Comparison of gene expression profiles between human DFAT cells and ADSCs derived from same donors

ABSTRACT: Dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells, established in vitro from mature adipocytes, exhibit properties of multipotent mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), such as the ability to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages. Although DFAT cells exhibit certain properties of proliferative progeny, at present there is only limited knowledge about their characteristics as MSCs because those cells are considered to be potential artifacts of cell culture. To elucidate the identity of DFAT cells, we compared gene expression profiles of human DFAT cells and adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs) established using adipose tissue from the same donors. Microarray analysis showed that the global RNA expression profiles of human DFAT cells were very similar to those of ADSCs, a representative MSC, despite being committed adipocyte progenitors. Subcutaneous adipose tissues that were obtained during surgical operation for non-malignant disease were donated by 3 patients after obtaining informed consent. Three sets of DFAT cells and ADSCs, each derived from adipose tissue from the same donor were used for RNA extraction and subsequent microarray analysis.

Project description:Adipogenesis occurs through a specific gene program in undifferentiated fat progenitors. We hypothesized that the properties of the fat progenitors are regulated by hox genes, the developmental genes essential in different tissue stem cells. Their biased expression in white and brown fat implies roles in distinguishing the two fat types. Among 39 Hox genes, Hoxc8 is highly enriched in undifferentiated adipose tissue stem cells (ADSCs) and down-regulated in differentiated adipocytes. Forced expression of Hoxc8 suppressed adipocyte differentiation of ADSCs. Using microarrays, we investigated the effect of Hoxc8 overexpression on global transcripts in ADSCs. We compared among four groups: untreated ADSCs, adipogenic induction media (MDI)-treated ADSCs, MDI-treated ADSC-vector and MDI-treated ADSC-Hoxc8. A number of, but not all, adipogenesis-related genes are suppressed by Hoxc8. This dataset illustrates the global effect of Hoxc8, a developmental transcription factor, on the expression of adipogenesis-related genes. Gene expression was compared among untreated ADSCs (control), adipogenic induction media-treated ADSCs, adipogenic induction media-treated ADSC-vector (ADSCs transduced with control vector), and adipogenic induction media-treated ADSC-Hoxc8 (ADSCs transduced with human Hoxc8). Total RNA was isolated from ADSCs using the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen). At NimbleGen, quality and yield were verified before cDNA synthesis and Cy3-end labeling. The labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to Homo sapiens 4-Plex arrays (Roche NimbleGen, A4487001-00-01) that represent 24,000 human genes. Raw data files for each sample were normalized and background-corrected using a Robust Multi-Array Analysis as implemented by NimbleScan software. Students’ two-tail t-tests were conducted among the samples for each transcript and fold-change was determined. Transcripts whose abundance was significantly altered (P < 0.05) and an absolute fold change greater than 2 were defined as differentially regulated.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are cultured cells that can give rise to mature mesenchymal cells under appropriate conditions, and secrete a number of biologically relevant molecules that may play an important role in regenerative medicine. Evidence indicates that pericytes (PCs) correspond to mesenchymal stem cells in vivo and can give rise to MSCs when cultured, but a comparison between the gene expression profiles of cultured PCs (cPCs) and MSCs is lacking. We have devised a novel methodology to isolate PCs from human adipose tissue, and compared cPCs to MSCs obtained through traditional methods. Freshly isolated PCs expressed CD34, CD140b, and CD271 on their surface, but not CD146. Both MSCs and cPCs were able to differentiate along mesenchymal pathways in vitro, displayed an essentially identical surface immunophenotype, and exhibited the ability to suppress CD3+ lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Microarray expression data of cPCs and MSCs formed a single cluster among other cell types. Further analyses showed that the gene expression profiles of cPCs and MSCs are extremely similar, although MSCs differentially expressed endothelial cell-specific transcripts. These results confirm, using the power of transcriptomic analysis, that PCs give rise to MSCs, and suggest that low levels of endothelial cells may persist in MSC cultures established using traditional protocols. Highly purified human adipose-tissue pericytes (AT3G5Cs) were isolated based on the expression of the antigen detected by the 3G5 antibody, lack of expression of CD31, and ability to adhere to tissue-cultured plastic whithin a short time. The in vitro properties of cultured AT3G5Cs were compared to those of adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells (ATMSCs) obtained through traditional methods. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs (n = 3 different biological samples) and ATMSCs (n = 3 different biological samples) were compared to each other by statistical analyses. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs and ATMSCs were compared to those of other cell types by clustering analyses.
