Insulin increases lipogenic enzyme activity in human adipocytes in primary culture

Abstract

Studies with human adipose tissue have demonstrated the presence of key enzymes of fat synthesis. However, long-term regulation of these enzymes has not been reported. To address this issue, we used human adipocytes in primary culture. Human adipose tissue was obtained from abdominal fat of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Adipocytes were isolated by collagenase digestion and cultured in media supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum. To evaluate metabolic activity of cultured cells, we assessed the following during the culture: DNA pattern, cell size, glucose consumption and activities for two lipogenic enzymes, fatty acid synthase (FAS) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH). Analysis of DNA pattern showed that human adipocytes cultured under the above condition did not undergo cell apoptosis. In addition, no significant change in the cell size occurred during 22 d of culture. Glucose consumption by cultured cells was also constant during the culture and was 60% greater in the presence of 10 nmol/L of insulin. Treatment of cultured human adipocytes with insulin for 3-22 d increased GPDH and FAS activity by 60% and 2.8-fold, respectively, compared to cells cultured without insulin. Furthermore, the increase in FAS ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
