- Abstract
In adipose tissue, growth hormone (GH) stimulates lipolysis, leading to an increase in plasma free fatty acid levels and a reduction in insulin sensitivity. In our previous studies, we have found that GH increases lipolysis by reducing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) transcription activity, leading to a reduction of tat-specific protein 27 (FSP27, also known as CIDEC) expression. In previous studies, our laboratory uncovered 3 developmentally distinct subpopulations of white adipocytes. In this manuscript, we show that one of the subpopulations, termed type 2 adipocytes , has increased GH-induced signaling and lipolysis compared to other adipocyte subtypes. To assess the physiological role of GH-mediated lipolysis mediated by this adipocyte subpopulation, we specifically expressed human FSP27 (hFSP27) transgene in type 2 adipocytes (type2Ad-hFSP27tg mice). Systemically, male type2Ad-hFSP27tg mice displayed reduced serum glycerol release and nonesterified fatty acids levels after acute GH treatment, and improvement in acute, but not chronic, GH-induced glucose intolerance. Furthermore, we demonstrate that type2Ad-hFSP27tg mice displayed improved hepatic insulin signaling. Taken together, these results indicate that this adipocyte subpopulation is a critical regulator of the GH-mediated lipolytic and metabolic response. Thus, further investigation of adipocyte subpopulations may provide novel treatment strategies to regulate GH-induced glucose intolerance in patients with growth and metabolic disorders.
