Project description:In humans, adipose tissue is distributed in subcutaneous abdominal and subcutaneous gluteal depots that comprise a variety of functional differences. Whereas energy storage in gluteal adipose tissue has been shown to mediate a protective effect, an increase of abdominal adipose tissue is associated with metabolic disorders. However, the molecular basis of depot-specific characteristics is not completely understood yet. Using array-based analyses of transcription profiles, we identified a specific set of genes that was differentially expressed between subcutaneous abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue. To investigate the role of epigenetic regulation in depot-specific gene expression, we additionally analyzed genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in abdominal and gluteal depots. By combining both data sets, we identified a highly significant set of depot-specifically expressed genes that appear to be epigenetically regulated. Interestingly, the majority of these genes form part of the homeobox gene family. Moreover, genes involved in fatty acid metabolism were also differentially expressed. Therefore we suppose that changes in gene expression profiles might account for depot-specific differences in lipid composition. Indeed, triglycerides and fatty acids of abdominal adipose tissue were more saturated compared to triglycerides and fatty acids in gluteal adipose tissue. Taken together, our results uncover clear differences between abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue on the gene expression and DNA methylation level as well as in fatty acid composition. Therefore, a detailed molecular characterization of adipose tissue depots will be essential to develop new treatment strategies for metabolic syndrome associated complications. DNA methylation profiles of abdominal adipose tissue (6 samples) and gluteal adipose tissue (6 samples) were generated using Infinium methylation 450K BeadChips from Illumina (Illumina, San Diego, USA).

Project description:To identify genes differentially expressed in abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue, we determined the mRNA transcription profile of 10 abdominal and 10 gluteal female adipose tissue sections using Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays. RNA of 10 subcutaneous abdominal and 10 subcutaneous gluteal fat depot samples was processed by Miltenyi Biotech GmbH (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and loaded on single-color Whole Human Genome 4x44K microarrays (G4112F) from Agilent Technologies.

Project description:Objective: Abdominal adiposity is strongly associated with diabetic and cardiovascular comorbidities. The long non-coding RNA HOTAIR (HOX Transcript Antisense Intergenic RNA) is an important epigenetic regulator, with fat depot-specific expression between abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and gluteal SAT. HOTAIR locates closely with HOXC13, known to strongly associated with human fat distribution. Here, we examined the phenotypic effects of HOTAIR overexpression on abdominal adipogenesis, and hypothesized that HOTAIR-mediated DNA methylation is correlated with transcriptome changes, leading to the regulation of specific genes and the functional pathways. Methods: The expression level of HOTAIR was compared among different fat-depots collected from six healthy, five severe obese, and five uremic subjects, and was correlated with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) defined regional adiposity. The human immortalized preadipocyte was used to assess the phenotypic effects of HOTAIR overexpression on abdominal adipogenesis. The integrative analysis of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and RNA-sequencing was performed to identify putative genes that are epigenetically regulated by HOTAIR, and the associated signaling pathways. HOTAIR-repressed genes were further validated using RNA/chromatin immunoprecipitation with real-time qPCR and correlated with human body fat distribution. Results: We found that the expression of HOTAIR was high in gluteal SAT, and low in arm/abdominal SAT and visceral (omental) adipose tissue. It could be aberrantly increased in uremic arm SAT. Notably, in severe obese subjects we found that HOTAIR is lowly expressed in abdominal SAT correlating with a higher abdominal adiposity, whereas in uremic patients HOTAIR is highly expressed in arm SAT correlating with lower arm adiposity. HOTAIR overexpression in human immortalized abdominal preadipocyte remarkably suppresses the in vitro adipogenesis. Overall the differentially methylated genes were functionally enriched for nervous system development. We specifically identified 10 HOTAIR-mediated genes showing strong changes of DNA methylation associated with gene expression during abdominal adipogenesis, suggesting potential epigenetic regulation. Two HOTAIR-repressed genes, SLITRK4 and PITPNC1, were further highlighted and validated; presenting an obesity-driven fat-depot specific expression pattern positively correlated with the central body fat distribution. Conclusions: Our study indicated that HOTAIR is an important regulator for abdominal adipogenesis via intricate DNA methylation likely to associate with transcriptional regulation of specific genes, such as SLITRK4 and PITPNC1.

Project description:Previous publications demonstrated that there were anatomical, physiological, cellular, clinical and prognostic differences among adipose tissue present in subcutaneous areas, abdominal cavity and outside adventitial layer of artery. Thus, we wondered whether ASCs from subcutaneous adipose tissue, abdominal adipose tissue and perivascular adipose tissue were also different in gene expression. Here we performed bulk RNA-Seq assay for subcutaneous, abdominal and perivascular adipose derived stem cells.
