ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study was to identify the transcriptional landscape of insulin resistance (IR) in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in humans across the spectrum of obesity.METHODS:
We used SAT RNA sequencing in 220 individuals with metabolic phenotyping.RESULTS:
We identified a 35-gene signature with high predictive accuracy for homeostatic model of IR that was expressed across a variety of non-immune cell populations. We observed primarily "protective" IR associations for adipocyte transcripts and "deleterious" associations for macrophage transcripts, as well as a high concordance between SAT and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Multiple SAT genes exhibited dynamic expression 5 years after weight loss surgery and with insulin stimulation. Using available expression quantitative trait loci in SAT and/or VAT, we demonstrated similar genetic effect sizes of SAT and VAT on type 2 diabetes and BMI.CONCLUSIONS:
SAT is conventionally viewed as a metabolic buffer for lipid deposition during positive energy balance, whereas VAT is viewed as a dominant contributor to and prime mediator of IR and cardiometabolic disease risk. Our results implicate a dynamic transcriptional architecture of IR that resides in both immune and non-immune populations in SAT and is shared with VAT, nuancing the current VAT-centric concept of IR in humans.
