Ubiquitin ligase RNF20 coordinates sequential adipose thermogenesis with brown and beige fat-specific substrates

open access: yesNature Communications
In mammals, brown adipose tissue (BAT) and inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) execute sequential thermogenesis to maintain body temperature during cold stimuli.

A MetAP2 inhibitor blocks adipogenesis, yet improves glucose uptake in cells

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2019
Adipose tissue expansion involves angiogenesis to remodel its capillary network. The enzymemethionine aminopeptidase 2(MetAP2) promotes angiogenesis.MetAP2 inhibitors suppress angiogenesis and have potential anti-obesity effect.

Whole-slide image analysis outperforms micrograph acquisition for adipocyte size quantification

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2020
The distinction between biological processes of adipose tissue expansion is crucial to understanding metabolic derangements, but a robust method for quantifying adipocyte size has yet to be standardized.

Bioinformatics analysis of candidate genes and potential therapeutic drugs targeting adipose tissue in obesity

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2022
Obesity is a complex medical condition that affects multiple organs in the body. However, the underlying mechanisms of obesity, as well as its treatment, are largely unexplored.

Single cell analysis reveals immune cell-adipocyte crosstalk regulating the transcription of thermogenic adipocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Immune cells are vital constituents of the adipose microenvironment that influence both local and systemic lipid metabolism. Mice lacking IL10 have enhanced thermogenesis, but the roles of specific cell types in the metabolic response to IL10 remain to ...

Androgens and Hypertension in Men and Women: a Unifying View. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This review was designed to revaluate the androgen role on the mechanisms of hypertension and cardiovascular risks in both men and women. Sex steroids are involved in the regulation of blood pressure, but pathophysiological mechanism is not well ...

A Novel Function of Nonadecanoic Acid in Regulating Glucose Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the odd‐chain fatty acid C19:0 as an endogenous ligand of GPR120 that promotes glucose homeostasis via Gαq signaling. In obesity, elevated palmitic acid suppresses endogenous C19:0 production through a miRNA–PPARα–HACL1 pathway, offering a promising direction for understanding the role of OCFAs in human health.

pubCounteR: an R package for interrogating published literature for experimentally-derived gene lists within a user-defined biological context

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioinformatics
Basic and clinical biomedical research relies heavily on modern large-scale datasets that include genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, and proteomics, among other “Omics”. These research tools very often generate lists of candidate genes

Non-obesogenic doses of palmitate disrupt circadian metabolism in adipocytes

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2019
Saturated fatty acids, such as palmitate, lead to circadian disruption. We aimed at studying the effect of low doses of palmitate on circadian metabolism and to decipher the mechanism by which fatty acids convey their effect in adipocytes.

Insulin-induced serine 22 phosphorylation of retinoid X receptor alpha is dispensable for adipogenesis in brown adipocytes

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2020
Insulin action initiates a series of phosphorylation events regulating cellular differentiation, growth and metabolism. We have previously discovered, in a mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic study, that insulin/IGF-1 signalling induces ...
