ABSTRACT
Adipose tissue dysfunction is more related to insulin resistance than body mass index itself and an alteration in adipose tissue function is thought to underlie the shift from metabolically healthy to unhealthy obesity. Herein, we performed a clustering analysis that revealed distinct visceral adipose tissue gene expression patterns in patients with obesity at distinct stages of metabolic dysregulation. We have built a cross-sectional cohort that aims at reflecting the evolution of the metabolic sequelae of obesity with the main objective to map the sequential events that play a role in adipose tissue dysfunction from the metabolically healthy (insulin-sensitive) state to several incremental degrees of metabolic dysregulation, encompassing insulin resistance establishment, pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. We found that insulin resistance is mainly marked by the downregulation of adipose tissue vasculature remodeling-associated gene expression, suggesting that processes like angiogenesis and adaptative expansion/retraction ability suffer early dysregulation. Prediabetes was characterized by compensatory growth factor-dependent signaling and increased response to hypoxia, while type 2 diabetes was associated with loss of cellular response to insulin and hypoxia and concomitant upregulation of inflammatory markers. Our findings suggest a putative sequence of dysregulation of biological processes that is not linear and has multiple distinct phases across the metabolic dysregulation process, ultimately culminating in the climax of adipose tissue dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. Several studies have addressed the transcriptomic changes in adipose tissue of patients with obesity. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study unraveling the potential molecular mechanisms associated with the multi-step evolution of adipose tissue dysfunction along the metabolic sequelae of obesity.
