Spheroid Culture System Confers Differentiated Transcriptome Profile and Functional Advantage to 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

Abstract: This study highlights functional differences between 2-D monolayer and 3-D spheroid 3T3-L1 adipocyte culture models and explores the underlying genomic mechanisms responsible for the different phenotypes present. The spheroids showed higher triglyceride accumulation than the monolayer culture and further increase with larger spheroid size. Whole transcriptome analysis indicated significant differential expression of genes related to adipogenesis, including adipocytokine signaling, fatty acid metabolism, and PP… Show more

“…In our previous work, which focused more on the biological aspects of hASC culture (Turner, Harris, et al, 2014;Turner et al, 2015;Turner et al, 2017;Turner et al, 2018), we have established the relevancy of spheroid size and cellular adiposity by using Oil-Red-O staining and RT-PCR to further confirm the adipogenic differentiation of hASCs.…”

“…ELP‐PEI block copolymers are a class of multifunctional polymers that have been shown to exhibit the inverse phase transition behavior of ELP as well as the mild polyelectrolyte nature of the PEI. Previous work with ELP‐PEI has utilized a low molecular weight block of PEI (<1,200 g/mol) which, used in low concentrations in surface coatings, have been shown to elicit cellular aggregations into three‐dimensional structures (Clark & Janorkar, 2018; Gurumurthy et al, 2017; Penfornis et al, 2017; Turner, Harris, et al, 2014; Turner et al, 2015; Turner et al, 2017; Turner et al, 2018; Turner, Weeks, et al, 2014; Weeks et al, 2017). The ELP‐PEI800 copolymer coating has been used in the past to prepare 3D spheroid cultures of several different cell types, including rat hepatocytes, mouse 3T3‐L1 preadipocytes, H35 rat hepatoma, human osteosarcoma, and hASCs (Clark & Janorkar, 2018; Gurumurthy et al, 2017; Penfornis et al, 2017; Turner, Harris, et al, 2014; Turner et al, 2015; Turner et al, 2017; Turner et al, 2018; Turner, Weeks, et al, 2014; Weeks et al, 2017).…”
