In the present study we have evaluated whether (i) 5-azacytidine (AZA), a well-known demethylating agent, could be able to modify the phenotype of human preadipocytes and (ii) the modified cells could possess multilineage differentiation potential. Human preadipocytes at the 3rd passage were treated for 48 or 96 h with 10 μM AZA and then expanded up to passage 5. Stem cell markers, such as OCT-4, Nanog, and Sox2,...
