Project description:To explore the link between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and obisity, we profiled the transcriptional changes of the co-morbidites as well as indivitual morbidities on brain, immune and adipose tissue, at the single cell level. We observed effects of both morbidities, including AD-associated alterations in microglia and astrocytes in AD mice, and HFD-associated transcriptional changes in teh brain and the adipose.

Project description:Obesity and aging represent major health burdens to the global adult population. Both conditions promote the development of associated metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance. The visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a site that becomes dysfunctional during obesity and aging, and plays a significant role during their pathophysiology. The changes in obese and aging VAT are now recognized to be partly driven by a chronic local inflammatory state, characterized by immune cells that typically adopt an inflammatory phenotype during metabolic disease. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the immune cell landscape of the VAT during lean, obese, and aged conditions, highlighting their similarities and differences. We also briefly discuss possible linked mechanisms that fuel obesity- and age-associated VAT dysfunction.

Project description:Background & objectives:Obesity is a health problem that requires substantial efforts to understand the physiopathology of its various types and to determine therapeutic strategies for its treatment. The objective of this study was to characterize differences in the global gene expression profiles of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) between control patients (normal weight) and patients with obesity (IMC?30) using microarrays. Methods:Employing RNA isolated from SAT and VAT samples obtained from eight control and eight class I, II and III patients with obesity, the gene expression profiles were compared between SAT and VAT using microarrays and the findings were validated via real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results:A total of 327 and 488 genes were found to be differentially expressed in SAT and VAT, respectively (P?0.05). Upregulation of PPAP2C, CYP4A11 and CYP17A1 genes was seen in the VAT of obese individuals. Interpretation & conclusions:SAT and VAT exhibited significant differences in terms of the expression of specific genes. These genes might be related to obesity. These findings may be used to improve the clinical diagnosis of obesity and could be a tool leading to the proposal of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of obesity.

Project description:ObjectiveThe goal of the present study was to identify differences in gene expression between SAT, VAT and EAT depots in Class III severely obese individuals.DesignHuman subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissues exhibit differential gene expression profiles. There is little information, however, about the other proximal white adipose tissue, epigastric (EAT), in terms of its function and contribution to metabolism.Subjects and methodsUsing RNA from adipose biospecimens obtained from Class III severely obese patients undergoing open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, we compared gene expression profiles between SAT, VAT and EAT, using microarrays validated by real-time quantitative PCR.ResultsThe three depots were found to share 1907 genes. VAT had the greatest number of genes (66) expressed exclusively in this depot, followed by SAT (23), and then EAT (14). Moreover, VAT shared more genes with EAT (65) than with SAT (38). Further analyses using ratios of SAT/EAT, VAT/EAT and SAT/VAT identified specific as well as overlapping networks and pathways of genes representing dermatological diseases, inflammation, cell cycle and growth, cancer and development. Targeted analysis of genes, having a role in adipose tissue development and function, revealed that Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor Gamma Coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1-α) that regulates the precursor of the hormone Irisin (FNCD5) were abundantly expressed in all three fat depots, along with fibroblast growth factors (FGF) FGF1, FGF7 and FGF10, whereas, FGF19 and FGF21 were undetectable.ConclusionsThese data indicate that EAT has more in common with VAT, suggesting similar metabolic potential. The human epigastric adipose depot could have a significant functional role in metabolic diseases and should be further investigated.

Project description:Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a main site where metabolic and immunologic processes interplay to regulate, at local and systemic level, the inflammatory status and immune response. Obesity-associated inflammation and immune dysfunctions are inextricably linked to tumor but, in spite of intense efforts, the mechanisms underpinning this association remain elusive. In this report, we characterized the profile of VAT-associated and circulating innate lymphocyte and regulatory T (Treg) cell subsets underlying inflammatory conditions, such as obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC). Analysis of NK, NKT-like, ?? T, and Treg cell populations in VAT and blood of healthy lean subjects revealed that CD56hi NK and OX40+ Treg cells are more abundant in VAT with respect to blood. Conversely, CD56dim NK and total Treg cells are most present in the circulation, while ?? T lymphocytes are uniformly distributed in the two compartments. Interestingly, a reduced frequency of circulating activated Treg cells, and a concomitant preferential enrichment of OX40-expressing Treg cells in VAT, were selectively observed in obese (Ob) subjects, and directly correlated with body mass index. Likewise, CRC patients were characterized by a specific enrichment of VAT-associated NKT-like cells. In addition, Ob and CRC-affected individuals shared a significant reduction of the V?9V?2/?? T cell ratio at systemic level. The alterations in the relative proportions of Treg and NKT-like cells in VAT were found to correlate with the content of pro- and anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively. Overall, these results provide evidence for distinct alterations of the immune cell repertoire in the periphery with respect to the VAT microenvironment that uniquely characterize or are shared by different inflammatory conditions, such as obesity and CRC, and suggest that VAT PUFA composition may represent one of the factors that contribute to shape the immune phenotypes.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of natural resistance to high-fat diet-induced obesity. Four-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet for 6 weeks and were then designated as high-fat diet-fed obesity-prone (HOP) and obesity-resistant (HOR) animals. Their blood biochemistry was evaluated, and visceral adipose tissue samples were subjected to proteomic, Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) analyses. The HOR mice showed reduced visceral fat weight and size, as well as lowered serum lipid and leptin levels. Proteomic analysis showed that enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1, peroxisomal (Ech1) expression was significantly increased in their visceral adipose tissues. Moreover, other proteins, such as ?-tropomyosin, myosin light chain, urine-nucleoside phosphorylase and transgelin, were also significantly increased. Furthermore, q-PCR analysis showed that the expression of acyl-CoA oxidase 1 palmitoyl, enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase responsible for peroxisomal ?-oxidation was also up-regulated in the visceral adipose tissues of the HOR mice. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?) was increased in the HOR mice as shown by Western blot analysis. Obesity-resistant animals show enhanced peroxisomal ?-oxidation metabolism and reduced fat accumulation in visceral adipose tissues by up-regulating the expression of Ech1, peroxisomal or other related peroxisomal ?-oxidation marker genes, which may be driven or enhanced by the up-regulation of the expression of PPAR?. However, further validation in future studies is required.

Project description:In adipose tissue, reduced expression of the glycerol channel aquaporin 7 (AQP7) has been associated with increased accumulation of triglyceride. The present study determines the relative protein abundances of lipolytic enzymes, AQP7, and cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) in paired mesenteric and omental visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and abdominal and femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in women with either normal weight or upper-body obesity. No differences in the expression of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) or AQP7 were found between the two groups in the four depots. The expression of adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and HSL were higher in omental VAT and femoral SAT than in mesenteric VAT in both groups of women. Similarly, AQP7 expression was higher in omental VAT than in mesenteric VAT. The expression of PEPCK-C was lower in omental VAT than in femoral SAT. No correlation between the expression of AQP7 and the mean adipocyte size was observed; however, the expression of PEPCK-C positively correlated with the mean adipocyte size. In conclusion, a depot-specific protein expression pattern was found for ATGL, HSL, AQP7, and PEPCK-C. The expression pattern supports that the regulation of AQP7 protein expression is at least in part linked to the lipolytic rate. Furthermore, the results support that the synthesis of glycerol-3-phosphate via glyceroneogenesis contributes to regulating triglyceride accumulation in white adipose tissue in women.

Project description:Obesity is a global health concern affecting over 650 million adults with a major contributor being an increased consumption of a high-fat diet. Maternal obesity often results in an increased risk of offspring developing obesity. In this study, we examined the effect of diet on visceral adipose in a pre-clinical model of generational diet-induced obesity that included maternal cohorts of C57BL/6 mice fed either a control diet (10% fat) or a high-fat diet (45% fat) and the resulting female offspring fed either diet. Using bottom-up proteomics on omental adipose tissue, differential protein expression was determined with the greatest difference resulting from the generational obese cohort. Differentially expressed proteins were involved in pathways related to cancer, inflammatory disease and immune response. Taken together, the results of this study provide molecular-level insight that will enable the development of more targeted, modifiable interventions that could be implemented pre-, during and post-pregnancy.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the effects of a 9-month physical activity intervention on changes in adiposity and cognitive control based on pretrial weight status (ie, healthy weight vs obese) in children.Study designParticipants included obese (n = 77) and matched healthy-weight (n = 77) preadolescents (8-9 years) who participated in a 9-month physical activity randomized controlled trial. Cognitive function was assessed with an inhibitory control task (modified flanker task).ResultsAfter the 9-month physical activity intervention, participants exhibited a reduction in adiposity. In contrast, children in the waitlist-control condition, particularly children identified as obese pretrial, gained visceral adipose tissue (P= .008). Changes in visceral adipose tissue were related to changes in cognitive performance, such that the degree of reduction in visceral adipose tissue directly related to greater gains in inhibitory control, particularly among obese intervention participants (CI -0.14, -0.04; P= .001).ConclusionsParticipation in a daily physical activity program not only reduces adiposity but also improves children's cognitive function as demonstrated by an inhibitory control task. Furthermore, these findings reveal that the benefits of physical activity to improvements in cognitive function are particularly evident among children who are obese.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01334359 and NCT01619826.
