Abstract

The altered functions of adipose tissue are one of the main issues in obesity. Bariatric surgery is associated with improvement of obesity associated comorbidities. Here DNA methylation remodeling in adipose tissue after bariatric surgery is examined. After six months postoperative, DNA methylation shows changes in 1155 CpG sites, 66 of these sites correlate with body mass index. Some sites also show correlation with LDL-C, HDL-C, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. CpG sites are located in genes that have not previously been linked to obesity or metabolic diseases. GNAS complex locus is one of those that presented CpG site with the greatest changes after surgery, and the most significant correlation with BMI and lipid profiles. These results show that epigenetic regulation may be involved in the alteration of adipose tissue functions in obesity.

Keywords: bariatric surgery; epigenetics; obesity.
