Abstract
Adipose tissue hypertrophy during obesity plays pleiotropic effects on health. Adipose tissue expandability depends on adipocyte size and number. In mature adipocytes, lipid accumulation as triglycerides into droplets is imbalanced by lipid uptake and lipolysis. In previous studies, we showed that adipogenesis induced by oleic acid is signed by size increase and reduction of FAT/CD36 (SR-B2) activity. The present study aims to decipher the mechanisms involved in fat mass regulation by fatty acid/FAT-CD36 signalling. Human adipose stem cells, 3T3-L1, and its 3T3-MBX subclone cell lines were used in 2D cell cultures or co-cultures to monitor in real-time experiments proliferation, differentiation, lipolysis, and/or lipid uptake and activation of FAT/CD36 signalling pathways regulated by oleic acid, during adipogenesis and/or regulation of adipocyte size. Both FABP4 uptake and its induction by fatty acid-mediated FAT/CD36-PPARG gene transcription induce accumulation of intracellular FABP4, which in turn reduces FAT/CD36, and consequently exerts a negative feedback loop on FAT/CD36 signalling in both adipocytes and their progenitors. Both adipocyte size and recruitment of new adipocytes are under the control of FABP4 stores. This study suggests that FABP4 controls fat mass homeostasis.
