Project description:Adult mouse were kept at room temperature, RNAseq was performed for interscapular brown, subscapular white and inguinal white adipose tissue
Project description:Mice were kept at RT, thermoneutrality (humanized condition) and thermoneutrality plus high fat diet. Inter scapular brown adipose tissue and inguinal white adipose tissue were used for RNA seq. Illumina Truseq ribosomal RNA depletion protocol was used.
Project description:We asked if miRNAs are involved in PRDM16 protein expression. Thus microarray was employed with inguinal adipose tissues from contol, fasted and cold exposure C57BL/6J male mice In this dataset, we include all the miRNA expression data obtained from dissected mouse inguinal adipose tissues from control, fasted and cold exposure mice. Generally, microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Based on previous results, we asked whether miRNAs are involved in the regulation of PRDM16 in ingWAT in response to different physiological stimuli. We therefore performed miRNA microarray analysis using ingWAT from the cold-exposed mice, the fasted mice and the control mice. Given that cold exposure increased the level of PRDM16 protein whereas fasting decreased its expression, miRNAs that have expression patterns opposite to that of PRDM16 were selectedã??
Project description:We applied a deep-sequencing based method – digital gene expression profiling (DGEP), to investigate gene expression in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT), inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) in acute cold exposure Examination of gene expression level in 3 different adipose tissues in 3 time points, day0, day2 and day4 in cold exposure.
Project description:Ambient temperature affects energy intake and expenditure to maintain homeostasis in a continuously fluctuating environment. Here, mice with an adipose-specific defect in fatty acid oxidation (Cpt2A-/-) were subjected to varying temperature to determine the role of adipose bioenergetics to environmental adaptation. Cpt2A-/- brown adipose tissue (BAT) failed to induce thermogenic genes such as Ucp1 and Pgc1α in response to adrenergic stimulation, which is exacerbated by increasing temperature. Thermoneutrality induced a mitochondrial DNA stress in Cpt2A-/- BAT that resulted in a loss of classical interscapular BAT, but did not affect body weight gain or glucose tolerance in response to a high-fat diet. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse interscapular brown adipose tissue from mice acclimatized to thermoneutrality (30C) with and without beta3adrenergic stimulation with and without the deletion of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (i.e., adipose unable to beta-oxidize long chain fatty acids in mitochondria). WildType and Cpt2A KnockOut mice were treated either with or without beta3adrenergic stimulation, thus four classes. Three biologic replicates were compared per class, thus twelve mice.
