Adipo-Clear: A Tissue Clearing Method for Three-Dimensional Imaging of Adipose Tissue

28.8K
Due to the high lipid content, adipose tissue has been challenging to visualize using traditional histological methods. Adipo-Clear is a tissue clearing technique that allows robust labeling and high-resolution volumetric fluorescent imaging of adipose tissue. Here, we describe the methods for sample preparation, pretreatment, staining, clearing, and mounting for...

Isolation of Adipose Tissue Immune Cells

37.1K
Adipose tissue (AT) is a site of intense immune cell activation and interaction. Almost all cells of the immune system are present in AT and their ratios are altered by obesity. Proper isolation, quantification, and characterization of AT immune cell populations are critical for understanding their role in immunometabolic...

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Metabolism
  • Obesity Research

Background:

  • Increasing obesity rates correlate with white adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction and a proinflammatory phenotype.
  • Adipose tissue hypoxia is a proposed mechanism for WAT dysfunction, but in vivo human data are limited.
  • Previous studies on human adipose tissue oxygenation (pO2) and hypoxia markers in lean and obese subjects yielded inconsistent findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the functional consequences of human adipose tissue hypoxia in vivo.
  • To define a
  • To discuss various methodologies for assessing adipose tissue hypoxia in humans.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of direct assessment of tissue oxygen tension (pO2).
  • Investigation of hypoxia-sensitive gene/protein expression.
  • Utilizing integrative physiological techniques to analyze metabolic signatures.

Main Results:

  • Limited in vivo human data currently exist to confirm adipose tissue hypoxia as a driver of dysfunction.
  • Inconsistent findings from previous studies highlight the challenges in measuring human adipose tissue oxygenation.
  • Metabolic signature analysis offers a potential avenue to understand the functional impact of hypoxia.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to elucidate the role of adipose tissue hypoxia in human obesity and metabolic dysfunction.
  • Integrative physiological approaches are crucial for accurately defining and understanding adipose tissue hypoxia in vivo.
  • Investigating the metabolic signature provides a functional readout for assessing hypoxia's impact on adipose tissue.
