The development of treatments using stem cells has drawn the attention of researchers to fat deposits given the fact they represent an almost unlimited reservoir of such cells, which can be accessed through minimally invasive techniques. However, the standardization of these studies has been made difficult because of the controversies of nomenclature regarding the many components of adipose tissue. Despite their distinct and independent structures with different metabolic responses, the terms hypodermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue are many times used as synonyms. However, the correct distinction between these two layers, the knowledge of their behavior and an uniformity of these terminologies are of utmost importance.             Thus, the purpose of this study was to make a bibliographic review on the theme, aiming to show the anatomical, histological and metabolic differences between these two tissues and standardize their nomenclature.

Falciform ligaments in the liver are surrounded by adipose tissue. We investigated the capability of adipose-derived stem cells from human liver falciform ligaments (hLF-ADSCs) to differentiate into hepatic-type cells and confirmed the functional capacity of the cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from the liver falciform ligament and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy for liver disease. Cells were cultivated in MSC culture medium. Properties of MSCs were confirmed by flow cytometry, RT-PCR analysis, immunocytochemistry assays, and multilineage differentiation. Hepatic induction was performed using a three-step differentiation protocol with various growth factors. Morphology, capacity for expansion, and characteristics were similar between hLF-ADSCs and adipose-derived stem cells from human abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (hAS-ADSCs). However, hematopoietic– and mesenchymal–epithelial transition (MET)-related surface markers (CD133, CD34, CD45, and E-cadherin) had a higher expression in hLF-ADSCs. The hepatic induction marker genes had a higher expression in hLF-ADSCs on days 7 and 10 after the hepatic induction. Albumin secretion was similar between hLF-ADSCs and hAS-ADSCs at 20 days after the hepatic induction. The hLF-ADSCs had a different pattern of surface marker expression relative to hAS-ADSCs. However, proliferation, multilineage capacity, and hepatic induction were similar between the cell types. Accordingly, it may be a useful source of MSCs for patients with liver disease.

Abstract Background In human subcutaneous adipose tissue, the superficial fascia distinguishes superficial and deep microenvironments showing extensions called retinacula cutis. The superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue has been described as hyperplastic and the deep subcutaneous adipose tissue as inflammatory. However, few studies have described stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) content and adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) behavior derived from superficial and deep subcutaneous adipose tissue. In this study, we analyzed a third conjunctive microenvironment: the retinacula cutis superficialis derived from superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue. Methods The samples of abdominal human subcutaneous adipose tissue were obtained during plastic aesthetic surgery in France (Declaration DC-2008-162) and Brazil (Protocol 145/09). Results The SVF content was characterized in situ by immunofluorescence and ex vivo by flow cytometry revealing a high content of pre-adipocytes rather in superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue microenvironment. Adipogenic assays revealed higher percentage of lipid accumulation area in ASCs from superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue compared with retinacula cutis superficialis (p < 0.0001) and deep subcutaneous adipose tissue (p < 0.0001). The high adipogenic potential of superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue was corroborated by an up-regulation of adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4) compared with retinacula cutis superficialis (p < 0.0001) and deep subcutaneous adipose tissue (p < 0.0001) and of C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha) compared with retinacula cutis superficialis (p < 0.0001) and deep subcutaneous adipose tissue (p < 0.0001) microenvironments. Curiously, ASCs from retinacula cutis superficialis showed a higher level of adiponectin receptor gene compared with superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue (p = 0.0409), widely known as an anti-inflammatory hormone. Non-induced ASCs from retinacula cutis superficialis showed higher secretion of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), compared with superficial (p = 0.0485) and deep (p = 0.0112) subcutaneous adipose tissue and with adipogenic-induced ASCs from superficial (p = 0.0175) and deep (p = 0.0328) subcutaneous adipose tissue. Furthermore, ASCs from retinacula cutis superficialis showed higher secretion of Chemokine (C–C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) compared with non-induced (p = 0.0029) and induced (p = 0.0089) superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue. Conclusions This study highlights the contribution to ASCs from retinacula cutis superficialis in their angiogenic property previously described for the whole superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue besides supporting its adipogenic potential for superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue.

The quantity and accessibility of subcutaneous adipose tissue in humans make it an attractive alternative to bone marrow as a source of adult stem cells for therapeutic purposes. However, before such a cell source substitution can be proposed, the properties of stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSC) and bone marrow (BMSC), and their differentiated progeny must be compared in an animal model, such as swine, that adequately simulates the structure and physiology of humans. The objective of this work was to induce adult porcine stem cells isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue and bone marrow to differentiate in vitro along the adipogenic lineage and to compare their transcript profile properties. ADSC and BMSC were isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue and femurs of adult pigs, respectively, and differentiated along the adipogenic lineage using specific inducing medium. Cells were incubated up to 4 weeks with medium replaced every 3 days. Histological staining with Oil Red O was performed at 0, 2, 4, 7, 14, 21, 28 days of differentiation (dd) to confirm the adipogenic differentiation. RNA was also extracted at these time points. qPCR was performed on PPARG, DBI, ACSL1, CD36, CEBPA, DGAT2, ADFP, ADIPOQ, SCD. The geometrical mean of GTF2H3, NUBP, and PPP2CB was used as an internal control. Gene expression was analyzed using a mixed model of SAS with repeated time. The adipogenic differentiation of both ADSC and BMSC was confirmed by the Oil Red O positive staining. The relative mRNA abundance of all the genes at dd0 was similar between the ADSC and BMSC. The relative mRNA abundance of most of the genes was also similar between ADSC and BMSC throughout the adipogenic differentiation. ACSL1 and ADIPOQ had analogous expression patterns among the cell types. ACSL1 had relatively large mRNA abundance before differentiation, but ADIPOQ was barely detectable. As a consequence of differentiation, ACSL1 increased in relative mRNA abundance about 10-fold, whereas ADIPOQ mRNA increased about 1000-fold. Temporal expression patterns of SCD, DGAT2, and ADFP were similar. The increase in gene expression was >800% for SCD, >500% for ADFP, and >50 000% for DGAT2 after 7dd. ADSC had significantly higher expression of those genes compared to BMSC at 14 and 28dd. Both ADIPOQ and DGAT2 were almost undetectable prior to differentiation. mRNA expression of CD36 and DBI was similar with a significantly larger increase in expression of ADSC compared with BMSC. Relative mRNA abundance of CEBPA and PPARG was also larger in ADSC compared with BMSC; however, BMSC had a remarkable increase in temporal expression of those genes throughout adipogenic differentiation. These results suggest both cell types can differentiate towards the adipogenic lineage but with quantitatively different gene expression patterns. More investigation is needed before the ADSC can be considered a practical alternative source for stem cells in future human clinical applications.
