AbstractAdipose tissue is an organized endocrine organ with important metabolic and immunological functions and immune cell-adipocyte crosstalk is known to drive various disease pathologies. Suitable 3D adipose tissue organoid models often lack resident immune cell populations and therefore require the addition of immune cells isolated from other organs. We have created the first 3D adipose tissue organoid model which could contain and maintain resident immune cell populations of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and proved to be effective in studying adipose tissue biology in a convenient manner. Macrophage and mast cell populations were successfully confirmed within our organoid model and were maintained in culture without the addition of growth factors. We demonstrated the suitability of our model for monitoring the lipidome during adipocyte differentiation in vitro and confirmed that this model reflects the physiological lipidome better than standard 2D cultures. In addition, we applied mass spectrometry-based lipidomics to track lipidomic changes in the lipidome upon dietary and immunomodulatory interventions. We conclude that this model represents a valuable tool for immune-metabolic research.

The Impact

Objective: Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of several chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Proper fat storage in white adipose tissue (WAT) is required to maintain insulin sensitivity and to preserve (cardio)vascular health. We hypothesize that endothelial and adipocyte progenitor cell populations (EPCs and APCs, respectively) must be appropriately balanced for physiological, as opposed to pathological, remodeling of WAT. Methods and Results: To determine the impact of nutrient excess on stem/progenitor cells in epididymal WAT, male C57BL/6J mice were placed on a high fat diet (HFD; 60% fat) for 12 weeks and changes in WAT stem cell populations were measured in the stromal vascular fraction by flow cytometry. Although the APC (CD24+/CD29+/Sca+/CD14-/CD45-) population, which has the capacity to differentiate into adipocytes both in vitro and in vivo , was not significantly changed with diet, Flk+/Sca+ EPCs were diminished, promoting a 4-fold decrease in the EPC/APC ratio (p <0.05, n = 6/group). To determine whether this deficit may be due to poor stem cell recruitment, mice were irradiated, and the bone marrow was repopulated with GFP+ donor marrow. The transplanted mice were then placed on a low fat diet (LFD; 10% fat) or HFD for 12 weeks, and WAT progenitor cells were again measured. Greater than 95% of the putative APCs in the WAT of HF-fed mice were GFP+ (p<0.0001, n=7-8/group), indicating a bone marrow-derived origin. Unexpectedly, less than 1% of the EPCs were GFP+ (p<0.001, n=7-8/group), which suggests that EPCs present in WAT are not derived from bone marrow in adult mice. Confocal analysis of WAT from HF-fed, bone marrow-transplanted mice showed little evidence of significant APC differentiation into triglyceride-laden adipocytes, suggesting that conditions associated with nutrient excess may impair the ability of the adipose organ to store fat properly. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that putative APCs, and not EPCs, in epididymal WAT are derived from bone marrow. Furthermore, our data suggest that conditions of nutrient excess promote an imbalance in EPCs and APCs, the stoichiometry of which may be critical for the development of new adipocytes and for proper storage of fat.

AbstractGathering a better grasp on the adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is demanding among clinicians for osteoarthritis (OA) care because of its promising but multifaceted clinical outcomes. The aim of this preclinical in vitro study was to test whether the mechanical approach with Hy-Tissue SVF system, a class IIa CE marked device of adipose tissue micro-fragmentation, influences the biological features and functions of SVF. We compared mechanical generated-SVF (mSVF) with the enzymatic generated-SVF (eSVF) by testing cell survival, phenotype, differentiation, and paracrine properties using ELISA assays. Both adipose SVF showed 80% viable cells and enrichment for CD-44 marker. The mSVF product preserved the functions of cell populations within the adipose tissue; however, it displayed lowered nucleated cell recovery and CFU-F than eSVF. As for multipotency, mSVF and eSVF showed similar differentiation commitment for osteochondral lineages. Both adipose SVF exhibited an increased release of VEGF, HGF, IGF-1 and PDGF-bb, involved in pathways mediating osteochondral repair and cell migration. Both mSVF and eSVF also displayed high release for the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. After in vitro culture, supernatants from both mSVF and eSVF groups showed a low release of cytokines except for IL-10, thereby giving evidence of functional changes after culture expansion. In this study, mSVF showed active cell populations in the adipose tissue comparable to eSVF with excellent survival, differentiation and paracrine properties under a new mechanical adipose tissue micro-fragmentation system; thereby suggesting its potential use as a minimally invasive technique for OA treatment.

A detailed understanding of the mechanism of protein synthesis will ultimately depend on knowledge of the native structure of the ribosome. Towards this end we have investigated the low resolution structure of the eukaryotic ribosome embedded in frozen buffer, making use of a system in which the ribosomes crystallize naturally.The ribosomes in the cells of early chicken embryos form crystalline arrays when the embryos are cooled at 4°C. We have developed methods to isolate the stable unit of these arrays, the ribosome tetramer, and have determined conditions for the growth of two-dimensional crystals in vitro, Analysis of the proteins in the crystals by 2-D gel electrophoresis demonstrates the presence of all ribosomal proteins normally found in polysomes. There are in addition, four proteins which may facilitate crystallization. The crystals are built from two oppositely facing P4 layers and the predominant crystal form, accounting for >80% of the crystals, has the tetragonal space group P4212, X-ray diffraction of crystal pellets demonstrates that crystalline order extends to ~ 60Å.

SummaryThe variability of the platelet GP Ia/IIa density has been associated with the 807 C/T polymorphism (Phe 224) of the GP Ia gene in American Caucasian population. We have investigated the genotype and allelic frequencies of this polymorphism in Spanish Caucasians. The T allele was found in 35% of the 284 blood donors analyzed. We confirmed in 159 healthy subjects a significant association between the 807 C/T polymorphism and the platelet GP Ia density. The T allele correlated with high number of GP Ia molecules on platelet surface. In addition, we observed a similar association of this polymorphism with the expression of this protein in other blood cell types. The platelet responsiveness to collagen was determined by “in vitro” analysis of the platelet activation and aggregation response. We found no significant differences in these functional platelet parameters according to the 807 C/T genotype. Finally, results from 3 case/control studies involving 302 consecutive patients (101 with coronary heart disease, 104 with cerebrovascular disease and 97 with deep venous thrombosis) determined that the 807 C/T polymorphism of the GP Ia gene does not represent a risk factor for arterial or venous thrombosis.
