Project description:In the present study, we sought to understand the impact of bariatric surgery [using vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG)] on transcriptome changes in the placenta . Female Adult, Long Evans were fed high fat diet (HFD, #D03082706, Research Diets) for 4 weeks, divided into sham-VSG or VSG groups, and following surgeries one group of sham-VSG and VSG were switched to normal diet (lean), while one sham-VSG group (obese) continued HFD. At gestdational day 18, placenta tissues harvested from pregnant female rats were processed for Affymetrix microarray and transcriptomic analysis performed.
Project description:We aimed to characterize bariatric surgery-induced transcriptome changes associated with diabetes remission and the predictive role of the baseline transcriptome.
Project description:Low-grade chronic inflammation plays an important role in the development of obesity and obesity-associated disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. One possible link between obesity and inflammation is the enhanced activation of circulating monocytes making them more prone to infiltration into the adipose and vascular tissues of obese persons. Furthermore, weight loss after bariatric surgery is associated with less inflammation. Transcriptome analysis of circulating monocytes from control and obese patients before and after bariatric surgery will potentially provide insights into the pathophysiology of obesity and associated disorders and supply biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. The cohort comprised 6 lean age-matched controls (BMI: 20.3±0.5 kg/m2, mean±SEM) and 18 obese individuals without clinical symptoms of cardiovascular disease (BMI: 45.1±1.4 kg/m2, P<0.001 compared with lean controls). These 18 morbidly obese subjects were referred to our hospital for bariatric surgery. Before they were included, individuals were evaluated by an endocrinologist, an abdominal surgeon, a psychologist and a dietician. Only after multidisciplinary deliberation, the selected patients received a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. CD14+ monocytes were collected before and three months after bariatric surgery (BMI: 37.5±1.3 kg/m2, P<0.001 compared with before weight loss), total RNA was extracted and subjected to genome-wide expression analysis. Samples consisted of CD14+ monocytes from 6 lean controls and 18 morbidly obese patients before and three months after bariatric surgery. The 6 lean controls were also used to make 6 control pools.
Project description:Genome-wide expression profiles in peripheral monocytes (PM) from 19 obese women before and 3 months after bariatric surgery using the RNA-seq technology. This dataset is linked to the dataset GSE65540 providing expression profiles in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in the same population. Due to exclusion of some individuals for technical reasons, the overlap between the 2 datasets is of 18 women. mRNA sequencing of peripheral monocyte (PM) samples from 19 obese women before and 3 months after bariatric surgery
