Project description:To identify genes differentially expressed in abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue, we determined the mRNA transcription profile of 10 abdominal and 10 gluteal female adipose tissue sections using Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays. RNA of 10 subcutaneous abdominal and 10 subcutaneous gluteal fat depot samples was processed by Miltenyi Biotech GmbH (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and loaded on single-color Whole Human Genome 4x44K microarrays (G4112F) from Agilent Technologies.

Project description:In humans, adipose tissue is distributed in subcutaneous abdominal and subcutaneous gluteal depots that comprise a variety of functional differences. Whereas energy storage in gluteal adipose tissue has been shown to mediate a protective effect, an increase of abdominal adipose tissue is associated with metabolic disorders. However, the molecular basis of depot-specific characteristics is not completely understood yet. Using array-based analyses of transcription profiles, we identified a specific set of genes that was differentially expressed between subcutaneous abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue. To investigate the role of epigenetic regulation in depot-specific gene expression, we additionally analyzed genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in abdominal and gluteal depots. By combining both data sets, we identified a highly significant set of depot-specifically expressed genes that appear to be epigenetically regulated. Interestingly, the majority of these genes form part of the homeobox gene family. Moreover, genes involved in fatty acid metabolism were also differentially expressed. Therefore we suppose that changes in gene expression profiles might account for depot-specific differences in lipid composition. Indeed, triglycerides and fatty acids of abdominal adipose tissue were more saturated compared to triglycerides and fatty acids in gluteal adipose tissue. Taken together, our results uncover clear differences between abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue on the gene expression and DNA methylation level as well as in fatty acid composition. Therefore, a detailed molecular characterization of adipose tissue depots will be essential to develop new treatment strategies for metabolic syndrome associated complications. DNA methylation profiles of abdominal adipose tissue (6 samples) and gluteal adipose tissue (6 samples) were generated using Infinium methylation 450K BeadChips from Illumina (Illumina, San Diego, USA).

Project description:With gene expression profiling it was aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes associated with the regulation of the cytoskeleton to investigate the stretch-induced cell alignment mechanism. A whole genome microarray based analysis of the stretch-induced gene expression changes was done. Gene expression was measured at the beginning of the alignment process showing first reoriented cells after 5 h stretching and at the end after 24 h, where nearly all cells are aligned. Cyclic mechanical stretching of cells results in cellular alignment perpendicular to the stretch direction regulating cellular response. This stress response is assumed to be an adaptation mechanism to reduce extensive stretching but also acts as architectural restructuring changing performance and biomechanics of the tissue. Gene expression profiling of control vs. stretched primary human dermal fibroblasts after 5 h and 24 h demonstrated the regulation of differentially expressed genes associated with metabolism, differentiation and morphology. Primary human dermal fibroblasts from ten donors were cultured on Bioflex culture plates and stretched for 5h and 24 h or left untreated to avoid changes according to cell culturing. Each of the subject provided 4 samples (control/treated and 5hrs/24hrs) resulting in 40 samples total.

Project description:Obesity and associated metabolic outcomes define the metabolic syndrome. Interestingly, an under-appreciated fact is that body fat distribution, rather than total body fat amount, is a key determinant of metabolic disease. Indeed, in contrast to upper-body obesity, lower-body fat accumulation inversely correlates with metabolic risks. Understanding processes regulating upper- vs. lower-body fat expansion is paramount to predict (and prevent) these risks. We combine functional, proteomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics analyses to identify chromatin-associated mechanisms of adipose depot-specific fat expansion. Here, we analyze by RNA-seq the transcriptome of adipose stem cells (ASCs) from gluteal (lower-body) and abdominal subcutaneous (upper-body) depots induced to differentiate in vitro towards the adipogenic lineage. We aim to identify adipose depot-specific and temporal differences in the up- or down-regulation of gene expression, and a later stage relate these differences to changes in chromatin states.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of HepG2 cells treated with UVC (254 nm) for 30 seconds and transduced with Adenoviral vector carrying the Hepatitis B Virus HBx gene vs Adenoviral vector control under UV treatment Experiment Overall Design: One-condition experiment, AdHBx (experimental) UV vs AdEasy (vector control) UV. HepG2 cells were infected with either recombinant HBx adenoviruses (AdHBx) or control adenoviruses (AdEasy). Seventy-two hours later, infected cells were exposed for 30 seconds to UVC (254 nm) irradiation with a germicidal lamp calibrated to deliver 8 or 16 J/m2. Cells were then harvested for either ChIP-chip profiling or expression microarray profiling

Project description:Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is driven by leukemic stem cells (LSC) generated by mutations that confer (or maintain) self-renewal potential coupled to an aberrant differentiation program. Using retroviral mutagenesis, we identified genes that generate LSC in collaboration with genetic disruption of the gene encoding interferon response factor 8 (Irf8), which induces a myeloproliferation in vivo. Amongst the targeted genes, we identified Mef2c, encoding a MADS transcription factor, and confirmed that over-expression induced a myelomonocytic leukemia in cooperation with Irf8 deficiency. Strikingly, several of the genes identified in our screen have been reported to be upregulated in the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) subtype. High MEF2C expression levels were confirmed in AML patient samples with MLL gene disruptions, prompting an investigation of the causal interplay. Using a conditional mouse strain, we demonstrated that Mef2c deficiency does not impair the establishment nor maintenance of LSC generated in vitro by MLL/ENL fusion proteins â?? however, its loss led to compromised homing and invasiveness of the tumor cells. Mef2c-dependent targets included several genes encoding matrix metalloproteinases and chemokine ligands and receptors, providing a mechanistic link to increased homing and motility. Thus an early event in LSC generation may be responsible for the aggressive nature of this leukemia subtype. Experiment Overall Design: For gene expression profiling of M/E cells, RNA was isolated from M/E-Mef2c del/- cells infected with MYs-iPAC (empty vector) or MYs-pMef2cASR after puromycin selection at three different time points, pooled, and hybridized against the Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Microarray 4x44K using the one-color service of Miltenyi. Transcript levels were verified by real-time RT-PCR using the SYBRGreen Reaction Mix (Roche Mannheim) in a Roche Light-Cycler. cDNA levels were normalized against Hprt transcript levels. Primers and amplification conditions are available upon request.
