Adipose tissue depots originate from distinct precursor cells, are functionally diverse, and modulate disease processes in a depot-specific manner. However, the functional properties of perivascular adipocytes, and their influence on disease of the blood vessel wall, remain to be determined. We show that human coronary perivascular adipocytes exhibit a reduced state of adipocytic differentiatio...

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are excellent for regenerative medicine. Like mesenchymal stem cells, ADSCs possess multi-potent differentiation capacity that enables them to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes, as well as trans-differentiation into other cells. ADSC transplantation has gained attention in recent years, especially in vitro expanded ADSC transplantatio...

Arm grooves of star-fish have mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue cell. Widespread studies have shown that stem cells derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell from bone marrow have many similarities in terms of the ability to differentiate into a variety of tissues. Most of the animals live in warm and shallow waters and the waters of this feature is that it is low in d...

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated tissue engineering represents a promising strategy to address adipose tissue defects. MSCs derived from Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord (WJCMSCs) may serve as an ideal source for adipose tissue engineering due to their abundance, safety profile, and accessibility. How to activate the directed differentiation potentials of WJCMSCs is the core point for ...

To investigate the role of claudin-6 in adipogenesis, claudin-6 mRNA was examined in adipose tissues and adipocyte differentiation. Claudin-6 mRNA was found to be differentially expressed in four different adipose tissues, and up-regulated in each fat depot of mice fed a high-fat diet as compared to a normal-fat diet. Levels of claudin-6 transcripts were increased during differentiation of 3T3-...

obesity is an important public health problem and major risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. adipose tissue is the major component involved in the control of the metabolism through energy homeostasis, adipocyte differentiation, insulin sensitivity and the activation of anti-inflammatory metabolic and immune pathways. leptin and adiponectin pathways are involved in proliferation process...

Overweight characterized by inappropriate expansion of adipose cells (hypertrophic obesity) is associated with the metabolic syndrome and is caused by an inability to recruit and differentiate new precursor cells. We examined the role of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and WNT activation in the regulation of human adipose cell differentiation. Cluster of differentiation (CD)14(+)/45(+) and ...

Objective: MafA has been recognized as a specific pancreatic β-cells activator for Insulin expression. This study investigated the changes in glucose transport and consumption by MafA-positive Insulin-producing cells resulting from differentiation of rat adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Methods: Adipose were differentiated into 14-day protocol using nicotinamide ITS. The ability t...

The regulation of site and rate of fat deposition in cattle is not well defined. The study objective was to investigate adipogenic differentiation state-specific gene expression in feedlot cattle (>75% Angus; <25% Simmental parentage) of varying adipose accretion patterns. Four groups of 4 steers were selected from a group of 80 steers via ultrasound to have low backfat-low intramuscular fat (L...
