The messenger RNA (mRNA) distribution of 60 proteins was examined in the 3 fractions obtained by collagenase digestion (fat cells and the nonfat cells comprising the tissue remaining after collagenase digestion [matrix] and the stromovascular cells) of omental adipose tissue obtained from morbidly obese women undergoing bariatric surgery. Fat cells were enriched by at least 3-fold as compared with nonfat cells in the mRNAs for retinol binding protein 4, angiotensinogen, adipsin, glutathione peroxidase 3, uncoupling protein 2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector A, fat-specific protein 27, 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, glycerol channel aquaporin 7, NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase 1, cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase 3B, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, insulin receptor, and amyloid A1. Fat cells were also enriched by at least 26-fold in the mRNAs for proteins involved in lipolysis such as hormone-sensitive lipase, lipoprotein lipase, adipose tissue triglyceride lipase, and FAT/CD36. The relative distribution of mRNAs in cultured preadipocytes was also compared with that of in vitro differentiated adipocytes derived from human omental adipose tissue. Cultured preadipocytes had far lower levels of the mRNAs for inflammatory proteins than the nonfat cells of omental adipose tissue. The nonfat cells were enriched by at least 5-fold in the mRNAs for proteins involved in the inflammatory response such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin lbeta, cyclooxygenase 2, interleukin 24, interleukin 6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 plus the mRNAs for osteopontin, vaspin, endothelin, angiotensin II receptor 1, butyrylcholinesterase, lipocalin 2, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1. The cells in the adipose tissue matrix were enriched at least 3-fold as compared with the isolated stromovascular cells in the mRNAs for proteins related to the inflammatory response, as well as osteopontin and endothelial nitric oxide synthase. We conclude that the mRNAs for inflammatory proteins are primarily present in the nonfat cells of human omental adipose tissue.

There is growing evidence that plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is expressed in adipose tissue and its expression is implicated in inflammation that accompanies obesity-associated diseases. The physiological role of other genes implicated in the plasminogen-activating cascade such as urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), u-PA receptor (u-PAR) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) in ovine adipose tissue remains unknown. The objective of this study was to examine the changes in the expression of four plasminogen activator (PA)-related genes during the early post-weaning period in dairy ewes. A total of 21 subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were obtained from seven lactating dairy ewes of the Chios breed at weeks 1, 2 and 4 after weaning. Results indicated that expression of all PA-related genes was detected in most of the samples examined. Greatest expression of u-PAR corresponded to highest (week 1), while greatest expression of PAI-2 corresponded to lowest (week 4) rate of lipolysis, as indicated by the expression of hormone-sensitive lipase, in the ovine adipose tissue. There were no significant differences in the expression of the other two PA-related genes (u-PA, PAI-1) throughout the experimental period. Plasminogen activator-related genes are not expressed in a coordinated manner in the adipose tissue of lactating dairy sheep in the early post-weaning period. In conclusion, adipose tissue mobilization is correlated with highest expression of u-PAR and lowest expression of PAI-2.
