Outline of Final Research Achievements

Subcutaneous fat tissue are consisted of two layers. One is superficial subcutaneous layer, in which fat lobules are surrounded by firm septum. The other is deep subcutaneous layer, in which lat lobulues are surrounded by thin septum. It is thought that there are differences in physical properties between two layers. Recently, it is reported that accumulation of fat not in superficial layer but in deep layer is associated with metabolic syndrome. However, underlying mechanism was unclear. In the study, we performed cellular analyses of primary cultured human cells harvested from subcutaneous tissue. The subject of analysis in the study was ceiling culture derived-preadipocytes (ccdPAs). We revealed that ccdPAs from superficial layer retained higher adipogenic potential than those from deep layer even after long term culture. In cells from superficial layer showed higher lower DNA methyaltion of PPARG and higher PPARG expression.
