Project description:Mice overexpressing a kinase dead AMPKa2 subunit or control were exercised 6.5 weeks and sacrifised 24 hours after last exercise bout. Total RNA from subcutaneous adipose tissue were isolated and small RNAs were purifed from this.
Project description:Two types of adipose tissues, white and brown, are found in mammals. Increasingly novel strategies are being proposed for the treatment of obesity and its associated complications by altering amount and/or activity of BAT using mouse models. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in subcutaneous white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. White adipose tissue (Subcutaneous region) and brown adipose tissue (intrascapular) were isolated from LACA mice (male, 25 ± 3g ) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:To investigate the proteomic profiles of paired subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) samples, as well as their correlations with clinical traits in severely obese patients, and to identify potential serum protein markers associated with tissue expression or metabolic states.
Project description:Objective: Potential regulators of adipogenesis include microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs that have been recently shown related to adiposity and differentially expressed in fat depots. However, to date no study is available regarding the relationship of miRNAs expression profile, biological pathway and cellular phenotype during human adipogenesis. Thereby, the aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNA expression profile in human adipocytes is related to adipogenesis and to test whether miRNA profile in human subcutaneous adipose tissue is associated to human obesity and co-morbidities. Keywords: miRNA expression
Project description:In order to identify differentially expressed RNAs among subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue of cachxtic patients, we recruited three colon cancer patients with remarkable weight lose. We harvested adipose tissue from abdomen of patients at time of surgery and completed transcriptome sequencing using Illumina platform.

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.
Project description:To identify genes differentially expressed in abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue, we determined the mRNA transcription profile of 10 abdominal and 10 gluteal female adipose tissue sections using Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays. RNA of 10 subcutaneous abdominal and 10 subcutaneous gluteal fat depot samples was processed by Miltenyi Biotech GmbH (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and loaded on single-color Whole Human Genome 4x44K microarrays (G4112F) from Agilent Technologies.
