Regulatory microRNAs in Brown, Brite and White Adipose Tissue

open access: yesCells, 2020
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a class of short noncoding RNAs which regulate gene expression by targeting messenger RNA, inducing translational repression and messenger RNA degradation.

De novo reconstruction of human adipose transcriptome reveals conserved lncRNAs as regulators of brown adipogenesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Long non-coding RNAs are known to regulate mouse white adipose tissue development and brown adipose tissue program expression. Here, the authors construct a roadmap for human long non-coding RNAs expressed in fetal brown adipose tissue, adult omental and

Expression profiles and gene set enrichment analysis of the transcriptomes from the cancer tissue, white adipose tissue and paracancer tissue with colorectal cancer [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is related to diet and obesity. Currently, crosstalk between lipid metabolism and CRC has been reported; however, the specific mechanism is not yet understood.

CD47 differentially regulates white and brown fat function

open access: yesBiology Open, 2020
Mechanisms that enhance energy expenditure are attractive therapeutic targets for obesity. Previously we have demonstrated that mice lacking cd47 are leaner, exhibit increased energy expenditure, and are protected against diet-induced obesity.

Adipocyte lipid synthesis coupled to neuronal control of thermogenic programming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: The de novo biosynthesis of fatty acids (DNL) through fatty acid synthase (FASN) in adipocytes is exquisitely regulated by nutrients, hormones, fasting, and obesity in mice and humans. However, the functions of DNL in adipocyte biology and in

The gut microbiota regulates white adipose tissue inflammation and obesity via a family of microRNAs

open access: yesScience Translational Medicine, 2019
Tryptophan-derived metabolites from the gut microbiota control miR-181 expression in mouse white adipocytes to regulate metabolism and inflammation.

Gonadal white adipose tissue-derived exosomal MiR-222 promotes obesity-associated insulin resistance

open access: yesAging, 2020
In this study, we investigated the role of serum exosomal miR-222 in obesity-related insulin resistance. Bioinformatics analyses showed that miR-222 levels were significantly upregulated in the white adipose tissue of obese patients with insulin ...

Unraveling White Adipose Tissue Heterogeneity and Obesity by Adipose Stem/Stromal Cell Biology and 3D Culture Models

open access: yesCells, 2023
The immune and endocrine dysfunctions of white adipose tissue are a hallmark of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In humans, white adipose tissue comprises distinct depots broadly distributed under the skin (hypodermis) and as ...

The adipose tissue: something more than a reservoir of energy

open access: yesGrasas y Aceites, 2009
Adipose tissue is a reservoir of energy and also an organ that contributes to the aesthetics and health of human body working as an endocrine tissue. White adipose tissue, which is formed by unilocular adipose cells, can modify organic homeostasis by ...

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

open access: yesNature 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
