ABSTRACT: Affymetrix miRNA 3.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from obese and lean human subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile exosomes shed from obese and lean human subcutaneous fat that was cultured for 60 minutes.
Project description:Affymetrix miRNA 3.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from obese and lean human subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile exosomes shed from obese and lean human subcutaneous fat that was cultured for 60 minutes. Human obese and lean subcutaneous fat were surgically acquired, dissected, and promptly cultured for 60 minutes. We used the culture supernatants for exosome purification and isolation using ExoQuick-TC Precipitation Solution.

Project description:Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from lean and obese subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile FABP4+ (adipocyte-derived) exosomes isolated from serum of lean and obese subjects.
Project description:Adipocytes isolated from lean and obese postmenopausal women with no significant differences in metabolic syndrome parameters demonstrate changes in multiple inflammatory, metabolic and structural gene families. Purified adipocyte samples were isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue surgical biopsies of 7 obese (BMI>30) and 7 lean (BMI<25) postmenoposal women and gene expression was quantified with Agilent-014850, 4X44K human whole genome platform arrays (GPL6480)
Project description:This study examines the transgenerational adipocyte (fat cell) epigenetic alterations in F3 generation obese and lean rats ancestrally exposed to DDT and atrazine. Adipocytes were isolated from the gonadal fat pad of F3 generation 1-year old rats ancestrally exposed to DDT, atrazine, or vehicle control in order to obtain adipocyte DNA for DNA methylation analysis. Observations indicate that there were differential DNA methylated regions (DMRs) in the adipocytes with the lean or obese phenotypes compared to control normal (non-obese or lean) populations. Interestingly, there were epigenetic changes that were distinct when comparing the lean and obese DMRs between the control and exposure lineage groups. DMR gene associations were identified which included common set of genes previously shown to associate with adipocyte pathology. The comparison of epigenetic alterations indicated that there were substantial overlaps between the different treatment lineage groups for both the lean and obese phenotypes. Novel correlated genes and gene pathways associated with DNA methylation were identified, and may aid in the discovery of potential therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases such as obesity.
Project description:Microarray analysis comparing gene expression profiles of adipocytes from non-diabetic lean vs non-diabetic obese Pima Indian subjects to identify differentially expressed adipocyte genes with obesity. RNA samples of isolated abdominal subcutaneous adipocytes from 20 lean (10 Males / 10 Females, aged 31±6 year, Body Mass Index 25±3 kg/m2 ) and 19 obese (9M/10F, 29±5y, 55±8 kg/m2 ) subjects were hybridized individually to Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays HG-U95A, B, C, D, and E.
Project description:High-fat diet (HFD) decreases insulin sensitivity. How high-fat diet causes insulin resistance is largely unknown. Here, we show that lean mice become insulin resistant after being administered exosomes isolated from the feces of obese mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or from human type II diabetic patients with diabetes. HFD altered the lipid composition of exosomes from predominantly PE in exosomes from lean animals (L-Exo) to PC in exosomes from obese animals (H-Exo). Mechanistically, we show that intestinal H-Exo is taken up by macrophages and hepatocytes, leading to inhibition of the insulin signaling pathway. Moreover, exosome-derived PC binds to and activates AhR, leading to inhibition of the expression of genes essential for activation of the insulin signaling pathway, including IRS-2, and its downstream genes PI3K and Akt. Together, our results reveal HFD-induced exosomes as potential contributors to the development of insulin resistance. Intestinal exosomes thus have potential as broad therapeutic targets.
Project description:Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from pre and post bariatric subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile FABP4+ (adipocyte-derived) exosomes isolated from serum from pre and post bariatric subjects.
Project description:The aim of the current study was to characterize the differential cellular and exosomal miRNAs during inflammation or high fat diet-induced obesity in mice. Mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) and abdominal aorta (AA) from mice fed a normal chow diet (NCD) or a high fat diet (HFD) were harvested for miRNA profiling. MAT-derived adipocytes (MAT-Ad) challenged with either lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 µg/ml) or PBS were harvested for miRNA profiling. Meanwhile, miRNAs encapsulated in MAT-Ad-derived exosomes (MAT-Ad-EX) were also analyzed. Hierarchical clustering analysis performed on most significantly regulated miRNAs (HFD vs NCD in tissues; LPS challenge vs PBS in the cells) showed a set of miRNAs that are differentially expressed in obese versus lean MAT or AA tissues, and in LPS-challenged versus PBS-treated MAT-Ads. The dysregulated of miRNAs in MAT-Ad-EX was also generated and hierarchically clustered, induced by prolonged exposure to microbial product.
