The effect of hypoxia on global gene expression in human adipocytes has been examined using DNA microarrays. Adipocytes (Zen-Bio, day 12 post-differentiation) were exposed to hypoxia (1% O-2) or 'normoxia' (21% O-2) for 24 h and extracted RNA probed with Agilent arrays containing 41,152 probes. A total of 1346 probes were differentially expressed (> 2.0-fold change, P < 0.01) in response to hypoxia; 650 genes were up-regulated (including LEP, IL6, VEGF, ANGPTL4) and 650 down-regulated (including ADIPOQ, UCP2). Major genes not previously identified as hypoxia-sensitive in adipocytes include AQP3, FABP3, FABP5 and PPARGC1A. Ingenuity analysis indicated that several pathways and functions were modulated by hypoxia, including glucose utilization, lipid oxidation and cell death. Network analysis indicated a down-regulation of p38/MAPK and PGC-1a signalling in the adipocytes. It is concluded that hypoxia has extensive effects on human adipocyte gene expression, consistent with low O-2 tension underlying adipose tissue dysfunction in obesity.
