Objectives. (1) To examine depot-specific PGE2and PGF2αrelease and mRNA expression of enzymes or receptors involved in PG synthesis or signaling in human adipose tissues; (2) to identify changes in expression of these transcripts through preadipocyte differentiation; and (3) to examine associations between adipose tissue mRNA expression of these transcripts and adiposity measurements.Methods. Fat samples were obtained surgically in women. PGE2and PGF2αrelease by preadipocytes and adipose tissue explants was measured. Expression levels of mRNA coding for enzymes or receptors involved in PG synthesis or signaling were measured by RT-PCR.Results. Cultured preadipocytes and explants from omental fat released more PGE2and PGF2αthan those from the subcutaneous depot and the corresponding transcripts showed consistent depot differences. Following preadipocyte differentiation, expression of PLA2G16 and PTGER3 mRNA was significantly increased whereas COX-1, COX-2, PTGIS, and PTGES mRNA abundance were decreased in both compartments (P≤0.01for all). Transcripts that were stimulated during adipogenesis were those that correlated best with adiposity measurements.Conclusion. Cells from the omental fat compartment release more PGE2and PGF2αthan those from the subcutaneous depot. Obesity modulates expression of PG-synthesizing enzymes and PG receptors which likely occurs through adipogenesis-induced changes in expression of these transcripts.

To examine the effect of high dose vitamin D3 treatment on visceral adipose tissue, we used vitamin D deficient male Wistar rats (18 months old) as a model of sarcopenia. The aging process is not only responsive for the losing muscle mass but also for redistribution of lipid resulting in altered fatty acid storage and dysdifferentiation of mesenchymal precursors. The effect of aging and vitamin D treatment (weekly oral gavage with 0.125 mg vitamin D3 (5000 IU)/100g body weight) on the omental adipose tissue were histological examinated. At the end of the experiment (9 monhs), adaptive changes to the reduction of adipogenesis and increased apoptosis in response to long-term treatment with vitamin D consisted of smaller size of adipocyte and moderate macrophage infiltrate.

Background: Reducing the healing time of wounds can decrease the patient`s immobility time and their medical costs,leading a faster return of the patients to daily work. Objective: To compare the effect of adipose-derived stem cells and curcumin-containing liposomal nanoparticles with phenytoin on wound healing. Method: After anesthesia of the rats, open skin ulcers were made by a bistoury blade.Subsequently,stem cells were re-moved from the adipose tissue of theupper border of the epididymis. Then,the originality of stem cells was confirmed by the flow cytometry. The fusion method was used to prepare the liposome;and also nanoliposomal particles wereconfirmedby using the DLS microscope.The percentage of recovery and the cell count was measured with IMAGEJ.The expression of genes was assessed by PCR. The number of fibro blasts was counted by immuno histo chemistry techniques.The amount of collagen was determined by Tri-chromosome staining and the number of capillaries was enumerated byH & E staining. Results: The expression of TGF-β1 gene, vascular number, wound healing rate and the numberof fibroblasts increased significantly in adipose tissue-derived stem cells and curcumin nanoliposome groups(p<0.05);the wound surface was also decreased significantly(p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of our research, adipose tissue-derived stem cells and curcumin nanoliposomescan heal wounds efficiently.

AbstractIt is generally accepted that the location of body fat deposits may play an important role in the risk of developing some endocrine and metabolic diseases. We have studied the effect of food restriction and food restriction/refeeding, often practiced by individuals trying to lose body weight, on the expression of genes which are associated with obesity and certain metabolic disorders in inguinal, epididymal, and perirenal rat white adipose tissues. Gene expression was analyzed by real time semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and by Western blot. We found that prolonged food restriction caused a significant decrease of body and adipose tissue mass as well as the increase of Scd1 and Elovl6 gene expressions in all main rat adipose tissue deposits. Food restriction/refeeding caused increases of: a) Scd1 and Elovl6 mRNA levels in adipose tissue, b) Scd1 protein level and c) desaturation index in adipose tissue. The increased expression of both genes was unusually high in inguinal adipose tissue. The results suggest that the increase of Scd1 and Elovl6 gene expressions in white adipose tissue by prolonged food restriction and prolonged food restriction/refeeding may contribute to accelerated fat recovery that often occurs in individuals after food restriction/refeeding.

AbstractSixteen-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were sacrificed aboard the International Space Station after 37 days of flight (RR-1 mission) and frozen carcasses returned to Earth. RNA was isolated from interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) and gonadal white adipose tissue (WAT). Spaceflight resulted in differential expression of genes in BAT consistent with increased non-shivering thermogenesis and differential expression of genes in WAT consistent with increased glucose uptake and metabolism, adipogenesis, and β-oxidation.
