The Effect Of Mechanical Forces On Adipogenic DifferentiationSharafi, Parisa 01 January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Numerous intra and extra cellular factors take role in differentiation of cell towards a given lineage. These factors have crucial role in cell-cell and cell-environment interactions. In this study, the aim is to investigate the effect of mechanical forces on the adipogenic differentiation of preadipocytes and mesenchymal stem cells in an in vitro model.
Human preadipocytes and mesenchymal stem cells were embedded in 2 % agarose discs. According to the stress-relaxation test results it was observed that initial mechanical properties of agarose-mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) discs did not change compared to acellular agarose whereas those of preadipocytes decreased significantly.
The discs with cells were exposed to compression under different weights (1.4 ± / 0.2 g, 7.5 ± / 0.2 g, and 14.6 ± / 0.3 g.) continuously in differentiation medium for 21 days. The control discs were treated with differentiation medium without any compressive weight on top of them. After 21 days, total ribonucleic acids (RNA) have been isolated. Adipogenic differentiation was investigated via reverse transcription coupled quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The expression of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors (PPAR-gamma), CCAAT-enhancer binding protein (C/EBP-Beta), leptin, adiponectin, adipophilin and human stearoyl-CoA desaturase (hSCD) have been assessed as adipogenic markers. Differentiation to adipocytes has been further investigated by histochemical Sudan IV staining and immunochemistry and compared to control group.
Decrease in the expression of adipogenic factors, size and number of lipid droplets were observed for both MSCs and preadipocytes subjected to compression in agarose discs. The decreases were correlated with the level of mechanical stress. The highest depletion of gene expression was observed in leptin and C/EBP& / #61538 / . From our results, it was shown for the first time that mechanical stress impaired the adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and preadipocytes in agarose discs. However, the differentiation pathways should be further investigated.

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Trichostatin A (tsa) And Sulforaphane (sfn) Modulate Vitamin D Responsive Cyp24 Gene Expression in 3t3-l1 PreadipocytesAhn, Eunjee 01 January 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Vitamin D plays an important role in preserving healthy bones, and has additional roles in the body, including modulation of cell growth, differentiation, neuromuscular and immune function, and anti-inflammatory function. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and regulates transcription of vitamin D-dependent target genes, such as those for key proteins involved in calcium and phosphorus absorption and bone development. Histone acetylation weakens the association of histones with DNA, and increases the accessibility of transcriptional regulatory proteins to chromatin templates, thereby increasing transcriptional activity of gene expression. Histone deacetylases remove the acetyl groups and condense chromatin structure, thereby preventing transcription. TSA is a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor and can significantly enhance gene expression. Bioactive food component, sulforaphane (SFN) is found in cruciferous vegetables and is known to be a histone deacetylase inhibitor, leading to transcriptional activation of gene expression. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the bioactive food components modulate vitamin D action in adipocytes. To investigate the effects of TSA and SFN on vitamin D response, 3T3L1 mouse preadipocytes were treated with the combination of various concentrations of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D, TSA, and SFN. Upon harvesting cells, the amounts of 24-hydroxylase mRNA, marker of vitamin D response, were measured by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis. The results showed that the cells treated with 1μM TSA increased 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D-induced CYP24 mRNA level nearly 3.5-fold (p < 0.05) at 1nM 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D and nearly 2.5-fold (p < 0.05) in 10 nM 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D, and the cells treated with 5μM SFN increased 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D-induced CYP24 mRNA level nearly 1.4-fold at 1nM 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D and nearly 1.2-fold at 10 nM 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D.

Amilóide sérica A (SAA): produção da proteína recombinante humana SAA1 e SAA4 e sua expressão nativa em células do tecido adiposo submetidas à hipóxia / Serum amyloid A (SAA): production of recombinant human protein SAA1 and SAA4 and its native expression on adipose tissue cells submitted to hypoxiaOliveira, Edson Mendes de 01 March 2011 (has links)
Visando novos estudos com a proteína amilóide sérica A (SAA), propusemos a produção de seu recombinante humano em Escherichia coli, mais especificamente, a isoforma encontrada na fase aguda (A-SAA1) e da constitutivamente expressa (C-SAA4). Realizamos a expressão, identificação e purificação das proteínas recombinantes. Concomitantemente, também avaliamos o efeito da hipóxia na expressão e produção da proteína SAA nativa em linhagens de pré-adipócitos murinos 3T3-L1, não diferenciados e diferenciados e adipócitos humanos. Aparentemente quanto maior o grau de diferenciação celular, maior a expressão e produção da proteína. Para os adipócitos humanos, o perfil de expressão de mRNA da SAA mostra que SAA1>SAA2>SAA4 nas relações 500:150:1. Na hipóxia, há um aumento na expressão de SAA, entretanto não associamos esta expressão a um aumento da concentração da proteína. A importância do reconhecimento de que SAA pode ser umas das proteínas induzidas pela hipóxia em adipócitos é discutida em relação ao seu papel pró-inflamatório. / In order to provide more complex studies with the protein serum amyloid A (SAA), this study proposed the production of its human recombinant in bacteria (Escherichia coli), more specifically, the synthesis of the main isoform found in the acute phase (A-SAA1) and the constitutively expressed (C-SAA4). The expression, identification and purification of the recombinants proteins was performed. Concurrently, we also did a study evaluating the effect of hypoxia in the expression and protein production of native SAA in undifferentiated and differentiated murine preadipocytes 3T3-L1 and humans adipocytes. Apparently, the protein expression and production increases with the cell differentiation degree. For human adipocytes, we demonstrated the mRNA expression profile of SAA, in which SAA1 > SAA2 > SAA4 (500:150:1). In hypoxia, there is an increased expression of SAA, but we could not link it to an increase of protein concentration. The importance of recognizing that SAA may be one of the proteins induced by hypoxia in adipocytes is discussed in relation to the proinflammatory role of this protein.

Rôle du tissu adipeux dans les infections respiratoires par le virus Influenza ou la bactérie streptococcus pneumoniae / Role of adipose tissue in respiratory infections with Influenza virus or bacteria streptococcus pneumoniaeAyari, Asma 28 June 2018 (has links)
Longtemps décrit comme un simple tissu de réserve énergétique, le tissu adipeux blanc est, depuis l’identification de la leptine en 1994, considéré comme un véritable organe endocrine. En effet, ce tissu secrète de nombreuses hormones et cytokines agissant de manière paracrine et endocrine pour contrôler le métabolisme énergétique. Par ailleurs, en plus des préadipocytes et des adipocytes, le tissu adipeux blanc contient également des cellules immunes innées et adaptatives ; lui conférant ainsi un rôle important dans le développement et le contrôle de l’immunité. Cependant, le rôle joué par le tissu adipeux blanc dans les infections - notamment pulmonaires - reste encore peu étudié. C’est dans ce cadre général que s’est inscrit ce travail de Thèse. La susceptibilité accrue des individus obèses (expansion du tissu adipeux blanc) à l’infection par le virus de la grippe (influenza) est largement étayée dans la littérature. Nous avons évalué l’impact de l’infection par le virus influenza sur le tissu adipeux blanc, chez des souris minces et des souris obèses. Nos résultats montrent que, de manière inattendue, le virus est détecté dans les tissus adipeux, sous-cutané (inguinal) et viscéral (périgonadique), de souris infectées par voie intra-nasale (détection du génome viral par RT-qPCR). La présence de virus dans le tissu adipeux est associée à l’augmentation de la sécrétion de cytokines pro- et anti-inflammatoires, à la diminution de l’expression de gènes impliqués dans la lipolyse et la lipogénèse, et à l’augmentation de l’expression des gènes impliqués dans l’induction d’une réponse immune anti-virale. De manière intéressante, l’infection par le virus influenza est associée au brunissement du tissu adipeux sous-cutané chez les souris minces. Chez les souris obèses, l’infection par le virus de la grippe n’induit pas l’effet dépôt spécifique observé chez la souris mince et ne montre pas de brûnissement au niveau du tissu adipeux sous-cutané 7 jours p.i. In vitro, nous montrons que le virus influenza peut infecter les préadipocytes et les adipocytes (lignée murine et cellules primaires humaines). Cependant, alors que le virus effectue la totalité de son cycle dans l’adipocyte, le préadipocyte libère très peu, voire pas, de nouveaux virions infectieux (PCR, transcriptomique, technique de plages de lyse, microscopie confocale et électronique). Ainsi nos résultats, très originaux, identifient le tissu adipeux blanc comme un nouveau tissu cible de l’infection par le virus de la grippe, in vivo. Au sein de ce tissu, les préadipocytes et les adipocytes sont potentiellement infectés par le virus, comme le montrent nos données in vitro, les adipocytes seuls permettant la production de nouvelles particules infectieuses.Contrairement à l’infection grippale, les données épidémiologiques et/ou expérimentales concernant la susceptibilité des obèses à l’infection par la bactérie Streptococcus pneumoniae sont contradictoires, du fait de l’utilisation de différents modèles d’obésité d’origine génétique et de sérotypes de pneumocoques. Dans ce projet, nous avons utilisé un modèle d’obésité d’origine nutritionnelle ; le modèle de souris nourries par un régime enrichi en lipides. Nous montrons que les souris obèses infectées (sérotype Sp1) développent un syndrome de type méningite, mortel, tandis que les souris minces contrôlent l’infection. Si les réponses pulmonaires à l’infection sont comparables entre les souris minces et obèses (dénombrement des colonies bactériennes, histologie, PCR, ELISA, cytométrie en flux), le nombre de bactéries dans le cerveau est significativement plus élevé chez les souris obèses, associé à une altération de la perméabilité de la barrière hématoencéphalique [...] / Since the identification of leptin in 1994, the white adipose tissue (WAT) is no longer considered to solely be an inert tissue storing fat. As an endocrine organ, the adipose tissue synthesizes and secretes several hormones and cytokines involved in the control of whole-body metabolism. In addition, besides preadipocytes and adipocytes, WAT also contains innate and adaptive immune cells; thereby contributing to the development and control of immunity. However, the role played by the adipose tissue during infections - notably during pulmonary infections, such as those resulting from influenza virus or Streptococcus pneumoniae infections - has barely been investigated. This defines the general scope of this work. Epidemiological and experimental data convincingly report that obese individuals are more susceptible to influenza infection. During this project, we therefore questioned whether influenza infection may impact on adipose tissues, both subcutaneous (inguinal, SCAT) and visceral (perigonadal, EWAT) depots, in lean and high-fat diet-induced obese mice. We unexpectedly showed that influenza virus is detected in SCAT and EWAT (quantification of the viral genome by RtqPCR) and that this was associated with drastic changes in the tissue such as: increased secretion of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, decreased expression of genes involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis, as well as increased expression of genes related to the induction of anti-viral immunity. Interestingly enough, influenza infection was associated with the development of brown-like adipocytes in the SCAT, only in lean animals. Moreover, we demonstrated in vitro that preadipocytes and adipocytes (murine cell-line and human primary cells) are permissive to infection, yet with different outcomes. Indeed, only adipocytes allowed the release of new infectious particles (RtqPCR, transcriptomics, quantification of infectious particules on MDCK cells, confocal and transmission electron microscopy). Altogether, our findings revealed, for the first time, that the white adipose tissue, an organ at the crossroads of metabolism and immunity, is deeply affected by influenza infection and might thus be undervalued in influenza pathophysiology.In opposite to influenza infection, the impact of obesity on the outcome of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.) infection remains uncertain, due to the different models (genetically-based obesity, and bacterial strains) used. During this work, we investigated S. pneumoniae (Sp1 strain, sublethal dose) infection in lean and high-fat diet-induced obese mice. We showed that obese mice died from sublethal S. pneumoniae infection, compared to lean animals. The increased mortality induced by infection did not result from impaired pulmonary response but rather from the development of a meningitis-like syndrom likely resulting from an increased bacterial dissemination through the bloodbrain barrier into the brain. We propose that the model of dietary obesity induced by consumption of fat-enriched diet, may be envisaged as a novel and valuable experimental model of memingitis to study Streptococcus pneumoniae travel through the blood-brain barrier and the subsequent immune consequences.

Význam endokrinní funkce tukové tkáně při vzniku syndromu inzulínové rezistence / The importance of endocrinefunction of adipose tissue in the development of insulin resistance syndromeKaválková, Petra January 2016 (has links)
(AJ) Adipose tissue produces numerous adipokines, pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines and hormones which may influence the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and other comorbidities of the metabolic syndrome. The ability of adipose tissue to store lipids and thus protect other organs and tissues from ectopic lipid accumulation and development of insulin resistance (IR) is largely dependent on the adipogenic potential of preadipocytes. The amount and function of these cells may be the key factor in creating "healthy" adipose tissue or on the contrary "unhealthy" adipose tissue eventually leading to metabolic derangements. The regulation of the amount of body fat by converting preadipocytes into mature adipocytes may be crucial in the prevention and treatment of obesity and its comorbidities. One of the reasons for development of insulin resistance can be the inhibition of the differentiation process of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes with consequent ectopic lipid accumulation caused by the secretion of preadipocyte factor - 1 (Pref - 1). Pref - 1 has been discovered recently as a protein produced by preadipocytes but not by mature adipocytes. Pref - 1 is a member of the protein family sharing similarity with epidermal growth factors which regulate the differentiation of...
