Key Points

  • T-cell signaling pathways and exhaustion are predominant in unhealthy adipose tissues.
  • The study utilized an unbiased clustering approach on transcript data to identify metabolic adaptations.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Transcript data from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT)
I
Intervention
Unbiased clustering approach and creation of continuous metabolic syndrome (MetS) scores
O
Outcome
Identification of predominant signaling pathways in metabolically unhealthy adaptationssurrogate

Transcriptomic analysis reveals that T-cell signaling and exhaustion are key features of metabolically unhealthy adaptations in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue.

Abstract

T-cell signaling and exhaustion predominate in metabolically unhealthy adaptations of both SAT and VAT. This novel handling of transcript data using an unbiased clustering approach and the creation of continuous MetS scores lead to new insights regarding adipose depot responses and T-cell biology.
