Co‐overexpression of the caloric restriction‐induced mitochondrial factors PGC‐1α and MIPEP upregulates Phospho1 expression in adipocytes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caloric restriction that extends lifespan induces the expression of PGC‐1α and MIPEP in white adipose tissue. In this study, co‐overexpression of Pgc‐1α and Mipep upregulated the gene expression of PHOSPHO1. These findings provide new insights into mitochondria‐related mechanisms underlying the effects of caloric restriction in adipocytes.

Endocrinology and the brain: Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a key player of basal and stress activated responses in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and in extrahypothalamic circuits, where it functions as a neuromodulator to orchestrate humoral and behavioral

Animal‐Free Setup of a 3D Mature Adipocyte‐Macrophage Co‐Culture to Induce Inflammation In Vitro

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A completely animal‐free 3D co‐culture is developed using human fat cells and immune cells. Animal‐based materials are replaced with gellan gum hydrogel and a serum‐free medium. Immune cells are effectively activated, producing specific inflammatory signals.

Characterization and inhibition of β-adrenergic receptor kinase in intact myocytes [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 1997
beta-Adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) phosphorylates and thereby inactivates agonist-occupied beta-adrenergic receptors (beta AR). beta ARK is thought to play an important role in the regulation of cardiac function. Therefore, we studied beta ARK activation and its inhibition in intact smooth muscle cells and in cardiomyoblasts.beta AR agonist ...

A High‐Fidelity RNA‐Targeting Cas13X Downregulates Connexin43 in Macroglia: A Novel Neuroprotective Strategy for Glaucoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of connexin43 (Cx43) in mediating glia activation and neuroinflammation in glaucoma. Using Cx43 knockout mice, it is shown that macroglial cells‐derived Cx43 modulates microglial activation, proliferation, migration, and polarization.

Locus Coeruleus Noradrenergic‐Spinal Projections Contribute to Electroacupuncture‐Mediated Antinociception in Postoperative Pain in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How locus coeruleus noradrenergic‐spinal projections and subsequent α2A adrenoceptors‐CaMKII signaling cascades contribute to electroacupuncture‐induced antinociception in postoperative pain in mice is described. Abstract Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in healthcare.

Crosstalk between beta‐adrenergic and insulin signaling mediates mechanistic target of rapamycin hyperactivation in liver of high‐fat diet‐fed male mice

Physiological Reports, 2021
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease. While increased nutrient intake and sympathetic activity have been associated with the disease, the pathogenesis of NAFLD remains incompletely understood.

Overexpression of myocardial Gsalpha prevents full expression of catecholamine desensitization despite increased beta-adrenergic receptor kinase.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1998
Inotropic and chronotropic responses to catecholamines in young adult transgenic mice overexpressing myocardial Gsalpha are enhanced. One might predict that over the life of the animal, this chronically enhanced beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation would

Amino Acid‐Sensing Neurons in the Anterior Piriform Cortex Control Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a class of amino acid‐sensing neurons, APCCRH neurons, which regulate BAT thermogenesis. Leucine deficiency alters intrinsic excitability through GCN2 signaling pathway, activating APCCRH neurons, which in turn regulate BAT thermogenesis via projections to the lateral hypothalamus.
