Метаболический синдром и ожирение неразрывно связаны друг с другом. В свою очередь, дисфункция ЖТ, связанная с ожирением, сопровождается изменениями в ее клеточном составе. Развитие методов транскриптомного анализа на уровне одиночных клеток в последние годы, особенно snRNA-seq, и их популяризация дали особенно мощный инструмент для изучения гетрогенности клеточного состава ЖТ. Животные модели, такие как мыши, активно используются для изучения различных аспектов биологии ЖТ; однако трансляция таких результатов на человека может быть осложнена межвидовыми отличиями в анатомии и клеточном составе ткани. В статье обобщены некоторые важнейшие результаты изучения гетерогенности ЖТ у человека и мыши такими методами. На сегодняшний день известно о ряде функциональных субпопопуляций как зрелых адипоцитов, так и клеток стромально-васкулярной фракции, участвующих в их обновлении. В литературе есть ограниченные данные по подтипам адипоцитов и клеток стромально-васкулярной фракции, характеризующихся определенной сопоставимостью между человеком и мышью по экспрессии маркеров и изменениям в ответ на ожирение. Тем не менее, малое количество опубликованных на сегодняшний день данных по гетерогенности ЖТ не дает возможности в полной мере судить о межвидовой сопоставимости субпопуляционного состава клеток ЖТ. Это подчеркивает важность более подробного изучения разных аспектов гетерогенности клеточного состава ЖТ.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In this opinion article we discuss the functional heterogeneity of cells composing adipose tissue (AT), as well as opportunities for the cross-species comparability of murine animal models with respect to single cell transcriptomic studies. Metabolic syndrome and obesity are closely interconnected, and obesity-related AT dysfunction results in changes in the cellular composition of AT. Animal models, particularly rodents, have been commonly used as a model organism to study various aspects of AT biology; however, results of such studies are often poorly translatable in humans due to cross-species differences in AT anatomy and cell composition. Rapid development and spread of single cell transcriptomic approaches in the recent years, particularly snR-NA-seq, provided a powerful instrument to interrogate the cellular heterogeneity of AT. Herein, some of the most notable results from the AT heterogeneity studies, based on these methods, are summarized. To date, several functional subtypes of adipocytes have been described, as well as the stromal-vascular fraction cells involved in adipocyte turnover. Limited literature data suggests a potential cross-species comparability between adipocytes and the stromal-vascular cells in marker genes expression patterns and obesity-induced changes. However, it is currently difficult to draw any definitive conclusions on the cross-species comparability of cells composing AT due to insufficient body of evidence in relation to the AT heterogeneity at large. This highlights the importance of continuous efforts to decipher functional heterogeneity of AT.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>жировая ткань</kwd><kwd>стромально-васкулярная фракция</kwd><kwd>животные модели</kwd><kwd>ожирение</kwd><kwd>метаболический синдром</kwd><kwd>транскриптомика одиночных клеток</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>adipose tissue</kwd><kwd>stromal-vascular fraction</kwd><kwd>animal models</kwd><kwd>obesity</kwd><kwd>metabolic syndrome</kwd><kwd>single-cell transcriptomics</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа проведена при поддержке Российского научного фонда, проект № 25-75-30005 «Регуляция процессов обновления клеток в организме, фундаментальной основы длительного сохранения функциональной активности органов и тканей, здоровья и активного долголетия человека» (https://rscf.ru/project/25-75-30005/)</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The research was supported by Russian Science Foundation, project number 25-75-30005 (https://rscf.ru/project/25-75-30005/).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Saklayen M.G.
