We aim to establish a standardized approach for the isolation culture and adipogenic induction of stromal vascular fraction-derived preadipocytes from mass PVAT. This protocol enables us to conduct further investigations into PVAT function and into the communication between periaortic adipocytes and vascular cells in vitro. The main challenges we currently face in our experiments include the restricted of availability of PVAT and the requirements for additional human and the material resources when compared to using immortalized preadipocytes.
Our protocol allows for the study of perivascular adipose tissue function and it's relationship with vascular cells. We also offers a basis for studying PVAT ring and genes, and heterogeneity, and provides a platform for exploring the important regulator of PVAT differentiation and the adipogenesis in vitro.
