Background: The hallmark of obesity is the excessive accumulation of triglyceride (TG) in adipose tissue. Apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) has been shown to influence the prevalence and pathogenesis of obesity. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be clarified.
Methods: Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) were treated with 600 ng/ml human recombinant ApoA5 protein. The effect of ApoA5 on intracellular TG content and adipogenic related factors expression were determined. Furthermore, the effect of ApoA5 on CIDE-C expression was also observed.
Results: During the process of adipogenesis, ApoA5 treatment reduced the intracellular accumulation of lipid droplets and the TG levels; meanwhile, ApoA5 down-regulated the expression levels of adipogenic related factors, including CCAAT enhancer-binding proteins α/β (C/EBPα/β), fatty acid synthetase (FAS), and fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4). Furthermore, the suppression of adipogenesis by ApoA5 was mediated through the inhibition of CIDE-C expression, an important factor which promotes the process of adipogenesis. However, over-expressing intracellular CIDE-C could lead to the loss-of-function of ApoA5 in inhibiting AMSCs adipogenesis.
Conclusions: In conclusion, ApoA5 inhibits the adipogenic process of AMSCs through, at least partly, down-regulating CIDE-C expression. The present study provides novel mechanisms whereby ApoA5 prevents obesity via AMSCs in humans.

Fat-Specific Protein 27 (FSP27) belongs to a small group of vertebrate proteins containing a Cell-death Inducing DNA fragmentation factor-α-like Effector (CIDE)-C domain and is involved in lipid droplet (LD) accumulation and energy homeostasis. FSP27 is predominantly expressed in white and brown adipose tissues, as well as liver, and plays a key role in mediating LD-LD fusion. No orthologs have been identified in invertebrates or plants.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles and a central site for lipid synthesis, storage, and mobilization. The size of LDs reflects the dynamic regulation of lipid metabolism in cells. Previously, we found that cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector C (CIDEC) mediates LD fusion and growth by lipid transfer through LD-LD contact sites in adipocytes and hepatocytes.

Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-α-like effector b (CIDEb) is a member of the CIDE family of apoptosis-inducing factors, CIDEa and CIDEc have been reported to be Lipid droplets (LDs)-associated proteins that promote atypical LD fusion in adipocytes, and responsible for liver steatosis under fasting and obese conditions, whereas CIDEb promotes lipid storage under normal diet conditions [1], and promotes the formation of triacylglyceride-enriched VLDL particles in hepatocytes [2]. Here, we report the gene cloning, chromosome mapping, tissue distribution, genetic expression analysis, and identification of a novel splicing variant of the porcine CIDEb gene. Sequence analysis shows that the open reading frame of the normal porcine CIDEb isoform covers 660bp and encodes a 219-amino acid polypeptide, whereas its alternative splicing variant encodes a 142-amino acid polypeptide truncated at the fourth exon and comprised of the CIDE-N domain and part of the CIDE-C domain.

Prior to hibernation, the brown bear (Ursus arctos) exhibits unparalleled weight gain. Unlike humans, weight gain in bears is associated with lower levels of circulating free fatty acids (FFA) and increased insulin sensitivity. Understanding how free-ranging brown bears suppress lipolysis when gaining weight may therefore provide novel insight toward the development of human therapies.
