Abstract (original English)

Differentiation of adipose progenitor cells into mature adipocytes entails a dramatic reorganization of the cellular architecture to accommodate lipid storage into cytoplasmic lipid droplets. Lipid droplets occupy most of the adipocyte volume, compressing the nucleus beneath the plasma membrane. How this cellular remodeling affects sub-nuclear structure, including size and number of nucleoli, remains unclear. We describe the morphological remodeling of the nucleus and the nucleolus during in vitro adipogenic differentiation of primary human adipose stem cells. We find that cell cycle arrest elicits a remodeling of nucleolar structure which correlates with a decrease in protein synthesis. Strikingly, triggering cytoskeletal rearrangements mimics the nucleolar remodeling observed during adipogenesis. Our results point to nucleolar remodeling as an active, mechano-regulated mechanism during adipogenic differentiation and demonstrate a key role of the actin cytoskeleton in defining nuclear and nucleolar architecture in differentiating human adipose stem cells.
