Project description:We used an unbiased systems biology approach to study the regulation of gene expression in human adipose tissue focusing on inflammation. We show that microRNAs play a major role as regulators of CCL2 production in obesity.

Project description:We used an unbiased systems biology approach to study the regulation of gene expression in human adipose tissue focusing on inflammation. We show that microRNAs play a major role as regulators of CCL2 production in obesity. Subcutaneous adipose tissue was obtained from healthy subjects undergoing cosmetic liposuction (n=12). There was no selection for age, sex or BMI. From the tissue, we isolated preadipocytes and in vitro differentiated them to adipocytes. The cells were lysed at day 4/5 (early), 8 (middle) and 12 (late) of differentiation. From the samples, we prepared and hybridised biotinylated complementary RNA to GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA). Pre-processing was performed using the Affymetrix Expression Console version 1.1 and the following settings: Summarization: PLIER; Background Correction: PM-GCBG; Normalization: Global Median.
Project description:We used an unbiased systems biology approach to study the regulation of gene expression in human adipose tissue focusing on inflammation. We show that microRNAs play a major role as regulators of CCL2 production in obesity. Abdominal subcutaneous adipose needle biopsies were obtained from women (n=56) with a wide variation in BMI. From the biopsies we prepared and hybridised biotinylated complementary RNA to GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA), labelled RNA to Affymetrix miRNA arrays, and bisulphite converted DNA to Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 beadchips using standardised protocols (Affymetrix Inc., Illumina Inc.) . Subsequent analyses of gene expression was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software version 1.4. To allow comparisons of transcript levels between samples, all samples were subjected to an all-probeset scaling-to-target signal of 100.

We show that microRNAs play a major role as regulators of CCL2 production in obesity. Abdominal subcutaneous adipose needle biopsies were obtained from women (n=56) with a wide variation in BMI. From the biopsies, total RNA was isolated and labelled using the FlashTag biotin HSR labeling kit (Genisphere Inc., Hatfield, PA) according to the supplier's protocol. The labelled samples were placed in a hybridization cocktail mix containing 4% formamide and hybridised overnight to Affymetrix miRNA Arrays (Affymetrix Inc.) following the indicated Genisphere protocol. The arrays were washed, stained and scanned in an Affymetrix GCS 3000 scanner. Signal intensities and present calls were generated by using the microRNA QC tool by Affymetrix.
