Aim: To assess the effects of hypoxia on human orbital fibroblasts (OF) on adipogenesis and adipocytokine production.
Methods: Human OF were derived from tissues obtained from patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) and from patients without known thyroid diseases undergoing blepharoplasty. The OF were cultured separately under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Comparisons of adipocytokine concentrations using multiplex ELISA and lipid accumulation in the cells using Oil Red O staining were subsequently performed.
Results: There was increased adipogenesis in OF from GO subject when exposed to hypoxic culture conditions. This was not observed in OF from normal controls. Hypoxia led to an increase in leptin and a decrease in MCP-1 secretion in OF cultures.
Conclusion: Hypoxia induces adipogenesis in OF and may represent a mechanism by which smoking contributes to deterioration of GO. We also found novel changes to leptin and MCP-1 production in OF cultures exposed to hypoxia suggesting important roles of these cytokines in the disease process.

Chemerin is a chemotactic adipokine that participates in a multitude of physiological processes, including adipogenesis, leukocyte chemotaxis, and neuroinflammation. Chemerin exerts biological functions through binding to one or more of its G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), namely chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1), G protein-coupled receptor 1 (GPR1), and CC-motif receptor-like 2 (CCRL2). Of these receptors, CMKLR1 and GPR1 have been confirmed as signaling receptors of chemerin, whereas CCRL2 serves as a chemerin-binding protein without transmembrane signaling.

Bone marrow and teeth contain mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that could be used for cell-based regenerative therapies. MSCs from these two tissues represent heterogeneous cell populations with varying degrees of lineage commitment. Although human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have been extensively studied, it is not yet fully defined if their adipogenic potential differs.

Three butanolides derivatives, grewiifolides A-C, and nine clerodane diterpenes, grewiifolins M-U, as well as a known sterol were isolated from the twigs of Casearia grewiifolia. The chemical structures and configurations of all isolates were established by various spectroscopic means and chemical derivatization. In a cell-based phenotypic assay using the adipogenesis model of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs), grewiifolide B significantly promoted adiponectin-secretion with EC value of 24.

Background: Smoking and nicotine impose detrimental health effects including adipose tissue dysfunction. Despite extensive physiological evidence, the cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood, with few studies examining the effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) or nicotine on adipocyte differentiation.
Methods: Primary human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were exposed to CSE or nicotine (50-500 ng/ml) during adipogenic differentiation.
