Abstract
MicroRNAs have been recently reported to act as key regulators of adipogenesis, a multifactorial complex process. One miRNA, miR-302b, is an important regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation and controls cancer development, but we speculate that miR-302b may also regulate bovine adipogenesis. Herein we have evaluated the role of this miRNA in bovine adipocyte differentiation using quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR), Oil Red O staining, a dual-luciferase reporter. CDK2 was identified as the target gene of miR-302b, and miR-302b agomir promoted mRNA and protein expression levels of adipocyte-specific genes. In addition, a CCK-8 kit was used to show that miR-302b agomir, but not the negative control, inhibits preadipocyte proliferation. In conclusion, miR-302b promotes bovine preadipocyte differentiation and inhibits proliferation by targeting CDK2.

Abstract
Adipogenesis has been extensively studied using in vitro models of cellular differentiation, enabling long-term regulation of fat cell metabolism in human adipose tissue (AT) material. Many studies promote the idea that manipulation of this process could potentially reduce the prevalence of obesity and its related diseases. It has now become essential to understand the molecular basis of fat cell development to tackle this pandemic disease, by identifying therapeutic targets and new biomarkers. This review explores murine cell models and their applications for study of the adipogenic differentiation process in vitro. We focus on the benefits and limitations of different cell line models to aid in interpreting data and selecting a good cell line model for successful understanding of adipose biology.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effects of topical prostaglandin analogue drugs on the differentiation of adipocytes. Methods Differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was induced with isobutylmethylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin. 3T3-L1 cells were exposed to 0.008, 0.08, 0.2 µM of latanoprost and travoprost. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for mRNA expression of lipoprotein lipase and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ 2 (PPARγ2), and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) assays were performed to examine the effects on early and late differentiation, respectively. Also, glycerol assays were done to evaluate the effect of prostaglandin analogues on lipolysis after differentiation. Results Both prostaglandin analogues inhibited differentiation of preadipocytes. Topical prostaglandin analogues significantly decreased G3PDH activity, a marker of late differentiation. However, topical prostaglandin analogues did not change mRNA expressions of lipoprotein lipase and PPARγ2, markers of early differentiation. The activities of the early markers of differentiation were not changed significantly before and after growth arrest. Compared to latanoprost, travoprost decreased G3PDH activity more significantly (p < 0.05). Both prostaglandin analogues did not affect the lipolysis of differentiated adipocytes (p > 0.05). Conclusions Prostaglandin analogues display an inhibitory effect on the differentiation of adipocytes when the cells start to differentiate especially in the late stage of differentiation. Thus, commercial topical prostaglandin analogues may decrease the fat contents of eyelids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) from supernumerary teeth and determine the effects of a 350-nm nano-patterned surface on adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. DESIGN Several surface markers were analysed by FACS to confirm the isolated cells as hDPSCs. To demonstrate the effects of a nano-patterned surface on the differentiation of hDPSCs, the cells were cultured on a nano-patterned surface with or without adipogenic or osteogenic induction factors. Cells were then stained with Oil red O or Alizarin red, and the lineage specific genes LPL and Runx-2 were analysed by real-time PCR at 3, 6 and 9 days after culture. RESULTS The hDPSCs on a nano-patterned surface showed a linear arrangement compared to irregular cells on a conventional surface. During adipogenic differentiation, more Oil red O stained cells were found in the nano-patterned group than in the conventional group. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in Alizarin red staining between the nano-pattern and conventional surface groups after induction of osteogenic differentiation. Gene expression analyses revealed significantly higher expression of LPL in the nano-patterned group than in the conventional group, whereas Runx-2 expression was higher in the conventional group than in the nano-patterned group. CONCLUSION This study showed that a nano-patterned surface may be able to enhance adipogenic differentiation of hDPSCs by altering their morphology and gene expression patterns, whereas the same surface may inhibit or suppress osteogenic differentiation of the cells.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of oleic acid (OA) concentrations and incubation time, along with chicken serum (CS), on adipogenic differentiation and expression of adipogenic transcripts in hen preadipocytes. Preadipocytes were treated with (i) an adipogenic cocktail (DMI) containing 500 nM dexamethasone, 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and 20 µg/mL insulin alone and DMI + 75, 150, 300 or 600 µM OA for 48 h; (ii) DMI + 300 µM OA (DMIOA) for 6, 12, 24 or 48 h; and (iii) foetal bovine serum (FBS), CS, DMI + FBS, DMI + CS, DMIOA + FBS and DMIOA + CS. While FABP4 was significantly expressed with increasing concentrations of OA, the expression of C/EBPβ, LEPR and FAS were unchanged compared with the control. PPARγ2 expression was unchanged across all time-points. A significantly higher level of C/EBPα was measured at 48 h, but the levels of C/EBPβ increased after 12 h. Levels of FABP4 significantly increased with the time of incubation after 12 h, but that of LPL was reduced (P < 0.05) at 6, 24 and 48 h. FABP4 was highly expressed in cells treated with CS, DMI + CS and DMIOA + CS compared to cells treated with FBS, DMI + FBS and DMIOA + FBS. In conclusion, increased concentrations of OA and incubation time increases lipid accumulation; FABP4 and C/EBPβ are potential transcription factors regulating OA induced adipogenesis of fat cells obtained from laying hen. CS is a potent inducer of adipogenic differentiation in hen preadipocytes.

Abstract
Growth-arrested 3T3-L1 preadipocytes rapidly express CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-beta (C/EBPbeta) upon hormonal induction of differentiation. However, the DNA binding activity of C/EBPbeta is not activated until the cells synchronously reenter S phase during the mitotic clonal expansion (MCE) phase of differentiation. In this period, C/EBPbeta is sequentially phosphorylated by MAPK and glycogen synthase kinase-3beta, inducing C/EBPbeta DNA binding activity and transcription of its target genes. Because the DNA binding activity of C/EBPbeta is further enhanced by oxidation in vitro, we investigated how redox state affects C/EBPbeta DNA binding and MCE during adipogenesis. When 3T3-L1 cells were treated with H(2)O(2) and hormonal stimuli, differentiation was accelerated with increased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. Interestingly, cell cycle progression (S to G(2)/M phase) was markedly enhanced by H(2)O(2), whereas antioxidants caused an S phase arrest during the MCE. H(2)O(2) treatment resulted in the early appearance of a punctate pattern observed by immunofluorescent staining of C/EBPbeta, which is a hallmark for C/EBPbeta binding to regulatory elements, whereas a short antioxidant treatment rapidly dispersed the centromeric localization of C/EBPbeta. Consistently, reactive oxygen species production was increased during 3T3-L1 differentiation. Our results indicate that redox-induced C/EBPbeta DNA binding activity, along with the dual phosphorylation of C/EBPbeta, is required for the MCE and terminal differentiation of adipocytes.

Abstract
Lipoatrophy is a prevalent side effect of treatment with thymidine analogues. We wished to confine the time point of the antiadipogenic effect of zidovudine (AZT) during adipogenesis and to evaluate the antiproliferative effect of AZT on adipocyte homeostasis. We investigated the effects of AZT on adipogenesis in 3T3-F442A cells and studied their proliferation, differentiation, viability, and adiponectin expression. Cells were exposed to AZT (1 microM, 3 microM, 6 microM, and 180 microM), stavudine (d4T; 3 microM), or dideoxycytosine (ddC; 0.1 microM) for up to 15 days. Differentiation was assessed by real-time PCR and quantification of triglyceride accumulation. Proliferation and clonal expansion were determined by a [(3)H]thymidine incorporation assay. When they were induced to differentiate in the presence of AZT at the maximum concentration in plasma (C(max)) and lower concentrations, 3T3-F442A preadipocytes failed to accumulate cytoplasmic triacylglycerol and failed to express normal levels of the later adipogenic transcription factors, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. AZT exerted an inhibitory effect on the completion of the mitotic clonal expansion, which resulted in incomplete 3T3-F442A differentiation and, finally, a reduction in the level of adiponectin expression. In addition, AZT impaired the constitutive proliferation in murine and primary human subcutaneous preadipocytes. In contrast, incubation with d4T and ddC at the C(max) did not affect either preadipocyte proliferation or clonal expansion and differentiation. We conclude that the antiproliferative and antiadipogenetic effects of AZT on murine and primary human preadipocytes reveal the impact of the drug on fat tissue regeneration. These effects of the drug are expected to contribute to disturbed adipose tissue homeostasis and to be influenced by differential drug concentration and penetration in individual patients.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a mixture of isomers of linoleic acid, has previously been shown to be able to decrease porcine subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissue levels while increasing the count of intramuscular (IM) adipose tissue in vivo. However, the underlying mechanisms through which it acts are poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the different effects of CLA on adipogenesis in cultured SC adipose tissue and IM stromal vascular cells obtained from neonatal pigs. As shown here, trans-10, cis-12 CLA decreased the expression of adipocyte-specific genes as well as adipose precursor cell numbers and the accumulation of lipid in cultured SC adipose tissue stromal vascular cells. However, the cis-9, trans-11 CLA did not alter adipogenesis in SC cultures. On the other hand, both CLA isomers increased the expression of adipocyte-specific genes in IM cultures, together with the increasing accumulation of lipid and Oil Red O-stained cells. Collectively, these data show that CLA decreases SC adipose tissue but increases IM adipose tissue by different regulation of adipocyte-specific gene expression. These results suggest that adipogenesis in IM adipocytes differs from that in SC adipocytes.

Abstract
The quest for effective strategies to treat obesity has propelled fat research into an exploration of the molecular processes that drive adipocyte formation, and hence body fat mass. The development of obesity is dependent on the coordinated interplay of adipocyte hypertrophy (increased fat cell size), adipocyte hyperplasia (increased fat cell number), and angiogenesis. Evidence suggests that adipocyte hyperplasia, or adipogenesis, occurs throughout life, both in response to normal cell turnover as well as in response to the need for additional fat mass stores that arises when caloric intake exceeds nutritional requirements. Adipogenesis involves two major events-the recruitment and proliferation of adipocyte precursor cells, called preadipocytes, followed by the subsequent conversion of preadipocytes, or differentiation, into mature fat cells. In vitro studies using experimental and primary preadipocyte cell lines have uncovered the mechanisms that drive the adipogenic process, a tightly controlled sequence of events guided by the strict temporal regulation of multiple inhibitory and stimulatory signaling events involving regulators of cell-cycle functions and differentiation factors. This article reviews the current understanding of adipogenesis with emphasis on the various stages of adipocyte development; on key hormonal, nutritional, paracrine, and neuronal control signals; as well as on the components involved in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions that are pivotal in regulating fat cell formation. Special consideration is given to clinical applications derived from adipogenesis research with impact on medical, surgical and cosmetic fields.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) give rise to adipocytes in response to a medium containing dexamethasone, isobutylmethylxanthine, and insulin. A cDNA microarray was applied to analyze the gene expression profiles between the cells at day 0 and at day 3 of incubation in the adipogenic medium, when the cells began to express PPARgamma2, a transcription factor of adipogenesis. Several genes that were regulated during this time period were then confirmed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Interestingly, several genes identified previously as markers of lineage-specific differentiations other than adipocyte were regulated during adipogenesis. We totally identified 82 genes that were differentially induced by fivefold or greater, and 31 genes that were differentially suppressed by twofold or more. Among them, 55 genes were not previously examined to associate with adipogenesis or have not been determined in hMSCs, therefore, these data provide novel information on the genes involved in adipogenesis of hMSCs.

Abstract
The 3T3-L1 cell line is a well-established and commonly used in vitro model to assess adipocyte differentiation. Over the course of several days confluent 3T3-L1 cells can be converted to adipocytes in the presence of an adipogenic cocktail. Changes in gene expression were measured by DNA microarrays at three time points (24 h, 4 days, and 1 week) during the course of differentiation from preadipocytes to mature adipocytes. Several functional categories of genes were affected by adipocyte conversion. In addition, seven genes were found to be commonly altered by 5-fold or more by adipocyte conversion at all three time points. Lipocalin 2, haptoglobin, serum amyloid A3, stearoyl-CoA desaturase, and 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 were induced while actin alpha2 and procollagen VIII alpha1 were suppressed by adipocyte differentiation. Further study of the regulation of these genes and pathways will lead to an increased understanding of the biochemical pathways involved in adipocyte differentiation and possibly to the identification of new therapeutic targets for treatment of obesity and other metabolic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preadipocyte cell lines present a cell model with which to understand the physiopathological mechanisms underlying lipodystrophy syndrome, a common complication observed in patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) that, in general, is associated with the use of protease inhibitors (PI) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of NRTI and of PI and NRTI combinations in this cell model. METHODS The differentiation of 3T3-F442A cells was studied by monitoring the expression of specific genes in the presence of therapeutic concentrations of antiretroviral drugs. Messenger RNA (mRNA) was quantified by two reverse transcription-PCR-based methods. RESULTS In the presence of 2 microM saquinavir, 30 microM ritonavir or 1 microM zidovudine preadipocytes delayed their differentiation, whereas the use of 10 microM nelfinavir led to cell death. Indinavir (10 microM) promoted lipoprotein lipase expression whereas 1 microM lamivudine or 1 microM stavudine enhanced slightly the expression of the malic enzyme gene. However, the combination of indinavir, lamivudine and stavudine led to a large increase in both lipoprotein lipase and malic enzyme mRNA transcription whereas the combination of indinavir, lamivudine and zidovudine led to a 2.5-fold increase in the expression of the lipogenic malic enzyme gene. Similar potentiating effects of NRTI and PI were observed on the expression of the fatty acid synthase gene. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that, like PI (although to a lesser extent) NRTI interfere with the differentiation process of adipocytes. In addition, we demonstrate that the effects produced by combinations of NRTI and PI are different from those elicited by each drug separately. This point may be particularly relevant in understanding the physiopathological mechanisms underlying the lipodystrophic syndrome.

Abstract
A novel tissue engineering for bone formation has been proposed, to make osteoblast differentiation balanced by transfecting the mesenchymal stem cells with a gene encoding human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (hBMP-2) under the control of adipocyte specific lipoprotein lipase (LPL) promoter. Due to the promoter specificity, the initiation of BMP transcription is dependent on adipogenesis. For 14-day culture in the presence of ascorbic acid (asc) and beta-glycerophosphate (gly), nontransfected mouse embryonic fibroblast C3H10T1/2 (10T1/2) cells showed extensive accumulation of lipid droplets and adipocyte specific enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) mRNA expression, but exhibited neither BMP-2 expression, high alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity which reflects osteoblast phenotype. On the other hand, transfected 10T1/2 cells showed hBMP-2 expression, high ALP activity and low level of G3PDH. mRNA expression accompanied with minimal lipid droplets. These results indicate that 10T1/2 cells are proved to be differentiated with maintaining coordinated balance of adipogenesis and osteogenesis, when they are transfected by the gene encoding hBMP-2 under the control of LPL promoter.

Abstract
The adipocyte plays a critical role in energy balance. Adipose tissue growth involves an increase in adipocyte size and the formation of new adipocytes from precursor cells. For the last 20 years, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adipocyte differentiation have been extensively studied using preadipocyte culture systems. Committed preadipocytes undergo growth arrest and subsequent terminal differentiation into adipocytes. This is accompanied by a dramatic increase in expression of adipocyte genes including adipocyte fatty acid binding protein and lipid-metabolizing enzymes. Characterization of regulatory regions of adipose-specific genes has led to the identification of the transcription factors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), which play a key role in the complex transcriptional cascade during adipocyte differentiation. Growth and differentiation of preadipocytes is controlled by communication between individual cells or between cells and the extracellular environment. Various hormones and growth factors that affect adipocyte differentiation in a positive or negative manner have been identified. In addition, components involved in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions such as preadipocyte factor-1 and extracellular matrix proteins are also pivotal in regulating the differentiation process. Identification of these molecules has yielded clues to the biochemical pathways that ultimately result in transcriptional activation via PPAR-gamma and C/EBP. Studies on the regulation of the these transcription factors and the mode of action of various agents that influence adipocyte differentiation will reveal the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying adipose tissue development.

Abstract
3T3-L1 and human preadipocyte differentiation was significantly (P < 0.001) enhanced by HDL2, LDLII/III and LDLIV. The concentrations of lipoproteins required for maximal differentiation in human preadipocytes were not achieved over the concentration range 50-150 micrograms lipoprotein protein ml-1, whereas maximal differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was achieved for all lipoprotein subfractions at approximately 75 micrograms lipoprotein ml-1, a level almost double that required for complete HDL and LDL fractions in 3T3-L1 cells. Despite the enhanced extent of differentiation caused by certain lipoprotein subfractions, the time needed for the conversion process was unaffected. GPDH activity development in both cell types was most pronounced in response to LDLIV, with HDL2 resulting in the lowest activity. In both cell types, the enhancement of differentiation was only evident when the cells were exposed to lipoproteins during the early stage of the program, i.e. before visible formation of lipid droplets.

Abstract
Cold exposure is a well-known physiological stimulus that activates the sympathetic nervous system and induces brown adipose tissue (BAT) hyperplasia. The effects of cold exposure or cold acclimatation have been extensively studied in interscapular BAT (IBAT). However, it has been recently shown that studied adipocytes are present in adipose deposits considered as white fat such as periovarian (PO) fat pad. We have investigated the kinetic of brown precursor recruitment in adipose tissues using DNA measurement and specific marker expression. In IBAT, cold exposure induces proliferation of precursor cells and differentiation into preadipocytes characterized by the expression of A2COL6, a marker specific to early steps of the differentiation process. A chronic stimulation of the tissue is necessary to observe the full effect. In PO fat pad, no proliferation can be detected, whereas differentiation of brown preadipocytes and maybe phenotypic conversion of white adipocytes seems to be promoted. In conclusion, these data demonstrated that 1) the same stimulus (cold exposure) does not induce the same response in terms of preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation in periovarian and brown adipose tissues, although both contain brown adipocytes, and 2) preadipocyte recruitment in adipose tissues after cold exposure depends on the predominant type of fat cells.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cell replication for the differentiation of human adipocyte precursor cells in primary culture. When cells were seeded in a medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, they started to proliferate within 48 h after exposure, as assessed by cell counting and [3H]thymidine autoradiography. When cells were inoculated in the absence of serum, a significant degree of cell proliferation was not detectable. Histochemical investigations using bromodeoxyuridine incorporation demonstrated that cells replicating their DNA did not accumulate lipid droplets. Inoculating adipocyte precursor cells under completely serum-free conditions resulted in a 30-50% higher expression of lipogenic enzymes such as glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and lipoprotein lipase than keeping cells in serum-supplemented medium for the initial 16 h. Addition of cytosine arabinoside at concentrations that effectively block mitosis did not interfere with adipocyte development. In conclusion, adipocyte precursor cells from human adipose tissue do not require cell division to enter the differentiation process in vitro. These cells may have already undergone possibly critical cell divisions in vivo and may be in a late stage of adipocyte development.

Abstract
During fasting, a reduction in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity has been observed in rat fat pad with no change in enzyme mass, whereas LPL mRNA and synthesis are increased, suggesting that insulin and/or fatty acids (FA) regulate LPL activity post-translationaly [Doolittle, Ben-Zeev, Elovson, Martin and Kirchgessner (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 4570-4577]. To examine the role of FA, either preadipose Ob1771 cells or Ob1771 and 3T3-F442A adipose cells were exposed to long-chain FA and to 2-bromopalmitate, a non-metabolized FA. A rapid (2-8 h) and dose-dependent increase (up to 6-fold) in LPL mRNA occurred, primarily due to increased transcription, which is accompanied by a decrease (down to 4-fold) in LPL cellular activity. Under these conditions, secretion of active LPL was nearly abolished. Removal of FA led to full recovery of LPL activity. LPL gene expression in 3T3-C2 fibroblasts was not affected by FA treatment. However fatty acid-activated receptor transfected-3T3-C2 cells, which show FA responsiveness, had increased LPL gene expression upon FA addition. LPL synthesis and cellular content appeared unaffected by FA treatment, whereas secretion of LPL was inhibited. These results indicate that FA regulate the post-translational processing of LPL. It is proposed that the regulation of LPL activity by FA is important with regard to the fine-tuning of FA entry into adipocytes during fasting/feeding periods.

Abstract
We examined the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) on the expressions of key proteins concerned with energy metabolism in brown adipocytes during their differentiation in primary culture. Transcripts of the uncoupling protein (UCP), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) genes were observed in brown adipocytes cultured in the presence of insulin and thyroid hormones but in the absence of DEX. However, the mRNA level of UCP decreased with the culture period after confluence, and significant mRNA encoding type-1 glucose transporter (GLUT1) was detected in brown adipocytes cultured without DEX, whereas type-4 glucose transporter (GLUT4) was predominantly expressed in mature brown adipocytes in vivo. In contrast, DEX added after confluence consistently elevated the mRNA levels of UCP, LPL and C/EBP alpha, and repressed the level of GLUT1 in a manner synchronized with increase in the level of GLUT4. Therefore, it is concluded that DEX as well as insulin and thyroid hormones is essential for differentiation of brown adipose precursor cells into mature cells that are similar to brown adipocytes in vivo.

Abstract
We determined the development of the omental fat depot in a cross-sectional study of 242 baboons from birth to mature adulthood. The triglyceride content of the omentum increased during preweaning (birth to 4 months) and adolescence (2 to 5 years) and was associated with an increase in both fat cell number and size. Between weaning and 2 years of age omentum triglyceride mass decreased as a result of decreasing fat cell size, but fat cell number remained constant. After adolescence and up to 13 years of age, omental triglyceride mass and fat cell volume were stable, but fat cell number increased slightly in female baboons. We determined the in vitro potential of omental stromal vascular (S-V) cells from baboons at different stages of development to differentiate in a serum-free medium. Both the proportion of omental S-V cells that accumulated cytoplasmic lipid droplets and the induction of glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity were increased to the greatest degree in the presence of 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine, 2.0 nmol/L triiodothyronine (T3), 0.85 mumol/L insulin, and 1.0 mumol/L cortisol. Omental S-V cells from preweaning and adolescent baboons had a greater differentiation rate, GPDH activity, and triglyceride accumulation compared with cells from postweaned infants and mature adults. In summary, most of the growth of the baboon omentum occurs during the preweaning and pubertal periods of life, and omental S-V cells isolated from animals during these periods retain a greater potential to differentiate in vitro.

Abstract
We have previously described the molecular cloning of a cDNA probe which detects a 6 kb mRNA termed pOb24. pOb24 mRNA appeared to be a marker of the preadipose state both in vitro and in vivo. A pOb24 genomic fragment was isolated and used to screen cDNA libraries in order to isolate the full-length pOb24 cDNA and to identify the corresponding protein. The screening yielded a new cDNA clone which detected a 3.7 kb mRNA species in addition to the 6 kb mRNA species. Sequences at the 3' end of the 6 kb and 3.7 kb mRNAs indicate that both mRNAs are generated from the same gene through the use of two different polyadenylation sites. The protein encoded by the 3.7 kb mRNA appeared to be homologous to the human alpha 2 chain of type VI collagen (A2COL6). The expression of the A2COL6 gene was not confined to adipose tissue; mRNA species can be detected in ovaries, adrenal glands and lungs but not in liver and skeletal muscle. The expression appeared specific for initial phase(s) of cell differentiation since it is parallel to that of the MyoD1 gene during muscle embryogenesis in vivo. In the myogenic C2C12 cell line, the A2COL6 gene exhibited the same regulation as MyoD1 and myogenin genes. These results indicate that A2COL6 gene expression is a marker of the preadipose state, but may also be a marker of other differentiation programmes such as that of muscle.

Abstract
When preadipocytes differentiate into adipocytes, several differentiation-linked genes are activated. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is one of the first genes induced during this process. To investigate early events in adipocyte development, we have focused on the transcriptional activation of the LPL gene. For this purpose, we have cloned and fused different parts of intragenic and flanking sequences with a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene. Transient transfection experiments and DNase I hypersensitivity assays indicate that several positive as well as negative elements contribute to transcriptional regulation of the LPL gene. When reporter gene constructs were stably introduced into preadipocytes, we were able to monitor and compare the activation patterns of different promoter deletion mutants at selected time points representing the process of adipocyte development. We could delimit two cis-regulatory elements important for gradual activation of the LPL gene during adipocyte development in vitro. These elements, LP-alpha (-702 to -666) and LP-beta (-468 to -430), contain a striking similarity to a consensus sequence known to bind the transcription factors HNF-3 and fork head. Results of gel mobility shift assays and DNase I and exonuclease III in vitro protection assays indicate that factors with DNA-binding properties similar to those of the HNF-3/fork head family of transcription factors are present in adipocytes and interact with LP-alpha and LP-beta. We also demonstrate that LP-alpha and LP-beta were both capable of conferring a differentiation-linked expression pattern to a heterolog promoter, thus mimicking the expression of the endogenous LPL gene during adipocyte differentiation. These findings indicate that interactions with LP-alpha and LP-beta could be a part of a differentiation switch governing induction of the LPL gene during adipocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Primary cultures of precursor cells from mouse and rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) were used to study the effect of a new beta-agonist (ICI D7114) on the uncoupling protein (UCP) gene expression. ICI 215001 (the active metabolite of D7114) increased the expression of UCP and its mRNA in brown adipocytes differentiating in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. This stimulating effect was not inhibited by propranolol, a non-specific beta-antagonist, but was partially reduced by bupranolol, a beta 3-antagonist. No expression of UCP mRNA was ever induced by ICI 215001 in white adipocytes differentiated in vitro. It was concluded that the drug could affect the brown adipose cells through a beta 3-pathway. It could clearly modulate the expression of UCP in brown adipocytes differentiated in vitro, but was not able by itself to turn on the gene.

Abstract
Influence of arachidonate metabolite pathway on adipose differentiation was investigated using primary culture of adipocyte precursors in defined medium. Treatment of the cells with cyclooxygenase inhibitors stimulates adipose differentiation by at least 2-fold. Among the various arachidonate metabolites tested, only prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) was found to inhibit the differentiation of adipocyte precursors in a dose dependent fashion. Other eicosanoids tested did not have any effect. A 50% inhibition of adipose differentiation was observed with a dose of PGF2 alpha of 3 x 10(-9)M to 7 x 10(-9)M according to the strain of rats used. Maximal inhibition occurred at PGF2 alpha concentrations equal or higher than 10(-8)M. PGF2 alpha inhibited not only the expression of late markers of adipose differentiation such as G3PDH and triglycerides accumulation but also the mRNA expression of early markers of adipose differentiation such as clone 154, lipoprotein lipase and ap2 gene. These results indicate that PGF2 alpha represents a physiological negative modulator of adipose differentiation.

Abstract
During the course of differentiation of preadipocytes into adipocytes, several differentiation-linked genes are activated synchronously with morphological changes. To follow this process we have used 3T3-F442A cells, known to undergo adipocyte conversion with high frequency. Accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm constitutes an easily visualized sign of the terminally differentiated phenotype. In this report we demonstrate that expression of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) is an important factor in determining the ability to accumulate lipid droplets in terminally differentiated adipocytes. In one experiment we can suppress C/EBP expression through administration of hydrocortisone to differentiating 3T3-F442A cells, which is accompanied by an inability of the cells to accumulate lipid. In another experiment a C/EBP antisense expression vector has been stably introduced into 3T3-F442A cells and as compared with control cells, a 62% decrease of C/EBP mRNA (p less than 0.01) is demonstrated. This decrease of C/EBP mRNA is accompanied by a change in cellular morphology characterized by a reduced ability to form lipid droplets. We can also demonstrate a correlation between the degree of reduction of C/EBP mRNA and the amount of lipid present in the cells. These findings strongly support the view that C/EBP is a necessary component of terminal adipocyte differentiation.

Abstract
The effects of physiological glucocorticoids such as cortisol and corticosterone, as well as dexamethasone, on proliferation and differentiation of rat fat cell precursors kept in primary culture were analyzed. In serum-containing medium (10%), glucocorticoids markedly decreased cell proliferation, either on subconfluent or on confluent cultures. This effect was independent of the presence of insulin. In contrast, acute amplification of adipose conversion was observed mainly when glucocorticoids and insulin were added simultaneously. Morphological quantification of lipid-containing cells confirmed acceleration of the maturation process, and an early and specific reorganization of the cytoskeleton was detected at the ultrastructural level. In the presence of insulin, glucocorticoids also enhanced the main marker enzymes, lipoprotein lipase, and glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase. Glucocorticoid effects on precursor proliferation and differentiation were clearly dose-dependent, dexamethasone being 10 times more potent than cortisol and corticosterone. Similar results were obtained in serum-free medium, as well as in preadipocyte cultures derived from different fat deposits. This study demonstrates that in addition to an acute inhibition of precursor growth, glucocorticoids exert a clear stimulation of adipose conversion, which depends mainly on the presence of insulin and the glucocorticoid concentration.

Abstract
To examine whether GTP-binding protein(s) is (are) involved in adipocyte differentiation, the effect of pertussis toxin (PT) was studied in rat adipocyte precursor cell culture. PT potentiated adipose conversion induced by dexamethasone, insulin, and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Attenuation of an inhibitory control of adenylate cyclase was not the mechanism of action of PT. The dose-dependent inhibition of PT-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the Mr 40,000 protein of the cell membrane by preincubation of the toxin was inversely related to the potentiating effect on differentiation. PT-sensitive G protein(s) may be involved in adipocyte differentiation in a negative fashion.

Abstract
The interferon-induced double-stranded RNA-dependent eIF-2 alpha kinase (dsI) has an established role in mediating part of interferon's antiviral effects. Numerous studies have suggested that dsI also has regulatory functions in cells not infected with virus. Our previous results have indicated that the activation of this kinase may be an important regulatory signal in controlling growth arrest of mouse 3T3-F442A fibroblasts prior to their subsequent differentiation to adipocytes. Here, we report that extracts from 3T3-F442A cells cultured under conditions nonpermissive for differentiation exhibit significantly reduced dsI activity and that this reduction is due, at least in part, to the presence of elevated levels of a novel inhibitor of dsI activation (dRF). This inhibitor is also detected in reduced amounts in extracts from cells cultured under conditions which are permissive for differentiation. We have achieved a 1,000-fold purification of dRF activity, and highly purified dRF preparations were found to be greatly enriched for a 15-kDa protein that was greater than 90% pure. Our results indicate that dRF is not a protein phosphatase or protease but a reversible inhibitor of dsI autophosphorylation. In addition, our results imply that dRF is a physiologic regulator of dsI, since dRF activity correlates with the ability of 3T3-F442A cells to undergo adipose conversion.

Abstract
The effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) production was studied in mesenchymal rat heart cell cultures. Addition of FGF to culture medium containing 20% serum resulted in a 3-fold increase in LPL activity. The minimal effective dose of FGF was 10 ng/ml and the increase occurred after exposure for 48 h. Addition of FGF was effective during the first week in culture, when enzyme activity was increasing, but not after 11 days when the cultures were superconfluent and the enzyme activity was high. Addition of FGF to serum-poor medium was able to replace serum required to sustain LPL activity. In FGF-treated cultures, more LPL activity was present in the functional pool, but not in the medium, than in the controls. The increase in enzymic activity was accompanied by an increase in enzyme mass and in LPL mRNA.

Abstract
The mitogenic-adipogenic effect exerted by arachidonic acid, which leads to terminal differentiation of Ob1771 mouse preadipocytes, has been shown to be (i) blocked by cyclooxygenase inhibitors, (ii) mimicked by a stable analogue of prostacyclin (carbaprostacyclin) and (iii) potentiated by PGF2 alpha. Since these prostanoids are known to be synthesized and secreted by preadipocytes, we have proposed that both prostacyclin as the key mediator and PGF2 alpha as a modulator control the expression of terminal events of adipose conversion by means of an autocrine mechanism (Gaillard, D. et al. and Negrel, R. et al. Biochem. J. (1989) 257, 389-397 and 399-405). In order to test this hypothesis, the release of prostacyclin, characterized under the form of its stable degradation product 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and that of PGF2 alpha have been studied in the culture medium of Ob1771 cells. A striking increase in the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and to a minor degree of PGF2 alpha was observed when cells were exposed to arachidonic acid as shown by using [3H]arachidonic acid prelabelled cells or by radio-immunoassays. Since antagonists of PGF2 alpha and PGI2 receptors were not available, specific antibodies directed against PGF2 alpha and 6 beta-PGI1, another stable analogue of prostacyclin, were added as neutralizing agents in the culture medium. These antibodies were able to counteract the mitogenic-adipogenic effect of arachidonic acid. Prostacyclin and PGF2 alpha thus appear as autocrine mediators in the process of adipose conversion.

Abstract
Growth Hormone has recently been shown to stimulate the formation of diacylglycerol in Ob1771 mouse preadipocyte cells without increasing inositol lipid turnover. Addition of growth hormone to Ob1771 cells prelabelled with [3H]glycerol or [3H]choline led to a rapid, transient and stoechiometric formation of labelled diacylglycerol and phosphocholine, respectively. In contrast, no change was observed in the level of choline and phosphatidic acid whereas the release of water-soluble metabolites in [3H]ethanolamine prelabelled cells exposed to growth hormone was hardly detectable. Stimulation by growth hormone of cells prelabelled with (2-palmitoyl 9, 10 [3H])phosphatidylcholine also induced the production of labelled diacyglycerol. Pertussis toxin abolished both diacylglycerol and phosphocholine formation induced by growth hormone. It is concluded that growth hormone mediates diacylglycerol production in Ob1771 cells by means of phosphatidylcholine breakdown involving a phospholipase C which is likely coupled to the growth hormone receptor via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein.

Abstract
To better understand possible autocrine or paracrine mechanisms involved in adipose tissue development, we have studied the biosynthesis of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by cultured porcine preadipocytes in response to factors known to modulate cell growth and differentiation. The expression of c-fos was also monitored because of the potential role of that proto-oncogene in coordination of growth and differentiation. Preadipocytes were grown to confluence and then maintained in one of three media treatments: a) standard medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), b) FBS supplemented with dexamethasone (Dex), c) FBS supplemented with dibutyryladenosine 3'-5'-cyclic monophosphate. Indirect measurements of growth indicated that cell proliferation did not differ due to media type. Histochemical and enzymatic measurements of adipocyte development revealed that differentiation occurred only in those cultures exposed to Dex. The increase in adipocyte differentiation in response to Dex was associated with a decrease in c-fos and actin RNA expression whereas the decrease in c-fos RNA expression in response to Dex was small (approximately 40%); immunocytochemical analysis indicated that induction of Fos protein occurred only in undifferentiated cells. Thus, the cells responsible for the decrease in c-fos RNA expression are possibly those signaled to differentiate into adipocytes. Expression of IGF-I RNA and secretion of IGF-I and PGE2 were also decreased in response to Dex treatment. These data provide the first demonstration that biosynthesis of IGF-I by preadipocytes can be modulated by a potent inducer of adipocyte differentiation. The combined results indicate that glucocorticoids may stimulate adipocyte differentiation by suppressing intracellular and putative intercellular mitogenic signals.

Abstract
The effects of dexamethasone (DEX) on adipose precursor cells from rat adipose tissue were studied in primary culture. When added from the beginning of culture in media containing untreated fetal calf serum (SM), serum treated with charcoal to remove steroid hormones (CSM), or serum-free medium (SFM), DEX inhibited cellular growth. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as well as glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activities, markers of cellular differentiation, were also inhibited, except in CSM where LPL was stimulated. When added after cellular confluence, however, DEX had opposite effects and now stimulated cellular differentiation. This effect was highly dependent on insulin. These studies demonstrate that DEX affects adipose precursor cells in several ways, depending on the type of culture medium, the time period of exposure, and the presence of insulin.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and pOb24 mRNAs are known to be early markers of adipose cell differentiation. Comparative studies of the expression of pOb24 and LPL genes during adipose conversion of Ob1771 preadipocyte cells and in mouse adipose tissue have shown the following: 1) the expression of both genes takes place at confluence; this event can also be triggered by growth arrest of exponentially growing cells at the G1/S stage of the cell cycle; 2) In contrast to glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA, the emergence of pOb24 and lipoprotein lipase mRNAs requires neither growth hormone or tri-iodothyronine as obligatory hormones nor insulin as a modulating hormone; 3) in mouse adipose tissue, pOb24 mRNA is present at a high level in stromal-vascular cells and at a low level in mature adipocytes, and in contrast LPL mRNAs are preferentially expressed in mature adipocytes. Thus, these two genes do not appear to be regulated in a similar manner, as also shown by the differential inhibition of their expression by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).

Abstract
Growth hormone regulates in a positive way the expression of the lipoprotein lipase gene at a transcriptional level in preadipocyte Ob1771 cells. Inhibition by serum components of this expression was investigated upon stimulation by growth hormone. Low-molecular weight, lipid-soluble components (a serum lipid extract, corticosteroids and oleic acid) and high-molecular weight, hydrophilic components (TGF-beta and those present in delipidated serum) were inhibitory. Inhibition of the expression of LPL mRNAs and that of LPL activity were parallel. It is concluded that the regulation of the expression of LPL gene occurs likely at a transcriptional level and that a balance between multiple effectors present in serum are active in an opposite manner.

Abstract
We have investigated the in vitro rate of replication and differentiation of preadipocytes derived from lean (+/+) and obese (cp/cp) male JCR:LA-corpulent (cp) rats in an attempt to identify mechanisms that regulate adipose tissue growth. Cp/cp rats were twofold heavier than age-matched lean rats by 9-10 mo. Cp/cp-derived preadipocytes demonstrated an inherently slower rate of replication than +/+ preadipocytes (population doubling time: cp/cp 52.3 +/- 9.6 h vs. +/+ 19.7 +/- 1.6 h), although the preadipocyte pool in the cp/cp was significantly greater. Cp/cp preadipocytes were resistant to hormonally induced differentiation (19.9 +/- 9.4% of cells accumulated lipid) but differentiated when cocultured with mature adipocytes to the same extent as preadipocytes derived from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (cp/cp 48.4 +/- 15.2% vs. SD 52.2 +/- 11.9%). In contrast, SD preadipocytes did not differentiate in response to mature adipocytes from +/+ rats (13.8 +/- 5.2%). Our observations suggest that preadipocyte replication and maturation may not be controlled in a coordinated manner.

Abstract
Stromal-vascular cells obtained from adult human subcutaneous adipose tissue were cultured in a chemically defined serum-free medium. In the presence of 0.2 nM triiodothyronine and 0.5 microM insulin, up to 25% of the cells were able to undergo terminal adipose differentiation within 18 d, as assessed by lipid accumulation and the expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activities. Addition of cortisol resulted in a potent dose-dependent stimulation of the adipose differentiation process. Cortisol could be replaced by dexamethasone and partly by aldosterone, but not by sex steroids. The proportion of differentiated cells was dependent upon the age of the donor; when isolated from young adults, up to 70% of the stromal-vascular cells expressed the adipocyte phenotype as compared with 5-10% when the cells were isolated from the oldest subjects. An inverse relationship was observed between the age of the 27 normal-weight donors and the extent of GPDH expression after maintenance of the cells for 18 d in chemically defined medium supplemented with insulin, triiodothyronine, and cortisol (r = -0.787, P less than 0.001). It is concluded that adult human adipose tissue still contains precursor cells that are able to undergo adipose differentiation in vitro. This improved culture system may offer the opportunity to characterize other adipogenic factors as well as antiadipogenic factors involved in the control of adipose tissue growth.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue responds rapidly to changes in the physiological state. To study what mechanisms are involved in the regulation, guinea pigs were fasted and the decrease in adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activity was compared with the decreases in mRNA and lipase synthesis. The mRNA pattern (three species) did not change. There was a close parallelism between the abundance of lipase mRNA and relative lipase synthesis (immunoprecipitable 35S-labelled lipoprotein lipase as fraction of total [35S]protein after pulse-labelling with [35S]methionine). Total protein synthesis decreased on fasting, compounding the decrease in relative lipase synthesis. Lipoprotein lipase mRNA changed similarly in fat-pads and in isolated adipocytes, whereas lipase activity changed more in the pads, indicating disproportionally large changes in extracellularly located lipase. In old guinea pigs the decreases in lipoprotein lipase activity and lipase synthesis were comparable, but in young animals the change in lipase activity was substantially larger than the change in lipase synthesis. Refeeding of fasted young guinea pigs with glucose resulted in a rapid increase in lipoprotein lipase activity, but there was only a small change in lipase mRNA. Old animals responded slowly to refeeding. The results indicate that in older animals the major mechanism for regulation of adipose lipoprotein lipase activity is a relatively slow change in lipase mRNA, whereas in younger animals an additional, more rapid, regulation is exerted on the transport and turnover of the enzyme.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the influence of mature adipocytes, derived from rat adipose tissue, on the replication and differentiation of preadipocytes in primary culture. Mature fat did not inhibit preadipocyte replication within the 6-d period studied. Preadipocyte differentiation, as assessed by both cytoplasmic lipid accretion and an increase in glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, was significantly stimulated by the presence of mature fat tissue or isolated adipocytes. The proportion of cells containing visible lipid droplets by oil red O staining was 47 +/- 10 to 58 +/- 10% (depending on the site of origin of the preadipocytes) when cocultured with mature fat compared with less than 1 to 2 +/- 1% when cultured in medium alone, while GPDH activity was 344 +/- 9 compared with 43 +/- 3 nM NADH/min per mg protein, respectively. This effect was not due to release of triacylglycerols from damaged adipocytes. Fatty acids added to the medium promoted lipid accumulation but did not stimulate a rise in GPDH activity. We concluded that mature adipocytes may release factor(s) that promote preadipocyte differentiation (and maturation).
