Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1-Supplemented Plasma Enhances Adiponectin and Adipogenesis-Related Gene Expression.

Increasing adipogenesis has been explored to treat metabolic diseases and atherosclerosis through the release of adiponectin. The effects and mechanism of platelet-rich plasma treatment on fat graft survival and adipogenesis have not been clarified. Here, we aimed to study the effects of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-supplemented plasma on adipogenesis-related gene expression and adiponectin levels. Stromal vascular fractions (SVFs) purified from the inguinal adipose tissue of obese and diabetic (Leprdb/db) mice were treated with plasma from control (Lepr+/+) mice supplemented with 10 or 50 ng of MCP-1. The expression of adiponectin and interleukin-33 (IL-33) mRNA in adipose tissue was increased in Leprdb/db mice, whereas control (Lepr+/+) plasma reduced expression of IL-33 mRNA as well as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), pJNK, and pNF-κB protein, and increased the expression of IL-10 mRNA in SVFs of Leprdb/db mice. MCP-1-supplemented control plasma increased the expression of adiponectin, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), IL-33, and PDGFα mRNA and the expression of adiponectin protein as well as PPARγ of SVFs and the expression of PPARγ mRNA in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs). Injection of MCP-1-supplemented plasma into adipose tissue of Leprdb/db mice increased the expression of IL-33 and Col3a1 mRNA in SVFs and IL-33, FABP4, PDGFα, PPARγ and PPARγ2 of ATMs, protein expression of adiponectin and PPARγ of SVFs, and plasma adiponectin levels, as well as DPP4 activity. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that control plasma decreases adipogenesis and increases IL-10, and decreases IL-33, pJNK, and pNF-κB in adipose tissue. MCP-1-supplemented plasma enhances adipogenesis-related gene expression in SVFs and adiponectin levels, which may be mediated through an increase of IL-33 and PPARγ. Thus, our findings suggest that MCP-1-supplemented plasma represents a novel therapy to stimulate local adipogenesis and systemic adiponectin levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
