Abstrakt: Worldwide obesity, defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may result in different comorbidities, is considered a pandemic condition that has nearly tripled in the last 45 years. Most studies on obesity use animal models or adipocyte monolayer cell culture to investigate adipose tissue. However, besides monolayer cell culture approaches do not fully recapitulate the physiology of living organisms, there is a growing need to reduce or replace animals in research. In this context, the development of 3D self-organized structures has provided models that better reproduce the in vitro aspects of the in vivo physiology in comparison to traditional monolayer cell culture. Besides, recent advances in omics technologies have allowed us to characterize these cultures at the proteome, metabolome, transcription factor, DNA-binding and transcriptomic levels. These two combined approaches, 3D culture and omics, have provided more realistic data about determined conditions. Thereby, here we focused on the development of an obesity study pipeline including proteomic analysis to validate adipocyte-derived spheroids. Through the combination of collected mass spectrometry data from differentiated 3T3-L1 spheroids and from murine white adipose tissue (WAT), we identified 1732 proteins in both samples. By using a comprehensive proteomic analysis, we observed that the in vitro 3D culture of differentiated adipocytes shares important molecular pathways with the WAT, including expression of proteins involved in central metabolic process of the adipose tissue. Together, our results show a combination of an orthogonal method and an image-based analysis that constitutes a useful pipeline to be applied in 3D adipocyte culture.
