Title |
Subcutaneous and omental white adipose tissue biopsies analysed from five obese patients |
Organism |
Homo sapiens |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by array
|
Summary |
The objective was to characterize differences in the secretome of human omental compared with subcutaneous adipose tissue using global gene expression profiling. Gene expression was measured using Affymetrix microarrays in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue (n=5 independent subjects; 10 arrays). Predictive bioinformatic algorithms were employed to identify those differentially expressed genes that code for secreted proteins and to identify common pathways between these proteins. The time course data was not included in the publication and has yet to be published. Patients undergoing surgery were weight stable one month prior to the operation and were not on any medication. All patients provided informed written consent before inclusion in the study which was approved by the North of Scotland Research Ethics Committee (NOSREC).

Overall design |
The subcutaneous and omental white adipose tissue biopsies were analysed from five obese patients (BMI 44.5 +/-10 kg/m2; age 42.7 +/- 10 years) who had fasted overnight. Subcutaneous and omental white adipose tissue biopsies were taken at the time of surgery for vertical banded gastroplasty from n=5 independent subjects who had fasted overnight. (10 arrays).
Further subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were taken at approximately four months post vertical banded gastroplasty surgery as the volunteers actively lost weight and at 12 months when the volunteers became weight stable (n=5 independent subjects, three time points 0, 4, and 12 months; 15 arrays). Therefore we report on 20 arrays in total including the arrays used to analyse the omental adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue samples were obtained within 5 minutes of the tissue being extracted from the patients and frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen. Subjects had fasted overnight prior to surgery. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Lipid tissue mini kit followed by incubation with RNase free DNase (Qiagen, Crawley, West Sussex) for DNA-free RNA, following the manufacturer's instructions (Qiagen, Crawley, West Sussex). RNA was quantified on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyser (Agilent Technologies, South Queensferry, West Lothian). This also shows the quality of the RNA extracted from the tissues. Only RNA showing no degradation (RIN greater than 9.0) was processed further. The DNA-free RNA from the subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue samples from the patients was then sent to a commercial company for analyses. The RNA from five volunteers (20 arrays ) was fragmented and hybridised to custom Human NuGo (Nutrigenomics; http://www.nugo.org/everyone/35788) Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) gene chips HS 1a520180 following the Affymetrix protocol by Service XS (Leiden, The Netherlands). Briefly, the Affymetrix one-cycle target labelling and control reagents were used to synthesize Biotin-labelled cRNA. The concentration of the cRNA was measured using a Nanodrop (Thermoscientific) and Agilent bioanalyser to rule out the possibility that only very short cRNA products were formed. This could have caused a 3’-5’ bias and influenced the data analysis. Approximately 20µg cRNA was used for further fragmentation and finally 10µg was used for the hybridisations. The Affymetrix protocols were followed for the hybridisations, washing, staining and scanning of the chips
