Project description:We want to analyse on a broad level the difference of gene expression in the adipose tissue between high fat fed sgp130Fc Transgenic which have no IL6 transsignalling and the IL6 knockout which have no IL6 signalling at all. Because the sgp130Tg mice show a marked adipogenic phenotype we want to compare it with the IL6 KO. Total RNA extracted from flash frozen adipose tissue from obese, 5hr-fasted mice.

Project description:Adipose tissue plays an important role in storing excess nutrients and preventing ectopic lipid accumulation in other organs. Obesity leads to excess lipid storage in adipocytes, resulting in the generation of stress signals and the derangement of metabolic functions. SIRT1 is an important regulatory sensor of nutrient availability in many metabolic tissues. Here we report that SIRT1 functions in adipose tissue to protect from the development of inflammation and obesity under normal feeding conditions, and the progression to metabolic dysfunction under dietary stress. Genetic ablation of SIRT1 from adipose tissue leads to gene expression changes that highly overlap with changes induced by high fat diet in wild type mice, suggesting that dietary stress signals inhibit the activity of SIRT1. Indeed, we show that high fat diet induces the cleavage of SIRT1 in adipose tissue by the inflammation-activated caspase-1, providing a link between dietary stress and predisposition to metabolic dysfunction. Four replicates from four different biological conditions: 1) SIRT1 wild-type fed low fat diet, 2) SIRT1 wild-type fed high fat diet, 3) SIRT1 knock-out fed low fat diet, 4) SIRT1 knock-out fed high fat diet
Project description:To explore how Mier1 affiects high-fat diet-fed, aging and adipose tissue Lipe knockout mice liver regeneration, we specifically knocked out liver Mier1 in high-fat diet-fed, aging and adipose tissue Lipe knockout mice through adeno-associated virus (AAV). The mice we used were knocked in a Cre-induced Cas9 expression cassette. Through tail vein injection, we delivered the AAV expressing Cre-recombinase under TBG promoter, and sgRNA targeting Mier1 (AAV-Mier1 sgRNA), into the adult Cas9 knockin mice to knock out the Mier1 gene in liver. AAV vectors with no sgRNA inserted (AAV-Cre) were used in control animals. To assess the role of MIER1 in liver regeneration, we performed 70% partial hepatectomy on high-fat diet-fed, aging and adipose tissue Lipe knockout mice. We then performed RNA sequencing analysis on liver tissues collected from control and Mier1 ko groups at 0 h, 48h or 36 h after partial hepatectomy. RNA-seq analysis showed that after partial hepatectomy, MIER1 loss caused significant upregulation of genes enriched in cell proliferation relevant pathways.
Project description:SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase. SIRT1 plays key roles in metabolic regulation and adaptation. In this study, we wanted to compare gene expression profile in SIRT1 overexpressing mice to WT mice submitted to different intervention (caloric restriction and exercise training) in different tissues (liver, skeletal muscle, brown and white adipose tissues). SIRT1 transgenic model has already been described (Pfluger et al., 2008). Here we used homozygote transgenic mice which had been backcrossed to C57Bl/6N background. 3 months old WT and SIRT1tg mice were fed with a low fat diet. After sacrifice, total mRNA obtained from brown adipose were used for microarray. Caloric restriction (CR) : everyother day feeding during 3 months Exercise training (EX) : mice were housed in running wheel cages during 10 weeks
Project description:The aim was to compare the global gene expression of epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of WT and Irx5-KO mice. Mice 10 weeks of age were fed a high-fat diet for 10 weeks before eWAT was dissected out, RNA extracted and microarray performed
Project description:SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase. SIRT1 plays key roles in metabolic regulation and adaptation. In this study, we examined the difference of gene expression in brown adipose tissue from WT and SIRT1tg mice. SIRT1 transgenic model (heterozygous transgenic model) has already been described (Pfluger et al., 2008). Here we used homozygote transgenic mice which had been backcrossed to C57Bl/6N background. 3 months old WT and SIRT1tg mice were fed with a low fat diet. After sacrifice, total mRNA obtained from brown adipose were used for microarray.
Project description:The epididymal adipose tissue (eWAT) samples from wild type mice fed high-fat diet for 12 weeks (H_WT_E) and Mdm2 adipocyte-specific knock-in mice fed high-fat diet for 12 weeks (H_KI_E) were mixed separately, and subjected to proteomic study by Label-free quantitative techniques and mass spectrometry-based proteomics techniques, etc. The proteomics of mixed eWAT samples were performed in Jingjie PTM BioLab (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd (www.ptm-biolab.com.cn). The difference was determined by 1.5-fold-change criterion, FDR < 0.01.
Project description:We identified differentially expressed genes in epididymal white adipose tissue of high fat diet(HFD)-fed mice compared to low fat diet-fed mice using microarray analysis. Microarray analysis revealed that genes related to lipolysis, fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial energy transduction, oxidation-reduction, insulin sensitivity, and skeletal system development were downregulated in HFD-fed mice, and genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) components, ECM remodeling, and inflammation were upregulated. The top 10 up- or downregulated genes include Acsm3, mt-Nd6, Fam13a, Cyp2e1, Rgs1, and Gpnmb, whose roles in obesity-associated adipose tissue deterioration are poorly understood. Total RNA of epididymal white adipose tissue was obtained from low fat diet (10 kcal% fat)- and high fat diet(45 kcal% fat)-fed mice and mRNA expression was measured using microarray analysis.
