N2 - Obesity is characterized by white adipose tissue (WAT) expansion which contributes to chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Two main types of adipose tissue are WAT (subcutaneous, SAT and visceral adipose tissue, VAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). These exhibit anatomical, physiological and metabolic differences that contributes to energy balance, metabolic regulation and immunity. Our aim was to compare transcriptomic and microRNA (miRNA) signatures of SAT, VAT and BAT to gain mechanistic insight into the role of these depots in metabolic disorders. We performed RNA-sequencing and miRNA profiling of SAT, VAT and BAT depots from diet-induced obese C57BL/6J male mice fed high fat diets (45% kcal fat). We used a transcriptomic approach to dissect adipose depot-specific genetic and functional signatures in obesity. RNA sequencing was performed using Illumina Hi-Seq and differential gene expression was studied by pair wise comparisons of fat depots. Functional an
