    Abstract: Disclosed are two methods of treating or preventing a proliferative disease as characterized and/or diagnosed by at least one selected from an accumulation of branched-chain amino acid(s) (BCAA), suppression of activity or transcripts level of BCAA catabolic enzyme(s) and a decrease in acylcarnitine level (C5:1), one comprising the administration of a BCAA catabolism enhancer and/or branched chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDC) kinase inhibitor and the other comprising administration of a meal replacement with low BCAA levels. In three separate embodiments, methods of diagnosis or prognosis are disclosed, each comprising the measurement of the levels of a different marker, i.e. BCAA, BCAA catabolic enzymes or acylcarnitine (C5:1). In preferred embodiments, the proliferative disease is cancer. Also disclosed is a kit or microarray chip useful for methods thereof.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes to a method of treating a metabolic disease in a subject, wherein the method comprises administration of dermatopontin to a subject, wherein the dermatopontin is recombinant dermatopontin and the metabolic disease is selected from a group consisting of weight gain, diet-induced weight gain, obesity, morbid obesity, metabolic syndrome, glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, type I diabetes, type if diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Disclosed herein is also a method of determining or making a prognosis of a subject's susceptibility to metabolic diseases and obesity, the method comprising measuring the level of circulating dermatopontin in a sample obtained from a subject; and comparing the level of circulating dermatopontin obtained with the level of dermatopontin previously determined in a control; and determining the susceptibility of the subject to metabolic disease and obesity based on the difference between the level of circulating dermatopontin and the level of dermatopontin in the control.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of identifying the origin of adipose-derived stem cells, comprising detecting at least one cell-surface marker selected from a group consisting of CD 10, CD141, CD 142 and CD200. Also disclosed are methods of determining adipogenic capability of a cell capable of adipogenesis by determining the presence of CD 10 or CD200.
