Physiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Depending on its anatomical placement, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has been found to possess features more (e.g., aortic thoracic) or less (e.g., aortic abdominal) similar to brown\/beige adipose tissue in mice, whereas PVAT surrounding the mesenteric arteries and the caudal part of abdominal aorta is similar to white fat. PVAT is thought to influence vascular function through the effects of adipose-secreted molecules on vessels. Brown adipose tissue was recently shown to play differential secretory role <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> secretion of the so-called batokines but the involvement of differential batokine production in PVAT brown\/beige plasticity was unclear. The current study characterizes for the first time the expression of batokines at aortic thoracic PVAT (tPVAT) and aortic abdominal PVAT (aPVAT) in comparison with typical brown and white adipose depots, in basal and thermogenically activated conditions. We found that both PVAT depots increased their expression of genes encoding the batokines bone morphogenetic protein-8b (BMP8B), fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21), and kininogen-2 (KNG2) in response to cold, indicating that, under cold-induced thermogenic activation, both thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta would experience intense local exposure to these PVAT-secreted batokines. In contrast, the gene expression levels of growth\/differentiation factor-15 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A were induced only in tPVAT. Under short-term high-fat diet-induced thermogenic activation, the thoracic aorta would be specifically exposed to a local increase in PVAT-originating BMP8B, FGF21, and KNG2. Our data support the notion that acquisition of a brown\/beige phenotype in PVAT is associated with upregulation of batokines, mainly BMP8B, FGF21, and KNG2, that can differentially target the vascular system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2021.714530","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,4]],"date-time":"2021-08-04T06:23:55Z","timestamp":1628058235000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["A Differential Pattern of Batokine Expression in Perivascular Adipose Tissue Depots From Mice"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Alberto","family":"Mestres-Arenas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joan","family":"Villarroya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Giralt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesc","family":"Villarroya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marion","family":"Peyrou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijcard.2016.11.074","article-title":"\u2018Browning\u2019 the cardiac and peri-vascular adipose tissues to modulate cardiovascular risk","volume":"228","author":"Aldiss","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int.
