We measured gene expression of paracrine regulators involved in adipocyte differentiation within the stromovascular fraction of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from obese individuals with (n=30) and without (n=18) type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite similar adiposity by design, subjects with T2DM had larger adipocytes (0.92+/-0.28 vs. 0.75+/-0.17 microl, p<0.05) than controls. Gene expression of the adipogenic marker aP2 was lower (0.35+/-0.16 vs. 0.58+/-0.27 arbitrary units, p<0.05) whereas the expression of matricellular peptidase, MMP2 was higher (1.65+/-0.17 vs. 1.27+/-0.21, p=0.02) in T2DM vs. controls. The gene expression levels between the aP2 and MMP2 were inversely correlated (r=-0.32, p=0.03). We conclude that early steps of adipogenesis may be impaired in T2DM independently of obesity due, in part, to an upregulation of the MMP2 transcription.
我们测定了患有2型糖尿病(T2DM)(n = 30)和未患2型糖尿病(n = 18)的肥胖个体腹部皮下脂肪组织血管基质部分中参与脂肪细胞分化的旁分泌调节因子的基因表达。尽管设计上肥胖程度相似,但患有T2DM的受试者的脂肪细胞比对照组更大(0.92±0.28对0.75±0.17微升,p<0.05)。与对照组相比,T2DM患者中脂肪生成标志物aP2的基因表达较低(0.35±0.16对0.58±0.27任意单位,p<0.05),而基质细胞蛋白酶MMP2的表达较高(1.65±0.17对1.27±0.21,p = 0.02)。aP2和MMP2之间的基因表达水平呈负相关(r = -0.32,p = 0.03)。我们得出结论,T2DM患者脂肪生成的早期步骤可能独立于肥胖而受损,部分原因是MMP2转录上调。
