Accumulation of poorly differentiating APs in human Om adipose tissue. A: FACS strategy: freshly isolated stromal vascular cells from Om and Abdsc adipose tissues were first sorted to remove hematopoietic and endothelial cell (Lin+, CD45+/CD14+/CD31+, P4) population. Lin/CD29+ were then further selected for CD34+/CD90+ cells (P8). B: mRNA expression levels of ZNF423 (marker for AP [left]) and CD68 (macrophage marker [right]) were measured in total stromal and sorted cells from Om. Data are from three donors. C: The number of APs (CD45/CD14/CD31/CD29+/CD34+/CD90+) is presented as cells per gram of adipose tissue (left) and percent of the total number of stromal cells (right). *P < 0.05 (paired t tests). D: Paired samples of total stromal cells and sorted APs from Om and Abdsc were grown and differentiated. Protein expression levels of adipocyte markers, ATGL, ADPN, FABP4, and HSP90, were measured on day 14 of differentiation. Representative blots from two independent experiments are shown.
