Integrin αV Mediates the Effects of Irisin on Human Mature Adipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Introdution and Aims: The myokine irisin is critical to modulating adipocytes thermogenesis and influence whole-body metabolism. However, whether there is difference in the effects of irisin on adipocytes derived from different depots remains unknown, and the receptor of irisin on adipocytes is still unclear. In this study, we determine the browning effect of irisin on adipocytes of subcutaneous and visceral human adipose tissue and explore the possibility that integrin αV was the receptor of irisin on human adipocytes.

Methods

Human adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from human subcutaneous and visceral white adipose tissues and induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes, and the expression of UCP1 and thermogenic genes in mature adipocytes were examined with or without irisin treatment and compared between groups of different adiposity and different spots. Immunoprecipitation analysis was used to detect the interaction between irisin and integrin αV on adipocytes, and the protein expression of integrin αV in adipocytes was also compared between groups of different adiposity and anatomic position.

Results

Irisin treatment could increase the expression level of beige adipocyte marker protein UCP1 and specific thermogenic genes in mature adipocytes derived from subcutaneous white adipose tissue but not in visceral adipose tissue. The results of immunoprecipitation showed that irisin could be attached to integrin αV on mature adipocytes, and there was no significant difference in the gene and protein expression of integrin αV in adipocytes, either derived from subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue, or derived from obese and normal-weight individuals.

Conclusion

The results of the present study indicated that irisin contributed to the transformation of mature white adipocytes to beige adipocytes in human subcutaneous adipose tissue but not in visceral adipose tissue. Integrin αV may mediate the browning effects of irisin on human mature adipocytes, which could provide the potential therapeutic targets for obesity and metabolic syndrome by promoting human brown adipose tissue activity.

Project description:BackgroundThe differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into osteoblasts (OBs) is a prerequisite for bone formation. However, little is known about the definitive surface markers for OBs during osteogenesis.MethodsTo study the surface markers on OBs, we generated and used monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against surface molecules on transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-treated cancer cells. The generated MAbs were further selected toward expression changes on hMSCs cultured with TGF-β1/bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) or osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM) by flow cytometry. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry were performed to identify target antigens of selected MAbs. Expression changes of the target antigens were evaluated in hMSCs, human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs), and human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) during osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and flow cytometry. hMSCs were also sorted by the MAbs using magnetic-activated cell sorting system, and osteogenic potential of sorted cells was evaluated via Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining and qPCR.ResultsThe binding reactivity of MR14-E5, one of the MAbs, was downregulated in hMSCs with ODM while the binding reactivity of ER7-A7, ER7-A8, and MR1-B1 MAbs was upregulated. Mass spectrometry and overexpression identified that MR14-E5, ER7-A7/ER7-A8, and MR1-B1 recognized integrin α2, α3, and αV, respectively. Upon osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, the expression of integrin α2 was drastically downregulated, but the expression of integrin α3 and αV was upregulated in accordance with upregulation of osteogenic markers. Expression of integrin α3 and αV was also upregulated in hPDLCs and hDPCs during osteogenic differentiation. Cell sorting showed that integrin αV-high hMSCs have a greater osteogenic potential than integrin αV-low hMSCs upon the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Cell sorting further revealed that the surface expression of integrin αV is more dramatically induced even in integrin αV-low hMSCs.ConclusionThese findings suggest that integrin α3 and αV induction is a good indicator of OB differentiation. These findings also shed insight into the expression dynamics of integrins upon osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and provide the reason why different integrin ligands are required for OB differentiation of hMSCs.
