The endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) stimulates adipogenesis via the cannabinoid receptor CB1 in adipose stromal cells (ASCs). However, AEA interacts also with nonclassical cannabinoid receptors, including transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPV)1 and G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)55. Their roles in AEA mediated adipogenesis of human ASCs have not been investigated. We examined the receptor-expressions by immunostaining on human ASCs and tested their functionality by measuring the expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) related to the transcription factor-complex AP-1 upon exposition to receptor agonists. Cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of specific ligands to investigate the effects on ASC viability (proliferation and metabolic activity), secretory activity, and AEA mediated differentiation. ASCs expressed both receptors, and their activation suppressed IEG expression. TRPV1 did not affect viability or cytokine secretion. GPR55 decreased proliferation, and it inhibited the release of hepatocyte growth factor. Blocking GPR55 increased the pro-adipogenic activity of AEA. These data suggest that GPR55 functions as negative regulator of cannabinoid mediated pro-adipogenic capacity in ASCs.

14-3-3ζ regulates adipogenesis by modulating chromatin accessibility during the early stages of adipocyte differentiation.

We previously established the scaffold protein 14-3-3ζ as a critical regulator of adipogenesis and adiposity, but the temporal specificity of its action during adipocyte differentiation remains unclear. To decipher if 14-3-3ζ exerts its regulatory functions on mature adipocytes or on adipose precursor cells (APCs), we generated 14-3-3ζKO and 14-3-3ζKO mouse models. Our findings revealed a pivotal role for 14-3-3ζ in APC differentiation in a sex-dependent manner, whereby male and female 14-3-3ζKO mice display impaired or potentiated weight gain, respectively, as well as fat mass.

The feed-forward loop between the transcription factors Ppar-gamma and C/ebp-alpha is critical for lineage commitment during adipocytic differentiation. Ppar-gamma interacts with epigenetic cofactors to activate C/ebp-alpha and the downstream adipocytic gene expression program. Therefore, knowledge of the epigenetic cofactors associated with Ppar-gamma, is central to understanding adipocyte differentiation in normal differentiation and disease.

Creeping fat is a typical feature of Crohn's disease. It refers to the expansion of mesenteric adipose tissue around inflamed and fibrotic intestines and is associated with stricture formation and intestinal obstruction. In this study, we characterize creeping fat as pro-adipogenic and pro-fibrotic.
