Differential gene expression in omental adipose tissue from obese children (GSE9624) Aguilera García, Concepción María Tofe, Inés Suárez, Antonio Gómez Llorente, Carolina Cañete, Ramón Gil Hernández, Ángel Dataset Animals Chordates Humans Mammals Primates Vertebrates Hominidae Homo sapiens [Organism] Homo sapiens [Experiment type] Expression profiling by array [Overall design] Adipose tissue and blood samples were obtained from 27 children, 14 obese (BMI adjusted for age and sex z score > 2) and 13 non obese undergoing appendix surgery. About 400 mg of adipose tissue was taken and immediately immersed in RNAlater solution and stored at -80°C for gene expression analysis. Informed consent was obtained from all patients after the nature of the study was explained, and the experimental design was approved, from an ethical and scientific standpoint, by the Hospital’s Ethical Committee responsible for research.

Differential gene expression in the adipose tissue has been described in adulthood but none studies have been developed on childhood. The purpose of this study was to compare gene expression in omental adipose tissue from obese prepubertal and normal weight children. We selected 5 obese (BMI adjusted for age and sex z score >2) and 6 normal weight children. RNA was extracted from omental adipose tissue biopsies and cRNA was hybridizated on the human genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix®). Microarray experiments were performed for each sample, and selected group of gene expression values were confirmed with real-time RT-PCR in 10 obese and 10 normal weigth prepubertal children. 1276 genes were found to be differentially expressed at P<0.05. Of those differential genes, 201 were upregulated (Fc>2) and 42 were downregulated (Fc<-2). Genes involved in metabolic and signalling pathways were altered in childhood obesity.
