The origins of individual fat depots are not well understood, and thus, the availability of tools useful for studying depot-specific adipose tissue development and function is limited. Cre drivers that selectively target only brown adipocyte, subcutaneous white adipocyte, or visceral white adipocyte precursors would have significant value because they could be used to selectively study individual depots without impacting the adipocyte precursors or intrinsic metabolic properties of the other depots. Here, we show that the majority of the precursor and mature subcutaneous white adipocytes in adult C57Bl/6 mice are labeled by Prx1-Cre. In sharp contrast, few to no brown adipocytes or visceral white adipocytes are marked by Prx1-Cre. This suggests that Prx1-Cre-mediated recombination may be useful for making depot-restricted genetic manipulations in subcutaneous white adipocyte precursor cells, particularly when targeting genes with fat-specific functions. Prx1-Cre targets subcutaneous white adipocyte precursor cells Prx1-Cre labels subcutaneous white adipocytes Prx1-Cre may be useful to manipulate gene expression in subcutaneous WAT The ability to direct Cre recombinase activity to specific fat depots, such as to the subcutaneous or visceral adipocytes, could be useful in determining depot-specific roles in metabolism and the mechanisms of body fat distribution. In this issue, Guertin and colleagues show that most subcutaneous white adipocyte precursors and mature adipocytes, but few brown or visceral white adipocytes, are targeted by Prx1-Cre.
