Project description:We conducted prospective clinical studies to validate the importance of CD4+ T cells in 13 diseases from the following ICD-10-CM chapters: Neoplasms (breast cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia); endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (type I diabetes, obesity); diseases of the circulatory system (atherosclerosis); diseases of the respiratory system (acute tonsillitis, influenza, seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma); diseases of the digestive system (Crohn’s disease [CD], ulcerative colitis [UC]); and diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (atopic eczema, psoriatic diseases). Study participants were recruited by clinical specialists based on diagnostic criteria defined by organizations representing each specialist’s discipline. Age and gender matched healthy controls (n = 127 and 39, respectively) were recruited in the Southeast region of Sweden from outpatient clinics at the University Hospital, Linköping; Ryhov County Hospital, Jönköping, a primary health care center in Jönköping; and a medical specialist unit for children in Värnamo. Study participants represented both urban and rural populations with an age range of 8–94 years. Patients with type I diabetes and obesity had an age range of 8–18 years. 12 patients had more than one diagnosis.

Project description:Obesity is a major risk factor for several chronic diseases including diabetes, fatty liver disease and cancer. Despite similar propensities for obesity, Hispanics and African Americans exhibit unique and distinct differences in obesity related outcomes such as greater risk of, obesity-related cancers in AA and non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Hispanics. This study was aimed to determine whether differences in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) gene expression in obese, Hispanic and AA young adults might explain ethnic differences in obesity-related phenotypes. cross-sectional study design to compare subcutaneous adipose tissue gene expression profiles of 19 Hispanic and 17 African American young adults

Project description:Obesity is a growing epidemic worldwide and is a major risk factor for several chronic diseases, including diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, and cancer. The global epidemic of obesity has been accompanied with a dramatic increase in the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity often leads to T2D, via the increased production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha. Our study combines different proteomic techniques to investigate the changes in the global proteome, secretome and phosphoproteome of adipocytes under chronic inflammation condition, as well as fundamental cross-talks between different cellular pathways regulated by chronic TNF alpha exposure. Our results show that many key regulator proteins of the canonical and non-canonical NF-kB pathways, such as Nfkb2, and its downstream effectors, including Csf-1 and Lgals3bp, directly involved in leukocyte migration and invasion, were significantly upregulated at the intra and extracellular levels, culminating in the progression of inflammation. Our data provides evidence of several key proteins that play a role in the development of insulin resistance.

Project description:Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a global health burden, is strongly associated with age-related renal function decline, hypertension and diabetes, frequent consequences of obesity. Despite extensive studies the mechanisms determining susceptibility to CKD remain elusive. Clinical evidence together with prior studies from our group showed that perinatal metabolic disorders after maternal obesity adversely affect kidney structure and function throughout life. Since obesity and aging processes converge in similar pathways we tested if perinatal obesity induced by High-Fat Diet (HFD)-fed female mice sensitizes aging-associated mechanism in kidneys of newborn mice. Tissue from the kidney cortex and the kidney medulla was collected from offspring of control or HFD-fed mice.

Project description:The FINRISK cohorts comprise the respondents of representative, cross-sectional population
surveys that are carried out every 5 years since 1972, to assess the risk factors of chronic
diseases (e.g. CVD, diabetes, obesity, cancer) and health behavior in the working age
population, in 3-5 large study areas of Finland. DNA samples were collected in the following
survey years: 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2012. The MONICA and EHES (EU)
procedures were applied in phenotype collection (cf. MORGAM) and a wide spectrum of
laboratory tests was carried out from serum and plasma samples. Background information on
socioeconomic status, medical history, diet, exercise, measured anthropometric measures,
etc. was collected by questionnaires and during a clinical visit. Plasma/serum samples are
still available for the 2002-2012 cohorts. The cohort sizes are 6000-8800 per survey. The
cohorts have been followed up by linking them to the national hospital discharge register,
causes-of-death register and cancer register.
This project is an extension to previous efforts to build a catalogue of Finnish genome wide
data on population-based Finsrisk samples with rich phenotypic characterisations and health
registry link-up. These samples will extend the current Sequencing Initiative Suomi (SISu)
samples with a combination of genotyping using Illumina HumanCoreExome array and SISu-
based imputation. This will lead to high confidence common and low frequency variant
catalogue. The project will be funded by Aarno Palotie’s remaining faculty funds
complemented by Finnish funding from FIMM.

Project description:With increasing age of the global population, age-associated diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer or diabetes are on the rise in many countries. To identify cellular processes and markers of aging in humans, this study performed comparative whole genome microarray gene expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from two age groups, i.e., an old age group (age: 75-89 years) and a younger, middle-aged group (age: 35-50 years). Total RNA was isolated from the PBMC and subjected to whole genome microarray gene expression profiling. The whole genome gene expression data of human PBMC reveal age-associated changes in transcript levels and contribute to a better understanding of biological processes underlying aging and the pathogenesis of age-associated diseases.

Project description:Obesity and its co-morbidities, such as diabetes and hypertension, can significantly reduce a person’s quality of life and place huge pressure on healthcare resources. When we eat a meal our gut and brain release hormones to control the amount of food and fluid we ingest to prevent overeating. One of these hormones is called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and is released from intestinal cells in response to food intake, but also produced and released in the brain. Drug analogues of GLP-1 are already in use in the clinic to treat both diabetes and obesity. The aim of this work was to obtain fundamental knowledge about a GLP-1 receptor population in nerve terminals of the posterior pituitary gland. We have investigated the pharmacological actions of GLP-1 using a selective receptor agonist called liraglutide, a drug that is approved for diabetes and obesity treatment in humans. Our work has focussed on the phosphoproteome of the neurointermediate lobe (posterior pituitary + intermediate lobe) of the rat pituitary gland 30 minutes after intraperitoneal injection of liraglutide (100 µg/kg) compared to vehicle controls (n = 6 animals per group). New understanding of this GLP-1 receptor population is essential for our knowledge of current treatments of diabetes and obesity that use stable peptide analogues in humans.

Project description:Low-grade chronic inflammation plays an important role in the development of obesity and obesity-associated disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. One possible link between obesity and inflammation is the enhanced activation of circulating monocytes making them more prone to infiltration into the adipose and vascular tissues of obese persons. microRNAs are a class of small endogenous non-coding RNAs, which function as important regulators of inflammation by modulating gene expression. Therefore, microRNA analysis of circulating monocytes from control and obese patients will potentially provide insights into the pathophysiology of obesity and associated disorders and supply biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. The cohort comprised 6 lean age-matched controls (BMI: 20±0.8 kg/m2, mean±SEM) and 9 obese individuals without clinical symptoms of cardiovascular disease (BMI: 46±1.5 kg/m2, P<0.001 compared with lean controls). CD14+ monocytes were collected, total RNA was extracted and subjected to microRNA expression analysis. Samples consisted of CD14+ monocytes from 6 lean controls and 9 morbidly obese patients.

Project description:Obesity represents a global burden with an increasing worldwide prevalence, especially in women of reproductive age. Obesity in women, defined as a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2, has a worldwide prevalence ~21%, however, it exceeds 30% in countries such as Chile, Mexico, United States, and the United Kingdom. Growing evidence support the notion that pre-gestational obesity confers an increased risk for the development of diabetes, obesity and chronic inflammatory diseases in the offspring later in life. In fact, maternal obesity during gestation is associated with an increased risk of asthma and wheezing during early or late infancy, in terms of medication and need for hospital admission. Here we report changes in DNA methylation at a genomic level in monocytes isolated by adherence from cord blood of neonates born to women with obesity and integrate these changes to reveal the epigenetic programming of immune signaling pathways resulting from maternal obesity.
