广泛用于昆虫器官培养研究昆虫内分泌学、 发展和代谢功能，探讨特定的器官与共生细菌29，，3031，之间的相互作用 32，，3334。体外脂肪体器官培养专门用于研究氨基酸运输及卵黄蛋白生产的蚊子和其他双翅目16，，1735规例 》,36.在卵黄发生的过程中，蚊子脂肪体使用数组的特异性高氨基酸转运载体从血淋巴，合成大量的卵黄蛋白12 导入血粉衍生的氨基酸19，，3536。肥胖的身体文化是有助于在这方面18的脂肪体营养要求划定。
起始物料，雌性蚊子，质量是这些实验成功的关键。在下拥挤的环境中成长和通常对高营养饲喂蚊子幼虫产生最好的结果。有一些重要的变量，建立蚊子脂肪体文化条件在实验室在实验设计时要考虑。我们在以往的研究脂肪体基因表达存在显著差异取决于个人的生活史和营养状况的蚊子11，22展示。蚊子文化条件应该是一致的以减少大小的变化程度和实验蚊子的营养储备。此外，应培训人员执行夹层动脉瘤，以确保快速、 准确，夹层动脉瘤的结果一致。可以使用不同染色方法37，38检查孤立脂肪体内细胞活力。
肥胖的身体文化实验的实验设计应考虑到夹层动脉瘤的数量可能在给定的时间段。需要大量的脂肪体时，可能需要多个夹层会话或多个解剖器。有是今后申请体外脂肪体文化在蚊子和其他昆虫的种类繁多。它将用于测试潜在的候选药物来控制昆虫尤其有用。转基因技术在昆虫来表达特定的记者蛋白质脂肪体滋养层细胞中的使用将开放发展强大生物鉴定为脂肪体生理研究的新方法。

蚊子是破坏性的人类疾病，包括疟疾、 登革热、 基孔肯亚热和 Zika1，，23向量。尽管激烈的国际努力来制止这些疾病的发生，控制传播疾病的蚊子，蚊子传染的疾病疫情是仍很常见，尤其是在发展中国家。有效的疫苗对抗许多这类疾病是不可用或效力有限的4，5。防止疫情的最有效途径是控制蚊子种群，主要使用杀虫剂处理。然而，杀虫剂的抗药性已在许多蚊子种群发展，成为一个共同的问题，围绕世界6，，78。蚊子生理学研究的新型工具和战略，以控制疾病的发展至关重要。
蚊子脂肪体贮藏营养、 代谢平衡、 复制和异生分解代谢9，10，，1112中央的作用。它是甘油三酯、 糖原和形式的贮藏蛋白质中氨基酸的主要存储机构。它也可以作为大多数血淋巴蛋白和代谢产物合成的位置。肥胖的身躯在蚊子之后他们采取血粉13，14, 发生在女性的卵黄蛋白生产的唯一来源。
肥胖的主要细胞类型是身体的大型、 多倍体的滋养细胞或脂肪细胞3，9，，1012。脂肪体组织组织成裂片或鞘和可以见于所有身体部位的蚊子，与最大的部分，位于的腹部的脂肪体大裂片相连的身体腹壁。
这里介绍的蚊子脂肪体文化系统开发了在 70 年代和仍然是研究肥胖的身体生理10，尤其是在当前分析技术结合的有力工具。这种技术的基础基于身体腹壁和关联的脂肪体组织的隔离。腹部的角质层的疏水性质使其漂浮在培养基中，与附加的裂片的沉浸的腹部脂肪体的表面。气门和 tracheolar 结构进行维护，确保培养组织氧合。今后，我们将这些准备工作称为"脂肪体"。孤立的脂肪体存活超过 12 小时时孵化在适当的媒介 （未发表的结果）。脂肪体文化是一个宝贵的工具，已解决各种问题关于脂肪体内分泌学和生理学9，，1012，15，16， 17。
体外培养的脂肪体可以遭受各种实验和控制的处理，可由调查员后决定的时间。在年底的潜伏期，脂肪体可以收集和处理下游的分析，包括 qPCR16，，1718，19，印迹18 20、 蛋白质组学21或代谢组学22。可以在不同的尺度，从群体可以共同培养的几百个人脂肪体上执行实验。
这里包括代表结果来自脂肪体培养氨基酸和类固醇激素 20-羟基蜕皮激素来模拟卵黄16，17，血粉激活， 2324。我们进行了分析和比较基因差异表达的不激活与活化脂肪体通过下一代测序分析。

fat body organ culture system in aedes aegypti, a vector of zika virus

昆虫的脂肪体扮演主角在昆虫代谢和营养存储，镜像功能的肝脏和脂肪组织中的脊椎动物。昆虫的脂肪体组织通常分布在昆虫全身。然而，它往往是集中在腹部和附加到身体腹壁。
蚊子脂肪体是关键产蛋的蛋黄蛋白的唯一来源。因此，蚊子脂肪体组织的体外文化代表的蚊子生理学研究的重要制度代谢，并最终产蛋。肥胖的身体文化过程始于溶液和试剂，包括氨基酸股票解决方案、白纹伊蚊盐股票生理盐水 (APS)、 钙股票解决方案，以及脂肪体培养基的制备。脂肪体夹层，其次是实验性的治疗继续该过程。治疗后，可以执行各种不同的分析，包括 RNA 序列 (RNA Seq)、 qPCR、 西方墨水、 蛋白质组学、 代谢组学。
在我们的示例实验中，我们说明了通过切除和脂肪体文化协议从黄热病蚊子，蚊，虫媒病毒包括登革热、 基孔肯亚热和 Zika 主矢。从已知的上调蛋黄蛋白与控制生理条件下培养的脂肪体 RNA 受到 RNA 序列分析，表明本程序用于基因表达调查潜在的效用。

作为一个例子，我们进行了脂肪体文化实验和刺激孤立的脂肪体通过孵化它们对一个包含所有二十种天然氨基酸和昆虫类固醇激素 20-羟基蜕皮 (10 µ M) 为 6 h 的平衡的混合物的解决方案.作为对照，脂肪体孵育在 AP 上相当长的时间。
孵化后总 RNA 是孤立使用三试剂27按照制造商的说明。提取的 RNA 样品的质量进行评估使用分光光度法、 荧光定量和琼脂糖凝胶电泳。RNA 序列库使用 4 μ g 的总 RNA 生成和进行量化使用两个不同的技术。随后，图书馆被送往商业供应商配对末端测序。
这次实验的结果是表 6所示。基因显示对氨基酸和 20-羟基蜕皮酮的最强转录反应是主要卵黄蛋白基因，与以前的结果11。
图 1显示热地图指示的 1,256 基因的表达水平差异表达基因片段体外培养脂肪体后两种不同方法治疗。
