Transcriptomic Analysis of Gonadal Adipose Tissue in Male Mice Exposed Perinatally to 2,2',4,4'- Tetrabromodiphenyl Ether (BDE-47)

ABSTRACT: For the majority of lipophilic compounds adipose tissue is traditionally considered as storage depot and only rarely as a target organ. Meanwhile, abnormalities in adipose tissue physiology induced by chemical exposures may contribute to the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic diseases. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) is a group of lipophilic flame retardants found in majority of human samples in North America. Their ability to alter physiology of adipose tissue is unknown. We exposed pregnant mice to 0.2 mg/kg body weight/day of BDE-47 perinatally. Transcriptomic changes in gonadal adipose tissue were analyzed in male offspring using RNA-seq approach with subsequent bioinformatic analysis. Genes of coagulation and complement cascade, de novo lipogenesis, and xenobiotic metabolism were altered in expression in response to BDE-47 exposure. The affected molecular network included the following hubs: PPARα, HNF1A and HNF4. These findings suggest that adipose tissue should be considered a target tissue for BDE-47, in addition to its role as a storage depot. This study also builds a background for a targeted search of sensitive phenotypic endpoints of BDE-47 exposure, including lipid profile parameters and coagulation factors in circulation. Additional studies are needed to investigate the role of PBDEs as an obesogen.

Project description:*Background: Adipocytes mainly function as energy storage and endocrine cells. The amount and distribution of fat are important factor that influence the meat quality in the beef industry. Fat depot can be found around internal organ (ometal), beneath the skin (subcutaneous), and between muscles (intramuscular). Different adipose depot showed the biological and genetic difference depending on their location. This inter-depot variation might be influenced by the inherent genetic programing for development of adipose depots. In this study, we used RNA-seq data to investigate the difference in transcriptome of various adipose depots in Hanwoo. *Results: Using RNA-seq, we identified 5797, 2156, and 5455 DEGs in the comparison between OI, OS, and IS respectively (FDR<0.01) and found 853, 48, and 979 DEGs specific to subcutaneous, intramuscular and omental fat respectively. DEGs in intramuscular fat were highly enriched the metabolism related pathways compared to other fat depots. DEGs specific to the omental fat is significantly enriched in PPAR signaling pathway and cell-junction related pathway. In subcutaneous fat, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction with chemokines (CXC and CC subfamily) was the most significantly enriched the pathways. Interestingly, melanogenesis pathway was associated with the subcutaneous depot. Even though the adipose tissues shared the same pathways for adipocyte differentiation, the regulation of genes were different based on the depot. *Conclusions: We comparatively analyzed the transcripome profile from different adipose tissues using NGS and identified DEGs between adipose depot and specific to depot in Hanwoo animals. The functional annotation analysis of DEGs found that transcriptome profile difference in various adipose tissue of intramuscular, subcutaneous, and ometal fat. whole mRNA sequencing profiles of nine Korean native cattle (nine profiles of omental fat tissue, nine profiles of intramuscular fat tissue, nine profiles of subcutaneous fat tissue and eight profiles of muscle tissue)
