Obesity is a major risk factor for a large number of secondary diseases, including cancer. Specific insights into the role of gender differences and secondary comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer risk, are yet to be fully identified. The aim of this study is thus to find a correlation between the transcriptional deregulation present in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese patients and the oncogenic signature present in multiple cancers, in the presence of T2D, and considering gender differences. The subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of five healthy, normal-weight women, five obese women, five obese women with T2D and five obese men were subjected to RNA-sequencing, leading to the identification of deregulated coding and non-coding RNAs, classified for their oncogenic score. A panel of DE RNAs was validated via Real-Time PCR and oncogene expression levels correlated the oncogenes with anthropometrical parameters, highlighting significant trends. For each analyzed condition, we identified the deregulated pathways associated with cancer, the prediction of possible prognosis for different cancer types and the lncRNAs involved in oncogenic networks and tissues. Our results provided a comprehensive characterization of oncogenesis correlation in SAT, providing specific insights into the possible molecular targets implicated in this process. Indeed, the identification of deregulated oncogenes also in SAT highlights hypothetical targets implicated in the increased oncogenic risk in highly obese subjects. These results could shed light on new molecular targets to be specifically modulated in obesity and highlight which cancers should receive the most attention in terms of better prevention in obesity-affected patients.

The association between abdominal deposition of adipose tissue and morbidities accompanying obesity may be related to high rates of free fatty acid release from enlarged intra-abdominal stores. To investigate cellular mechanisms that might contribute to enlargement of intra-abdominal adipocytes, lipolysis, triacylglycerol (TG), and diacylglycerol (DG) synthesis from [14C]glucose was measured in abdominal subcutaneous, omental, and mesenteric adipose tissue from severely obese women and men. Subcutaneous adipose tissue from women showed the highest rates of TG synthesis compared with the intra-abdominal site, or any site in men. isoproterenol stimulated TG synthesis more in intra-abdominal than subcutaneous adipose tissue. In the basal state, intra-abdominal adipose tissue from both men and women showed rates of [14C]DG accumulation approximately 50% total [14C]acylglyceride accumulation, whereas, in subcutaneous adipose tissue, [14C]DG accumulation was approximately 25% of total. Basal lipolysis was lower in intra-abdominal than subcutaneous adipocytes. Stimulation of lipolysis reduced [14C]DG accumulation more in intra-abdominal than subcutaneous adipose tissue. Low rates of acylglyceride synthesis in intra-abdominal adipocytes may prevent accumulation of large intra-abdominal fat stores in women.

Distribution and elimination of cefamandole 2 g iv were studied in 11 morbidly obese patients during a gastric bypass operation and again on the first postoperative day. Serum, subcutaneous adipose tissue, wound drainage, and urine were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography for cefamandole and pharmacokinetic parameters from the intraoperative period were compared to those obtained postoperatively. Total body clearance was significantly greater (p < 0.001) postoperatively (297 ml/min) than intraoperatively (254 ml/min). Volume changes were unpredictable but the elimination rate constant tended to increase postoperatively. Renal clearance and percentage of urinary recovery were significantly increased (p < 0.01) postoperatively. The patients had a mean (± SD) volume of the central compartment of 10.3 (± 2.3) L, volume at steady state of 18.3 (± 3.9) L, and elimination rate constant of 1.67 (± 0.63) h−1. Tissue concentrations of cefamandole were highest during the first hour after drug administration and were < 1 μg/g after 3.5 hours. Mean wound drainage concentrations ranged between 10 and 12 μg/ml during a dosing interval and dropped to 7 μg/ml 12 hours after the last dose. Intraoperative dosing of cefamandole is required to maintain subcutaneous adipose tissue concentrations > 1 μg/g during procedures longer than three hours in morbidly obese patients. A postoperative dose of cefamandole 2 g iv q6h will provide sustained and therapeutic concentrations in the wound drainage of morbidly obese patients.
