliorate the negative late effects of radiation exposure in skeletal muscle.
