PreadProfiler: Multilayer-omic Analysis of Adipose Tissue Progenitor Cell Heterogeneity

Adipose Progenitor Heterogeneity: A Tale of two Depots


Adipocyte precursor cells (APCs) reside, in part, in the adipose tissue vasculature as a subset of PDGFRb+ perivascular mesenchymal cells. Single-cell RNA-sequencing as revealed the functional and molecular heterogeneity of these cells in anatomically distinct WAT depots.

The PreadProfiler is a comprehensive and integrated dataset developed by the Wu Lab and Gupta Lab that provides the transcriptomic and proteomic profile of murine PDGFRb+ adipose tissue progenitors at three levels:

  • Cell subpopulation (four functionally distinct subpopulations)
  • localization (intraabdominal and subcutaneous adipose depots)
  • Sex (male and female mice).

15,477 transcripts quantified by RNA-seq
4,870 proteins quantified by DIA Mass Spectrometry
4,540 genes represented at both the protein and mRNA level
