We examined the effects of a 9-week exercise training (TR) in Wistar male rats, beginning at 4 weeks of age, on the density of endothelial cells (ECs) in epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) and the mRNA expression of angiogenic factors in adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells. The number of ECs and mRNA expressions were assessed by lectin staining and real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Compared with control (CR) rats, TR rats gained weight more slowly and had significantly lower final weight of WAT due to the reduction in the size and the number of adipocytes. TR significantly increased the number of ECs per square millimeter and per adipocyte (1.37- and 1.23-fold, respectively) in WAT. This is probably because the number of adipocytes is fewer while the number of ECs is constant in the WAT of TR rats, because the regression line of TR rats for adipocyte number-dependent EC number was shifted toward the left without significant differences in the slopes between groups. TR also induced the upregulation of mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf)-A and Vegf-receptor-2 in SVF cells, thereby retaining a constant number of ECs in the WAT.
我们研究了 9 周的运动训练(TR)对 4 周龄雄性 Wistar 大鼠附睾白色脂肪组织(WAT)内皮细胞(ECs)密度和脂肪组织基质血管部分(SVF)细胞血管生成因子 mRNA 表达的影响。通过凝集素染色和实时逆转录聚合酶链反应分别评估 EC 数量和 mRNA 表达。与对照组(CR)大鼠相比,TR 大鼠体重增加较慢,WAT 的最终体重明显较低,这是由于脂肪细胞的大小和数量减少所致。TR 显著增加了 WAT 中每平方毫米和每个脂肪细胞的 EC 数量(分别增加了 1.37 倍和 1.23 倍)。这可能是因为 TR 大鼠的 WAT 中脂肪细胞数量减少,而 EC 数量保持不变,因为 TR 大鼠的脂肪细胞数量依赖的 EC 数量回归线向左偏移,但组间斜率无显著差异。TR 还诱导了 SVF 细胞中血管内皮生长因子(Vegf)-A 和 Vegf 受体-2 的 mRNA 表达上调,从而在 WAT 中保持 EC 数量的恒定。
