Project description:The goal of this study was to define the gene expression changes that take place in the white adipose tissue of KSR2-/- mice at 6 months of age. Three wild type mice and three KSR2-/- mice were used for total RNA extraction from white adipose tissue. The RNA from each mouse was analyzed on one Affymetrix gene chip and the differences were compared using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis.
Project description:The aim was to study the effects of Nur77 on the white adipose tissue transcriptome after fasting. For this purpose we performed gene expression profiling of white adipose tissue from Nur77-/- mice and wildtype (Nur77+/+) littermates submitted to prolonged fasting using microarray analysis on >27k elements cDNA microarrays.

Project description:Transcript profiling to identify genes where the mRNA expression levels are differentially regulated in white adipose tissue of transgenic mice overexpressing the FOXC2 gene compared with adipose tissue of wild-type mice.
Project description:Differentiation of brown adipocytes is a crucial process for adaptive thermogenesis, which is stimulated by various factors. We found robust browning of inguinal white adipose tissue in UCP1/ApoE-DKO mice, but not in ApoE-KO mice, under high-fat diet condition. We used microarray to determine the genes specifically regulated in the browning white adipose tissue in UCP1/ApoE-DKO mice.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify genes expressed selectively in brown adipose tissue as compared to white adipose tissue from the same animals. This analysis provides a gene set that is brown and white adipose selective. Keywords: tissue comparison from mice
Project description:Cold exposure imposes a metabolic challenge to mammals that must be met by a coordinated repsonse in different tissues to prevent hypothermia. This study reports analysis of transcriptome profiles in brown adipose tissue, liver, white adipose of mice in repsonse to 24 hour cold exposure Total RNA was extracted from brown adipose, whie adipose and liver from cold treated and control plants. 3 replicates of brown adipose and white adipose and 2 replicates of liver samples.
Project description:The popularity of high fat foods in modern society has been associated with epidemic of various metabolic diseases characterized by insulin resistance, the pathology of which involves complex interactions between multiple tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue (WAT). To uncover the mechanism by which excessive fat impairs insulin sensitivity, we conducted a multi- tissue study by using TMT-based quantitative proteomics. 3-week-old ICR mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 19 weeks to induce insulin resistance. Liver, skeletal muscle and epididymal fat were collected for proteomics screening. Additionally, PRM was used for validating adipose differential proteins. By comparing tissue-specific protein profiles of HFD mice, multi-tissue regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis and corresponding underlying mechanisms was systematically investigated and characterized.
