Epigenetic regulation of white adipose tissue plasticity and energy metabolism by nucleosome binding HMGN proteins

Nature Communications, 2022
White adipose tissue browning plays an important role in regulating whole-body energy homeostasis and metabolism. Here the authors show that the HMGN nucleosome binding proteins epigenetically promote white adipocyte differentiation and modulate the rate

Ablation of ORMDL3 impairs adipose tissue thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity by increasing ceramide generation

Molecular Metabolism, 2022
Objective: Genome-wide association studies identified ORMDL3 as an obesity-related gene, and its expression was negatively correlated with body mass index.

Human Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]

Cell Metabolism, 2010
The BAT organ is unique in that it has evolved to safely dissipate large amounts of chemical energy--a quality that might be harnessed to help humans deal with a dangerously hypercaloric environment and still remain in good health.

White-to-brown adipose switching promotes bladder cancer progression

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research
The invasion of bladder cancer into perivesical adipose tissue represents a watershed event in tumor progression, accompanied by a dramatic deterioration in clinical outcomes.

Pharmacological Activation of Thyroid Hormone Receptors Elicits a Functional Conversion of White to Brown Fat

Cell Reports, 2015
The functional conversion of white adipose tissue (WAT) into a tissue with brown adipose tissue (BAT)-like activity, often referred to as “browning,” represents an intriguing strategy for combating obesity and metabolic disease.

An update on brown adipose tissue and obesity intervention: Function, regulation and therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Overweight and obesity have become a world-wide problem. However, effective intervention approaches are limited. Brown adipose tissue, which helps maintain body temperature and contributes to thermogenesis, is dependent on uncoupling protein1.

Agnuside Stabilizes the Complex I Assembly Factor NDUFAF6 to Reinforce Mitochondrial Efficiency and Thermogenic Responsiveness

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate energy as heat, yet effective strategies to enhance their mitochondrial efficiency remain limited. Here, we identify Agnuside (AGN) as a selective stabilizer of the complex I assembly factor NDUFAF6. AGN directly binds cytosolic NDUFAF6, suppresses its ubiquitination, prolongs its half‐life, and facilitates

Brown remodeling of white adipose tissue protects against abdominal aortic aneurysm via batokine FSTL1

EMBO Molecular Medicine
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disease without effective medical therapies. Emerging evidence have suggested a crosstalk between adipose tissue and vascular cells. Besides, brown adipose tissue is considered beneficial for

Tbx15 is required for adipocyte browning induced by adrenergic signaling pathway

Molecular Metabolism, 2019
Objective: The T-box gene Tbx15 is abundantly expressed in adipose tissues, especially subcutaneous and brown fat. Although its expression is correlated with obesity, its precise biological role in adipose tissue is poorly understood in vivo.

NMI Regulates Adipose Adaptive Thermogenesis Through TLR4/IRF3 Signaling to Promote Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Adipose tissue‐derived NMI is secreted under metabolic stress and suppresses adaptive thermogenesis through TLR4/IRF3 signaling, repressing the PPARα/PGC‐1α/UCP1 thermogenic transcriptional program. Genetic ablation or anti ‐ NMI monoclonal antibody treatment enhances energy expenditure, protects against DIO, and ameliorates adipose tissue inflammation,
