Transcriptome and fatty-acid signatures of adipocyte hypertrophy and its non-invasive MR-based characterization in human adipose tissue
ABSTRACT Adipose tissue is an organ with great plasticity and its hypertrophic expansion is associated with adipocyte dysfunction. How changes in adipocyte morphology are linked to gene expression and which cellular functions are affected remains elusive. We show that adipocyte hypertrophy is associated with transcriptomic changes using RNA-Seq data obtained from adipose tissue and size-separated adipocytes. Genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, protein biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism were down-regulated in large adipocytes while genes involved in inflammation were upregulated. For mitochondrial function, a reduction in the expression of thermogenesis related genes and estimated brown/beige adipocyte content was observed in individuals with large adipocytes. As a novel finding the total adipose tissue fatty acid composition was dependent on cell size and depot. MR spectroscopy methods for clinical scanning were developed to characterize adipocyte size and fatty acid composition in a fast and non-invasive manner. Together, the present data provides mechanistic insights on how adipocyte hypertrophy contributes to the manifestation of metabolic disease at the molecular and cellular level. MR spectroscopy was identified as a promising technique for an in-parallel assessment of adipose morphology and fatty acid composition allowing to translate our findings into an improved, non-invasive phenotyping of adipose tissue..
