Gene expression changes in adipose tissue with diet- and/or exercise-induced weight loss

ABSTRACT: An ancillary study within a randomized trial of diet, exercise, or combined diet+exercise vs. control among overweight/obese postmenopausal women. Subcutaneous adipose-tissue biopsies were performed at baseline and after 6 months and changes in adipose-tissue gene expression were determined by microarray with an emphasis on pre-specified candidate pathways, as well as by unsupervised clustering. Analyses were conducted first by randomization group, and then by degree of weight change at 6-months in all women combined.

Analyses were conducted first by randomization group, and then by degree of weight change at 6-months in all women combined. Total RNA was obtained from subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies at baseline and 6 months. A total of 47 women were biopsied and one replicate participant was included for a total of 96 samples.
Project description:STRRIDE is an exercise intervention study of different doses and intensities in overweight women and men with the metabolic syndrome. We profiled biopsies from 3 female and 3 male STRRIDE subjects in the âhighâ exercise group (2,200 kCal/wk). Muscle biopsies were profiled at entry (0h), and after 9 months of aerobic training (24 hrs post-last bout, 96 hrs post last bout, and 336h (14 days) de-training). Included also are pilot expression data from 3 male subjects.<br><br>Note that files GSM19162.txt and GSM20659.txt as downloaded from GEO are identical.
Project description:Maternal blood, as well as umbilical cord blood samples, were collected and DNA methylation levels were determined by Illumina MethylationEPIC microarray. Methods: Twenty-four subjects were chosen from a previous clinical study. Overweight/obese pregnant women (body mass index ≥24kg/m2) who had an uncomplicated pregnancy at <12+6 weeks of gestation were randomly allocated to either an exercise or a control group. Patients allocated to the exercise group performed 3 exercise bouts per week (at least 30 min/session with a rating of perceived exertion between 12-14) via a cycling program that was initiated within 3 days of randomization until 37 weeks of gestation. Patients allocated to the control group continued their usual daily activities. Maternal blood, as well as umbilical cord blood samples, were collected and DNA methylation levels were determined by Illumina MethylationEPIC microarray.
Project description:STRRIDE is an exercise intervention study of different doses and intensities in overweight women and men with the metabolic syndrome. We profiled biopsies from 3 female and 3 male STRRIDE subjects in the “high” exercise group (2,200 kCal/wk). Muscle biopsies were profiled at entry (0h), and after 9 months of aerobic training (24 hrs post-last bout, 96 hrs post last bout, and 336h (14 days) de-training). Included also are pilot expression data from 3 male subjects. Keywords: other
Project description:Obesity, a major risk factor for chronic diseases, is related to dsyfunctional adipose tissue signaling. First human trials suggest benefits of intermittent calorie restriction diet (ICR) in chronic disease prevention that may exceed those of continuous calorie restriction diet (CCR), even at equal net calorie intake. The effect of intermittent calorie restriction on adipose tissue signaling has not been investigated to date. Thus we initiated a randomized controlled trial to analyze the effect of ICR (eu-caloric diet on five days and two days per week with energy restriction of 75%), CCR (daily energy restriction of 20%) and a control group on subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) gene expression. 150 overweight or obese non-smoking adults (50 per group, 50% women) were randomly asiged to one of the study arms. SAT biopsies were taken before and after the 12 week intervention phase.
Project description:Physical exercise has a positive effect on increasing or maintaining BMD in both pre-menopausal and postmenopausal women. The underlying mechanisms of physical exercise on the osteoblast (OB) in estrogen deficiency are not well understood. We used microarray to analyze the transcriptome of OB in ovariectomized mice, with or without physical exercise. intervention.
Project description:Modification of Gene Expression of Skeletal Muscle in Response to postmenopause with or without Hormone Replacement Therapy. Even though menopause is often accompanied with first signs of age-associated changes in muscle structure and function, the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or menopause-related decline in estrogen production in the muscles of postmenopausal women is not well understood. We have used a randomized double-blinded study design together with an explorative microarray experiment to characterize possible effects of continuous, combined HRT and estrogen deprivation on the skeletal muscle of fifteen early postmenopausal women from which 10 used HRT and 5 used placebo for 12-months in a douple-blinded design. Keywords: time course analysis from HRT users and non-users comparison of gene expression in skeletal muscle of healthy postmenopausel women using HRT (n=10) vs not-using HRT (n=5)

Project description:SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase. SIRT1 plays key roles in metabolic regulation and adaptation. In this study, we wanted to compare gene expression profile in SIRT1 overexpressing mice to WT mice submitted to different intervention (caloric restriction and exercise training) in different tissues (liver, skeletal muscle, brown and white adipose tissues). SIRT1 transgenic model has already been described (Pfluger et al., 2008). Here we used homozygote transgenic mice which had been backcrossed to C57Bl/6N background. 3 months old WT and SIRT1tg mice were fed with a low fat diet. After sacrifice, total mRNA obtained from brown adipose were used for microarray. Caloric restriction (CR) : everyother day feeding during 3 months Exercise training (EX) : mice were housed in running wheel cages during 10 weeks
Project description:RATIONALE: Physical activity, diet, and counseling may help breast and colorectal cancer survivors to lose weight and improve their quality of life.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial studies how well exercise, diet, and counseling work in improving physical activity and weight loss in overweight women who are breast and colorectal cancer survivors.
