Comparison of Gene Expression between stromal vascular cells (SVC) and newly identified adipose precursor (SPA)

ABSTRACT: We have identified proliferative cells in adipose tissue expressing adipocyte specific genes, which were named small proliferative adipocytes (SPA). Comparison of gene expression by microarray and real time PCR among stromal vascular cells (SVC), SPA and mature adipocyte (MA) revealed that adipocyte specific genes and several neuronal genes were increased in the order of SVC < SPA < MWA. However, proliferin 2 (PLF) was detected only in SPA. We found that SPA changed to lipid laden cells by incubation with differentiation medium containing insulin/dexamethasone/IBMX. In this study, we investigated the gene expression of differentiated SPA (D-SPA) comparing with differentiated SVC (D-SVC). Further study using microarrays and real time PCR revealed that uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and PLF were strongly expressed in D-SPA. These data suggested that SPA might be able to differentiate into beige cells.
