AbstractAdipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are a promising option for the treatment of obesity and its metabolic co-morbidities. Despite the recent identification of brown adipose tissue (BAT) as a potential target in the management of obesity, the use of ASCs isolated from BAT as a therapy for patients with obesity has not yet been explored. Metabolic activation of BAT has been shown to have not only thermogenic effects, but it also triggers the secretion of factors that confer protection against obesity. Herein, we isolated and characterized ASCs from the visceral adipose tissue surrounding a pheochromocytoma (IB-hASCs), a model of inducible BAT in humans. We then compared the anti-obesity properties of IB-hASCs and human ASCs isolated from visceral white adipose tissue (W-hASCs) in a murine model of diet-induced obesity. We found that both ASC therapies mitigated the metabolic abnormalities of obesity to a similar extent, including reducing weight gain and improving glucose tolerance. However, infusion of IB-hASCs was superior to W-hASCs in suppressing lipogenic and inflammatory markers, as well as preserving insulin secretion. Our findings provide evidence for the metabolic benefits of visceral ASC infusion and support further studies on IB-hASCs as a therapeutic option for obesity-related comorbidities.

Abstract BackgroundTwo types of adipose tissue, white adipose and brown adipose, have been identified in mammals. For goat, adipose tissue also plays an important role in improving meat and milk quality. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a member of natriuretic peptide family. Once CNP binds to natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B), NPR-B induces the production of cGMP, thereby activating PKG and downstream targets. The expression of CNP and NPR-B in adipose tissue led to a hypothesis that CNP could have roles involving in regulation of adipogenesis in goat. However, there are few studies on the relationship between CNP and adipogenesis in goat. In the present study, goat adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) were isolated and employed to investigate the effect of CNP on adipogenesis in goat.ResultsDuring adipogenic differentiation in goat ADSCs, the expression of NPR-B increased at 4 d and 8 d and reduced at 12 d after differentiation. When goat ADSCs were treated with 100 nM and 1000 nM CNP during adipogenic differentiation, there are more accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm and the up-regulation in the expression of adipogenesis relative genes including PPAR-γ, FASN and LPL. Interestingly, the expression level of brown adipose genes UCP-1 and PGC-1α were also up-regulated. Furthermore, the cGMP level was increased after treatment with CNP. Adding cGMP analogues 8-pCPT-cGMP (PKG activator) could increase adipogenesis efficiency, and adding both PKG inhibitor Rp-8-CPT-cGMP and CNP inhibited adipogenic differentiation. After treatment with CNP or PKG activator, the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, MK2 and ATF2 were up-regulated, and their phosphorylation were significantly inhibited when CNP and PKG inhibitor were added simultaneously. SB203580 is the specific inhibitor for p38 MAPK. After treatment with CNP and SB203580 simultaneously, the adipogenic differentiation efficiency of goat ADSCs was significantly inhibited, and the expression of UCP-1 and PGC-1α were also reduced. ConclusionsCNP could promote adipogenic differentiation of goat ADSCs. The stimulative effect of CNP on adipose differentiation depends on the cGMP/PKG/ p38 MAPK signal pathway. Our study will be helpful to understand the regulation mechanism of goat adipose differentiation, especially brown adipose differentiation.
