BACKGROUND: Obesity is a global health challenge and adipose tissue exhibits distinct depot-specific characteristics impacting differentially on the risk of metabolic comorbidities. METHODS: Here, we integrate chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) and gene expression (RNA-seq) data from intra-individually paired human subcutaneous (SAT) and omental visceral adipose tissue (OVAT) samples to unveil depot-specific regulatory mechanisms. FINDINGS: We identified twice as many depot-specific differentially accessible regions (DARs) in OVAT compared to SAT. SAT-specific regions showed enrichment for adipose tissue enhancers involving genes controlling extracellular matrix organization and metabolic processes. In contrast, OVAT-specific regions showed enrichment in promoters linked to genes associated with cardiomyopathies. Moreover, OVAT-specific regions were enriched for bivalent transcription start site and repressive chromatin states, suggesting a "lingering" regulatory state. Motif analysis identified CTCF and BACH1 as most significantly enriched motifs in SAT and OVAT-specific DARs, respectively. Distinct gene sets correlated with important clinical variables of obesity, fat distribution measures, as well as insulin, glucose, and lipid metabolism. INTERPRETATION: We provide an integrated analysis of chromatin accessibility and transcriptional profiles in paired human SAT and OVAT samples, offering new insights into the regulatory landscape of adipose tissue and highlighting depot-specific mechanisms in obesity pathogenesis.
