There is a critical need for monitoring physiologically relevant, sustainable, human adipose tissues in vitro to gain new insights into metabolic diseases. To support long term culture, a 3D silk scaffold assisted culture system was developed that maintained mature unilocular adipocytes ex vivo in co-culture with pre-adipocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells obtained from small volumes of liquefied adipose samples. Without the silk scaffold, adipose tissue explants could not be sustained in long term culture (3 months) due to their fragility. Adjustments to media components were used to tune lipid metabolism and proliferation, in addition to responsiveness to an inflammatory stimulus. Interestingly, patient specific responses to TNFα stimulation were observed, providing a proof of concept translational technique for patient specific disease modeling in the future. In summary, our novel 3D scaffold assisted approach is required for establishing physiologically relevant, sustainable, human adipose tissue systems from small volumes of lipoaspirate, making this methodology of great value to studies of metabolism, adipokine-driven diseases, and other diseases where the roles of adipocytes are only now becoming uncovered.
