Expression of adipogenic transcription factors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1, IL-6 and CD45 in subcutaneous adipose tissue in lipodystrophy associated with highly active antiretroviral therapy

Abstract: Multiple alterations characterize gene expression in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with HAART-associated lipodystrophy compared with HIV-positive, HAART-treated patients without lipodystrophy. The low expression of transcription factors inhibits adipocyte differentiation. The low expression of PGC-1 may contribute to mitochondrial defects. In addition, IL-6 and CD45 expressions are increased, the latter implying an excessive number of cells of leukocyte origin in lipodystrophic adipose tissue. Mi… Show more

“…Atrophic adipose tissue contains poorly developed adipocytes and a marked alteration in gene expression [10]. It is likely that lipoatrophy leads to reduced gene expression of adiponectin.…”

“…Isolated RNA was stored at Ϫ80°C until quantification of the target mRNAs. A total of 0.1 g of RNA was transcribed into cDNA using Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK) and oligo(dT) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] primers.…”

“…Body fat was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry as described [28]. Subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat was measured by magnetic resonance imaging of 16 transaxial scans reaching from 8 cm above to 8 cm below the fourth and fifth lumbar interspace as described [23].…”

“…Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue biopsies taken by needle aspiration under local anaesthesia were homogenised in 2 ml RNA STAT-60 (Tel-Test, Friendswood, Tex., USA) and total RNA was isolated as described [23]. For cDNA synthesis we used 100 ng total RNA with M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK).…”
