Abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue was excised from healthy female patients undergoing abdominoplastic surgery between June 2017 and May 2018. All subjects provided written informed consent. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical University of Vienna and was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (EK 1149/2011, EK 1032/2013). hAPCs were isolated and cultured as previously described 11 (link). For each experiment cells from at least three donors were isolated. For every experiment the sample size was determined empirically based on preliminary experiments. Details in Supplementary Methods.
Confluent cells were induced using differentiation media supplemented with 0,85µM insulin, 2nM triiodothyronine, 5µM rosiglitazone, 0,5mM isobutylmethylxanthine, 1µM dexamethasone (all Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 2 days, followed by post-differentiation media supplemented with 0,85µM insulin, 2nM triiodothyronine, 5µM rosiglitazone (all Sigma). The post-differentiation media was changed every other day until day 6. Cells were stimulated with human recombinant parathyroid hormone (MyBioSource, San Diego, CA, USA), isoproterenol (Sigma) or vehicle on day 6 or during the entire adipogenic differentiation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immortalized brown preadipocyte cells (iBAs) from mouse brown adipose tissue25 (link) were obtained from Dr. Bruce Spiegelman. iBAs were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco, Grand Island, NY), 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco), 1% penicillin/streptomycin solution (P/S; Gibco), and 2 μM HEPES (Gibco). Confluent iBAs were induced to differentiate from preadipocytes by adding induction cocktail containing 5 μM dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), 125 μM indomethacin (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.02 μM insulin (Sigma-Aldrich), 500 μM isobutylmethylxanthine (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), 1 nM triiodothyronine (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1 μM rosiglitazone (Sigma-Aldrich) in medium consisting of DMEM, 10% FBS, and 1% P/S. After 48 h of induction, the medium was replaced by maintenance medium consisting of DMEM, 10% FBS, 1% P/S with 0.02 μM insulin, 1 nM triiodothyronine, and 1 μM rosiglitazone. The maintenance medium was replaced every 2 days. For immunostaining and confocal applications, iBAs were plated on glass coverslips, which were pre-treated with 0.01% collagen type I (Sigma-Aldrich) in 0.01 M acetic acid.

Human SVCs derived from adipose tissue were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium and grown to confluence. Adipogenic differentiation was induced by addition of a hormone cocktail in media for two days [10% fetal calf serum; isobutylmethylxanthine (Sigma), 0.5 mM; dexamethasone (Sigma), 5 µM; rosiglitazone (Cayman), 1 µM; insulin (Sigma), 5 µM; triiodothyronine (Sigma), 1 nM; indomethacin (Sigma), 125 µM] followed by maintenance media until time of harvest [DMEM/F-12 medium in the presence of rosiglitazone (Cayman), 1 µM; insulin (Sigma), 5 µM; triiodothyronine (Sigma)]. For norepinephrine treatment (NW-NE and OW-NE groups), cells were treated with 1 μM of norepinephrine during adipogenic induction, and were then collected at days 0, 2, 5, 8, 11, and 14 during adipocyte differentiation for RT-PCR analysis.

Retrovirus production and infection from pMSCV-PRDM16 or pMSCV-GFP was performed as described previously (Seale et al., 2008 (link)). To generate stable cells, primary murine aortic SMCs were infected with the indicated retroviruses and selected with 3 µg/ml puromycin. Adipogenic differentiation was induced by addition of a hormone cocktail in media for two days [isobutylmethylxanthine (Sigma), 0.5 mM; dexamethasone (Sigma), 5 µM; rosiglitazone (Cayman), 1 µM; insulin (Sigma), 5 µM; triiodothyronine (Sigma), 1 nM; indomethacin (Sigma), 125 µM] followed by maintenance media until time of harvest [rosiglitazone (Cayman), 1 µM; insulin (Sigma), 5 µM; triiodothyronine (Sigma)]. Where indicated, cells were treated with forskolin (10 µM, Sigma) for 4 h. A detailed protocol for the isolation of primary aortic SMCs can be found in the Supplemental Experimental Procedures.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
