Project description:Adipose tissue stromal cells contribute to the regulation of adipose tissue in lean and obese states. Myeloid cells such as adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) and dendritic cells (ATDCs) undergo both quantitative and qualitative changes with obesity. Due to similarity in markers the identify of adipose tissue dendritic cells and macrophages has been elusive. We have refined prior protocols to unambiguously discern ATM and ATDC in mice. We used microarrays to compare the profiles of ATMs and ATDC from gonadal adipose tissue from lean, obese, and formerly obese mice. We also isolated preadipocytes (PA) from lean and obese mice for comparison. Male C57Bl/6 mice were fed normal diet (ND) or high fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks. Weight loss (WL) mice were switched from the HFD to ND for 8 weeks. RNA was purified from FACS sorted cell populations (live cells only) obtained from gonadal/epididymal adipose tissue depots. ATMs were defined as CD11c+ (CD45+CD64+ CD11c+) or CD11c- (CD45+CD64+ CD11c-) ATMs. ATDC were defined as CD64- CD11c+. PA were defined as CD31- CD45- Sca1+ PDGFRA+.
Project description:We report the single cell sequencing data from subcutaneous adipose tissue CD29+ stromal cells (mesenchymal stem cells). Subcutaneous adipose tissue was collected from a mouse model of obesity and breast cancer anti-estrogen therapy. Lean and obese mice were ovariectomized, supplemented with estradiol, then maintained on estradiol, given tamoxifen, or estradiol was withdrawn for 7 weeks.
Project description:In mammals, expansion of adipose tissue mass induces accumulation of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs). We isolated CD11c- (FB) and CD11c+ (FBC) perigonadal ATMs from SVCs of lean (C57BL/6J Lep +/+) and obese leptin-deficient (C57BL/6J Lep ob/ob) mice. We used expression microarrays to generate transcription profiles of perigonadal ATMs from lean (C57BL/6J Lep +/+) and obese (C57BL/6J Lep ob/ob) mice. Profiling purified FBs and FBCs, we identified 521 transcripts whose expression was differentially (nominal p-value < 0.01) expressed between FBs from lean and obese mice and 1509 genes whose expression was differentially (nominal p-value <0.01) expressed between FBC from lean and obese mice RNA was isolated from sorted FBC (F4/80+, CD11b+, CD11c+) cells and FB ( F4/80+, CD11b+, CD11c-) cells and using RNeasy micro-kits (Qiagen), using a PicoPure RNA isolation kit then amplified two-rounds. Labeled cRNA Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (purified FB and FBC adipose tissue macrophages. There was a total of sixteen samples. FB and FBC populations were isolated from 4 lean and 4 obese mice.
