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.
Project description:Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were harvested from subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with obesity or healthy controls and expanded for 3-4 passages, and 5hmC profiles were examined through hydroxymethylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (hMeDIP-seq). We hypothesized that obesity and cardiovascular risk factors induce functionally-relevant, locus-specific changes in overall exonic coverage of 5hmC in human adipose-derived MSCs.
Project description:Lean polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women have a greater proportion of android (abdominal) fat, increased numbers of small subcutaneous (SC) abdominal adipocytes and preferential intra-abdominal fat accumulation. This study examines whether abnormal gene expression of SC abdominal adipose stem cells (ASCs) from lean PCOS women underlies this altered abdominal adipose structure-function. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from PCOS and NL subcutaneous adipose tissue. Differential expression of at least 1.5-fold change (P<0.05) were obtained in 120 genes (48 upregulated, 72 downregulated) of SC abdominal ASCs from PCOS versus NL women
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:Total RNA obtained from human fasted subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (FAT) was used to measure genome-wide gene expression. Expression values which were significantly present were standardized by quantile normalization and correlated with clinical data.
Project description:Comparison of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue before and after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), and versus subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue from lean, healthy subjects undergoing hernia repair surgery
