Abstract
The association between weight and chronic diseases is well defined. The quality and quantity of dietary fatty acids is an important external factor and appetite and energy expenditure, are important internal factors in determining body weight. On the other hand, dietary fatty acids composition can modulate appetite and energy metabolism, but not all fats are equal in producing metabolic responses.Given the accumulating evidence for differential effects of various dietary fatty acids, one important area of investigation is to scrutinize their roles in weight, appetite and energy expenditure modulation. There is substantial evidence to suggest that saturated fatty acids have a greater effect on appetite control, although in the long run may result in more weight gain than unsaturated fatty acids due to a weaker stimulation of energy expenditure. In contrast, mono-unsaturated fats do not have much effects on appetite control, but they can be beneficial in weight control over the long term due to stimulatory effects on energy expenditure. Interestingly, in case of poly unsaturated fats, including n-3 and n-6, their effect on increasing energy expenditure is aligned, but they act differently in controlling weight and appetite.

Adipogenesis and lipid production in adipocytes subjected to sustained tensile deformations and elevated glucose concentration: a living cell-scale model system of diabesity.

Abstract
Adipocyte fate commitment is characterized by morphological changes of fibroblastic pre-adipocyte cells, and specifically by accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) as part of the adipogenesis metabolism. Formation of LDs indicates the production of triglycerides from glucose through an insulin-regulated glucose internalization process. In obesity, adipocytes typically become insulin resistant, and glucose transport into the cells is impaired, resulting in type 2 diabetes. In the present study, we monitored the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cultured cells exposed to high (450 mg/dL hyperglycemia) and low (100 mg/dL physiological) glucose concentrations, in a novel cell culture model system of diabesity. In addition to glucose conditions, cells were concurrently exposed to different substrate tensile strains (12% and control) based on our prior work which revealed that adipogenesis is accelerated in cultures subjected to static, chronic substrate tensile deformations. Phase-contrast images were taken throughout the adipogenesis process (3 weeks) and were analyzed by an image processing algorithm which quantitatively monitors cell differentiation and lipid accumulation (number of LDs per cell and their radius as well as cell size and shape). The results indicated that high glucose concentrations and substrate tensile strains delivered to adipocytes accelerated lipid production by 1.7- and 1.4-fold, respectively. In addition, significant changes in average cell projected area and in other morphological attributes were observed during the differentiation process. The importance of this study is in characterizing the adipogenesis parameters as potential read-outs that can predict the occurrence of insulin resistance in the development of diabesity.

Abstract
The impact of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), EPA, and DHA on obesity and metabolic complications was studied in mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose (HF) diet. HF diets were supplemented with ALA, EPA, or DHA (1% w/w) and given to C57BL/6J mice for 16 weeks and to Ob/Ob mice for 6 weeks. In C57BL/6J mice, EPA reduced plasma cholesterol (-20%), limited fat mass accumulation (-23%) and adipose cell hypertrophy (-50%), and reduced plasma leptin concentration (-60%) compared with HF-fed mice. Furthermore, mice supplemented with EPA exhibited a higher insulin sensitivity (+24%) and glucose tolerance (+20%) compared with HF-fed mice. Similar effects were observed in EPA-supplemented Ob/Ob mice, although fat mass accumulation was not prevented. By contrast, in comparison with HF-fed mice, DHA did not prevent fat mass accumulation, increased plasma leptin concentration (+128%) in C57BL/6J mice, and did not improve glucose homeostasis in C57BL/6J and Ob/Ob mice. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, DHA stimulated leptin expression whereas EPA induced adiponectin expression, suggesting that improved leptin/adiponectin balance may contribute to the protective effect of EPA. In conclusion, supplementation with EPA, but not ALA and DHA, could preserve glucose homeostasis in an obesogenic environment and limit fat mass accumulation in the early stage of weight gain.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the common precursors of several functionally disparate cell lineages. A plethora of chemical and physical stimuli contribute to lineage decisions and guidance, including mechanical stretch concomitant with physical movement. Here, we examined how stretch regulates MSC differentiation into adipocytes and the intracellular signaling pathways involved. MSCs were cultured under adipogenic conditions and divided into a control and an experimental group. Cultures in the experimental group were subjected to a sinusoidal stretch regimen delivered via flexible culture bottoms (5% magnitude, 10 times per min, 6h/day, 3 or 5 days). Expression levels of the adipocyte markers PPARγ-2, adiponectin, and C/EBPα were measured as indices of differentiation. Compared to controls, MSCs exposed to mechanical stretch exhibited downregulated PPARγ-2, adiponectin, and C/EBPα mRNA expression. Alternatively, stretch upregulated phosphorylation of Smad2. This stretch-induced increase in Smad2 phosphorylation was suppressed by pretreatment with the TGFβ1/Smad2 pathway antagonist SB-431542. Pretreatment with the TGFβ1/Smad2 signaling agonist TGFβ1 facilitated the inhibitory effect of stretch on the expression levels of PPARγ-2, adiponectin, and C/EBPα proteins, while pretreatment with SB-431542 reversed the inhibitory effects of subsequent stretch on the expression levels of these markers. These results strongly suggest that the anti-adipogenic effects of mechanical stretch on MSCs are mediated, at least in part, by activation of the TGFβ1/Smad2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The formation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) via brown adipogenesis has become a notable process due to its ability to expend energy as heat with implications in the treatment of metabolic disorders and obesity. With the advent of complexity within white adipose tissue (WAT) along with inducible brown adipocytes (also known as brite and beige), there has been a surge in deciphering adipocyte biology as well as in vivo adipogenic microenvironments. A therapeutic outcome would benefit from understanding early events in brown adipogenesis, which can be accomplished by studying cellular differentiation. Pluripotent stem cells are an efficient model for differentiation and have been directed towards both white adipogenic and brown adipogenic lineages. The stem cell microenvironment greatly contributes to terminal cell fate and as such, has been mimicked extensively by various polymers including those that can form 3D hydrogel constructs capable of biochemical and/or mechanical modifications and modulations. Using bioengineering approaches towards the creation of 3D cell culture arrangements is more beneficial than traditional 2D culture in that it better recapitulates the native tissue biochemically and biomechanically. In addition, such an approach could potentially protect the tissue formed from necrosis and allow for more efficient implantation. In this review, we highlight the promise of brown adipocytes with a focus on brown adipogenic differentiation of stem cells using bioengineering approaches, along with potential challenges and opportunities that arise when considering the energy expenditure of BAT for prospective therapeutics.

Abstract
The n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) have been reported to improve obesity-associated metabolic disorders including chronic inflammation, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia. Growing evidence exits about adipose tissue as a target in mediating the beneficial effects of these marine n-3 PUFAs in adverse metabolic syndrome manifestations. Therefore, in this manuscript we focus in reviewing the current knowledge about effects of marine n-3 PUFAs on adipose tissue metabolism and secretory functions. This scope includes n-3 PUFAs actions on adipogenesis, lipogenesis and lipolysis as well as on fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis. The effects of n-3 PUFAs on adipose tissue glucose uptake and insulin signaling are also summarized. Moreover, the roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and AMPK activation in mediating n-3 PUFAs actions on adipose tissue functions are discussed. Finally, the mechanisms underlying the ability of n-3 PUFAs to prevent and/or ameliorate adipose tissue inflammation are also revised, focusing on the role of n-3 PUFAs-derived specialized proresolving lipid mediators such as resolvins, protectins and maresins.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of mechanical strain on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of cultured MSCs by stimulating MSCs cultured in general and adipogenic differentiation media using a mechanical strain device. Markers of osteogenic (Runx2, Osx, and I-collagen) and adipogenic (PPARγ-2, C/EBPα, and lipid droplets) differentiation were examined using real-time PCR, western blot, immunocytochemical, or histochemical stain analyses. Levels of Runx2 and Osx gradually increased in MSC groups in general medium subject to strain stimulation, as compared with in unstrained groups. After adding the stress signal, I-collagen protein levels of expression were obviously promoted in cells in comparison to the controls. The levels of PPARγ-2 and C/EBPα were decreased, and the emergence of lipid droplets was delayed in MSCs groups in adipogenic differentiation medium subject to strain stimulation, as compared with in unstrained groups. Mechanical strain can promote differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts and can impede differentiation into adipocytes. These results clarify the mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise on bone repair and reconstruction and provide a more adequate scientific basis for the use of exercise therapy in the treatment of obesity and metabolic osteoporosis.

Abstract
We have evaluated the effects of three different omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) – docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) on fat accumulation and expression of adipogenic and inflammatory markers using both 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes and differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our results indicate that ω-3 PUFAs induce the degradation of fatty acid synthase through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which is likely to have beneficial metabolic effect on adipose cells. Omega-3 PUFAs also increase overall levels of polyubiquitinated proteins, at least in part through decreasing the expression of proteasome subunits. Moreover, adipocytes are resistant to proteasome inhibition, which induces adipophilin while decreasing perilipin expression. On the other hand, ω-3 PUFAs decrease expression of SREBP1 while inducing expression of adipophilin and GLUT4. Moreover, all three ω-3 PUFAs appear to induce tumour necrosis factor-α without affecting NFκB levels. All three ω-3 PUFAs appear to have overall similar effects. Further research is needed to elucidate their mechanism of action.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of enrichment with n-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Enrichment with DHA but not EPA significantly increased the differentiation markers compared to control differentiated cells. DHA compared to EPA treatment led to a greater increase in adiponectin secretion and, conditioned media collected from DHA treated cells inhibited monocyte migration. Moreover, DHA treatment resulted in inhibition of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways. DHA treated cells predominantly accumulated DHA in phospholipids whereas EPA treatment led to accumulation of both EPA and its elongation product docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), an n-3 fatty acid. Of note, adding DPA to DHA inhibited DHA-induced differentiation. The differential effects of EPA and DHA on preadipocyte differentiation may be due, in part, to differences in their intracellular modification which could impact the type of n-3 fatty acids incorporated into the cells.

Abstract
Adipose tissue (AT) depots actively regulate whole body energy homeostasis by orchestrating complex communications with other physiological systems as well as within the tissue. Adipocytes readily respond to hormonal and nutritional inputs to store excess nutrients as intracellular lipids or mobilize the stored fat for utilization. Co-ordinated regulation of metabolic pathways balancing uptake, esterification, and hydrolysis of lipids is accomplished through positive and negative feedback interactions of regulatory hubs comprising several pleiotropic protein kinases and nuclear receptors. Metabolic regulation in adipocytes encompasses biogenesis and remodeling of uniquely large lipid droplets (LDs). The regulatory hubs also function as energy and nutrient sensors, and integrate metabolic regulation with intercellular signaling. Over-nutrition causes hypertrophic expansion of adipocytes, which, through incompletely understood mechanisms, initiates a cascade of metabolic and signaling events leading to tissue remodeling and immune cell recruitment. Macrophage activation and polarization toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype drives a self-reinforcing cycle of pro-inflammatory signals in the AT, establishing an inflammatory state. Sustained inflammation accelerates lipolysis and elevates free fatty acids in circulation, which robustly correlates with development of obesity-related diseases. The adipose regulatory network coupling metabolism, growth, and signaling of multiple cell types is exceedingly complex. While components of the regulatory network have been individually studied in exquisite detail, systems approaches have rarely been utilized to comprehensively assess the relative engagements of the components. Thus, need and opportunity exist to develop quantitative models of metabolic and signaling networks to achieve a more complete understanding of AT biology in both health and disease.

Abstract
Oscillatory mechanical stimulation at relatively high frequencies (0.1 Hz) has been shown to inhibit adipogenic and promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. However, for physiological interpretations and ease of implementation it is of interest to know whether different rates of mechanical stimulation can produce similar results. We hypothesized that relatively low frequency mechanical stimulation (0.01 Hz) can inhibit adipogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 mouse mesenchymal stem cells, even in a potent adipogenic differentiation medium. C3H10T1/2 cells were cultured in adipogenic medium under control (non-mechanically stimulated) conditions and under oscillatory surface stretch with 10% amplitude and 0.01 Hz frequency for 6h per day for up to 5 days. Cell population was assessed by counting and adipogenic differentiation was assessed by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) after 3 and 5 days. Involvement of the ERK signaling pathway was assessed by Western blot. Low frequency mechanical stimulation significantly decreased expression of PPARγ after 3 days and FABP4 after 3 and 5 days versus non-stimulated culture. ERK signaling was decreased in mechanically-stimulated culture, indicating a role in the inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Application of this study: Low frequency mechanical stimulation may provide a technically simple means for control of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation in cell-based therapies, particularly for inhibition of differentiation toward undesired adipogenic lineages.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are also implicated in the commitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) toward adipocytes. We tested that stretching of cells may downregulate BMP4 induction of MSC adipogenesis. C3H10T1/2 MSCs were pretreated with BMP4 and induced to differentiate to adipocytes using adipogenic hormonal inducers. To test the stretch effect on BMP4 function, cells were exposed to cyclic tensile stretch (10% strain, 0.25Hz, 120min/day) during the BMP4 pretreatment period. BMP4 induced MSC adipocytic commitment. Stretching during the BMP4 exposure could suppress BMP4 induction of MSC adipogenesis, as assessed by downregulated adipogenic transcription factors (PPARγ, C/EBPα, aP2) and decreased lipid accumulation. BMP4 signaled through Smad1/5/8 and p38MAPK, whereas cell stretch did not affect BMP4-induced activation in Smad or p38. On the other hand, cell stretch triggered significant ERK1/2 phosphorylation relative to BMP4 treatment alone cells. Further, stretch suppression of BMP4-induced MSC adipogenesis was significantly deteriorated if cells were stretched with ERK blocked by PD98059. Combined, these suggest that cell stretch suppresses the BMP4 induction of MSC adipogenesis potentially via upregulating ERK but not through the downregulation of Smad or p38. Our data on inhibiting MSC adipogenesis will be of significant interest for obesity and developmental mechanobiology studies.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanoresponsiveness of adipocytes and the characteristics of the mechanical stimuli that regulate adipogenesis is critically important in establishing knowledge in regard to the long-term effects of a sedentary lifestyle (or immobility in extreme medical conditions) as well as concerning obesity and related diseases. In this study we subjected 3T3-L1 preadipocytes cultured on elastic substrata to different levels of static equiaxial tensile strains within the physiological range, up to substrate tensile strain (STS) of 12%, while inducing differentiation in the cultures. Based on prior work which revealed that adipogenesis is accelerated in cultures subjected to STS of 12% by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase signaling pathway, we were specifically interested in identifying the STS levels which trigger this process. We hence monitored the production and accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) using a non-destructive, image-processing-based method that we have previously developed, for a period of 4 weeks. The experimental data demonstrated accelerated adipogenesis in the cultures subjected to STS levels of 6%, 9%, and 12% with respect to cultures subjected to STS of 3% and (non-stretched) control cultures. This accelerated adipogenic response to the large sustained STS manifested in significantly larger numbers and greater sizes of LDs in the cultures that were stretched to large STS levels (p < 0.05), starting at approximately day 14 following induction of differentiation. Hence, indeed, there appears to be a certain tensile strain threshold, or domain-which is found within the physiological range-above which the responsiveness of adipocytes to sustained static stretching increases and is manifested in accelerated adipogenesis.

Abstract
Understanding mechanotransduction in adipocytes is important for research of obesity and related diseases. We cultured 3T3-L1 preadipocytes on elastic substrata and applied static tensile strains of 12% to the substrata while inducing differentiation. Using an image processing method, we monitored lipid production for a period of 3-4 wk. The ratio of %-lipid area per field of view (FOV) in the stretched over nonstretched cultures was significantly greater than unity (P < 0.05), reaching ∼1.8 on average starting from experimental day ∼10. The superior coverage of the FOV by lipids in the stretched cultures was due to significantly greater sizes of lipid droplets (LDs) with respect to nonstretched cultures, starting from experimental day ∼10 (P < 0.05), and due to significantly more LDs per cell between days ∼10 and ∼17 (P < 0.05). The statically stretched cells also differentiated significantly faster than the nonstretched cells within the first ∼10 days (P < 0.05). Adding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) antagonist did not change these trends, as the %-lipid area per FOV in the stretched cultures that received this treatment was still significantly greater than in the nonstretched cultures without the PPARγ antagonist (14.44 ± 1.96% vs. 10.21 ± 3%; P < 0.05). Hence, the accelerated adipogenesis in the stretched cultures was not mediated through PPARγ. Nonetheless, inhibiting the MEK/MAPK signaling pathway reduced the extent of adipogenesis in the stretched cultures (13.53 ± 5.63%), bringing it to the baseline level of the nonstretched cultures without the MEK inhibitor (10.21 ± 3.07%). Our results hence demonstrate that differentiation of adipocytes can be enhanced by sustained stretching, which activates the MEK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Involvement of secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) in the stretch-induced production of untransformed prostaglandin H(2) (PGH(2)) in the endothelium of rabbit pulmonary arteries was investigated. The stretch-induced contraction was significantly inhibited by indoxam, a selective inhibitor for sPLA(2), and NS-398, a selective inhibitor for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Indoxam inhibited the RGD-sensitive-integrin-independent production of untransformed PGH(2), but did not affect the RGD-sensitive-integrin-dependent production of thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)). These results suggest that the stretch-induced contraction and untransformed PGH(2) production was mediated by sPLA(2)-COX-2 pathway, making it a new possible target for pharmacological intervention of pulmonary artery contractility.

Abstract
Various mechanical stimuli affect differentiation of mesoderm-derived cells such as osteoblasts or myoblasts, suggesting that adipogenesis may also be influenced by mechanical stimulation. However, effects of mechanical stimuli on adipogenesis are scarcely known. Compressive force was applied to a human preadipocyte cell line, SGBS. Levels of gene expression were estimated by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The accumulation of lipids was evaluated by Sudan III or Oil Red O staining. In SGBS cells subjected to a compressive force of 226 Pa for 12 h before adipogenic induction, adipogenesis was inhibited. Compressive force immediately after adipogenic induction did not affect the adipogenesis. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma2 and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) alpha mRNA during adipogenesis was inhibited by compressive force, whereas C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta mRNA levels were unaffected. In preadipocytes, compressive force increased mRNA levels of Krüppel-like factor 2, preadipocyte factor 1, WNT10b, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which are known as negative regulators for the PPARgamma2 and C/EBPalpha genes. Furthermore, a COX-2 inhibitor completely reversed the inhibition of adipogenesis by compressive force. In conclusion, compressive force inhibited adipogenesis by suppressing expression of PPARgamma2 and C/EBPalpha in a COX-2-dependent manner.

Abstract
The 3T3-L1 murine cell line is a robust and widely used model for the study of adipogenesis and processes occurring in mature adipocytes. The fibroblastic like cells can be induced by hormones to differentiate into mature adipocytes. In this study, the metabolic phenotype associated with differentiation of the 3T3-L1 cell line has been studied using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, direct infusion-mass spectrometry, and 13C substrate labeling in conjunction with multivariate statistics. The changes in metabolite concentrations at distinct periods during differentiation have been defined including alterations in the TCA cycle, glycolysis, the production of odd chain fatty acids by alpha-oxidation, fatty acid synthesis, fatty acid desaturation, polyamine biosynthesis, and trans-esterification to produce complex lipids. The metabolic changes induced during differentiation of the 3T3-L1 cell line were then compared with the metabolic differences between pre- and postdifferentiation primary adipocytes. These metabolic alterations reflect the changing role of the 3T3-L1 cells during differentiation, as well as possibly providing metabolic triggers to stimulate the processes which occur during differentiation.
