Project description:Previous publications demonstrated that there were anatomical, physiological, cellular, clinical and prognostic differences among adipose tissue present in subcutaneous areas, abdominal cavity and outside adventitial layer of artery. Thus, we wondered whether ASCs from subcutaneous adipose tissue, abdominal adipose tissue and perivascular adipose tissue were also different in gene expression. Here we performed bulk RNA-Seq assay for subcutaneous, abdominal and perivascular adipose derived stem cells.
Project description:Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were harvested from subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with obesity or healthy controls and expanded for 3-4 passages, and 5hmC profiles were examined through hydroxymethylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (hMeDIP-seq). We hypothesized that obesity and cardiovascular risk factors induce functionally-relevant, locus-specific changes in overall exonic coverage of 5hmC in human adipose-derived MSCs.
