Abstract
Fsp27 is a lipid droplet-associated protein almost exclusively expressed in adipocytes where it facilitates unilocular lipid droplet formation. In mice, Fsp27 deficiency is associated with increased basal lipolysis, browning of white fat and a healthy metabolic profile, whereas energetically challenged Fsp27 deficient mice (ob/ob/Fsp27−/−) show dramatically reduced fat mass, hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance which represents a typical lipodystrophy phenotype. Here, we investigate the effect of Fsp27 depletion on the gene expression of gonadal white adipose tissue (GWAT) under normal or energetically challenged condition (Fsp27−/− vs Wild type; ob/ob/Fsp27−/− vs ob/ob). We systematically analyzed the change in signaling pathway in Fsp27 deficient mice. The raw data have been deposited into Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO): GSE59807 and GSE22693.
