Abstract (original English)

The adipogenic property of decellularized adipose-derived matrix (DAM) varies widely across reports, making it difficult to make a horizontal comparison between reports and posing challenges for the stable clinical translation of DAM. It is possibly due to differences in donor characteristics, but the exact relationship remains unclear. Despite extensive research on the differences between superficial and deep layers of abdominal subcutaneous fat, a main donor of DAM, little is known about their extracellular matrix (ECM) which is promising in regenerative medicine. In this study, we first confirmed the distinct compositional profiles and adipogenic potential between superficial and deep DAM (S-DAM and D-DAM). Both in vitro and in vivo assays confirmed superior adipogenic induction potential in S-DAM over D-DAM. Total amounts of ECM proteins like collagen and laminin were similar, however, the predominant types differed, with collagen I dominating S-DAM and collagen XIV prevailing in D-DAM. S-DAM was enriched with mitochondrial and immunological proteins, whereas D-DAM featured more neuronal, vascular, muscular, and endocrine-related proteins. More proteins involved in mRNA processing were found in D-DAM, with Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) analysis revealing HNRNPA2B1, HNRNPA1, and HNRNPC as the most tightly interacting members. These findings not only deepen our comprehens
