Project description:Saturated fatty acids (SFA) are widely thought to induce inflammation in adipose tissue (AT), while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are purported to have the opposite effect; however, it is unclear if individual SFA and MUFA behave similarly. Our goal was to examine adipocyte transcriptional networks regulated by individual SFA (palmitic acid, PA; stearic acid, SA) and MUFA (palmitoleic acid, PMA; oleic acid, OA). Global gene expression was examined in differentiated preadipocytes treated with either 250 μM PA, SA, PMA, or OA for 48 hrs. Individual fatty acid treatments had significant effects on adipocyte gene expression. Functional analyses revealed that PA induced the TLR signalling pathway, while PMA had the opposite effect. SA and OA had similar effects, with increases in key metabolic pathways including mTOR and PPAR signalling, and a reduction in TLR signalling. Ccl5 was validated as a candidate gene that may mediate the differential inflammatory effects of SFA and MUFA in AT. Individual SFA and MUFA trigger distinct transcriptional responses in differentiated preadipocytes, with inflammatory and metabolic pathways particularly sensitive to these fatty acids.

Global gene expression was examined in differentiated preadipocytes treated with either 250 M-NM-<M PA, SA, PMA, or OA for 48 hrs. Individual fatty acid treatments had significant effects on adipocyte gene expression. Functional analyses revealed that PA induced the TLR signalling pathway, while PMA had the opposite effect.

Individual SFA and MUFA trigger distinct transcriptional responses in differentiated preadipocytes, with inflammatory and metabolic pathways particularly sensitive to these fatty acids. A total of 4 microarrays were run for each FA treatment. We experienced difficulties with the cRNA amplification for one replicate from the OA treated cells; therefore this treatment group only had an n=3. For each sample, 100 ng of total RNA was prepared for hybridization to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.1 ST array strips, according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions (Affymetrix Inc., Fremont, CA, USA).
Project description:Adipose tissues are closely related to physiological functions and pathological conditions in most organs. Although differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes have been used for in vitro adipose studies, the difference in cellular characteristics of adipogenic differentiation in two-dimensional (2D) culture and three-dimensional (3D) culture remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated gene expression patterns using RNA sequencing and metabolic functions using an extracellular flux analyzer in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes with and without adipogenic induction in 2D culture and 3D culture. In 2D culture, 565 up-regulated genes and 391 down-regulated genes were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by adipogenic induction of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, whereas only 69 up-regulated genes and 59 down-regulated genes were identified as DEGs in 3D culture. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed that genes associated with lipid metabolism were identified as 2 out of the top 3 causal networks related to diseases and function in 3D spheroids, whereas only one network related to lipid metabolism was identified within the top 9 of these causal networks in the 2D planar cells, suggesting that adipogenic induction in the 3D culture condition exhibits a more adipocyte-specific gene expression pattern in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Real-time metabolic analysis revealed that the metabolic capacity shifted from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells in the 3D culture condition but not in those in the 2D cultured condition, suggesting that adipogenic differentiation in 3D culture induces a metabolic phenotype of well-differentiated adipocytes. Consistently, expression levels of mitochondria-encoded genes including mt-Nd6, mt-Cytb, and mt-Co1 were significantly increased by adipogenic induction of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in 3D culture compared with those in 2D culture. Taken together, the findings suggest that induction of adipogenesis in 3D culture provides a more adipocyte-specific gene expression pattern and enhances mitochondrial respiration, resulting in more adipocyte-like cellular properties.
Project description:3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes using adipogenic differentiation media. Promoter Capture Hi-C at D0 (two days post confluency) and D7 of adipocyte differentiation was performed to analyse regulatory interactions.
Project description:To identify the genes that are regulated by IRF7, we have performed DNA microarray in 3T3-L1 adipocytes differentiated from precursor cells infected with retrovirus empty or carrying IRF7. Plasmids (Empty- and IRF7-pMSCV) were kindly provided from Dr. Eguchi at the Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Okayama, Japan [Cell Metab. 2008;7: 86-94.]. Infected 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were selected by puromycin treatment and differentiated into adipocytes. 7 days after the induction of adipogenesis, total RNA was isolated.
