Different grades of apoptosis in brown and white adipocytes in culture. (a) Phase-contrast photomicrographs of brown and white adipocytes differentiated in culture. Magnification, |[times]| 20. (b) DNA fragmentation in cells treated for 5|[thinsp]|h with either 1 or 10|[thinsp]|nM TNF-|[alpha]| plus CHX. M, molecular marker; C, untreated cells. (c) Cytofluorimetric analysis. The cells were treated with 10|[thinsp]|nM TNF-|[alpha]| plus CHX for 5|[thinsp]|h and analyzed for AnnexinV-FITC positivity: square 2, propidium iodide-positive cells; square 3, nonapoptotic cells; square 4, apoptotic cells. (d, e) Cytofluorometer analysis of time- and dose-dependence. Open bars, white adipocytes; closed bars, brown adipocytes. The bars represent the mean values|[plusmn]|S.E.M. of three separate experiments. |[ast]| P<0.01: difference from untreated cells (C) at time 0
