ABSTRACT: Adipose tissue before and after bariatric surgery (BPD/DS)-Pilot study using AB1700 microarrays. Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue pre and post bariatric surgery (BPD/DS).
Project description:Comparison of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue before and after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), and versus subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue from lean, healthy subjects undergoing hernia repair surgery
Project description:The aim of the project was to compare global gene expression in adipocytes from obese patients and lean controls. Subcutaneous adipose tissue was collected from severely obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery (average body-mass index (BMI) of 45.5 kg/m2 (n = 12, thereof 4 men) and healthy lean patients undergoing hernia repairs (average BMI of 24.2 kg/m2 (n = 12, thereof 7 men), between 27 and 56 years of age. Adipocytes were isolated by collagenase treatment of adipose tissue, followed by filtering and centrifugation. Floating adipocytes were lysed in Qiazol before RNA purification and microarray analysis.
Project description:Evaluate differences in gene expression levels between offspring born after maternal bariatric surgery and their siblings born before surgery Offspring born after maternal bariatric surgery (AMS, N=23) vs. offspring born before maternal surgery (BMS, N=23)
Project description:Evaluate differences in gene methylation levels between offspring born after maternal bariatric surgery and their siblings born before surgery Offspring born after maternal bariatric surgery (AMS, N=25) vs. offspring born before maternal surgery (BMS, N=25)
Project description:Patients had low calorie diet weight reduction run in prior to the day of surgery. The human liver and subcutaneous fat tissue samples were obtained from 12 obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery and then used for the mRNA expression analyses. mRNA profiles of human liver and subcutaneous fat tissue samples were generated by RNA sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common cause of liver disease affecting 20-30% of the population in developed countries. NAFLD is strongly associated with abdominal obesity and is recognized as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. In a subgroup of patients with NAFLD inflammation and fibrosis develops, this so-called Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. A multi-hit hypothesis has been proposed in which during the first “hit” fat accumulation occurs in hepatocytes from excessive delivery of fatty acids from adipose tissue, in addition there is an imbalance in lipid synthesis and export. However, the reason why fat accumulation is subsequently followed by inflammation and fibrosis in some patients is poorly understood. We studied the role of gene expression at the transcriptional level using microarray in bariatric patients from whom the liver histology was available. Patients scheduled for bariatric surgery were recruited in Pretoria/South-Africa. At the time of the procedure, tissue samples of the visceral and subcutaneous fat were taken for molecular analysis as well as liver tissue for histology, also full biochemical data was collected. Patients were grouped according histology: group I (<5% steatosis), group II (NAFLD, 30-50% steatosis) and group III (NASH). The 15 samples were used for microarray (nr patients respectively for stages I-II-III: 6-4-5).This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Project description:To investigate the effects of bariatric surgery on gene expression profile changes in whole blood in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes in a pilot study setting. Whole blood from eleven obese subjects with type 2 diabetes was collected in PAXgene tubes prior to and 6-12 months after bariatric surgery. Total RNA was isolated, amplified, labeled and hybridized to Illumina gene expression microarrays. Clinical and expression data were analyzed using a paired t-test, and correlations between changes in clinical trait and transcript levels were calculated. Pathways were identified using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and DAVID gene ontology software. Bariatric surgery resulted in significant reduction of BMI, fasting plasma glucose and normalization of HbA1c levels. The expression levels of 204 transcripts, representing 200 unique genes, were significantly altered after bariatric surgery. Among the significantly regulated genes were GGT1, CAMP, DEFA1, LCN2, TP53, ZNF684, GPR50, PDSS1, OLR1, CNTNAP5, DHCR24, HHAT and SARDH, which have been previously implicated in lipid metabolism, obesity and/or type 2 diabetes. The changes in expression of seven transcripts, WDR35, FLF45244, DHCR24, TIGD7, TOPBP1, TSHZ1, and FAM8A1 were strongly correlated with the changes in body weight, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c content. These preliminary data suggest that whole blood expression levels of specific transcripts may identify biomarkers associated with susceptibility for type 2 diabetes and/or therapeutic response. Trasncriptome profiling was performed on eleven obese subjects with type 2 diabetes, (5 females and 6 males) to compare expression changes before and 6 to 12 months after the subjects underwent bariatric surgery.
Project description:This experiment captures the DNA methylation in obese patients with type 2 diabetes in relevant tissues from the disease: liver, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues, and whole blood. Samples were obtained during bariatric surgery and preserved in RNAlater at -70 C in RNAlater, until the nucleic acid extraction.

However, the reason why fat accumulation is subsequently followed by inflammation and fibrosis in some patients is poorly understood. We studied the role of inflammatory processes in visceral and subcutaneous fat at the transcriptional level using microarray in bariatric patients from whom the liver histology was available. Patients scheduled for bariatric surgery were recruited in two centers (Pretoria/South-Africa and Antwerpen/Belgium). At the time of the procedure, tissue samples of the visceral and subcutaneous fat were taken for molecular analysis as well as liver tissue for histology, also full biochemical data was collected. Patients were grouped according histology: group I (<5% steatosis), group II (NAFLD, 30-50% steatosis), group III (NASH) and group IV (NASH + fibrosis F2-F3). The following samples were used for microarray (number of 'patients' respectively for stages I-II-III-IV): visceral fat (9-7-7-5), subcutaneous fat (6-6-6-5). Microarrays were run in two batches (15xxx versus 17xxx CEL file samples; indicated in the description field). Samples from two patients (FN61; FN76) were put twice on array (15078+17881; 15064+17877) to verify and exclude batch effects. Please note that, due to technical repeats with two patient samples, the number of 'visceral fat samples' for stages I-II-III-IV is 10-7-8-5.
Project description:This experiment captures the expression profiling in obese with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic patients, in relevant tissues from the disease: liver, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues, and whole blood. Samples were obtained during bariatric surgery and preserved in RNA later at -70 C until the nucleic acid extraction.
