Adipose-derived stem cells contribute to vascular remodeling via Clec11a+ subpopulation

ABSTRACT: Recent researches identified the existence of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) in adipose tissue. Perivascular ADSCs (PV-ADSCs) locate around vasculatures and can differentiate into vascular lineages. However, the detailed cellular heterogeneity within PV-ADSCs has not been investigated. Therefore, we performed single-cell profiling of subcutaneous (S-) and perivascular (PV-) ADSCs from wild-type and obese mice. After referring to the clustering strategies from other ADSCs’ single-cell data, we provided a more comprehensive picture and trajectory, especially for PV-ADSCs. Both single-cell analysis and in vitro experiments revealed that S-ADSCs from obese mice had impaired abilities of cell migration and proliferation compared to wild-type S-ADSCs. PV-ADSCs have distinctively intrinsic properties. We uncovered 4 subpopulations of PV-ADSCs including Dpp4+, Col4a2+, Clec11a+ and Sult1e1+ cells. Notably, the differentiative function of PV-ADSCs towards vascular lineages was mainly attributed to the existence of Clec11a+ subpopulation, which highly expressed Mgp. The present study provided an integrative view of the ADSCs’ variance from the perspective of origins and obesity.

Project description:Thoracic perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a unique adipose depot that likely influences vascular function and susceptibility to pathogenesis in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Surprisingly, PVAT has been reported to share characteristics of both brown and white adipose, but a detailed direct comparison to interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) has not been performed. Here we show by full genome DNA microarray analysis that global gene expression profiles of PVAT are virtually identical to BAT, with equally high expression of Ucp-1, Cidea and other genes known to be uniquely or very highly expressed in BAT. PVAT and BAT also displayed nearly identical phenotypes upon immunohistochemical analysis, and electron microscopy confirmed that PVAT contained multilocular lipid droplets and abundant mitochondria. Compared to white adipose tissue (WAT), PVAT and BAT from C57BL/6 mice fed a high fat diet for 13 weeks had markedly lower expression of immune cell-enriched mRNAs, suggesting resistance to obesity-induced inflammation. Indeed, staining of BAT and PVAT for macrophage markers (F4/80, CD68) in obese mice showed virtually no macrophage infiltration, and FACS analysis of BAT confirmed the presence of very few CD11b+/CD11c+ macrophages in BAT (1.0%) in comparison to WAT (31%). In summary, murine PVAT from the thoracic aorta is virtually identical to interscapular BAT, is resistant to diet-induced macrophage infiltration, and thus may play an important role in protecting the vascular bed from thermal and inflammatory stress. 8-week-old male C57BL6/J mice were fed a normal (ND) or high fat diet (HFD) (Research Diets 12451, 45 kcal% fat) for 13 weeks. Mice were then euthanized and four different adipose depots were harvested for RNA analysis: perivascular fat from the lesser curvature of the aortic arch (PVAT), interscapular brown adipose (BAT), inguinal adipose tissue (SAT), and epididymal adipose tissue (VAT). 250 ng total RNA pooled from two mice was used for cDNA synthesis; 3 biological replicates per tissue and diet were performed for a total of 24 hybridizations.
