PIK3CA mutations enhance the adipogenesis of ADSCs in facial infiltrating lipomatosis through TRPV1.

ABSTRACT: Facial infiltrating lipomatosis (FIL) is a congenital disorder. The pathogenesis of FIL is associated with PIK3CA mutations, but the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined. We found that the adipose tissue in FIL demonstrated adipocytes hypertrophy and increased lipid accumulation. All adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from FIL (FIL-ADSCs) harbored PIK3CA mutations. Moreover, FIL-ADSCs exhibited a greater capacity for adipogenesis. Knockdown of PIK3CA resulted in a reduction in the adipogenic potential of FIL-ADSCs. Furthermore, WX390, a dual-target PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, was found to impede PIK3CA-mediated adipogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed that the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid s
