| Study Title | Establishing an insulin-sensitive human adipocyte culture model |
| Study Summary | To enable functional screens of insulin action in human fat cells, we generated adipocytes from adipose progenitor cells in vitro. Under standardized culture conditions, the adipocytes displayed limited insulin responsiveness. Our results prompted us to establish optimal insulin sensitizing conditions. One of the tested conditions resulted in fat cells with enhanced insulin responsiveness. To confirm that our results reflected expected effects in energy metabolism, we traced glucose conversion into central carbon metabolites following two hours of insulin stimulation. This revealed a robust increase in labeling of glycolytic and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates in insulin-treated versus untreated cells. |

| Project Title: | PLCXD1 as a Regulator of Insulin-Stimulated Lipid Metabolism in Human Adipocytes |
| Project Summary: | Insulin regulates adipocyte biology through transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms, yet many insulin-responsive targets remain poorly characterized. Phospholipase C X domain-containing protein-1 (PLCXD1) emerged as a regulator of insulin-stimulated lipogenesis, without affecting lipolysis or adipogenesis. Our findings establish PLCXD1 as an insulin-responsive effector of lipid metabolism, with implications for adipocyte dysfunction in insulin resistance. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004007 |
| Collection Summary: | Human preadipocytes were obtained from abdominal subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) of a male patient. |
| Sample Type: | Subcutaneous white adipose tissue |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004023 |
| Treatment Summary: | Cells were cultured in 5% CO2 at 37°C. Cells were proliferated in DMEM with 10 mmol/l HEPES, 10% FBS, 50 μg/mL penicillin/streptomycin and 2.5 ng/mL Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2). FGF was removed 24h prior to initiating differentiation. To initiate differentiation, media was switched to a 50/50 mixture of DMEM/F12 with 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) and insulin, triiodothyronine (T3), transferrin, dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) and rosiglitazone for three days, after which dexamethasone and IBMX were removed. Rosiglitazone was removed on day 10 of differentiation. Various T3, transferrin and insulin supplementation conditions were compared for insulin sensitization, so that afterwards all experiments were performed with T3 and transferrin maintained in the media throughout differentiation, while insulin was reduced on day 10 of differentiation. On D13, cells were washed once with DMEM no glucose/glutamine supplemented with HEPES and PEST prior to incubation in DMEM with glucose and for 3h at 37°C. Cells were washed with DMEM no glucose/no glutamine and media replaced with tracing media containing labeled C13-glucose and unlabeled glutamine with or without insulin. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004020 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Extraction of intracellular and extracellular metabolites was performed by a 1:1:1 methanol:water:chloroform extraction protocol. For the extraction of intracellular metabolites, the culture medium was removed and the cells were rinsed twice with 1 ml of 0.9% ice-cold NaCl. The rinsing solution was removed, and the metabolism of the cells was stopped by adding 400 µL of MeOH (-20 °C) followed by 400 µL of ice-cold H2O containing 10 µM d6-glutarate. Cells were collected using a cell lifter and 400 µL of chloroform was added. After shaking at 1,400 rpm and 4 °C for 20 min, the extraction mixture was centrifuged at 18,000 g and 4 °C for 5 min. Subsequently, the polar upper phase was collected and evaporated to complete dryness. |
