Abstract
Investigation of the role of progranulin/GP88 on the proliferation and survival of a wide variety of cells has been steadily increasing. Several human diseases stem from progranulin dysregulation either through its overexpression in cancer or its absence as in the case of null mutations in some form of frontotemporal dementia. The present review focuses on the role of progranulin/GP88 in cancer development, progression, and drug resistance. Various aspects of progranulin identification, biology, and signaling pathways will be described. Information will be provided about its direct role as an autocrine growth and survival factor and its paracrine effect as a systemic factor as well as via interaction with extracellular matrix proteins and with components of the tumor microenvironment to influence drug resistance, migration, angiogenesis, inflammation, and immune modulation. This chapter will also describe studies examining progranulin/GP88 tumor tissue expression as well as circulating level as a prognostic factor for several cancers. Due to the wealth of publications in progranulin, this review does not attempt to be exhaustive but rather provide a thread to lead the readers toward more in-depth exploration of this fascinating and unique protein.

Abstract
The intramuscular adipose tissue deposition in the skeletal muscle of beef cattle is a highly desired trait essential for high-quality beef. In contrast, the excessive accumulation of crosslinked collagen in intramuscular connective tissue contributes to beef toughness. Recent studies revealed that adipose tissue and connective tissue share an embryonic origin in mice and may be derived from a common immediate bipotent precursor in mice and humans. Having the same linkages in the development of adipose tissue and connective tissue in beef, the lineage commitment and differentiation of progenitor cells giving rise to these tissues may directly affect beef quality. It has been shown that these processes are regulated by some key transcription regulators and are subjective to epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNAs. Continued exploration of relevant regulatory pathways is very important for the identification of mechanisms influencing meat quality and the development of proper management strategies for beef quality improvement.

Abstract
In postnatal muscle, skeletal muscle precursors (myoblasts) can be derived from satellite cells (reserve cells located on the surface of mature myofibers) or from cells lying beyond the myofiber, e.g., interstitial connective tissue or bone marrow. Both of these classes of cells may have stem cell properties. In addition, the heretical idea that post-mitotic myonuclei lying within mature myofibers might be able to re-form myoblasts or stem cells is examined and related to recent observations for similar post-mitotic cardiomyocytes. In adult hearts (which previously were not considered capable of repair), the role of replicating endogenous cardiomyocytes and the recruitment of other (stem) cells into cardiomyocytes for new cardiac muscle formation has recently attracted much attention. The relative contribution of these various sources of precursor cells in postnatal muscles and the factors that may enhance stem cell participation in the formation of new skeletal and cardiac muscle in vivo are the focus of this review. We concluded that, although many endogenous cell types can be converted to skeletal muscle, the contribution of non-myogenic cells to the formation of new postnatal skeletal muscle in vivo appears to be negligible. Whether the recruitment of such cells to the myogenic lineage can be significantly enhanced by specific inducers and the appropriate microenvironment is a current topic of intense interest. However, dermal fibroblasts appear promising as a realistic alternative source of exogenous myoblasts for transplantation purposes. For heart muscle, experiments showing the participation of bone marrow-derived stem cells and endothelial cells in the repair of damaged cardiac muscle are encouraging.

Abstract
Adipose tissue has emerged as an important endocrine regulator of glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis. By virtue of the mitochondrial protein uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1), brown fat additionally plays a unique role in thermoregulation. Interest has focused on this tissue not only as a target for pharmacotherapy of obesity and insulin resistance but also as an endocrine tissue with leptin secretion and high insulin sensitivity. Most studies of adipocytes have been limited either to primary cell culture or to a small number of established cell lines. Recently, we have generated immortalized brown adipocyte cell lines from single newborn mice of different knockout mouse models. These cell lines retain the main characteristics of primary cells including UCP-1 expression. They display sensitive and diverse metabolic responses to insulin and adrenergic stimulation and have proven to be useful in the characterization of UCP regulation and the role of key insulin signaling elements for insulin action. Here, we outline common approaches to the generation of adipose tissue cell lines. Furthermore, we propose that the novel technique of generating brown adipocyte lines from a single newborn mouse will be instrumental in gaining further insight into the role of a broad range of signaling molecules in adipose tissue biology and in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Adipose tissue has long been known to house the largest energy reserves in the animal body. Recent research indicates that in addition to this role, the adipocyte functions as a global regulator of energy metabolism. Adipose tissue is exquisitely sensitive to a variety of endocrine and paracrine signals, e.g. insulin, glucagon, glucocorticoids, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), that combine to control both the secretion of other regulatory factors and the recruitment and differentiation of new adipocytes. The process of adipocyte differentiation is controlled by a cascade of transcription factors, most notably those of the C/EBP and PPAR families, which combine to regulate each other and to control the expression of adipocyte-specific genes. One such gene, i.e. the obese gene, was recently identified and found to encode a hormone, referred to as leptin, that plays a major role in the regulation of energy intake and expenditure. The hormonal and transcriptional control of adipocyte differentiation is discussed, as is the role of leptin and other factors secreted by the adipocyte that participate in the regulation of adipose homeostasis.

Abstract
We have performed studies to determine if different populations of satellite cells provide nuclei to growing and regenerating skeletal muscle fibers. Satellite cells were isolated from regenerating or growing anterior tibialis muscles, and their phenotypic properties were compared in vitro. Isolates from regenerating muscle contained 31% satellite cells, and those from control muscle contained 66% satellite cells, as determined by their expression of desmin. Among the desmin-positive satellite cells present from each preparation, two distinct populations of satellite cells were evident. Approximately 28% of satellite cell colonies were composed of only large cells, contained less than 50 cells/colony, and were designated as type 1 colonies. The remainder of satellite cell colonies isolated from either regenerating or control muscles were primarily composed of small cells, contained from 60 to 150 cells/colony, and were designated as type 2 colonies. Despite dramatic differences in the ratio of myogenic to non-myogenic cell types, satellite cells from regenerating and control muscles formed myotubes and expressed myosin heavy chain at similar levels. Treatment of regenerating cultures with dexamethasone resulted in a 16% increase in the number of desmin-positive colonies and dramatically decreased the proliferation of non-myogenic cells. These results suggest that at least two distinct populations of satellite cells can be isolated from regenerating and control skeletal muscles, and that non-myogenic cells are differentially regulated in regenerating versus non-regenerating environments.

Abstract
Two adenosine receptors A1 and A2 are associated with either stimulation (A2) or inhibition (A1) of adenylate cyclase. Using the clonal cell line Ob1771, we have studied the expression of the two receptors during the process of adipose conversion accelerated by exposure to dexamethasone and 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (IBMX) during the first 3 days post-confluence. The effects mediated by the two receptors on preadipocyte differentiation and adipocyte metabolism were also investigated. The two adenosine agonists NECA and PIA were used as preferential agonists of the A2- and A1-receptor, respectively. In preadipose cells (just confluent), both of the mouse clonal line and human primary culture, NECA dose-dependently stimulated cAMP production with a significant higher potency (P < 0.01) than did PIA. In adipose cells (16-day post-confluent) NECA was found to exert a biphasic effect on forskolin-stimulated cAMP production: i.e., NECA was clearly inhibitory in the femto- to picomolar concentration range whereas this effect gradually diminished at higher concentrations. The effect of PIA in 16-day post-confluent adipose cells however, was purely inhibitory on both cAMP production (IC50: 33.52 +/- 0.44 fM) and lipolysis (64% +/- 7%; P < 0.01). These findings were corroborated by Northern blot analysis which revealed A1-receptor mRNA to be exclusively expressed in the mature adipocytes, whereas A2-receptor mRNA gradually declined during the differentiation process except in 16-day post-confluent cells. In addition, NECA significantly enhanced the effect of corticosterone-induced differentiation by 46.8% (P < 0.05) but failed to have any adipogenic potency acting either alone or in concert with carbaprostacyclin (cPGI2). Thus, endogenous adenosine may have a bimodal action on adipose tissue metabolism mediated through stimulatory A2- and inhibitory A1-receptors, respectively, as a function of adipose conversion.

Abstract
Fatty acids and thiazolidinediones act as potent activators of the adipose differentiation program in established preadipose cell lines. In this report, the effects of these agents on the differentiation pathway of myoblasts have been investigated. Exposure of C2C12N myoblasts (a subclone of the C2C12 cell line) to thiazolidinediones or fatty acids prevents the expression of myogenin, alpha-actin, and creatine kinase, thus abolishing the formation of multinucleated myotubes. These treatments lead in parallel to the expression of a typical adipose differentiation program including acquisition of adipocyte morphology and activation of adipose-related genes. A similar transition toward the adipose differentiation pathway also occurs in mouse muscle satellite cells maintained in primary culture. Thiazolidinediones exert their adipogenic effects only in non-terminally differentiated myoblasts; myotubes are insensitive to the compounds. Continuous exposure to inducers after growth arrest is not required to maintain the adipose phenotype, but proliferation of adipose-like C2C12N cells leads to a complete reversion toward undifferentiated cells able to undergo either myogenic or adipogenic differentiation depending on the composition of culture medium. These results indicate that adipogenic inducers, such as thiazolidinediones or fatty acids, specifically convert the differentiation pathway of myoblasts into that of adipoblasts.

Abstract
Adipose differentiation is a multistep process with the following sequence: adipoblasts --> preadipocytes --> adipocytes. Adipogenic agents are only involved in the terminal differentiation of preadipocytes to adipocytes by means of circulating hormones (growth hormone, glucocorticoids, or triiodothyronine) and locally produced hormones (prostacyclin). Fatty acids also behave as hormones and act as transcriptional regulators of lipid-related genes. Once differentiated, adipocytes become secretory cells able to synthetize and release an impressive number of peptide and nonpeptide compounds, suggesting a potential link between excess of adipose tissue mass and various physiopathphysiologic consequences.

Abstract
The rapid apparent conversion of brown adipose tissue into white adipose tissue in newborn offspring of large mammals, such as sheep and cattle is not explained at the cellular level. To study the differentiation of lamb brown adipocyte, a genomic fragment corresponding to the uncoupling protein was cloned from an ovine DNA library. Stromal vascular fibroblasts isolated from the perirenal adipose tissue of newborn lambs completely differentiated into brown adipocytes expressing the uncoupling protein gene, in a chemically defined serum-free medium. Dexamethasone was necessary for the expression of the uncoupling protein gene. When stromal vascular fibroblasts were isolated from 3-week-old lambs, the glucocorticoid analog still promoted in vitro differentiation of adipocytes. However those adipocytes were unable to express uncoupling mRNA and could be considered as white adipocytes. The data indicate that dexamethasone is necessary but not sufficient clone for the complete differentiation of brown adipocytes, and that the preadipocytes are committed to differentiation into brown or white adipocytes before culture.

Abstract
The effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) production was studied in mesenchymal rat heart cell cultures. Addition of FGF to culture medium containing 20% serum resulted in a 3-fold increase in LPL activity. The minimal effective dose of FGF was 10 ng/ml and the increase occurred after exposure for 48 h. Addition of FGF was effective during the first week in culture, when enzyme activity was increasing, but not after 11 days when the cultures were superconfluent and the enzyme activity was high. Addition of FGF to serum-poor medium was able to replace serum required to sustain LPL activity. In FGF-treated cultures, more LPL activity was present in the functional pool, but not in the medium, than in the controls. The increase in enzymic activity was accompanied by an increase in enzyme mass and in LPL mRNA.

Abstract
We have derived serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cultures in a basal nutrient medium supplemented with insulin, transferrin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and fibronectin. These cells are nontumorigenic, lack gross chromosomal aberrations, and exhibit several other unique properties, including dependence on EGF for survival and growth inhibition by serum. We have examined the concentration dependence of the growth stimulatory effects of protein supplements used in the SFME medium formulation and surveyed other supplements that might act as alternative or complementary additions to the culture medium. Insulin could be replaced by insulin-like growth factor I and EGF could be replaced by transforming growth factor alpha in the same concentration range. Transferrin could be replaced by higher concentrations of lactoferrin. Deterioration of cultures in the absence of EGF began within 8 hours of the removal of the growth factor, and could be prevented by the addition of fibroblast growth factor/heparin-binding growth factor. Attachment proteins other than fibronectin were effective on SFME cells, but limited success was obtained when substituting other lipid preparations for HDL. These data introduce a precise system for exploring the unusual characteristics of SFME cells and contribute additional information that may be useful in the extension of these approaches to other cell types and species.

Abstract
The terminal adipose differentiation of Ob1771 cells, characterized by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and triacylglycerol accumulation, was studied in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium containing growth hormone, tri-iodothyronine, insulin, transferrin and fetuin. Arachidonic acid was able to substitute for a crude adipogenic fraction isolated from fetal bovine serum but not for growth hormone or tri-iodothyronine. Arachidonic acid was also able to increase in a rapid and dramatic manner cyclic AMP production; moreover it was able to amplify the adipose conversion promoted by other agents elevating cyclic AMP concentrations and to induce inositol phospholipid breakdown. Both phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a protein kinase C activator and ionomycin, a Ca2+-mobilizing agent, showed potent synergy with agents elevating cyclic AMP concentrations for the promotion of adipose conversion, whereas 8-bromo cyclic GMP and 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate were ineffective. The triggering of both the cyclic AMP and inositol phospholipid pathways was accompanied by a single round of cell division, and within a few days all the cells became differentiated. Similar results were obtained, after exposure to arachidonic acid, with preadipose 3T3-F442A cells and with rat adipose precursor cells in primary culture. The availability of arachidonic acid from intracellular stores and/or of exogenous origin should play a major role for the onset of critical mitoses leading to terminal differentiation in pre-adipose cells.

Abstract
A flow cytometric immunofluorescence procedure utilizing a specific antibody to rat adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was developed to quantify differentiated and undifferentiated preadipocytes present in the adipose tissue vascular stroma. This method is highly sensitive and specific for cells capable of synthesizing LPL in significant quantities. Pubescence in female rats was associated with an increase in differentiated preadipocytes and in fat cell number with enlargement of the fat depots in the perirenal, parametrial, and the subcutaneous dorsal and femoral regions. A concomitant decline in the percentage of undifferentiated preadipocytes occurred in all but the femoral depot. Ovariectomy reduced pubertal adipose growth in the femoral and parametrial but not the dorsal or perirenal regions. Furthermore, the femoral undifferentiated preadipocyte pool was not preserved in the ovariectomized animals. Thus, ovarian factors influence the pubescence-associated regional preadipocyte differentiation and conversion to adipocytes. The femoral depot contains an ovarian-dependent infinite pool of fat cell precursors. These features could account for the association between ovarian hormones and body fat topography.

Abstract
Studies on the development of brown and white adipose tissues and their relationship to ordinary connective tissue are the subject of the present review, which is updated to the fall of 1985. Primordial entities described as "primitive organs" have been noted at sites of adipose tissue development by numerous investigators. These "primitive organs" are clearly delineated from surrounding connective tissue and possess a well-defined vascular network in the interstices of which cellular organization takes place. The precursor cells of brown and white adipocytes appear to acquire their distinctive cytogenetic properties at a very early stage in the embryo. These progenitor cells temporarily exhibit structural similarities to fibroblasts and endothelial cells. This resemblance has led to speculation that fibroblasts and/or endothelial cells may be ancestral to adipocytes. However, recent in vivo and in vitro observations suggest that the brown adipose precursor cell is morphogenetically distinct from the white adipose precursor cell on one hand, and from fibroblasts and endothelial cells on the other. In vitro studies have also shown that the pericytic elements present in both brown and white adipose tissue depots in the adult are quiescent precursor cells that may be recruited under certain circumstances. Areas for further inquiry by means of recently developed techniques are indicated.

Abstract
Obesity is regarded as a heterogeneous syndrome, which may appear in different forms. Various causes have been found to contribute to its pathogenesis. During recent years investigations of adipose tissue cellularity and its dynamic changes have gained growing interest. An important progress was the discovery of adipose tissue precursor cells. These cells have not yet been precisely identified by morphological and biochemical methods in intact tissue. However, due to methodological developments such precursor cells can be cultured both as primary cultures and as established cell lines. These culture systems have proven to be valuable models for the study of the processes involved in the formation of new fat cells.

Abstract
In muscle of whole animals, pituitary growth hormone, the thyroid hormones, and insulin are major growth-promoting hormones, and the glucocorticoids have significant catabolic actions. At the cellular level the primary anabolic hormones for cultured myoblasts are the somatomedins (insulin-like growth factors) and fibroblast growth factor. In these cells physiological concentrations of growth hormone, thyroid hormones, and insulin have no growth-promoting effect; some of the reported actions of insulin probably result from cross-reaction with the somatomedin receptor. Results with purified proteins do not support the view that mitogens block myoblast differentiation; transforming growth factor-beta and interferon are nonmitogenic proteins that inhibit differentiation, insulin-like growth factors are mitogens that stimulate differentiation, and fibroblast growth factor is the only purified mitogen that inhibits differentiation. At least six serum-free media have now been devised for the growth of various kinds of muscle cells under closely defined conditions.

Abstract
The characterization and purification of the growth-promoting activity present in rat submaxillary gland extracts, known to be required for the proliferation of adipose precursor cells in serum-free medium, have been undertaken. Fractionation of the extracts by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography on immobilized benzamidine allowed the copurification of the mitogenic activity with two distinct arginylesteropeptidases of apparent molecular weight 25,000; one of these enzymes has been purified to homogeneity and shown to be immunologically related to tonin, a well-characterized kallikreinlike protease from submaxillary gland. The specificity of both enzymes was similar to that of plasma and glandular kallikreins, as indicated by the relative rates of hydrolysis of peptide p-nitroanilide substrates. Prior treatment of the kallikreinlike proteases with phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride or aprotinin abolished completely both mitogenic and arginylesteropeptidase activities, indicating that enzymatic activity was essential for the manifestation of their growth-promoting ability. The kallikreinlike proteases from rat submaxillary gland were able to replace thrombin to support the proliferation of Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts in serum-free medium. These results underline the role of proteases in controlling cell growth and are discussed in light of adipose tissue development.

Abstract
Stromal-vascular cells from the epididymal fat pad of 4-week-old rats, when cultured in a medium containing insulin or insulin-like growth factor, IGF-I, triiodothyronine and transferrin, were able to undergo adipose conversion. Over ninety percent of the cells accumulated lipid droplets and this proportion was reduced in serum-supplemented medium. The adipose conversion was assessed by the development of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activities, [14C]glucose incorporation into polar and neutral lipids, triacylglycerol accumulation and lipolysis in response to isoproterenol. Similar results were obtained with stromal-vascular cells from rat subcutaneous and retroperitoneal adipose tissues. Stromal-vascular cells required no adipogenic factors in addition to the components of the serum-free medium. Insulin was required within a physiological range of concentrations for the emergence of LPL and at higher concentrations for that of GPDH. When present at concentrations ranging from 2 to 50 nM, IGF-I was able to replace insulin for the expression of both LPL and GPDH. The development of a serum-free, chemically defined medium for the differentiation of diploid adipose precursor cells opens up the possibility of characterizing inhibitors or activators of the adipose conversion process.

Abstract
Using a cDNA probe and a two-site enzyme immunoassay, beta-nerve growth factor (beta NGF) synthesis was monitored in several mouse teratocarcinoma cell lines. Trace amounts of NGF mRNA were detected in the embryonal carcinoma (EC) PCC4, F9 and 1003 clones, whereas the myocardial (PCD1), myogenic (1168) and adipogenic (1246) clones contained significantly higher levels of NGF mRNA and secreted mature beta NGF peptide in the culture medium. The 1003, 1168 and 1246 strains were derived from the same teratocarcinoma cell line and their ability or inability to synthesize the neurotrophic factor may reflect a developmental decision for divergent differentiation programs. Induction of NGF mRNA and protein synthesis was observed in a differentiated derivative of an SV40-transformed F9 clone which expresses the viral T antigen. Southern blot analysis of the genomic DNAs revealed no structural alterations of the NGF locus between teratocarcinoma cells that express the NGF gene and those that do not. Similar analysis of the DNA methylation pattern in C-C-G-G sequences using the Hpa II and Msp I isoschizomers indicated no methylation changes of the NGF gene in the teratocarcinoma DNAs. At least two, and probably all four, of the already mapped Msp I sites within the NGF gene are methylated in all teratocarcinoma DNAs examined, as well as in the male mouse submaxillary gland DNA, the organ richest in this factor.

Abstract
Cultured rat epididymal preadipocytes exposed for 24-72 h to either bezafibrate or clofibrate added to the culture medium were extensively converted to fat-loaded adipocytes. Adipocyte conversion increased during the first 5-7 days following plating, reaching a level of 100% and 60% conversion with bezafibrate and clofibrate, respectively, as compared to 10% conversion in their absence. Adipocyte conversion in culture was a saturable function of the hypolipidemic effectors and was associated with an increase in the incorporation rate of exogenous palmitate into triacylglycerols, in glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and hormone-sensitive lipase activities but not in lipoprotein lipase activity. Adipocyte conversion by hypolipidemic drugs was much more prominent than that exerted by dibutyryl cAMP, and the relative conversion efficiency of the two fibrate drugs did not correlate with their respective cAMP content of the culture. Hence, hypolipidemic drugs and dibutyryl cAMP appear to act independently in initiating adipose conversion in primary epididymal preadipocytes.

Abstract
When mouse-teratocarcinoma-derived fibroblasts (1246 cell line) are subjected to treatment with the inhibitor of DNA methylation, 5-Azacytidine (5 AzaC), they transiently express at 55-kilodalton intermediate-filament protein recognized by the epithelial-specific monoclonal antibody, TROMA-1, although they retain a fibroblastic morphology. However, rare clones (e.g., the 1339 cell line) that permanently express the antigen recognized by TROMA-1 can be derived from the 5 AzaC-treated 1246 population, and these clones have an epithelial phenotype. In the present study, we used cloned DNA probes to demonstrate that, in 1246 fibroblasts, 5 AzaC induces the appearance of Endo-A mRNA. High levels of Endo-A mRNA were also detected in the epithelial derivative, cell line 1339. In both cases, the capping site of the Endo-A mRNA was found to be the same as that in epithelial cells which normally express this RNA.

Abstract
The adipogenic cell line 1246, which grows and differentiates in defined medium, stringently requires insulin for both processes. From this cell line, insulin-independent variants were isolated and characterized. Unlike 1246 cells, the variant cell lines proliferate without insulin, have lost their differentiation ability, produce factor(s) able to replace insulin to stimulate 1246 cell growth but not differentiation and are tumorigenic. Because of these properties, this system is appropriate to examine the correlation (if any) between the loss of response to an extra-cellular factor and of ability to differentiate, and between the production of endogenous growth factor and the acquisition of tumorigenic properties.

Abstract
A serum-free hormone-supplemented medium able to support the growth of rodent adipose precursor cells has been used to characterize additional components from serum required for the differentiation of preadipose Ob17 cells into adipose-like cells. Fetuin is shown to behave as a growth-promoting agent for these cells. In addition to growth hormone, triiodothyronine and a low-molecular weight component(s) also purified from serum, fetuin is required for the full expression of the differentiation program. Other serum proteins as well as other mitogenic factors are unable to substitute for fetuin. A possible role of fetuin in the development of adipose tissue is discussed.

Abstract
When grown in the presence of serum with added insulin, Chinese hamster embryonic fibroblasts (CHEF/18) cells can be induced to become preadipocytes that are committed to the adipocyte pathway of terminal differentiation (Sager, R., and P. Kovac, 1982, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 79:480-484). We found that commitment to the adipocyte pathway, as well as terminal differentiation to form mature adipocytes, can occur in a defined serum-free medium containing insulin. When CHEF/18 cells are plated in serum-containing medium, only 5-10% of cells in each colony undergo terminal differentiation, whereas in serum-free medium, greater than 90% of the cells became adipocytes. These and other results show that CHEF/18 cells require no adipogenic factors in addition to insulin and the other components of the serum-free medium (transferrin, epithelial growth factor, thrombin) to form adipocytes, and furthermore, that serum inhibits the rate of terminal adipocyte differentiation of these cells. As little as 10 ng/ml insulin added to serum-containing medium can induce adipogenesis, suggesting that insulin rather than an insulinlike growth factor is the active agent. The results further demonstrate that virtually every CHEF/18 cell can be induced into the adipocyte pathway.

Abstract
The interrelationship between cell proliferation and terminal myogenic differentiation has been analyzed by studying a differentiation-defective subclone (DD-1) of the permanent mouse myoblast line MM14. Parental MM14 myoblasts withdraw irreversibly from the cell cycle and initiate terminal differentiation when they are deprived of certain mitogens. In contrast, DD-1 cells become quiescent in a mitogen-depleted environment and less than 0.4% of the cells differentiate. When refed with mitogen-rich medium quiescent DD-1 cells resume proliferation. Expression of this differentiation-defective phenotype is apparently coupled to an alteration in mitogen sensitivity: MM14 myoblasts require horse serum plus either chick embryo extract or fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to sustain cell growth: DD-1 variants are responsive to FGF, but also proliferate in response to serum alone or to reduced serum plus epidermal growth factor (EGF). Interestingly, EGF also appears to retard DD-1 cell differentiation in a manner similar to the FGF repression of differentiation in normal myoblasts. Normal and differentiation-defective myoblasts which have been maintained under growth-promoting conditions exhibit similar EGF binding, internalization, and degradation. However, whereas the EGF binding capacity of MM14 myoblasts declines to less than 5% of its initial level within 24 hr of FGF removal, DD-1 variants exhibit an increase in EGF binding when switched to an FGF-depleted medium. The relationship of altered EGF receptor regulation to changes in mitogen sensitivity and differentiation capacity of the DD-1 variant is discussed, and implications for general in vivo processes governing cell proliferation and differentiation are considered.

Abstract
Cell lines were derived from ob17 preadipocyte cells by focus formation after transfer of the complete early region of polyoma virus (ob17PY) or of a modified genome encoding only the middle T protein (ob17MT). Both ob17PY and ob17MT cell lines exhibited a high cloning efficiency in agarose medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Fully transformed ob17PY cells grew to high saturation densities and did not differentiate in vitro and in vivo. ob17MT cells and derived subclones did not grow in the absence of serum and were able to differentiate in vitro and to give rise in vivo to adipose tumors. Among these different clones an inverse relationship was observed in culture between their potentiality to overproliferate at low serum and their potentiality to convert into adipose cells. The expression of enzyme markers of adipose conversion was strictly dependent upon the presence of growth hormone. In addition, the hormonal requirements for differentiation were simpler than those of the original ob17 cells and the adipose conversion could take place in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium.

Abstract
The regulation of transformed phenotypes was studied in newly isolated preadipose cell lines which were established after infection with simian virus 40 tsA58 dl2009. The clonal cell lines isolated exhibited most of the characteristics typical of transformed cells. The transformants, however, were able to differentiate into adipocytes in the presence of low calf serum (0.5%) and a combination of several hormones, including hydrocortisone and insulin. Treatment with insulin alone stimulated the growth of these cells but did not induce lipid accumulation without added hydrocortisone. The effect of hydrocortisone was accompanied by a restoration of growth control in the transformants after they reached high cell density. The blot hybridization analysis of cellular DNAs digested by restriction enzymes revealed that simian virus 40 genomes were integrated at multiple separate sites at which a head-to-tail oligomeric insertion took place. Large T antigen was synthesized in growing cells but was regulated at high cell density when cells were committed to differentiate by glucocorticoids. These results suggest that the glucocorticoid hydrocortisone is capable of restoring growth regulation at high cell densities to simian virus 40-transformed preadipose cell lines.

Abstract
Adipose conversion of ob17 preadipocyte cells was studied in insulin-depleted (less than 0.2 pM), serum-supplemented medium. The results show that insulin is neither required for the commitment of stem cells ( adipoblasts ) to preadipocytes nor for the onset of the differentiation program and the post-confluent mitoses of preadipocytes to adipocyte-like cells. No unmasking of insulin 'super' receptors and no cellular production of insulin can be detected in cells exposed to insulin-depleted medium. Insulin enhances only the rate of the lipid-filling process of differentiating cells and thus the number of fat cell clusters visible after staining for neutral lipids. Therefore, in the light of these and previous results [17, 18], the role of insulin is only to act as a modulator in the expression of the differentiation program.

Abstract
Cell lines corresponding to various cell lineages of the mouse embryo have been isolated from murine teratocarcinomas. Embryonal carcinoma cell lines are developmentally equivalent to the embryonic ectoderm or inner cell mass. Most of these cell lines have a modal chromosome number equal or close to 40, the normal mouse complement. However, cell lines corresponding to more advanced cell lineages (e.g., endoderm) are tetraploid or hypotetraploid and display multiple chromosomal rearrangements. This paper describes the isolation of a near-diploid differentiated cell line (LT-D) from an LT teratocarcinoma. The modal chromosome number of LT-D is 40, and this number is stable during at least 12 mo of continuous culture. LT-D cells are morphologically distinct from embryonal carcinoma cells and no longer express the SSEA-1 cell surface antigen or high alkaline phosphatase activity characteristic of embryonal carcinoma cells. LT-D cells can be induced to fuse into structures resembling myotubes. The formation of these structures is accompanied by expression of the muscle-specific isozyme of creatine phosphokinase and desmin, a muscle-specific component of intermediate filaments. Lastly, LT-D cells do not form tumors in syngenetic mice.

Abstract
Ob17 is a clonal cell line isolated from the epididymal fat pad of C57 BL/6J ob/ob mouse that differentiates into adiposelike cells in serum-supplemented medium. In serum-free medium, this cell line shows increased growth under the addition of insulin, transferrin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and a factor present in extract of rat submaxillary gland (SMGE). This medium is referred to as 4F. Epidermal growth factor or nerve growth factor cannot replace SMGE, whereas partially purified platelet extract can substitute for FGF but only partially for SMGE. 4F Medium is able to support the proliferation of cells from other established preadipocyte clonal lines, HGFu and 3T3-F442A, and also of preadipocyte cells isolated from the stromal-vascular fraction of rat and mouse adipose tissues. In each case 4F medium is insufficient to support the differentiation of these cells into adipocytes. Ob17 cells grown and maintained in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium retain the ability to convert to adiposelike cells after serum addition. This serum requirement for differentiation cannot be substituted by the addition of growth hormone or of other putative adipogenic factors, or both. The results are discussed with respect to the requirements for growth and differentiation of the 3T3-L1 and 1246 preadipocyte cell lines previously described.

Abstract
A differentiation defective cell line variant, the T984-15, has lost the capacity to differentiate myogenically. Following treatment with the hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine, T984-15 cells were induced to differentiate into myogenic colonies containing fused myotubes. Myogenic colonies when cloned, maintained their ability to differentiate after prolonged culture in the absence of further 5-azacytidine treatment. These results indicate that 5-azacytidine treatment resulted in a stable alteration in the capacity of T984-15 cells to differentiate and suggests that the loss of myogenic potential may have occurred as a result of an epigenetic phenomenon rather than a somatic mutational event.

Abstract
We report the isolation of six cell lines (designated EB cell lines) from cultures of the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase-deficient (HGPRT-) feeder-dependent embryonal carcinoma cell line PSA4TG12 which have undergone in vitro differentiation, and of clonal derivatives of these lines. Whereas some lines possess quasi-diploid karyotypes similar to that of PSA4TG12, others are markedly aneuploid. Cell line EB26/1 and its clonal derivatives undergo adipogenesis in cultures maintained at confluence; in tumours formed by injection into syngeneic mice they produce muscle-like cells, cartilage and bone in addition to adipose cells. We therefore propose that EB26/1 and its clones are aneuploid derivatives of an uncommitted mesodermal cell. Cell line EB28/5 forms tumours with a histological appearance resembling that of yolk sac carcinoma but does not express biochemical markers characteristic of visceral or parietal endoderm. Cell line EB28/10n has a myoblast-like culture morphology and in tumours is capable of producing muscle-like cells, cartilage and bone. A high specific activity of alkaline phosphatase is present is two of five EB cell lines assayed, and plasminogen activator activity is present in all five. Since the EB cell lines represent populations of cells each expressing a particular subset of the genetic information present in a common ancestral genome, they will be invaluable for studying the developmental regulation of gene expression.

Cell-surface proteins of the embryonal carcinoma line C17-S1 1003 (1003) and of some of its mesenchymal derivatives were studied. The surface proteins were labelled with 125I using the lactoperoxidase-glucose-glucose oxidase system either on the cells attached to the culture dishes or after their dissociation. Iodinated proteins were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The patterns obtained with embryonal carcinoma cells 1003 and with two mesenchymal cell types derived from them, namely embryonic mesenchymal cells (line 10035) and fibroblastic cells (line 10031), were different one from the other, especially when considering the group of proteins labelled on the attached cells. The pattern of cell-surface proteins of the myoblastic line 1168, also derived from C17-S1, was found to be similar to that of 10031 fibroblastic cells. This result is discussed in the light of the phenotypic transition toward myogenesis, which can be obtained with 10031 fibroblastic cells but not with 10035 embryonic mesenchymal cells. A direct method of detection of lectin-binding proteins permitted us to identify the major concanavalin A-binding proteins. Two of them are common to all cell lines studied. They were labeled with 125I on the attached undifferentiated 1003 cells, while in all differentiated derivatives they became available for labelling after the cell detachment only.

Abstract
Fibroblasts from ovine skin, and from the perirenal and subcutaneous adipose tissues of sheep were grown at clonal densities in medium MCDB 202 supplemented with 1 microgram/ml bovine insulin, 1 microM dexamethasone, 100 ng/ml fibroblast growth factor and 20 micrograms/ml of the lipid preparation described by Bettger, W. J., Boyce, S. T., Walthall, B. J. and Ham, R. G. [(1981) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci, USA, 78, 5588-5592]. When maintained as a confluent monolayer in this medium, the fibroblasts from the adipose tissues spontaneously underwent an adipose differentiation. This was accelerated by substituting medium F12 for medium MCDB 202, and by raising the CO2 tension from 2% to 7.5% in air over the cultures. The differentiation was inhibited by deleting FGF from the growth medium, or by coating the culture surface with fibronectin or poly-D-lysine. Differentiation also failed to occur when the defined supplements were replaced with fetal bovine serum. The synthesis of triacylglycerol by the cells, as seen by the increased specific activity of [14C]acetate incorporated into this lipid class, was accompanied by an increase in the specific activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Abstract
Using a density gradient medium (Percoll) we succeeded in isolating homogeneous cell populations from the stromal-vascular fraction of the inguinal tissue of 3-day-old rats. In primary culture, in medium 199 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 5.5 mM glucose, almost complete differentiation (90%) of these fractions was obtained for the first time in presence of a physiological concentration of insulin (10(-9) M). During the adipose conversion, insulin markedly enhanced the activities of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and acid: CoA ligase. When VLDL and heparin were added with insulin to the medium, this effect was not potentiated. On the contrary, VLDL and heparin in presence of insulin increased the triglyceride content of the cells. With VLDL and heparin only, the biochemical and morphological characteristics of the cells were very similar to those observed in control culture. The heavier fraction was morphologically heterogeneous and did not undergo the adipose conversion to the same extent as the two lighter fractions. It was concluded that this model could be helpful in studying the proliferation and the differentiation of preadipocytes at an early stage of development.

Abstract
The ability to grow lymphoid cells in serum-free media affords the advantage of separately analyzing those components found to be involved in proliferation and differentiation. Iscove's medium (IMDM) supplemented with bovine serum albumin or casein, cholesterol, ferrous chloride, insulin, beta-mercaptoethanol, L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine, and transferrin supported the long-term proliferation of a gibbon ape lymphoma T-cell line, MLA144. These cells continue to produce interleukin 2 (IL-2, T-cell growth factor) constitutively in the serum-free medium. IL-2-dependent human T cells initiated and maintained in culture in serum-free medium containing IL-2 have continued to replicate for over 3 months with two population doublings every 3 to 4 days. A normal, IL-2-dependent marmoset T-cell line, OH-1, also proliferated on the serum-free medium when supplemented with IL-2. Several established primate B-cell lines which do not require IL-2 for growth were able to proliferate in the serum-free medium. These B-cell lines included B95-8, an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed marmoset cell line, HuCo/R-H, a human cord B-lymphocyte line transformed with EBV, and Namalwa, an EBV-positive B-cell line established from a Burkitt's lymphoma. B95-8 cells grown on serum-free medium showed high levels of EBV antigen-positive cells after induction with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA).

Abstract
A clonal cell line has been established from the epididymal fat pad of the C57 BL/6J +/? mouse. This line, designated HGFu, is aneuploid and exhibits both morphological and biochemical properties characteristic of mature adipocytes. Adipose conversion begins after confluence and is accompanied by (a) an early emergence of lipoprotein lipase, (b) an increase in the incorporation of [14C]acetate into lipids and in the activities of acid:CoA ligase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, (c) a 27- to 35-fold increase in the average triglyceride content per cell. In the presence of a beta-agonist (isoproterenol) a full lipolytic response (measured by fatty acid release) is observed with differentiated cells, whereas the responsiveness examined by cyclic AMP (cAMP) production is present both in undifferentiated and differentiated cells. Adipose conversion, estimated by activities of enzyme markers, is accelerated by the continuous presence in the culture medium of insulin and triiodothyronine both within their physiological range of concentrations, whereas insulin at supraphysiological concentrations shows a growth promoting activity. The concentrations of insulin and triiodothyronine required for half-maximal lipogenic effects are in agreement with the Kd values of their respective high affinity binding sites present in HGFu cells. The HGFu cell line seems to be a useful model for the study on a long term basis of the mechanisms of action both of insulin and triiodothyronine. Moreover it will make it possible to realize comparative studies between clonal lines established from the lean adult mouse (HGFu line) and from the genetically obese adult mouse (Ob17 line).

Abstract
Isoenzymes of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI: E.C. 5.3.1.9) were used as markers to determine the origin of cells which give rise to new muscle formed in allografts of whole intact muscle. GPI isoenzymes were also employed to see whether host precursor cells, which have been shown to contribute to muscle formation in grafts of minced muscle, can be derived from muscle lying adjacent to grafts. Excellent muscle regeneration was found in allografts of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle examined after 58 days: 12 of 16 grafts contained 80% or more new muscle. Isoenzyme analysis showed that most, and in 2 instances all, new muscle was derived from implanted donor cells; however, there was strong evidence that in 5 grafts some, or all, new muscle must have resulted from host cells moving into the graft. Although hybrid isoenzyme was not detected this was attributed to factors associated with host tolerance which appear to interfere with fusion between host and donor myoblasts. Isografts of minced muscle were placed next to whole EDL muscle allografts to see if cells from allografts moved into adjacent regenerating tissue. Unfortunately, muscle regeneration in minced isografts was poor; only 3 contained 50% or more new muscle and most contained large amounts of fibrous connective tissue. Only a single isoenzyme band was detected in 11 isografts, but in five instances, the presence of a second band showed that cells from EDL allografts were also present. As no hybrid isoenzyme was detected, it is not known whether these cells which had moved into the regenerating minced grafts were muscle precursors, fibroblasts or some other cell types.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to insulin of confluent cells of a preadipocyte clonal line (Ob17) leads to an acceleration of their development into adipose cells. The short-term effects of insulin have been examined by the stimulation of [14C] alpha-aminoisobutyrate uptake and the long-term effects by the increase in the activity levels of several lipogenic enzymes and in the intracellular triacylglycerol content. These metabolic effects of insulin occur within a physiological range of concentrations (EC50 congruent to 1 nM). As compared to insulin, dose-response curves obtained with proinsulin on these parameters show at least a 10-fold decrease in sensitivity of the cells. In contrast, the growth-promoting effects of both insulin and proinsulin occur at supraphysiological concentrations (EC50 greater than 300 nM). This mitogenic response is likely mediated through binding to receptors of insulin-like growth factors. Our data demonstrate that long-term effects of insulin on lipid synthesis can be dissociated from its effect on cell growth. Therefore the Ob17 cell line should be a useful model to study the role of insulin in the regulation of lipid synthesis in adipose cells.
