Transcriptional landscape of human adipose tissue in infancy and childhood
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Incidence of obesity is increasingly prevalent among children: global pediatric obesity incidence raised by 30% globally in the last two decades and increased tenfold in the last four decades. Being obese as a child increases the likelihood of being obese as an adult, and suffer from obesity-related health complications. Adipose tissue development in the first year of life may determine adiposity in early childhood. Our aim is to understand mechanisms that control healthy adipose tissue development from infancy to childhood. We collected adipose tissue specimens during elective surgery from the inguinal region of human infants and children, with normal BMI and without known metabolic or endocrine diseases. Samples were proceesed for extraction of total RNA, using phenol:chlorophorm extraction. Next generation RNA sequencing were performed.
