Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 5. Wnt+ adipocytes are essential for initiating adaptive thermogenesis. (A) Immunofluorescent staining of mitochondrial membrane potentials in Wnt+ adipocytes induced from iBAT-derived SVF cells of T/L-GFP mice. n = 5 independent experiments. Scale bar, 100 μm; close-up scale bar, 20 μm. (B) Quantification of staining in (A). AOD, average optical density. Data are mean ± s.e.m., unpaired Student’s t-test; ***p < 0.001. (C) OCR plots of four groups of adipocytes differentiated from GFPpos-1, GFPpos-2, GFPneg-1, and mBaSVF cell lines, respectively. n = 3 independent experiments. (D) Immunofluorescent staining of iWAT from T/L-GFP mice with 4-day thermal challenge showing close association of Wnt+ adipocytes with UCP1+ beige adipocytes. n = 5 mice. Scale bar, 100 μm. (E) Immunofluorescent staining of iWAT from tamoxifen-treated Tcf/LefCreERT2;Rosa26RmTmG mice after 4-day cold exposure. n = 8 mice. Scale bar, 50 μm. (F) Immunofluorescent staining of iWAT from tamoxifen-treated T/L-DTA mice after 4-day cold exposure. Before cold challenge, mice were rested for 48 hr after final tamoxifen treatment. n = 7 mice. Scale bar, 50 μm. (G) Quantitative RT- PCR analysis of gene expression in iWAT from control (Fabp4-Flex-DTA) and T/L-DTA mice in (F). n = 6 and 7 mice. Levels of mRNA expression are normalized to that of Adipoq. (H) Western blot analysis showing protein levels of UCP1, OXPHOS complexes, and β-actin in iWAT from tamoxifen- treated controls and T/L-DTA mice under cold (6 °C) and ambient (22 °C) temperatures. n = 4 mice. (I) Immunofluorescent staining for UCP1 (green) and Perilipin (red) in the iWAT from control and Akita mice. Scale bars, 50 μm. Data are mean ± s.e.m., *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n.s., not significant, two-way repeated ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test (C) or unpaired Student’s t-test (G).

Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 6. Wnt+ adipocytes enhance systemic glucose homeostasis. (A) Glucose tolerance test (GTT) with calculated area under the curve (AUC) in tamoxifen-treated control (Fabp4-Flex-DTA) and T/L-DTA mice on regular chow diet. n = 7 mice each. (B) Schematic of Wnt+ adipocyte gain-of-function studies by cell implantation. (C) Photographs of fat pad formed by implanted cells. Blue agarose beads were included to locate the Matrigel pad. Black arrow shows benign vascularization of fat pad within two weeks. Scale bar, 50 μm. (D) Immunofluorescent staining for Perilipin showing mature adipocytes and accompanied agarose beads (marked by B) in the ectopically formed fat pad in (C). Scale bar, 50 μm. (E) GTT with calculated AUC in mice that received implantation of committed pre-adipocytes/adipocytes from mBaSVF (n = 8 mice) or GFPpos-1 (n = 7 mice) cell lines for 2 weeks. Data are mean ± s.e.m., *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, two-way repeated ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test. AUC was analyzed by two-tailed t-test, p = 0.0012 (A), 0.0017 (E).
Techniques Used: Control, Staining, Two Tailed Test
