Silver nanoparticles inhibit beige fat function and promote adiposity

Molecular Metabolism, 2019
Objective: Obesity is a complex chronic disease of high prevalence worldwide. Multiple factors play integral roles in obesity development, with rising interest focusing on the contribution of environmental pollutants frequent in modern society.

The emerging role of the Hippo signaling pathway in interorgan crosstalk

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Hippo signaling functions as a central hub of interorgan communication. Systemic cues from the gut, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle—including hormones, metabolites, and microbial signals—regulate YAP/TAZ activity in a tissue‐ and context‐dependent manner.

Adipocyte‐specific NIK depletion enhances energy metabolism and glucose tolerance in mice

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Obesity is associated with reduced energy expenditure and increased hepatic lipid accumulation. This study reveals that loss of NIK in adipocytes stimulates FGF21‐driven expression of thermogenic genes, including UCP1, and mitochondrial uncoupled respiration.

Stepping Up Human Beige Fat Cell Production

Cell Reports, 2018
Beige fat cells hold significant promise for reducing obesity and metabolic disease. Su et al. (2018) present a robust method to produce human beige adipocytes from pluripotent stem cells via the generation of an expandable intermediary population of ...

Tankyrase‐2 regulates adipocyte differentiation through AMPK/mTOR signaling

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2), a PARP family member, underpins adipocyte differentiation. TNKS2 controls LKB1 protein level, and consequently, the activity of the mTOR/AMPK system and adipocyte differentiation through a layered process. Pharmacological inhibition of TNKS2 leaves other PARPs and DNA repair active and therefore represents a novel target in ...

Adipose mTORC1 Suppresses Prostaglandin Signaling and Beige Adipogenesis via the CRTC2-COX-2 Pathway

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Beige adipocytes are present in white adipose tissue (WAT) and have thermogenic capacity to orchestrate substantial energy metabolism and counteract obesity.

Protein Kinase SGK2 Is Induced by the β3 Adrenergic Receptor-cAMP-PKA-PGC-1α/NT-PGC-1α Axis but Dispensable for Brown/Beige Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Brown and beige adipocytes are specialized to dissipate energy as heat. Sgk2, encoding a serine/threonine kinase, has been identified as a brown and beige adipocyte-specific gene in rodents and humans; however, its function in brown/beige adipocytes ...

The ciliary neurotrophic factor induces Stat3 phosphorylation in distinctive cytotypes of organs involved in body metabolism: An immunohistochemical study

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
p‐STAT3‐positive cells in metabolically relevant peripheral organs and tissues from mice administered with recombinant CNTF (0.3 mg/kg). Abstract Administration of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) reduces food intake and body weight in both humans and experimental animals, where it also ameliorates hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia ...

Androgen Receptor is a Negative Regulator of PRDM16 in Beige Adipocyte

Advanced Science, 2023
AbstractPRDM16 (PR domain containing protein 16) serves as a dominant activator of brown and beige adipocyte. However, mechanisms underlying the regulation of PRDM16 expression are incompletely understood. A Prdm16 luciferase knockin reporter mouse model is generated, enabling high throughput monitoring of Prdm16 transcription.

Exosomes from the tumour-adipocyte interplay stimulate beige/brown differentiation and reprogram metabolism in stromal adipocytes to promote tumour progression

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2019
Background Emerging evidence supports the pivotal roles of adipocytes in breast cancer progression. Tumour induced beige/brown adipose tissue differentiation contributes to the hypermetabolic state of the breast cancer.
