The increased incidence of obesity and metabolic disease underscores the importance of elucidating the biology of adipose tissue development. The recent discovery of cell surface markers for prospective identification of adipose precursor cells (APCs) in vivo will greatly facilitate these studies, yet tools for specifically targeting these cells in vivo have not been identified. Here, we survey three transgenic mouse lines, Fabp4-Cre, PdgfRα-Cre, and Prx1-Cre, precisely assessing Cre-mediated recombination in adipose stromal populations and mature tissues. Our data provide key insights into the utility of these tools to modulate gene expression in adipose tissues. In particular, Fabp4-Cre is not effective to target APCs, nor is its activity restricted to these cells. PdgfRα-Cre directs recombination in the vast majority of APCs, but also targets other populations. In contrast, adipose expression of Prx1-Cre is chiefly limited to subcutaneous inguinal APCs, which will be valuable for dissection of APC functions among adipose depots. Genetic tools to target adipose precursors in vivo assessed by flow cytometry Fabp4-Cre is active only in a small subset of white adipose precursors PdgfRα-Cre is active in nearly all white and brown adipose precursors In adipose tissue, Prx1-Cre activity is limited to subcutaneous inguinal precursors The discovery of cell surface markers that label adipose progenitors identifies new avenues of stem cell and metabolic research. Here, Krueger et al. use these markers to survey Cre-mediated recombination in the adipose depots of several transgenic mouse lines. These data provide key insights into the suitability of these tools to modulate gene expression in adipose tissues.
