Project description:Background: Obesity is characterized as a disease that directly affects the whole-body metabolism and is associated with excess fat mass and several related comorbidities. Dynamics of the adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia play an important role in health and disease, especially in obesity. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASC) represent an important source for understanding the entire adipogenic differentiation process. However, little is known about the triggering step of adipogenesis in hASC. Here, we performed a proteogenomic approach for understanding the protein abundance alterations expression changes during the initiation of the adipogenic differentiation process. Methods: hASC were isolated from adipose tissue from three donors, characterized and expanded. Cells were cultured for 24 hours in adipogenic differentiation medium followed to protein extraction. We used shotgun proteomics to compare the proteomic profile of 24h-adipogenic differentiated and undifferentiated hASC. Besides, we used our previously next-generation sequencing data (RNA-seq) from the total and polysomal mRNA fractions of hASC to study post-transcriptional regulation during the initial steps of adipogenesis. Results: We identified a total of 3,.420 proteins out of and 48,.336 peptides, being 92 exclusively identified proteins in the undifferentiated hASC and 53 exclusive proteins in 24h-differentiated cells. Using a stringent criterion, we identified 33 differentially abundant proteins when compare 24h-differentiated versus undifferentiated hASC (14 upregulated and 19 downregulated, respectively). Among the upregulated proteins, we shortlist identified several adipogenic-related proteins. Combined analysis of the proteome and the transcriptome allowed the identification of positive correlation coefficients between proteins and mRNAs. Conclusions: These results demonstrate a specific proteome profile related to adipogenesis at the very beginning (24h) of the differentiation process in hASC, which represents an important piece for a better understanding of human adipogenesis and obesity. In addition, the adipogenic differentiation is fine-tuning regulated at transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational levels.
Project description:We have already demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells from patients with ankylosing spondylitis (ASMSCs) exhibited greater adipogenic differentiation potential than those from healthy donors (HDMSCs). Here, we further investigated the expression profile of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA, aiming to explore the underlying mechanism of abnormal adipogenic differentiation in ASMSCs.
Project description:The main goal of the present work was to use an in vitro adipogenic-differentiation mode, with mesenchymal stem-cells (MSC) from human bone-marrow, to study whole-transcriptomic differential gene-expression when such cells are induced to differentiate into adipocytes in absence or presence of oleuropein. See details below. This work is complementary to a previously published one (Casado-Daz et al, 2016): Casado-DÃaz, A., Anter, J., Müller, S., Winter, P., Quesada-Gómez, J. M. and Dorado, G. (2016): Transcriptomic analyses of adipocyte differentiation from human mesenchymal stromal-cells (MSC). Journal of Cellular Physiology 9999: 1-14. DOI: 10.1002/jcp.25472. It corresponds to EMBL-EBI ArrayExpress accession E-MTAB-4884.
Project description:Adipogenesis involves the regulation of hundreds of genes by several well-studied proteins, but the role of long, noncoding RNAs in this process has not been defined. We track the regulation of hundreds of lncRNAs during adipocyte differentiation, and find several that are essential for this process. We extractedbrown and white primary adipocytes and pre-adipocytes and profiled lncRNA expresssion via mRNA-Seq. We also profiled cultured, differentiated adipocytes to verify that we could recapitulate the adipocyte expression profile in preparation for a loss-of-function screen for essential adipogenic lincRNAs.
Project description:Physical activity improves overall health and counteracts metabolic pathologies. Adipose tissue and bone are important key targets of exercise; the prevalence of diseases associated with suboptimal physical activity levels has increased in recent times as a result of lifestyle changes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation in either osteogenic or adipogenic lineage is regulated by many factors. Particularly, the expression of master genes such as RUNX2 and PPARγ2 is essential for MSC commitment to osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation, respectively. Besides various positive effects on health, some authors have reported stressful outcomes as a consequence of endurance in physical activity. We looked for further clues about MSCs differentiation and serum proteins modulation studying the effects of half marathon in runners by means of gene expression analyses and a proteomic approach. Our results demonstrated an increase in osteogenic commitment and a reduction in adipogenic commitment of MSCs. In addition, for the first time we have analyzed the proteomic profile changes in runners after half-marathon activity in order to survey the related systemic adjustments. Interestingly, proteomic data showed the activation of both inflammatory response and detoxification process. Moreover, the involvement of pathways associated to immune response, lipid transport and coagulation, was elicited. Notably, positive and negative effects may be strictly linked.
Project description:Pathological processes like osteoporosis or steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the hip are accompanied by increased bone marrow adipogenesis. Such disorder of adipogenic/osteogenic differentiation, which affects also bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) contributes to bone loss during aging. Therefore, we investigated the effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from human (h)BMSCs during different stages of osteogenic differentiation on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity of naïve hBMSCs.
