项目摘要

ABSTRACT The parenchymal cell of adipose tissue is the white adipocyte, which is now understood to be a dynamic and active participant in metabolic homeostasis. Adipocytes store and release energy as needed, they coordinate physiological functions throughout the body via the elaboration of “adipokines”, and they have associations with human disease traits. Understanding the diversity of human adipocytes has been challenging, because of the technical difficulties inherent in working with large, fragile cells. We have now used advanced single nuclear sequencing techniques to circumvent this issue, and have now identified seven distinct subpopulations of human white adipocytes. There are many questions remaining, including whether there are more subpopulations in different adipose depots, what their functions are, and how they develop. In this proposal we will address these issues using a combination of phenotyping modalities, combined with experimental manipulations of signaling molecules and transcription factors that are predicted to affect adipocyte subpopulation development and function. Furthermore, we will associate these subpopulations with human metabolic disease traits. Finally, a key deliverable of this proposal is a Human Adipose Tissue Knowledge Portal, which will assimilate the data generated here and integrate it with data from other groups, facilitating standardization of experimental protocols, data analysis, and nomenclature. The resulting database will be a community resource and the starting point for a new era of adipose tissue biology.

抽象的脂肪组织的实质细胞是白色脂肪细胞，现在被认为是一种动态的和代谢稳态的积极参与者。脂肪细胞根据需要储存和释放能量，它们通过“脂肪因子”的阐述来协调整个身体的生理功能，并且它们与人类疾病特征有关。了解人类脂肪细胞的多样性有助于由于处理大而脆弱的细胞固有的技术困难，这一直具有挑战性。我们现在已经使用先进的单核测序技术来规避这个问题，并且现在已经确定了人类白色脂肪细胞的七个不同亚群。还有很多疑问剩余的，包括不同脂肪库中是否有更多的亚群，他们的功能是什么，以及它们如何发展。在本提案中，我们将使用组合来解决这些问题表型分析模式，结合信号分子的实验操作和预计会影响脂肪细胞亚群发育和功能的转录因子。此外，我们还将这些亚群与人类代谢疾病特征联系起来。最后还有一把钥匙该提案的可交付成果是人类脂肪组织知识门户，它将吸收数据在这里生成并将其与其他组的数据集成，促进实验的标准化协议、数据分析和术语。由此产生的数据库将成为社区资源，并且脂肪组织生物学新时代的起点。
