ABSTRACT: Label-free LC-MS/MS was used to characterise and quantify the secretory profiles of murine perivascular adipose tissue, canonical white adipose tissue, and brown adipose tissue.
Project description:This is the expression dataset for two studies: 1) Characterization of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptome and biological pathways in pregnant and non-pregnant women: Evidence for pregnancy-related regional-specific differences in adipose tissue and 2) Characterization of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptome in pregnant women with and without spontaneous labor at term: Implication of alternative splicing in the metabolic adaptations of adipose tissue to parturition. The studies compare expression profiles and exon usage between adipose tissue regions and groups of women (pregnant vs non-pregnant) and in labor vs not in labor. Paired design for regional differences within groups of women (identified by Subject _# in the title), and unpaired design between groups of women.
Project description:White adipose tissue regulates metabolism; the importance of this control is highlighted by the ongoing pandemic of obesity and associated complications such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cancer. White adipose tissue maintenance is a dynamic process, very little is known about how pharmacologic stimuli affect such plasticity. Combining in vivo lineage marking and BrdU labeling strategies, we found that rosiglitazone, a member of the thiazolidinedione class of glucose-lowering medicines, markedly increases the evolution of adipose progenitors into adipocytes. Notably, chronic rosiglitazone administration disrupts the adipogenic and self-renewal capacities of the stem cell compartment and alters its molecular characteristics. These data unravel unknown aspects of adipose dynamics and provide a basis to manipulate the adipose lineage for therapeutic ends. The goal of this gene expression array was to identify changes in molecular expression in adipose progenitors isolated from mice that underwent two-month rosiglitazone treatment. Adipose SV GFP+ cells (adipose progenitors) were FACS-isolated from adult AdipoTrak mice that had been treated with or without rosiglitazone (0.0075%) for 2 months. RNAs isolated from these cells were used for microarray. Each cohort contains 3-4 mice, each experimental group (-TZD and +TZD) contains 3 cohorts.
Project description:Ambient temperature affects energy intake and expenditure to maintain homeostasis in a continuously fluctuating environment. Here, mice with an adipose-specific defect in fatty acid oxidation (Cpt2A-/-) were subjected to varying temperature to determine the role of adipose bioenergetics to environmental adaptation. Cpt2A-/- brown adipose tissue (BAT) failed to induce thermogenic genes such as Ucp1 and Pgc1α in response to adrenergic stimulation, which is exacerbated by increasing temperature. Thermoneutrality induced a mitochondrial DNA stress in Cpt2A-/- BAT that resulted in a loss of classical interscapular BAT, but did not affect body weight gain or glucose tolerance in response to a high-fat diet. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse interscapular brown adipose tissue from mice acclimatized to thermoneutrality (30C) with and without beta3adrenergic stimulation with and without the deletion of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (i.e., adipose unable to beta-oxidize long chain fatty acids in mitochondria). WildType and Cpt2A KnockOut mice were treated either with or without beta3adrenergic stimulation, thus four classes. Three biologic replicates were compared per class, thus twelve mice.
Project description:We aimed to identify genes that are regulated by FGFR1 in brown adipose tissues of adult male ob/ob mice by injecting 1 mg/kg anti-FGFR1 agonistic antibody. Brown adipose tissues were isolated from adult male ob/ob mice at day 4 after a single intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg anti-FGFR1 agonistic antibody or pair-fed mice injected with control IgG. N=6 mice per each group.
Project description:In Crohn’s disease (CD), microbe-host interactions are altered, with changes in microbial’s communities and barrier defects leading to translocation of microbes to surrounding adipose tissue (AT). We evaluated the presence of beige AT depots in CD and questioned whether succinate and/or bacterial translocation promotes white-to-beige transition in adipocytes.
Project description:Matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) is a macrophage-secreted protein that is massively upregulated as a pro-inflammatory factor in metabolic and vascular tissues of mice and humans suffering from cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). However, the molecular mechanisms explaining the contributions of MMP12 to CMDs are still unclear.
Project description:Microarray studies were performed to identify expression patterns by cryopreserved adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF) preparations that were prepared by three different veterinary stem cell companies from the same source of canine adipose tissue. [Samples 1 - 3] Three equal samples of approximately 20 grams of adipose tissue were shipped on ice to 3 different companies which specialize in adipose-derived veterinary stem cell therapy. All 3 SVF preparations were cryopreserved at their respective facilities. Approximately one month later, cryopreserved samples were retrieved from all companies and transported frozen to the University of Kentucky for gene profiling and viability analysis. [Samples 4 - 11] Groups of cells (samples 5, 7, 9, 11) were treated by the stem cell company with photo-activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) according to their proprietary procedures in order to enhance regenerative properties of the adipose stem cells. These PRP-treated cells were incubated in the investigator's lab for 6 hours at 37 degrees Celsius to allow for expression of genes that were induced by PRP treatment.
Project description:Objectives Intermittent fasting is an effective dietary intervention to combat metabolic disease. Here, we explore the adipose depot specific response to every-other-day fasting (EODF) in mice to identify mechanisms that underly the beneficial effects. Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were placed on a 12-day EODF or ad libitum diet, after which tissues were harvested including visceral (vWAT) and subcutaneous (scWAT) white adipose tissue, as well as brown adipose tissue (BAT), which was then analysed by unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Results After EODF treatment, pathway enrichment analysis of our dataset showed that both WAT depots showed increased mitochondrial protein content, with scWAT also showing increased UCP1, but mitochondrial protein content was decreased in BAT. This effect on mitochondria is correlated to the increased abundance of proteins involved in glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, the TCA cycle and fatty acid synthesis in both WAT depots. Furthermore, EODF-treated mice downregulated the lipolysis pathway in vWAT including a 5-fold decrease in the abundance of the beta3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3). Enrichment analysis lso revealed that vWAT of EODF treated mice had significantly reduced ECM proteins, which lowers the inflammatory potential of this organ. Our adipose depot proteomic survey also allowed us to identify depot-enriched protein expression, such as the vWAT enrichment for the AKAP12 protein related to PKA signalling that was down-regulated by EODF treatment. Conclusions These findings show how the adipose depots have adapted to the EODF regime to preserve the lipid store, with the most striking changes occurring in the vWAT depot to downregulate the lipolysis pathway and induce expression of pathways needed for fatty acid synthesis. This substrate cycling and reduced inflammatory potential of the adipose tissue may contribute to the improved insulin sensitivity observed in these animals.
Project description:Inflammatory crosstalk between perivascular adipose tissue and and blood vessel wall may contribute to atherosclerosis pathogenesis, and exhibits more pro-inflammatory than adipogenic phenotype than subcutaneous adipocytes. To identify a genomic basis for biologic differences, we performed genome-wide expression to identiy expression genes differentially regulated between perivascular and subcutaneous adipocytes.for biologic differences. We performed global gene expression analyses on in vitro differentiated adipocytes from human left coronary artery perivascular adipose tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissues derived from unrelated donors who were non-obese and did not have any known metabolic or atherosclerotic disease.
