Project description:Individualized analysis through expression profiling of 20,000 probes in 28 tissue samples evaluated in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue obtained during surgical intervention in non-obese and obese patients. Patients consisted of men and women of varying body size (lean to severely obese). Samples were collected at the time of operation in the fasting state. Samples consisted of subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue as well as a blood sample from lean and obese men and women removed in the fasting state at the time of surgery.
Project description:To provide a comprehensive understanding of how GC affect adipose tissue and adipocyte function, we analyzed patterns of gene expression after culture of abdominal subcutaneous (sc) and omental (Om)) Adipose tissue of severely obese subjects (3F, 1M) in the presence of insulin or insulin (7 nM) plus dexamethasone (dex, 25 nM) for 7d.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE29409: Subcutaneous and omental white adipose tissue biopsies analysed from five obese patients GSE29410: Subcutaneous and omental white adipose tissue biopsies analysed from three obese patients Refer to individual Series
Project description:We used microarrays to identify transcripts regulated by dexamethasone in omental (Om) and abdominal subcutaneous (Abdsc) adipose tissues of severely obese females obtained during elective surgeries. Minced tissue was treated with Dexamethasone in organ culture for 7 days as previously described (Lee et al, Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2011 Mar;300(3):E571-80).
Project description:The association between central obesity and insulin resistance reflects the properties of visceral adipose tissue. Our aim was to gain further insight into this association by analysing the lipid composition of subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue in obese women with and without insulin resistance. Subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue and serum were obtained from 29 obese nondiabetic women, 13 of whom were hyperinsulinemic. Histology, and lipid and gene profiling were performed. In omental adipose tissue of obese, insulin-resistant women, adipocyte hypertrophy and macrophage infiltration were accompanied by an increase in GM3 ganglioside and its synthesis enzyme ST3GAL5; in addition, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) lipids were increased and their degradation enzyme, PEMT, decreased. ST3GAL5 was expressed predominantly in adipose stromovascular cells and PEMT in adipocytes. Insulin resistance was also associated with an increase in PE lipids in serum. Total RNA was isolated and up to 400 ng of total RNA per sample was labelled and hybridized to Illumina HumanHT-12_V4 expression BeadChip platform. Paired subcutaneous and omental samples from 6 women were analysed.
Project description:In addition to total body fat, the regional distribution and inflammatory status of enlarged adipose tissue are strongly linked to metabolic and cardiovascular complications of obesity. We recently showed that the severity of liver non-alcoholic histopathology in obese subjects increased with the amounts of macrophages in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), while no relation was found with the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). In the abdominal region, SAT is anatomically divided into superficial (sSAT) and deep (dSAT) layers. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that these distinct compartments differentially contribute to hepatic alteration in obesity. Total RNA was isolated from two different strata of human adipose tissue of 8 subjects.
