Figure 4.3. LPS stimulates inflammatory cytokine gene expression predominantly in the stromal vascular<br />

fraction (SVF) obtained from primary cultures of newly differentiated human adipocytes. Differentiated<br />

cultures of human adipocytes were fractionated using 6% Iodixanol (1.03g/ml). Lipid-laden adipocytes fraction<br />

(ADF �) were floated, leaving the stromal vascular fraction (SVF �) as pellets. A: Fractionations were<br />

verified <strong>by</strong> measuring the gene expression of aP2 and adipocyte enhancer-binding protein1 (AEBP-1) using<br />

real time qPCR and Pref-1 using RT-PCR, B: Cultures of differentiated human adipocytes (day 14) were<br />

incubated in the presence or absence of LPS (10 ng/ml) for 3 h before fractionation. Relative mRNA<br />

expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-<br />

1β), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), adiponectin (APM-1), and PPARγ were investigated using qPCR. Means (+<br />

SEM, n=4) not sharing a common superscript differ significantly (p
