Human pre-adipocytes differentiate into BA-like cells. (a) Progenitors isolated from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of cervical fat showed fibroblast-like morphology (20 x) in proliferative medium and (b) differentiated into mature adipocytes (20 x) displaying multi- lobulated lipid droplets, (c) expressing high levels of traditional brown fat (UCP1, PGC-Ta, PROMTS and DIO2) but not classic brown fat-specific genes MPZL2 (N = 6). (d) Beige-specific genes were significantly higher in BA-like cells (N = 7). *P<0.01.
