Human omental adipose tissue as a key site for the inflammatory 15-lipoxygenase pathway: Implications for metabolic disease

Hill Margaret J , McTernan Philip G , da Silva Nancy F , McGee Kirsty C , Kusminski Christine M , Baker Adam R , Kumar Sudhesh , Harte Alison L

Materials and methods: Paired AbSc and Om AT were collected from patients undergoing elective liposuction surgery (Age; 45±1.72 years; lean BMI; 22.91±0.56 kg/m2; obese BMI; 33.51±1.04 kg/m2; n=23) for gene expression analysis by microarray and real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fasted blood was taken to measure metabolic parameters.Results: Microarray data showed that Om AT had signi...

Reduced telomere length, a marker of biological senescence, is inversely correlated with triglycerides and cholesterol in South Asian male type 2 diabetic patients

da Silva Nancy F , Hill Margaret J , Miller Michelle A , Cappuccio Francesco P , Kelly Marilynn A , O’Hare Joseph P , Barnett Anthony H , McTernan Philip G , Kumar Sudhesh

South Asian people have a lower threshold for obesity related complications than Caucasians and as a result have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) for a given BMI. Premature biological ageing, assessed by reduction in telomere length (TL), may be mediated by factors resulting from altered metabolic profiles associated with obesity and insulin resistance. We therefore hypothesised that IR is associated with altered metabolic profiles and t...

Mitochondrial genes related to energy homoeostasis are dysregulated in obesity and type 2 diabetes in human adipose tissue

McGee Kirsty C , Hardo Faddy J , Baker Adam R , Tripathi Gyanendra , Creely Steven J , da Silva Nancy F , Kumar Sudhesh , Clapham John C , McTernan Philip G

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Recent research has investigated the role of mitochondria in skeletal muscle and suggesting mitochondrial dysregulation may be linked to T2DM. To date few studies have focused on the role of human adipose tissue (AT) in energy homoeostasis. Therefore we investigated a number of mitochondrial genes including PPARγ co-activator1 (PGC1α, mitochondrial biogen...

Comparsion of the NFκB and JNK mediated inflammatory mechanisms for production of adipocytokines in paired human epicardial and gluteo-femoral adipose tissue from CABG patients

Baker Adam R , Harte Alison L , da Silva Nancy F , Hill Margaret J , Ranasinghe Aaron , Khunti Kamlesh , Davies Melanie J , Pagano Dominico , Bonser Robert , Kumar Sudhesh , McTernan Philip G

Adipose tissue (AT) distribution impacts directly on type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk, however few studies have investigated the site-specific nature of human epicardial AT compared with gluteo-femoral (thigh) fat. Our recent studies have implicated epicardial AT as an important source of pro-inflammatory cytokines which may impact on myocardial function. Therefore the aim of this study was, using matched paired epicardial AT and gluteo-femoral (thigh) AT from p...

Depot-specific activity of NFκB and JNK in human abdominal subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue

da Silva Nancy F , Fowler Anne E , Harte Alison L , Baker Adam R , Kusminski Christine M , Creely Steven J , Starcynski Jane , O’Hare Joseph P , Kumar Sudhesh , McTernan Philip G

Central obesity is strongly associated with sub-clinical inflammation, insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the intracellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of central obesity remain unclear. Recent studies have implicated NFκB and c-jun N terminal kinase (JNK) as central molecules linking insulin action and inflammation in mice. As such we examined (1) the inflammatory intracellular signaling pathways involving NFκB, JNK as a pot...
