Figure 4.1. Primary cultures of newly differentiated human adipocytes are composed of adipocytes and<br />

preadipocytes. Stromal vascular (SV) cells were isolated from human subcutaneous adipose tissue.<br />

Confluent SV cells were either induced to differentiation (+DM1) or kept in adipocyte medium (-DM1) for<br />

12 days. A: Morphological changes observed using phase contrast microscopy (10X), B: Gene expression of<br />

preadipocyte factor-1 (Pref-1) and adipocyte specific fatty acid binding protein (aP2) using RT-PCR, C:<br />

Immunolocalization of Pref-1(green) and aP2 (red), and D: Protein expression of peroxisome proliferator<br />

activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), aP2, Pref-1, and actin using western blotting. Data shown in all panels<br />

are representative of three or four independent experiments.<br />
