ABSTRACT: Genes showing differential expression in visceral adipose tissue obtained from Asia Indian obese women suffering from type-2 diabetes mellitus as compared to age and BMI matched normal glucose tolerant women were identified by genome wide transcriptomic profiling in 5 diabetic and 5 control subjects respectively.
Project description:We have identified molecular-level alternations in different adipose depots (thigh, visceral and subcutaneous) of Asian Indians (both male and female) suffering from type-2 diabetes as compared to age and BMI matched normal glucose tolerant subjects by functional analysis of differentially expressed genes, and correlation of gene expression estimates with measured intermediate traits associated with T2D and its related co-morbidities (Hb1Ac, HOMA-B, HOMA-R, NEFA, Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, Leptin, Adiponectin, TNF-α, Serum- Creatinine, IL-6, High sensitivity - serum-creatinine (hs-CRP) and also size of adipocytes).

Project description:We profiled gene expression in peripheral blood cells from 28 obese patients by microarray analysis and visceral fat accumulation caused the gene expression proliles especially in circadian rhythm, inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune response. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 kg/m2 according to the Japanese criteria and visceral fat area (VFA) was estimated by abdominal bioelectrical impedance analysis. Subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmune diseases, malignant diseases, and infectious diseases were excluded. Patients treated with statin and/or thiazolidinediones were also excluded.
Project description:To predict differentially expressed miRNAs between monosomy 3 and disomy 3, and to associate these miRNAs with the clinico-pathological parameters in South Asian Indian population with uveal melanoma (UM). The study consists of six uveal melanoma primary tumour tissues of South Asian-Indian population. These six tumours have been screened for chromosome 3 aberration using Chromogenic in-situ hybridisation (CISH). Thus, sample under the study includes, three each of monosomy 3 and disomy 3. The miRNA profiling was carried out from the tumor sections of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded eyeball samples. miRNA expression profile was obtained in monosomy 3 and disomy 3 samples, analysed by unsupervised analysis (Principal Component Analysis) and supervised analysis (Significance analysis of microarray). The select up-regulated and candidate miRNAs associated with monosomy 3 uveal melanoma tumors were validated further with qRT-PCR (n=86). Thus, this study indicates the role of miRNAs in UM tumor progression and their implication in predetermining the liver metastasis.

Project description:Visceral adipose tissue samples were obtained from severely obese individuals that underwent bariatric surgery. The goal of this study was to identify tissue specific methylation QTLs. Whole-transcriptome subcutaneous adipose tissue methylation levels were determined in 71 individuals with a BMI >35 kg/m2. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 71 visceral adipose tissue samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip.
Project description:Cervical cancer (CACX) is the tumor of the uterine cervix and its primary etiological factor is the infection of high risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV), primarily HPV16 and HPV18. CACX is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. In India, CACX accounts for approximately 1,22,844 new cases and 67,477 deaths annually. It is evident that Indian women are getting diagnosed at invasive stages of CACX leading to poor prognosis. Here, we tried to understand the change in the expression profile during the development of the tumor starting from HPV-negative normal samples to invasive CACX samples and try to understand the pathogenesis of cervical carcinoma in Indian patients.
Project description:Whole-transcriptome profiles of individual human placental villi samples from twenty-five (25) Indian women with normal pregnancies during 6- to 8-weeks of gestation were examined using human whole genome expression arrays (NimbleGen 135K).
Project description:Subcutaneous adipose tissue and visceral adipose tissue samples were obtained from severely obese individuals that underwent bariatric surgery. The goal of this study was to compare genome-wide gene expression levels in the two tissue types from healthy and unhealthy severely obese individuals. Whole-transcriptome subcutaneous adipose tissue gene expression levels were determined in 73 individuals with a BMI >35 kg/m2. Whole-transcriptome visceral adipose tissue gene expression levels were determined in 69 individuals with a BMI >35 kg/m2. Modules of co-expressed genes likely to be functionally related were identfied and correlated with BMI, plasma levels of glucose, insulin, HbA1c, triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, ALAT, ASAT, C-reactive protein, and LDL- and HDL cholesterol.

Project description:Adipose tissue (AT) distribution is an important determinant of cardiometabolic health. Increased visceral adiposity has been associated with a higher risk of obesity-related diseases. An important step in deciphering the molecular complexity of subcutaneous AT (SAT) and visceral AT (VAT) is to elucidate the molecular composition of the principal AT cell type, adipocytes. We present a comprehensive protein expression profile of abdominal subcutaneous (SA) and omental visceral adipocytes (VA). We isolated adipocytes from paired AT biopsies obtained during bariatric surgery of 19 morbidly obese women (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and performed state-of-the-art mass spectrometry to investigate their proteome profiles. We identified 3,686 proteins groups and found 1,140 differentially expressed proteins (adj. p-value < 0.05), of which 576 proteins were upregulated in SA and 564 in VA samples. In addition to providing a global protein profile of abdominal SA and omental VA, we also present the most differentially expressed pathways and processes distinguishing SA from VA. We show that SA are significantly more active in processes linked to vesicular transport and secretion, and also to increased lipid metabolism activity. Conversely, the expression of proteins involved in the mitochondrial energy metabolism and translational or biosynthetic activity is higher in VA. We also performed prediction analyses of differentially expressed putative secreted proteins, which revealed a significantly higher number of potentially secreted proteins in SA compared to VA. Our analysis represents a valuable resource of protein expression profiles in abdominal SA and omental VA, highlighting key differences in their role in obesity. Additionally, we predict possible protein targets among secreted proteins, which may be utilized for the further investigation of the role of different AT depots in obesity using peripheral blood.
