Abstract

To evaluate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein(BMP7)on the differentiation of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells(AD-MSCs)isolated from different adipose tissues into brown adipocytes in rats. Primary AD-MSCs were isolated from rate interscapular brown adipose tissue(iBAT),inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue(sWAT),and epididymal white adipose tissue(eWAT),respectively,and then cultivated in vitro. Differentiation of AD-MSCs into brown adipocytes was induced by BMP7. The characteristics of brown adipocytes were detected by immunofluorescence staining and oil red staining of cells. The expression levels of brown adipocyte-related genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction. AD-MSCs from iBAT and sWAT were differentiated into cluster multilocular cells,which were stained red by oil red "O"staining and showed uncoupling protein 1-positive by immunofluorescent staining method. AD-MSCs from eWAT had a small number of scattered multilocular cells and showed uncoupling protein 1-negative. The results of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that the uncoupling protein 1 gene was highly expressed in the iBAT group and sWAT group but was negative in the eWAT group. AD-MSCs isolated from different adipose tissues in rats have different gene expression profiles and differentiation potentials.
