Abstract (original English)

Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue depots have distinct features and contribute differentially to the development of metabolic dysfunction. We show here that adipocyte differentiation in subcutaneous stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) is increased compared to visceral SVF, however this increased differentiation capacity seems not to be due to changes in the number of adipocyte precursor cells. Rather, we demonstrate that secreted heat-sensitive factors from the SVF can inhibit adipocyte differentiation and that this effect is higher in visceral than in subcutaneous SVF, suggesting that visceral SVF is a source of secreted factors that can inhibit adipocyte formation. In order to explore secreted proteins that potentially inhibit differentiation in visceral preadipocytes we analyzed the secretome of both SVFs which led to the identification of 113 secreted proteins with an overlap of 42%. Further expression analysis in both depots revealed 16 candidates that were subsequently analyzed in a differentiation screen using an adenoviral knockdown system. From this analysis we were able to identify two potential inhibitory candidates, namely decorin (Dcn) and Sparc-like 1 (Sparcl1). We could show that ablation of either candidate enhanced adipogenesis in visceral preadipocytes, while treatment of primary cultures with recombinant Sparcl1 and Dcn blocked adipogenesis in a dose depen

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is preclinical work; animal or laboratory results cannot be applied to humans.
