Project description:3T3-L1 fibroblasts are a commonly used in vitro model for adipogenesis. When induced with hormones, they differentiate into mature fat cells. Here, microarrays were used to study 3T3-L1 adipose differentiation through time. Experiment Overall Design: 3T3-L1 fibroblasts were cultured in vitro and induced to differentiate using standard MDI protocol. At successive time-points, cells were collected, and processed for microarray analysis.
Project description:Snail1 is a transcriptional repressor required for a correct embryonic development. In cancer, Snail1 promotes the epithelial to mesenchymal transition in tumorigenic epithelial cells. In this work, we have analyzed the control of Snail1 in the differentiation of the 3T3-L1 cell line derived from murine embryo cells. The activation by snail of 3T3-L1 induced typical markers of cancer-activated fibroblasts as S100A4 or CD44. We generated 3T3-L1 cells stably over expressing Snail1 (3T3L1/Snail1) and control (3T3-L1/control) cells. We used SILAC quantitative approach to identify and characterize protein alterations induced by Snail1. Cells were fractionated in 5 subcellular fractions. The nuclear fraction of the cells was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE. Gels with forward and reverse experiments were stained with Coomassie Blue and cut into 18 slices prior to reduction, alkylation and digestion with trypsin. Tryptic peptides were scanned and fragmented with a linear ion trap-Orbitrap Velos (ThermoScientific). We identified a total of 3108 proteins, with 2572 quantified proteins, and 565 proteins modulated >1.5-fold by Snail1 overexpression. Among them, we found interesting up-regulated proteins associated to early differentiation of adipogenesis (C/EBPβ) and down-regulated proteins implicated in the final stages of differentiation to adipocytes (Fatty acid-binding protein or Fatty acid synthase). We also observed as down-regulated proteins important mediators of PPARγ pathway. We also observed downregulation of proteins implicated in mTOR, SRC and JAK/STAT pathway. We validated these proteomics data by western blot and qPCR in 3T3-L1 cells and other types of fibroblasts with capable to differentiate to terminal mesenchymal phenotypes, as well as in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). This work provided insight into novel proteins with potential roles in the regulation of differentiation of the 3T3-L1 and MSCs as Nr2F6, ASC-1, Prrx1 or Cbx6. These candidates are down regulated due to the overexpression of Snail1 in 3T3-L1 cells. We next investigated the potential binding of Snail1 to promoter of these candidates. In silico analysis with MatInspector program revealed various putative E-box consensus motifs for Snail1. We performed ChIP and Luciferase assay to validate Snail1 binds to different E-box motifs of our candidates. Additionally, we analyzed the ability to prevent the differentiation to adipocytes of the 3T3-L1 cells using siRNAs. This work provided insight into novel proteins with potential roles in the regulation of differentiation to adipocytes of the 3T3-L1 and mMSC cells as Nr2F6, ASC-1, Prrx1 or Cbx6 controlled by Snail1.

Project description:Given previous works showing that, in the process of adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts, the cells need to be cultured to confluency followed by additional incubation before initiating differentiation, we hypothesized that contact inhibition of proliferation (CIP) is requisite for making the cells prone to the differentiation. We screened upregulated genes in contact-inhibited 3T3-L1 fibroblasts, as well as NIH3T3 fibroblasts that are also sensitive to contact inhibition, by a whole genome microarray analysis. We also screened the genes that undergo rapid downregulation after the initiation of adipogenic differentiation. To investigate the mechanism of contact inhibition of proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 and NIH3T3 fibroblasts, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish proliferating and contact-inhibited cells and cells that undergo adipogenic differentiation. Total RNAs from 80% confluent (3T3-L1_80%, NIH3T3_80%) and overconfluent (3T3-L1_overconfluent, NIH3T3_overconfluent) cells and cells stimulated with the adipogenic differentiation medium (ZenBio) for 2 hours (3T3-L1_adipo diff med 2 hours, NIH3T3_adipo diff med 2 hours) were harvested and subjected to the microarray analysis.
