Abstract

A method of reprogramming omental adipose cells to a subcutaneous-like lineage is presented herein. The method comprises exposing omental adipose cells to a small molecule such as Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF); TRC105; long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) MALAT1, GAS5, linc-VLDLR; transcription factors Sox15, Oct4, KLF4, Nanog, Sal4, BMI1; or combinations thereof.

Claims (16)

1. A method of altering a metabolic profile of omental obese adipose cells to a subcutaneous lean adipose cells metabolic profile comprising exposing the omental obese adipose cells in vitro to conditioned medium from cultures of subcutaneous lean adipose derived stem cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein expression of transcription factors of the omental obese adipose stem cells is changed.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the expression of transcription factors of the omental obese adipose cells resembles a subcutaneous lean adipose stem cell transcription profile.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the omental obese adipose stem cells are exposed to 50% v/v of the conditioned medium.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the omental obese adipose cells are exposed to the conditioned medium for 72 hours.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conditioned medium contains elevated expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) MALAT1, GAS5, and linc-VLDLR.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conditioned medium contains elevated levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein transcription factors Sox15 and Oct4 are upregulated in the omental obese adipose cells after exposure to the conditioned medium.

9. A method of altering omental obese adipose cells metabolic profile to a subcutaneous lean adipose cells metabolic profile comprising exposing the omental obese adipose cells in vitro to exosomes from conditioned media of subcutaneous lean adipose derived stem cells.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein expression of transcription factors of the omental obese adipose stem cells is changed.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the expression of transcription factors of the omental adipose obese cells resembles a subcutaneous lean adipose stem cell transcription profile.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the omental obese adipose stem cells are exposed to 10 μg exosomes.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the omental adipose obese cells are exposed to the exosomes for 72 hours.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transcription factors Sox 15 and Oct4 are upregulated in the omental adipose cells exposed to the exosomes.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the exosomes contain elevated expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) MALAT1, GAS5, and linc-VLDLR.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the exosomes contain elevated levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).
