The molecular mechanisms linking obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) to obesity and the development of metabolic diseases are still poorly understood. The role of hypoxia (a characteristic feature of OSA) in excessive fat accumulation has been proposed. The present study investigated the possible effects of hypoxia (4% oxygen) on de novo lipogenesis by tracking the major carbon sources in differentiating 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Gas-permeable cultuware was employed to cultivate 3T3-L1 adipocytes in hypoxia (4%) for 7 or 14 days of differentiation. We investigated the contribution of glutamine, glucose or acetate using 13C or 14C labelled carbons to the newly synthesized lipid pool, changes in intracellular lipid content after inhibiting citrate- or acetate-dependent pathways and gene expression of involved key enzymes. The results demonstrate that, in differentiating adipocytes, hypoxia decreased the synthesis of lipids from glucose (44.1 ± 8.8 to 27.5 ± 3.0 pmol/mg of protein, p < 0.01) and partially decreased the contribution of glutamine metabolized through the reverse tricarboxylic acid cycle (4.6% ± 0.2-4.2% ± 0.1%, p < 0.01). Conversely, the contribution of acetate, a citrate- and mitochondria-independent source of carbons, increased upon hypoxia (356.5 ± 71.4 to 649.8 ± 117.5 pmol/mg of protein, p < 0.01). Further, inhibiting the citrate- or acetate-dependent pathways decreased the intracellular lipid content by 58% and 73%, respectively (p < 0.01) showing the importance of de novo lipogenesis in hypoxia-exposed adipocytes. Altogether, hypoxia modified the utilization of carbon sources, leading to alterations in de novo lipogenesis in differentiating adipocytes and increased intracellular lipid content.

Lipodystrofické syndromy jsou heterogenní skupinou vzácných onemocnění spojených se ztrátou podkožní tukové tkáně různého rozsahu, která vede k závažným metabolickým komplikacím – hypertriglyceridemii, steatóze jater a zejména inzulinové rezistenci. Tyto komplikace mohou zkracovat život. V důsledku chybění tukové tkáně dochází k deficitu adipokinů, zejména leptinu. V léčbě lipodystrofických syndromů se uplatňuje konvenční složka – standardní léčba metabolických komplikací, ale také nedávno zavedené podávání rekombinantního leptinu.(metreleptinu) který kompenzuje leptinový deficit. Jeho podávání významně zlepšuje klinický stav pacientů a jejich metabolické komplikace. Uplatňuje se v léčení jak generalizované, tak i parciální lipodystrofie.

Lipodystrophy syndromes represent a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by various degree of adipose tissue loss that results in severe metabolic complications, including hypertriglyceridemia, steatohepatitis and particularly insulin resistance. These complications may increase the mortality rate. Adipokine deficiency, and especially leptin deficiency, is due to fat tissue loss. Therapy for lipodystrophy primarily consists of a conventional approach that involves standard treatments of metabolic abnormalities. Recently, recombinant leptin.(metreleptin) administration has been introduced to compensate for leptin deficiency. This therapy markedly improves the overall patients’ status and metabolic complications and was approved for the treatment of both generalized and partial lipodystrophy.

Tukové tkanivo je dynamický metabolický orgán, ktorý zabezpečuje metabolickú homeostázu organizmu. Sekrécia adipocytokínov závisí od distribúcie tukového tkaniva, ako aj bunkového zloženia samotného tukového tkaniva – dôležitý je podiel adipocytov, stromálnych buniek, ciev a buniek imunitného systému. Cieľom našich prác, ktoré dokumentuje tento článok, je zistiť vplyv vybraných adipocytokínov na metabolické a imunologické komplikácie po transplantácii obličky. V našich analýzach sme nepotvrdili vplyv chronickej imunosupresie na hladiny adiponektínu a leptínu. Zistili sme však, že vyššie hladiny leptínu predikovali vývoj potransplantačného diabetes mellitus a nízke hladiny adiponektínu boli spojené s obezitou. Taktiež sme potvrdili, že hyperleptinemia je spojená s rozvojom akútnej rejekcie štepu a tvorbou donor špecifických protilátok.

Adipose tissue is a dynamic metabolic organ that regulates the metabolic homeostasis of the body. The secretion of adipocytokines depends on the distribution of adipose tissue, as well as the cellular composition of the adipose tissue itself - the proportion of adipocytes, stromal cells, blood vessels and cells of the immune system is important. In our analyses, the effect of chronic immunosuppression on adiponectin and leptin levels has not been confirmed. However, we found that higher leptin levels predicted the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus and low adiponectin levels were associated with obesity and insulin resistance. It was also confirmed that hyperleptinemia is associated with the development of acute graft rejection and the formation of donor specific antibodies.

The increasing use of industrial chemicals has raised concerns regarding exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with developmental, reproductive and metabolic processes. Of particular concern is their interaction with adipose tissue, a vital component of the endocrine system regulating metabolic and hormonal functions. The SGBS (Simpson Golabi Behmel Syndrome) cell line, a well-established human-relevant model for adipocyte research, closely mimics native adipocytes' properties. It responds to hormonal stimuli, undergoes adipogenesis and has been successfully used to study the impact of EDCs on adipose biology. In this study, we screened human exposure-relevant doses of various EDCs on the SGBS cell line to investigate their effects on viability, lipid accumulation and adipogenesis-related protein expression. Submicromolar doses were generally well tolerated; however, at higher doses, EDCs compromised cell viability, with cadmium chloride (CdCl2) showing the most pronounced effects. Intracellular lipid levels remained unaffected by EDCs, except for tributyltin (TBT), used as a positive control, which induced a significant increase. Analysis of adipogenesis-related protein expression revealed several effects, including downregulation of fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) by dibutyl phthalate, upregulation by CdCl2 and downregulation of perilipin 1 and FABP4 by perfluorooctanoic acid. Additionally, TBT induced dose-dependent upregulation of C/EBPα, perilipin 1 and FABP4 protein expression. These findings underscore the importance of employing appropriate models to study EDC-adipocyte interactions. Conclusions from this research could guide strategies to reduce the negative impacts of EDC exposure on adipose tissue.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a major health burden. Preadipocytes proliferate and differentiate in mature adipocytes in the adipogenic process, which could be a potential therapeutic approach for obesity. Deficiency of SIRT6, a stress-responsive protein deacetylase and mono-ADP ribosyltransferase enzyme, blocks adipogenesis. Mutants of SIRT6 (N308K/A313S) were recently linked to the in the long lifespan Ashkenazi Jews. In this study, we aimed to clarify how these new centenarian-associated SIRT6 genetic variants affect adipogenesis at the transcriptional and epigenetic level. METHODS: We analyzed the role of SIRT6 wild-type (WT) or SIRT6 centenarian-associated mutant (N308K/A313S) overexpression in adipogenesis, by creating stably transduced preadipocyte cell lines using lentivirus on the 3T3-L1 model. Histone post-translational modifications (PTM: acetylation, methylation) and transcriptomic changes were analyzed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and RNA-Seq, respectively, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In addition, the adipogenic process and related signaling pathways were investigated by bioinformatics and biochemical approaches. RESULTS: Overexpression of centenarian-associated SIRT6 mutant increased adipogenic differentiation to a similar extent compared to the WT form. However, it triggered distinct histone PTM profiles in mature adipocytes, with significantly higher acetylation levels, and activated divergent transcriptional programs, including those dependent on signaling related to the sympathetic innervation and to PI3K pathway. 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes overexpressing SIRT6 N308K/A313S displayed increased insulin sensitivity in a neuropeptide Y (NPY)-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: SIRT6 N308K/A313S overexpression in mature adipocytes ameliorated glucose sensitivity and impacted sympathetic innervation signaling. These findings highlight the importance of targeting SIRT6 enzymatic activities to regulate the co-morbidities associated with obesity.

Mammary epithelial ducts, the main functional compartment of the mammary gland, are embedded in an adipocyte-rich stroma, which is essential for proper mammary gland development, function, and tissue homeostasis. Moreover, the adipocyte compartment has an important role in cancer progression. To better understand cell-to-cell interactions and the role of the adipocytes in the mammary gland, development of proper in vitro models which realistically mimic in vivo conditions has been essential. In this chapter, we describe a simple and effective method for generating mammary gland adipocytes from mammary fibroblasts and their subsequent co-culture with mammary epithelial organoids to further investigate the role of adipocytes in epithelial development and morphogenesis.

Wharton's jelly (WJ) contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibiting broad immunomodulatory properties and differentiation capacity, which makes them a promising tool for cellular therapies. Although the osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation is a gold standard for proper identification of MSCs, it is important to elucidate the exact molecular mechanisms governing these processes to develop safe and efficient cellular therapies. Umbilical cords were collected from healthy, full-term deliveries, for subsequent MSCs (WJ-MSCs) isolation. WJ-MSCs were cultivated in vitro for osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic and neurogenic differentiation. The RNA samples were isolated and the transcript levels were evaluated using NovaSeq platform, which led to the identification of differentially expressed genes. Expression of H19 and SLPI was enhanced in adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, and NPPB was decreased in all analyzed groups compared to the control. KISS1 was down-regulated in adipocytes, chondrocytes, and neural-like cells compared to the control. The most of identified genes were already implicated in differentiation of MSCs; however, some genes (PROK1, OCA2) have not yet been associated with initiating final cell fate. The current results indicate that both osteo- and adipo-induced WJ-MSCs share many similarities regarding the most overexpressed genes, while the neuro-induced WJ-MSCs are quite distinctive from the other three groups. Overall, this study provides an insight into the transcriptomic changes occurring during the differentiation of WJ-MSCs and enables the identification of novel markers involved in this process, which may serve as a reference for further research exploring the role of these genes in physiology of WJ-MSCs and in regenerative medicine.

Adipose tissue signals to brain, liver, and muscles to control whole body metabolism through secreted lipid and protein factors as well as neurotransmission, but the mechanisms involved are incompletely understood. Adipocytes sequester triglyceride (TG) in fed conditions stimulated by insulin, while in fasting catecholamines trigger TG hydrolysis, releasing glycerol and fatty acids (FAs). These antagonistic hormone actions result in part from insulin's ability to inhibit cAMP levels generated through such G-protein-coupled receptors as catecholamine-activated β-adrenergic receptors. Consistent with these antagonistic signaling modes, acute actions of catecholamines cause insulin resistance. Yet, paradoxically, chronically activating adipocytes by catecholamines cause increased glucose tolerance, as does insulin. Recent results have helped to unravel this conundrum by revealing enhanced complexities of these hormones' signaling networks, including identification of unexpected common signaling nodes between these canonically antagonistic hormones.

OBJECTIVES: Nuclear receptor interacting protein 1 (NRIP1) suppresses energy expenditure via repression of nuclear receptors, and its depletion markedly elevates uncoupled respiration in mouse and human adipocytes. We tested whether NRIP1 deficient adipocytes implanted into obese mice would enhance whole body metabolism. Since β-adrenergic signaling through cAMP strongly promotes adipocyte thermogenesis, we tested whether the effects of NRIP1 knock-out (NRIP1KO) require the cAMP pathway. METHODS: NRIP1KO adipocytes were implanted in recipient high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice and metabolic cage studies conducted. The Nrip1 gene was disrupted by CRISPR in primary preadipocytes isolated from control vs adipose selective GsαKO (cAdGsαKO) mice prior to differentiation to adipocytes. Protein kinase A inhibitor was also used. RESULTS: Implanting NRIP1KO adipocytes into HFD fed mice enhanced whole-body glucose tolerance by increasing insulin sensitivity, reducing adiposity, and enhancing energy expenditure in the recipients. NRIP1 depletion in both control and GsαKO adipocytes was equally effective in upregulating uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and adipocyte beiging, while β-adrenergic signaling by CL 316,243 was abolished in GsαKO adipocytes. Combining NRIP1KO with CL 316,243 treatment synergistically increased Ucp1 gene expression and increased the adipocyte subpopulation responsive to beiging. Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) was dispensable for UCP1 upregulation by NRIPKO. CONCLUSIONS: The thermogenic effect of NRIP1 depletion in adipocytes causes systemic enhancement of energy expenditure when such adipocytes are implanted into obese mice. Furthermore, NRIP1KO acts independently but cooperatively with the cAMP pathway in mediating its effect on adipocyte beiging.

Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) exhibit multilineage differentiation potential, adhere to plastic, and express a specific set of surface markers-CD105, CD73, CD90. Although there are relatively well-established differentiation protocols for WJ-MSCs, the exact molecular mechanisms involved in their in vitro long-term culture and differentiation remain to be elucidated. In this study, the cells were isolated from Wharton's jelly of umbilical cords obtained from healthy full-term deliveries, cultivated in vitro, and differentiated towards osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic and neurogenic lineages. RNA samples were isolated after the differentiation regimen and analyzed using an RNA sequencing (RNAseq) assay, which led to the identification of differentially expressed genes belonging to apoptosis-related ontological groups. ZBTB16 and FOXO1 were upregulated in all differentiated groups as compared to controls, while TGFA was downregulated in all groups. In addition, several possible novel marker genes associated with the differentiation of WJ-MSCs were identified (e.g., SEPTIN4, ITPR1, CNR1, BEX2, CD14, EDNRB). The results of this study provide an insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in the long-term culture in vitro and four-lineage differentiation of WJ-MSCs, which is crucial to utilize WJ-MSCs in regenerative medicine.
