AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how N-glycosylation, a type of protein modification, impacts the differentiation of fat cells (adipocytes) during their development.
  • Researchers employed proteomics and glycopeptide analysis to compare protein expression and modifications between stem-like cells and fully differentiated adipocytes, identifying key proteins involved in the adipogenic process.
  • Findings revealed that CD36, a protein important for fatty acid handling, had multiple sites of N-glycosylation, suggesting this modification could be significant in the development of adipocytes and warrants further study.

Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate the role of N-glycosylation modification of proteins in adipocyte differentiation during the adipogenic process.

Methods: SVF cells and adipocytes were analyzed for proteomics and intact N-glycopeptide modificationomics.Differential expression of proteins, glycoforms, and sites between the two groups was screened and subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. The top 20 most significantly differentially expressed adipogenic differentiation-related proteins were identified, and the most pronouncedly altered proteins were analyzed for glycoforms, glycan chains, and sites.

Results: Proteomics analysis identified 39,392 peptides and 5208 proteins, while intact N-glycopeptide modification profiling identified 3293 intact glycopeptides, 426 proteins, and 161 glycan chains. Proteomics identified 2510 differentially expressed proteins, with CD36 (Cluster of Differentiation 36, CD36) significantly upregulated. In adipocytes, CD36 had 4 N-glycosylation sites: N79, N220, N320, N417, with N320 being a newly identified site. GO enrichment results indicated that CD36 is associated with fatty acid oxidation, lipid oxidation, and fatty acid uptake into cells.

Conclusion: Multiple proteins undergo N-glycosylation modification during adipocyte differentiation, with CD36, a fatty acid translocase, being significantly expressed in adipocytes. This suggests that N-glycosylation modification of CD36 may play a crucial role in adipocyte differentiation, providing a foundation for further investigation into the function of CD36 N-glycosylation in adipocyte differentiation.

Endocrine disruptors (EDs) can mimic or interfere with hormones in the body, leading to non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Susceptibility to EDs increases during prenatal and postnatal life, a critical time window. This review aims to summarize the latest evidence on the relation of early life exposure to some EDs with obesity and the other metabolic disorders.

Background: Obesity is becoming one of the major non-communicable diseases with increasing incidence and risks that cannot be ignored. However effective and safe clinical treatment strategies still need to be deeply explored. Increased number and volume of adipocytes lead to overweight and obesity.

Background: Obesity and related metabolic disorders have reached epidemic levels, calling for diverse therapeutic strategies. Altering nutrient intake, timing and quantity by intermittent fasting seems to elicit beneficial health effects by modulating endocrine and cell signaling networks. This study explores the impact of cyclic nutrient availability in the form of every-other-day fasting (EODF) on human adipose stem cells (ASCs).

Sucralose, a commonly nonnutritive sweetener used in daily products of habitual diet, is related to impairing the gut microbiome by disrupting inflammatory response, promoting weight gain by increasing adipose tissue and promoting chronic inflammatory processes. Considering the impact of sucralose in the development of metabolic diseases, in this work, we focused on the impact of sucralose on the adipocyte differentiation process to determine if sucralose can promote adipogenesis and increase adipose tissue depots in PCS 210 010 human preadipocytes cell line. Sucralose at 25 (S25) and 100 ng/µL (S100) concentrations were tested against control with no edulcorant (NS) during the adipocyte differentiation process at 48 h and 96 h.
