Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis of serum CCL22 concentration and fat mass ( n = 28 per group). ( B to F ) Body weight (B), energy consumption rate [(C) and (D)], and RER [(E) and (F)] ( n = 8 per group). Ten-week-old C57BL/6 male mice received saline or rCCL22 (20 μg/kg per day) at 6°C for 14 days with HFD. ( G to I ) Immunofluorescence (G), immunoblots (H) of UCP1, and mRNA expression (I) of thermogenic genes in iWAT ( n = 3 to 6 per group). Scale bar, 50 μm. ( J to L ) Immunofluorescence (J), immunoblots, and quantification [(K) and (L)] of UCP1 in iWAT ( n = 3 per group). SVF cells were extracted from HFD-fed iWAT, cultured with vehicle or rCCL22 (10 ng/ml) for 4 days, and then induced to beige adipocytes for 5 days. Scale bars, 25 μm. ( M ) Schematic diagram: The 6-month trial of obese adults participated in ADF: a 3-month weight loss period followed by a 3-month weight maintenance period. ( N and O ) Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis of human serum CCL22 levels, body weight (N), and fat mass (O) ( n = 40). ( P ) Human serum CCL22 levels ( n = 20). ( Q ) Schematic diagram: Human SVFs from iWAT were cultured at 31°C for 5 days, treated with vehicle or CCL22 (10 ng/ml) for 4 days, and then induced to beige adipocytes. ( R to T ) Immunoblots and quantification [(R) and (S)] of UCP1 and mRNA expression (T) of thermogenic genes in human beige adipocytes ( n = 3 to 6 per group). Data information: Results are presented as means ± SEM. [(A), (N), and (O)] Two-tailed Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis. [(F), (I), (L), (S), and (T)] * P ≤ 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 by nonpaired Student’s t test. (P) ** P < 0.01 by nonpaired Student’s t test compared with month 0 body weight. (B) * P ≤ 0.05 by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc Bonferroni tests.
