Expression profiling of human adipose tissue in obese subjects

ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms by which obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify candidate biomarkers overexpressed in adipose tissue of obese subjects that could link expanded fat mass to atherosclerosis. We compared gene expression profile in subcutaneous adipose tissue (scWAT) of 28 obese and 11 lean subjects using microarray technology. This analysis identified 240 genes significantly overexpressed in scWAT of obese subjects. The genes were then ranked according to the correlation between gene expression and body mass index (BMI). In this list, the elastolytic cysteine protease cathepsin S was among the highly correlated genes. RT-PCR and Western blotting confirmed the increase in cathepsin S mRNA (P=0.006) and protein (P<0.05) in obese scWAT. The circulating concentrations of cathepsin S were also significantly higher in obese than in nonobese subjects (P<0.0001). Both cathepsin S mRNA in scWAT and circulating levels were positively correlated with BMI, body fat, and plasma triglyceride levels. In addition, we show that the proinflammatory factors, lipopolysaccharide, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α increase cathepsin S secretion in human scWAT explants. This study identifies cathepsin S as a novel marker of adiposity. Since this enzyme has been implicated in the development of atherosclerotic lesions, we propose that cathepsin S represents a molecular link between obesity and atherosclerosis.

Transcriptome analysis of circulating monocytes in obese patients before and three months after bariatric surgery

Project description:Low-grade chronic inflammation plays an important role in the development of obesity and obesity-associated disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. One possible link between obesity and inflammation is the enhanced activation of circulating monocytes making them more prone to infiltration into the adipose and vascular tissues of obese persons. Furthermore, weight loss after bariatric surgery is associated with less inflammation. Transcriptome analysis of circulating monocytes from control and obese patients before and after bariatric surgery will potentially provide insights into the pathophysiology of obesity and associated disorders and supply biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. The cohort comprised 6 lean age-matched controls (BMI: 20.3±0.5 kg/m2, mean±SEM) and 18 obese individuals without clinical symptoms of cardiovascular disease (BMI: 45.1±1.4 kg/m2, P<0.001 compared with lean controls). These 18 morbidly obese subjects were referred to our hospital for bariatric surgery. Before they were included, individuals were evaluated by an endocrinologist, an abdominal surgeon, a psychologist and a dietician. Only after multidisciplinary deliberation, the selected patients received a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. CD14+ monocytes were collected before and three months after bariatric surgery (BMI: 37.5±1.3 kg/m2, P<0.001 compared with before weight loss), total RNA was extracted and subjected to genome-wide expression analysis. Samples consisted of CD14+ monocytes from 6 lean controls and 18 morbidly obese patients before and three months after bariatric surgery. The 6 lean controls were also used to make 6 control pools.

Differences in metabolic biomarkers in the blood and gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells among normal weight, mildly obese, and moderately obese subjects

Project description:Objectives: We compared metabolic biomarkers in the blood and PBMC gene expression profiles among normal weight, mildly obese, and moderately obese Korean adult men. Design: Subjects were classified as normal weight (BMI, 18.5~23 kg/m2), mildly obese (BMI, 25~27.5 kg/m2), and moderately obese (BMI, 27.5~30 kg/m2). Results: High leptin, lipids (except LDL- and HDL-cholesterol), and apolipoprotein B levels and low adiponectin and HDL-cholesterol levels were present in the plasma of both mildly and moderately obese subjects. Circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) and markers of insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and liver damage were altered in moderately obese subjects but not mildly obese subjects. PBMC transcriptome data showed enrichment of pathways involved in energy metabolism, insulin resistance, bone metabolism, cancer, inflammation, and fibrosis in both mildly and moderately obese subjects. Signaling pathways involved in oxidative phosphorylation; triglyceride synthesis; carbohydrate metabolism; insulin, mTOR, FOXO, RAP1, RAS, and TGF-β signaling; and ECM–receptor interaction were enriched only in moderately obese subjects, indicating that changes in PBMC gene expression profiles according to metabolic disturbances were associated with the development and/or aggravation of obesity. In particular, upregulation of 8 genes (FLT3LG, LTB, IL23A, CD19, CPT1B, AXIN2, CACNA1L, RPRM) and downregulation of 2 genes (CCL4L1, LPAR5) were observed only in mildly obese subjects. Six genes (CXCR5, NFKBIA, BIRC3, TNFAIP3, DDIT3, PDE4B) and 4 genes (CX3CR1, HSPA1A, CACNA2D3, APAF1) were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in both mildly and moderately obese subjects. These results suggested that these genes could be used as early or stable biomarkers for diagnosing and treating obesity-associated metabolic disturbance.

Gene expression profiling of human adipose tissue of obese subjects in relation to bariatric surgery

Project description:In human obesity, the stroma vascular fraction (SVF) of white adipose tissue (WAT) is enriched in macrophages. These cells may contribute to low-grade inflammation and to its metabolic complications. Little is known about the effect of weight loss on macrophages and genes involved in macrophage attraction. We examined subcutaneous WAT (scWAT) of 7 lean and 17 morbidly obese subjects before and 3 months after bypass surgery. Immunomorphological changes of the number of scWAT-infiltrating macrophages were evaluated, along with concomitant changes in expression of SVF-overexpressed genes. The number of scWAT-infiltrating macrophages before surgery was higher in obese than in lean subjects (HAM56+/CD68+; 22.6 +/- 4.3 vs. 1.4 +/- 0.6%, P < 0.001). Typical "crowns" of macrophages were observed around adipocytes. Drastic weight loss resulted in a significant decrease in macrophage number (-11.63 +/- 2.3%, P < 0.001), and remaining macrophages stained positive for the anti-inflammatory protein interleukin 10. Genes involved in macrophage attraction (monocyte chemotactic protein [MCP]-1, plasminogen activator urokinase receptor [PLAUR], and colony-stimulating factor [CSF]-3) and hypoxia (hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha [HIF-1alpha]), expression of which increases in obesity and decreases after surgery, were predominantly expressed in the SVF. We show that improvement of the inflammatory profile after weight loss is related to a reduced number of macrophages in scWAT. MCP-1, PLAUR, CSF-3, and HIF-1alpha may play roles in the attraction of macrophages in scWAT. Keywords: disease state analysis

Genes involved in macrophage attraction (monocyte chemotactic protein [MCP]-1, plasminogen activator urokinase receptor [PLAUR], and colony-stimulating factor [CSF]-3) and hypoxia (hypoxia-inducible factor-1{alpha} [HIF-1{alpha}]), expression of which increases in obesity and decreases after surgery, were predominantly expressed in the SVF. We show that improvement of the inflammatory profile after weight loss is related to a reduced number of macrophages in scWAT. MCP-1, PLAUR, CSF-3, and HIF-1{alpha} may play roles in the attraction of macrophages in scWAT. Keywords: cell type comparison

Expression data from Adipose Stem Cells (ASC) from morbidly obese and non-obese individuals

Project description:The adipose tissue is an endocrine regulator and a risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease when by excessive accumulation induces obesity. Although the adipose tissue is also a reservoir for stem cells (ASC) their function and “stemcellness” has been questioned. Our aim was to investigate the mechanisms by which obesity affects subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) stem cells. We used microarrays to analyze differences in transcriptomic profiles between the adipose stem cells from morbidly obese and non-obese individuals. Subcutaneous white adipose tissues that were obtained during bariatric surgery (Obese) or liposuction (Lean) were donated by patients after obtaining informed consent. Three cases with BMI>40 kg/m2 (ASCmo) and three controls with BMI<25 kg/m2 (ASCn) were selected and processed extracting total RNA, processing and hybridizating on microarrays.

Human subcutaneous adipose tissue gene expression (SOS Sib-pair study, offspring cohort)

Project description:Obesity has considerable effects on morbidity and mortality, and the prevalence of obesity has been increasing rapidly worldwide during the past two decades. Even if obesity affects the entire individual, adipose tissue plays a central role in the development of obesity. Expression profiling of adipose tissue may give insights into the mechanisms contributing to obesity and obesity-related disorders. The Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) Sib-Pair Study consists of 154 nuclear families with BMI-discordant sib pairs (BMI difference more than 10 kg/m2) resulting in a study population consisting of 732 subjects. The full SOS Sib-Pair study offspring cohort consists of 425 subjects. Microarray expression analysis in subcutaneous adipose tissue was performed in 375 subjects (262 women and 113 men) of the SOS Sib-Pair offspring cohort.
