Figure 7 -. Conditioned media from eWAT explants of formerly obese mice inhibits adipocyte differentiation and reduces lipogenesis.
Gene expression for (A) adipocyte maturation genes and (B) collagen genes after differentiation induction in the presence of eWAT explant conditioned media from the respective diet conditions (n = 4). Oil red O staining of lipid droplets within differentiated adipocytes shown as (C) representative micrographs and (D) relative total extracted oil red O content from wells (n = 3). (E) eWAT explant multiplex cytokine array (n = 1 for ND and n = 2 for WL and HFD). (F) Extracted relative oil red O content from differentiated 3T3-L1 cells after treatment with (left) 10ng/mL of individual chemokines identified from multiplex cytokine array or (right) simultaneous treatment with all identified chemokines at 10ng/mL each (n ≥ 3). (G) Extracted relative oil red O absorbance after treatment with CM from ST-HFD, RC-HFD or LT-HFD with or without the addition of 50ng/mL neutralizing anti-TNFα antibody (αTNF) during differentiation (n ≥ 4). Undiff. = Undifferentiated Control, Diff. = Differentiated Control, All Chemok. = All identified chemokines. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p <0.0001, significance was only compared for ST-HFD versus RC-HFD, LT-HFD versus RC-HFD or ND versus WL unless otherwise noted.
