Project description:Differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into adipocytes was studied. Control (undifferentiated) stem cells were compared to induced (3 days of induction) cells. In addition, two RNA fractions are studied: RNA associated to polysomes and total RNA.
Project description:The aim of this research was to determine the impact of heat stress on cell differentiation in an equine stem cell model through the outcome of heat stress on the proteome. Proteomic analysis was performed using mass spectrometry to compare relative protein abundances among three cell types, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, and adipocytes, cultured at two temperatures, 37°C and 42°C.
Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes using a specific induction cocktail. Transcriptional profiles were obtained at the specified timepoints after induction of differentiation.
Project description:Mechanisms involved in adipose tissue expansion is of great interest in development of obesity and associated metabolic complications. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation in to adipocytes provides a model system to understand various gene expression pattern involved at different stages of adipogenesis. In this project we used bulk RNASeq to identify the genes that are selectively expressed at 3 different time points of adipocyte differentaition from MSCs.
Project description:The utility of human pluripotent stem cells as a tool for understanding disease and as a renewable source of cells for transplantation therapies is dependent on efficient differentiation protocols that convert these cells into relevant adult cell types. Here we report the robust and efficient differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into adipocytes. We found that inducible expression of PPARG2 in pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells programmed their development towards an adipocyte cell fate. Using this approach, multiple human pluripotent cell lines were differentiated into adipocytes with efficiencies of 85% to 90%. These pluripotent stem cell-derived adipocytes retained their identity independent of transgene expression, could be maintained in culture for several weeks, expressed mature markers, and exhibited mature functional properties such as lipid catabolism in response to a beta-adrenergic stimulus. Global transcriptional and lipid metabolomic analyses further confirmed the identity and maturity of these pluripotent stem cell-derived adipocytes. Mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) derived from human embryonic stem cells hESCs and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) along with adipose-derived stromal vascular cells (ADSVCs) were subjected to induction of PPAR2 and compared to primary fat samples. Overall 2 ADSVC (ADSVC 24 nd 49) lines, 1 hESC (HUES9) line and 1 iPSC (BJRiPS) line were differentiated into MPCs, PPAR2 programmed, and compared to untreated MPCs and primary fat samples from 2 individuals. Each condition is either represented in duplicate or triplicate and there are two universal reference spots to aid in slide-dependant batch effects (24 samples total). Supplementary file(s): GeneSymbol-collapsed data represent the final normalized data used for analyses in the manuscript.

Each condition is either represented in duplicate or triplicate on affymetrix HuGene-1_0-st arrays. MPCs derived from the hESC lines HUES2 and HUES8, ADSVCs, and BJRiPS were also run on a separate platform (HG-U133_Plus_2) with more GEO presence to facilitate analysis (34 samples, two platforms total).

Project description:Snail effects on adipogenesis was proposed to be mediated, among others, by a lack of response to TGFβ (Batlle et al., 2012) or by an apparent inhibition of PPARγ and C/EBPα expression (Lee et al., 2013). Similar results were obtained in preventing the differentiation of bone marrow-derived murine mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC) to osteoblasts or adipocytes (Batlle et al, 2012). Still, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of Snail on MSCs differentiation and the blocking of adipogenesis were far from being established. We carried out an in-depth quantitative proteomic analysis of Snail-transfected cells to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlled by Snail. We used isobaric labeling with tandem mass tags (TMT) (Dayon and Sanchez, 2012) for mMSCs analysis.
