- Cs-DLK1â/cs-CD34+ ASCs in SVF of human sWAT are cs-CD146â.
- Cs-DLK1â/cs-CD34+/cs-CD146â ASCs contain low amounts of CD146 protein in Golgi apparatus.
- SVF contains 2 cs-DLK1+/cs-CD34dim/+ stromal cell population, a cs-CD146â and a cs-CD146+.
- Only cs-DLK1+/cs-CD34+/cs-CD146+ stromal cells contain high level of CD146 protein.
- Wavy CD34â/CD146+ and CD34dim/CD146+ cells were detected in stroma of small vessels.
To precisely characterize CD146 in adipose stromal/progenitor cells (ASCs) we sorted the stromal vascular faction (SVF) of human abdominal subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) according to cell surface (cs) expression of CD146, DLK1 and CD34. This test identified three main SVF cell populations: ~Â 50% cs-DLK1â/cs-CD34+/cs-CD146â ASCs, ~Â 7.5% cs-DLK1+/cs-CD34dim/+/cs-CD146+ and ~Â 7.5% cs-DLK1+/cs-CD34dim/+/cs-CD146â cells. All cells contained intracellular CD146. Whole mount fluorescent IHC staining of small vessels detected CD146+ endothelial cells (CD31+/CD34+/CD146+) and pericytes (CD31â/CD34â/CD146+ ASCs). The cells in the outer adventitial layer showed the typical ASC morphology, were strongly CD34+ and contained low amounts of intracellular CD146 protein (CD31â/CD34+/CD146+). Additionally, we detected wavy CD34â/CD146+ and CD34dim/CD146+ cells. CD34dim/CD146+ cells were slightly more bulky than CD34â/CD146+ cells. Both CD34â/CD146+ and CD34dim/CD146+ cells were detached from the inner pericyte layer and protruded into the outer adventitial layer. Cultured early passage ASCs contained low levels of CD146 mRNA, which was expressed in two different splicing variants, at a relatively high amount of the CD146-long form and at a relatively low amount of the CD146-short form. ASCs contained low levels of CD146 protein, which consisted predominantly long form and a small amount of short form. The CD146 protein was highly stable, and the majority of the protein was localized in the Golgi apparatus. In conclusion, the present study contributes to a better understanding of the spatial localization of CD34+/CD146+ and CD34â/CD146+ cells in the adipose niche of sWAT and identifies CD146 as intracellular protein in cs-DLK1â/cs-CD34+/cs-CD146â ASCs.
