Project description:This dataset contains mass spectrometry-based proteomics data from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and brown adipose tissue (BAT) isolated from wild-type and adipose-tissue-specific myoglobin knockout (ATMBKO) mice maintained at room temperature (23°C), thermoneutrality (30°C), or exposed to cold (8°C). The objective of the study was to determine the contribution of adipose myoglobin to thermogenesis and thermoregulation. The dataset provides a resource to investigate depot-specific and temperature-dependent proteomic changes associated with adipose myoglobin deficiency.
Project description:The goal of ATAC-seq is to identify the open chromatin regions in the B16 and 4T1 cells after Decitabine treatment. Three biological replicates were assigned for each group and in total 12 groups were prepared for ATAC-seq libraries. We mapped about 30-100 million reads per sample to M.musculus (mm10) with bowtie2 workflow. Open chromatin regions were deducted by ChIPseeker with corrected p < 0.05. Our results showed M.Musculus have dispartate chromatin accessibility after Decitabine treatment
Project description:Histones were isolated from brown adipose tissue and liver from mice housed at 28, 22, or 8 C. Quantitative top- or middle-down approaches were used to quantitate histone H4 and H3.2 proteoforms. See published article for complimentary RNA-seq and RRBS datasets.
Project description:D-Glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, C.A.S.# 3416-24-8) (GlcN) is a freely available and commonly used dietary supplement possibly promoting cartilage health in humans which also acts as an inhibitor of glycolysis. We here find that GlcN extends C. elegans lifespan by impairing glucose metabolism to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK/AAK2) leading to increased mitochondrial biogenesis. Consistent with the concept of mitohormesis, this promotes increased formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and p38/PMK-1-mediated stress signaling culminating in increased expression of the nematodal amino acid-transporter 1 (aat-1) gene. Ameliorating mitochondrial ROS formation as well as impairment of aat-1-expression abolishes GlcN-mediated lifespan extension in a NRF2/SKN-1-dependent fashion. Notably and unlike other calorie restriction mimetics (CRM) like 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG, DOG), GlcN extends lifespan of aging C57BL/6 mice (log-rank: p=0.002; cox regression: p=0.01) similarly paralleled by an induction of mitochondrial biogenesis, increased expression of several murine amino acid transporters, as well as increased amino-acid catabolism. Taken together, GlcN mimics a ketogenic diet to extend healthspan in evolutionary distinct species. 24 samples: 12 mRNA profiles of C.elegans: 6 without GlcN and 6 with GlcN supplementaion; 12 mRNA profiles of M.musculus: 6 without GlcN and 6 with GlcN supplementaion
Project description:Understand how the transcriptome the the inguinal white adipose tissue changes between post natal 21 and 28 in regard to separation with the mother.
Project description:Rodents are commonly housed below thermoneutrality (~20°C) 1. Under these conditions there is a substantial effect on rodent physiology including the hyperactivation of brown (BAT) and beige adipose tissue 2. Here, we raised animals from weaning, on an obesogenic diet at thermoneutrality (28°C) to closer mimic human physiology and determine the impact of a) moderate cold exposure (i.e. 20°C, a temperature reduction of ~8°C) or b) treatment with YM-178, a highly-selective, clinically used β3-adrenoreceptor agonist on classical BAT or subcutaneous inguinal (IWAT) beige depots. Under these conditions, uncoupling protein 1 mRNA was undetectable in IWAT in all groups. Maintenance at 20°C drove weight gain and a 125% increase in subcutaneous fat, an effect not seen with YM-178 administration thus suggesting a direct effect of ambient temperature in promoting weight gain and adiposity in obese rats. Using exploratory adipose tissue proteomics we reveal novel processes and pathways associated with cold-induced weight gain in BAT (i.e. histone deacetylation and glycosphingolipid biosynthesis) and IWAT (i.e. NAD+ binding and retinol metabolism). Conversely, YM-178 had minimal metabolic-related effects on BAT and drove a pro-inflammatory phenotype in IWAT. Exercise training elicits diverse effects on brown (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) physiology in rodents housed below their thermoneutral zone (i.e. 28-32°C). In these conditions, BAT is chronically hyperactive and, unlike human residence, closer to thermoneutrality. Therefore, we set out to determine the effects of exercise training in obese animals at 28°C (i.e. thermoneutrality) on BAT and WAT in its basal (i.e. inactive) state. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=12) were housed at thermoneutrality from 3 weeks of age and fed a high-fat diet. At 12 weeks of age half these animals were randomised to 4-weeks of swim-training (1 hour/day, 5 days per week). Following a metabolic assessment interscapular and perivascular BAT and inguinal (I)WAT were taken for analysis of thermogenic genes and the proteome. Exercise attenuated weight gain but did not affect total fat mass or thermogenic gene expression. Proteomics revealed an impact of exercise training on2-oxoglutarate metabolic process, mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV, carbon metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. This was accompanied by an upregulation of multiple proteins involved in skeletal muscle physiology suggesting an adipocyte to myocyte switch in BAT. UCP1 mRNA was undetectable in IWAT with proteomics highlighting changes to DNA binding, the positive regulation of apoptosis, HIF-1 signalling and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.
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:In this study, different adipose tissue samples (visceral (omental), subcutaneous, epiploic) from patients with different insulin status were collected. For the proteome analyses a sub-cohort consisting of nine insulin sensitive subjects, matched to nine insulin resistant subjects by sex, age and BMI.
