Glucocorticoids and Insulin Promote the Differentiation of Human Adipocyte Precursor Cells into Fat Cells

Abstract: To study the in vitro differentiation of human adipocyte precursor cells and its regulation by hormones, primary cultures of stromal vascular cells of human adipose tissue were established. A 30- to 70-fold increase in the number of developing fat cells was achieved by the addition of cortisol or related corticosteroids in the presence of insulin. Either of the two hormones alone was ineffective. The stimulatory action of cortisol was dose dependent and occurred at physiological concentrations. The results sug… Show more

“…Cross-reactions with this receptor is indeed possible when insulin is added at high concentrations [45,140]. Because no or poor effects are observed with physiological concentrations, similar interpretation concerns human and rabbit preadipocytes [105,182]. However, it has been shown more recently that high concentrations of insulin are not obligatory for the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells [223].…”

“…However, interest in adipose tissue has increased after mesenchymal stem cells, also known as "human adipose tissue derived stem cells (hADMSCs)", were isolated from this tissue (Deslex et al, 1987;Hauner et al, 1987;Pettersson et al, 1984). hADMSCs are multipotent stem cells that are recovered from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue (Gimble et al, 2007;Nakagami et al, 2006;Ning et al, 2006;Psaltis et al, 2008;Schäffler et al, 2007;Wilson et al, 2011).…”

“…Many types of primary cells are isolated from adipose tissue but the stromal vascular fractions predominantly contain circulating blood cells, endothelial cells, pericytes, adipocyte progenitor cells, and smooth muscle progenitor cells (Gimble et al, 2007). This heterogeneous cell population can be cultured under different conditions, but with standard culture conditions specifically tailored for hADMSCs the cells generally form "spindle" or "fibroblast-like" morphologies as they are passaged (Deslex et al, 1987;Hauner et al, 1987;Pettersson et al, 1984;Zuk et al, 2001). This finding indicates that some types of cells such as endothelial and circulating blood cells disappear under these culture conditions.…”

“…Glucocorticoids have a trophic effect on adipose tissue (8,9) and have a dose dependent ability to stimulate the differentiation of adipocyte precursors into adipocytes in the presence of insulin (50,103). H ypercortisolemia elevates adipocyte lipoprotein lipase activity two to threefold (96).…”
