Project description:Background CD44 is a transmembrane protein, which plays an essential role for transducing extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling cascades especially in cancer cells. Recent studies have shown that CD44 may contribute to metabolic regulation. However, whether and how CD44 affects adipocyte differentiation in white adipose tissue (WAT) remain unclear. Wild type (WT) and CD44 knockout (KO) mice were fed with high-fat diet to induce obesity. eWAT from mice were then harvested for RNA-seq
Project description:Analysis of white adipose tissue of PPARb/d knockout mice. Data may point towards putative target genes of PPARb/d and thus the function of PPARb/d in white adipose tissue. Datasets were used to identify glycogen synthase 2 as novel PPAR target. Keywords: gene expression array-based, count
Project description:We conducted expression profiling of white adipose tissue isolated from WT and miR-22 KO animals. The main work is analysis of the miR-22 function in striated muscle. White adipose tissue (WAT) was analyzed to look at effects in WAT, as that might be induced by metabolic changes in skeletal muscle.
Project description:White adipose tissue is a central place to energy storage and a major endocrine organ. However, adipose molecular mechanisms have been poorly studied during prolonged fasting. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to decipher proteomic regulations in rat adipose tissue during phase 2 (lipid mobilization) and phase 3 (protein catabolism) of prolonged fasting compared to the fed state. Specific responses reflecting adipose tissue inflammation, increased fibrinolysis and a possible protein catabolism-related energy saving mechanism were recorded during phase 3. Differences between internal and subcutaneous adipose tissues were essentially related to lipid metabolism, the response to oxidative stress and energy production. These data thus provide a molecular basis of adipose tissue responses according to the fasting stage.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify genes expressed selectively in brown adipose tissue as compared to white adipose tissue from the same animals. This analysis provides a gene set that is brown and white adipose selective. Keywords: tissue comparison from mice
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify genes expressed selectively in brown adipose tissue as compared to white adipose tissue from the same animals. This analysis provides a gene set that is brown and white adipose selective. Experiment Overall Design: Interscapular brown adipose tissue and epididymal white adipose tissue was carefully dissected from 3 male C57Bl/6 mice. These samples were profiled independently using Affymetrix mouse 430_2 gene arrays, representing 3 biological replicates for each brown and white adipose tissues.
