Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Cell-cell communication analysis of SAA signaling pathway for the indicated depots and cells. Line colors and widths represent the sending cell and the strength of the signal, respectively. (B) Pseudobulk comparison of differentially expressed genes in epiploic vs. subcutaneous depots, highlighting the indicated signaling pathways. (C) Expression of SAA1 mRNA upon stimulation with LPS (10 ng/mL), TNF-α (2.5 ng/mL), IL-1β (10 ng/mL), or IL-6 (10 ng/mL) for 24 h. Data are presented as fold change (FC) over vehicle. Significant (<0.05) p values compared with the vehicle from one-way ANOVA are shown. (D) Relative expression of SAA1 (left) and SAA2 (right) mRNA in adipocytes, ASPCs, adipose-derived endothelial cells (adECs), and THP1-derived macrophages (THP1 M0). Significant (<0.05) p values compared with the cell-type-specific control from one-way ANOVA are shown. (E) Results from ELISA measurements of SAA in conditioned media from human adipocytes incubated without or with LPS for 72 h. Results are displayed as mean, error bars represent standard error of the mean, and statistical significance was calculated using Student’s t test. (F) Analyses of DNA methylation in the indicated cell classes for the promoter and gene body regions of SAA1 and SAA2 , respectively. Chromosomal localization and motifs for NFKB2/RELA/REL and STAT3 are indicated for both genes. (G) SAA1 and SAA2 mRNA expression in adipocytes treated with or without LPS in the presence or absence of different inhibitors described in the main text. Data are presented as FC over vehicle. Significant (<0.05) p values compared with the vehicle from one-way ANOVA are shown. For (C), (D), and (G), data are displayed as geometric mean ± 95% confidence intervals with technical replicates displayed from three independent experiments. ASPC, adipose stromal and progenitor cell.
