Project description:To study the satellite cell transcriptome in obese and lean mice, we FACS-sorted satellite cells from the muscles of mice on high fat and chow diets, extracted RNA and performed RNA sequencing
Project description:High fat diets (HFDs) are linked to several diseases including obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in both mouse and humans. RNA-seq from male mice (C57BL/6N) fed Vivarium Chow (VIV) or any one of three high fat diets (40% kcal fat) (SO+CO, PL+CO, CO) for 24 weeks was performed on four segments of the intestinal tract (Duodenum, Jejunum, Terminal Ileum and Proximal Colon).
Project description:De novo lipogenesis (DNL) has been implicated in the development and progression of hepatic liver steatosis. Hepatic DNL is strongly influenced by dietary macronutrient composition with diets high in carbohydrate increasing DNL and diets high in fat decreasing DNL. The enzymes in the core DNL pathway have been well characterised however less is known about proteins that play accessory or regulatory roles in DNL. In the current study, we associate measured rates of hepatic DNL and liver fat content with abundance of liver proteins from liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in mice to identify known and uncharacterised proteins that may have a role in DNL. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed either a standard chow diet a semi-purified high starch diet or a high fat diet. Both semi-purified diets resulted in increased body weight, fat mass and liver triglyceride content compared to chow-fed mice while hepatic DNL was increased in the high starch fed mice and decreased in the high fat fed mice. Proteomic analysis was carried out on the livers of these mice and proteins were identified that associated with either the rate of DNL or triglyceride content in the liver. There was no overlap between DNL and triglyceride associated proteins. We identify novel proteins associated with DNL that are involved in taurine metabolism, which suggests a link between these pathways. Further analysis identified proteins that are differentially regulated when comparing a non-purified chow diet to either of the semi-purified diets to provide a set of proteins that are regulated by the degree of dietary complexity alone. Finally, we compared the liver proteome between 4 week-fed and 30-week diet-fed mice and found remarkable similarity suggesting that the majority of diet-regulated proteins change early in response to differing dietary components.

Project description:Transcript data from quadriceps skeletal muscle from fasted-state male BXD strains on Quadriceps, Chow or Quadriceps, High fat diet We used microarrays to compare the skeletal muscle expression differences across males in the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
Project description:Transcript data from subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) from fasted-state male BXD strains on chow or high fat diet We used microarrays to compare the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) expression differences across the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
Project description:In order to identify gene expression patterns that vary with diet, genetics, and their interaction, we performed expression profiling by RNA-Seq across four different tissues (liver, gonadal fat, soleus muscle, and pancreas) of TALLYHO/Jng (TH) and C57BL/6J (B6) male (M) and female (F) mice, fed either a chow or high fat (HF) diet at 5 weeks and 20 weeks of age.
Project description:Most commonly used models of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are diets based on specific gene knockouts or represent extreme manipulations of diet. We have examined the effects of modest increased caloric intake and high dietary unsaturated fat content on the development of NASH in male rats using a model in which overfeeding is accomplished via intragastric infusion of liquid diets as a part of total enteral nutrition. Male Sprague dawley rats were fed diets 5% corn oil containing diets at 187 Kcal/kg3/4/d or fed 70% corn oil containing diets at 220 Kcal/kg3/4/d for a period of 3 weeks. Hepatic gene expression were assessed at the end of the study. Our results indicate that overfeeding of high unsaturated fat diets leads to pathological, endocrine and metabolic changes characteristic of NASH patients and is associated with increased oxidative stress and TNF-a.

Project description:Transcript data from livers from fasted-state BXD strains on chow or high fat diet We used microarrays to compare the hepatic expression differences across the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets 29-week-old male mice were fasted overnight (6pm-9am), anesthetized under isoflurane, and perfused, then livers were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction and RNEasy cleanup. Each dietary and strain cohort consisted of ~5 animals which were prepared independently then pooled evenly by M-BM-5g RNA before the Affymetrix arrays were run.
