Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells able to differentiate into multiple cell types, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. The role of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in cancers is significantly relevant. They seem to be involved in the promotion of tumour development and progression and relapse processes. For this reason, investigating the effects of breast cancer microenvironment on ADSCs is of high importance in order to understand the relationship between tumour cells and the surrounding stromal cells. With the current study, we aimed to investigate the specific characteristics of human ADSCs isolated from the adipose tissue of breast tumour patients. We compared ADSCs obtained from periumbilical fat (PF) of controls with ADSCs obtained from adipose tissue of breast cancer- (BC-) bearing patients. We analysed the surface antigens and the adipogenic differentiation ability of both ADSC populations. C/EBPδ expression was increased in PF and BC ADSCs induced to differentiate compared to the control while PPARγ and FABP4 expressions were enhanced only in PF ADSCs. Conversely, adiponectin expression was reduced in PF-differentiated ADSCs while it was slightly increased in differentiated BC ADSCs. By means of Oil Red O staining, we further observed an impaired differentiation capability of BC ADSCs. To investigate this aspect more in depth, we evaluated the effect of selective PPARγ activation and nutritional supplementation on the differentiation efficiency of BC ADSCs, noting that it was only with a strong differentiation stimuli that the process took place. Furthermore, we observed no response in BC ADSCs to the PPARγ inhibitor T0070907, showing an impaired activation of this receptor in adipose cells surrounding the breast cancer microenvironment. In conclusion, our study shows an impaired adipogenic differentiation capability in BC ADSCs. This suggests that the tumour microenvironment plays a key role in the modulation of the adipose microenvironment located in the surrounding tissue.

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.

Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) are multipotent mesenchymal cells that can differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes. During osteoblastogenesis, the osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into mature osteoblasts and synthesize bone matrix components. Zinc finger protein 521 (ZNF521/Zfp521) is a transcription co-factor implicated in the regulation of hematopoietic, neural, and mesenchymal stem cells, where it has been shown to inhibit adipogenic differentiation. The present study is aimed at determining the effects of ZNF521 on the osteoblastic differentiation of hADSCs to clarify whether it can influence their osteogenic commitment. The enforced expression or silencing of ZNF521 in hADSCs was achieved by lentiviral vector transduction. Cells were cultured in a commercial osteogenic medium for up to 20 days. The ZNF521 enforced expression significantly reduced osteoblast development as assessed by the morphological and molecular criteria, resulting in reduced levels of collagen I, alkaline phosphatase, osterix, osteopontin, and calcium deposits. Conversely, ZNF521 silencing, in response to osteoblastic stimuli, induced a significant increase in early molecular markers of osteogenesis and, at later stages, a remarkable enhancement of matrix mineralization. Together with our previous findings, these results show that ZNF521 inhibits both adipocytic and osteoblastic maturation in hADSCs and suggest that its expression may contribute to maintaining the immature properties of hADSCs.


Cartilage regenerative medicine has been met with much interest due to their ability to inhibit disease progression of osteoarthritis (OA). The use of adipose-derived stem cells has been suggested as a reliable method for OA treatment because of their potential to differentiate into a variety of cell lines and their potent capability to self-renewal and repair. The aim of this study is to assess adipose-derived stem cells in combination with PRP ability in treating a patient with knee OA. A 53-year- old man with osteoarthritis was selected for this treatment. Human abdominal subcutaneous adipose sample was obtained from a patient with knee OA. Stem cells were obtained from adipose tissue of abdominal origin by digesting lipoaspirate tissue with collagenase. ADSCs cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Also, ADSCs expanded and characterized by flow cytometry. These stem cells, along with platelet-rich plasma and calcium chloride, were injected into the right knee. Pre-treatment and post-treatment MRI scans, physical therapy, and pain score data were then analyzed. The MRI data for the patient demonstrated significant positive changes. Probable cartilage regeneration was sensible in the patient. Along with MRI evidence, the measured physical therapy outcomes, subjective pain, and functional status all improved. Autologous adipose-derived stem cell injection, in conjunction with platelet-rich plasma is a promising minimally invasive therapy for osteoarthritis of human knees. The present clinical case report demonstrated that a combination of percutaneous injection of autologous ADSCs and PRPmay be able to regenerate cartilage in human knee OA.
