ABSTRACT Obesity has become a serious global public health problem; a deeper understanding of systemic change of chromatin accessibility during human adipogenesis contributes to conquering obesity and its related diseases. Here, we applied the ATAC-seq method to depict a high-quality genome‐wide time-resolved accessible chromatin atlas during adipogenesis of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs). Our data indicated that the chromatin accessibility drastic dynamically reformed during the adipogenesis of hASCs and 8 h may be the critical transition node of adipogenesis chromatin states from commitment phase to determination phase. Moreover, upon adipogenesis, we also found that the chromatin accessibility of regions related to anti-apoptotic, angiogenic and immunoregulatory gradually increased, which is beneficial to maintaining the health of adipose tissue (AT). Finally, the chromatin accessibility changed significantly in intronic regions of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ during adipogenesis, and these regions were rich in transcription factors binding motifs that were exposed for further regulation. Overall, we systematically analysed the complex change of chromatin accessibility occurring in the early stage of adipogenesis and deepened our understanding of human adipogenesis. Furthermore, we also provided a good reference data resource of genome‐wide chromatin accessibility for future studies on human adipogenesis.

ABSTRACT The mechanism of insulin signaling on browning of white preadipocytes remains unclear. Human and mouse primary subcutaneous white preadipocytes (hsASCs and WT lean and obese msASCs, respectively) were induced to transdifferentiate into beige adipocytes under conditions of intact or blocked insulin signaling, respectively. Level of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) after induction of beige adipocytes under conditions of normal insulin signaling, phosphorylated protein kinase B (pAKT), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α), zinc-fifinger transcriptional factor PRD1-BF1-RIZ1 homologous domain-containing protein 16 (PRDM16), uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) were significantly increased. Conversely, when insulin signaling is incompletely inhibited, the expression of the thermogenic and adipogenic factors is significantly reduced, with obvious impairment of adipogenesis. However, phosphorylation level of adenosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and expression level of sirtuin type 1 (SIRT1) had increased. These white preadipocytes from different donors showed similar dynamic change in morphology and molecular levels during the browning. The present data indicate that insulin signaling plays a important role in regulation of browning of hsASCs and msASCs through PI3K-AKT-UCP1 signaling pathway. The insulin-AMPK-SIRT1 pathway was also involved in the adipocytes browning, while its effect is limited.

ABSTRACT Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective treatment for obesity. Adipose tissue, liver tissue and skeletal muscle are important metabolic tissues. This study investigated hub genes and their association with immune infiltration in these metabolic tissues of obese patients after BS by bioinformatic analysis with Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and a protein–protein interaction network was constructed to identify hub genes. As a result, 121 common DEGs were identified and mainly enriched in cytokine–cytokine receptor interactions, chemokine signaling pathway, neutrophil activation and immune responses. Immune cell infiltration analysis showed that the abundance of M1 macrophages was significantly lower in adipose and liver tissue after BS (p<0.05). Ten hub genes (TYROBP, TLR8, FGR, NCF2, HCK, CCL2, LAPTM5, MNDA and S100A9) that were all downregulated after BS were also associated with immune cells. Consistently, results in the validated dataset showed that the expression levels of these hub genes were increased in obese patients and mice, and decreased after BS. In conclusion, this study analysed the potential immune and inflammatory mechanisms of BS in three key metabolic tissues of obese patients, and revealed hub genes associated with immune cell infiltration, thus providing potential targets for obesity treatment.

ABSTRACT Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is amongst the major contributors to cancer-related deaths on a global scale. Adipocytokines and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are indispensable participants in cancer. We performed a pan-cancer analysis of the mRNA expression, single nucleotide variation, copy number variation, and prognostic value of adipocytokines. LUAD samples were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. Simultaneously, train, internal and external cohorts were grouped. After a stepwise screening of optimized genes through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis, random forest algorithm,, and Cox regression analysis, an adipocytokine-related prognostic signature (ARPS) with superior performance compared with four additional well-established signatures for survival prediction was constructed. After determination of risk levels, the discrepancy of immune microenvironment, immune checkpoint gene expression, immune subtypes, and immune response in low- and high-risk cohorts were explored through multiple bioinformatics methods. Abnormal pathways underlying high- and low-risk subgroups were identified through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Immune-and metabolism-related pathways that were correlated with risk score were selected through single sample GSEA. Finally, a nomogram with satisfied predictive survival probability was plotted. In summary, this study offers meaningful information for clinical treatment and scientific investigation.
肺腺癌(LUAD)是全球范围内导致癌症相关死亡的主要原因之一。脂肪细胞因子和长链非编码rna (lncRNAs)是癌症发生过程中不可或缺的参与者。我们对脂肪细胞因子的mRNA表达、单核苷酸变异、拷贝数变异和预后价值进行了泛癌分析。LUAD样本来自Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)和the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)数据库。同时,对培训、内部和外部队列进行分组。通过最小绝对收缩和选择算子回归分析、随机森林算法和Cox回归分析逐步筛选优化基因后,构建了一个与其他四个已建立的生存预测特征相比性能优越的脂肪细胞因子相关预后特征(ARPS)。在确定风险水平后,通过多种生物信息学方法探讨低、高危人群免疫微环境、免疫检查点基因表达、免疫亚型和免疫应答的差异。通过基因集富集分析(GSEA)确定了高风险和低风险亚组的异常途径。通过单样本GSEA选择与风险评分相关的免疫和代谢相关途径。最后,绘制具有满意预测生存概率的nomogram。本研究为临床治疗和科学研究提供了有意义的信息。

ABSTRACT Obesity is a severe disease worldwide. Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) may be related to metabolic abnormalities in obese individuals, but the mechanism is still unclear. We aimed to investigate whether nuclear receptors NR1D1 and ULK1 influence obesity by affecting mitophagy. In vitro model was established by inducing 3T3-L1 cells differentiation. MTT was detected cell viability. ELISA was tested triglyceride (TG). Oil red O staining was performed to detect lipid droplets. Flow cytometry was measured mtROS. ChIP and Dual-luciferase reporter assay were verified NR1D1 bind to ULK1. LC3 level was detected by IF. After differentiation medium treatment, cell viability was decreased, TG content and lipid droplets were increased Moreover, NR1D1 expression was reduced in Model group. NR1D1 overexpression was increased cell viability, reduced TG content and lipid droplets. Subsequently, NR1D1 inhibited TOM20 and mtROS, whereas, Parkin and PINK1 were accelerated. NR1D1 overexpression facilitated LC3 expression, whereas ULK1 knockdown was reversed the effect of NR1D1 overexpression. Liensinine also reversed the effect of NR1D1 overexpression, that is, cell viability was reduced, mtROS, TG content and lipid droplets were increased. The combination of nuclear receptor NR1D1 and ULK1 promoted mitophagy in adipocytes to alleviate obesity, which provided new target and strategy for obesity treatment.

ABSTRACT We established a functional adipose organoid model system for human adipose stem/progenitor cells (ASCs) isolated from white adipose tissue (WAT). ASCs were forced to self-aggregate by a hanging-drop technique. Afterwards, spheroids were transferred into agar-coated cell culture dishes to avoid plastic-adherence and dis-aggregation. Adipocyte differentiation was induced by an adipogenic hormone cocktail. Morphometric analysis revealed a significant increase in organoid size in the course of adipogenesis until d 18. Whole mount staining of organoids using specific lipophilic dyes showed large multi- and unilocular fat deposits in differentiated cells indicating highly efficient differentiation of ASCs into mature adipocytes. Moreover, we found a strong induction of the expression of key adipogenesis and adipocyte markers (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) β, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ, fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), adiponectin) during adipose organoid formation. Secreted adiponectin was detected in the cell culture supernatant, underscoring the physiological relevance of mature adipocytes in the organoid model. Moreover, colony formation assays of collagenase-digested organoids revealed the maintenance of a significant fraction of ASCs within newly formed organoids. In conclusion, we provide a reliable and highly efficient WAT organoid model, which enables accurate analysis of cellular and molecular markers of adipogenic differentiation and adipocyte physiology.

ABSTRACT Lipodystrophy is a major disturbance in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). Several systemic alterations in PLWH are reminiscent of those that occur in ageing. It is unknown whether the lipodystrophy in PLWH is the consequence of accelerated ageing in adipose tissue. We compared systemic and adipose tissue disturbances in PLWH with those in healthy elderly individuals (~80 y old). We observed similarly enhanced expression of inflammation-related genes and decreased autophagy in adipose tissues from elderly individuals and PLWH. Indications of repressed adipogenesis and mitochondrial dysfunction were found specifically in PLWH, whereas reduced telomere length and signs of senesce were specific to elderly individuals. We conclude that ageing of adipose tissue accounts only partially for the alterations in adipose tissues of PLWH.

ABSTRACT Middle Eastern immigrants are at high-risk for insulin resistance. Fatty acid composition (FAC) plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance but has not been investigated in people of Middle Eastern ancestry. Here, the aim was to assess the FAC in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT) in healthy Iraqi- and Swedish-born men using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method.This case-control study included 23 Iraqi- and 15 Swedish-born middle-aged men, without cardiometabolic disease. Using multi-echo MRI of the abdomen, the fractions of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (fSFA, fMUFA, and fPUFA) were estimated in VAT and SAT. SAT was further analyzed in deep and superficial compartments (dSAT and sSAT). In all depots, fPUFA was significantly higher and fSFA significantly lower in Iraqi men, independently of age and BMI. In both Iraqi- and Swedish-born men, higher fPUFA and lower fMUFA were found in sSAT vs. dSAT. Among Iraqi men only, higher fPUFA and lower fMUFA were found in SAT vs. VAT.Iraqi-born men presented a more favorable abdominal FAC compared to Swedish-born men. This MRI method also revealed different FACs in different abdominal depots. Our results may reflect a beneficial FAC in Middle Eastern immigrants.

This MRI method also revealed different FACs in different abdominal depots. Our results may reflect a beneficial FAC in Middle Eastern immigrants.","PeriodicalId":7226,"journal":{"name":"Adipocyte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43917480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
ABSTRACT Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common histological type of renal cancer and has the highest mortality. Several studies have been conducted on the relationship between adipose tissue and ccRCC prognosis, however, the results have been inconsistent to date. The current study aimed at establishing a link between abdominal fat composition and short-term prognosis in patients with ccRCC after T-stage stratification. We retrospectively analysed 250 patients with pathologically confirmed ccRCC (173 low T-stage and 77 high T-stage) in our hospital. The computed tomography (CT) images were evaluated using ImageJ. Then, subcutaneous and visceral fat areas (SFA and VFA), total fat areas (TFA) and the relative VFA (rVFA) were measured and computed. Meanwhile, biochemical indices of blood serum were analysed. The results showed that rVFA in low T-stage cohort who had a history of short-term postoperative complications were significantly lower than those who did not. No such association was observed in the high T-stage cohort. Further investigation revealed that the correlations between biochemical indexes and fat area-related variables varied across T-stage groups. As a result, rVFA is a reliable independent predictor of short-term prognosis in patients with low T-stage ccRCC but not in patients with high T-stage ccRCC.

Stem cells could form the basis of a novel, autologous treatment for chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers. Fat grafts contain adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) but low survival of cells within the grafts is a major limitation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may increase graft survival. This review examines the histology from animal studies on fat grafting, ADSC and PRP in wound healing. A literature review of major electronic databases was undertaken, and narrative synthesis performed. Data from 30 animal studies were included. ADSC increase angiogenesis over 14 days and often clinically accelerated wound healing. ADSC had a greater effect in animals with impaired wound healing (e.g. diabetes). Activated PRP increased viability of fat grafts. Despite the high number of studies, the quality is variable which weakens the evidence. It does suggest there is a benefit of ADSC, particularly in impaired wound healing. High-quality evidence in humans is required, to establish its clinical usefulness.
