Adipocyte differentiation from the inside out

Abstract: Improved knowledge of all aspects of adipose biology will be required to counter the burgeoning epidemic of obesity. Interest in adipogenesis has increased markedly over the past few years with emphasis on the intersection between extracellular signals and the transcriptional cascade that regulates adipocyte differentiation. Many different events contribute to the commitment of a mesenchymal stem cell to the adipocyte lineage including the coordination of a complex network of transcription factors, cofactors a… Show more

“…Once the differentiation switches were activated and opened, MSCs then initiated adipogenesis by activating expression of adipogenic genes such as FABP4, leptin, and adiponection 19. Many studies confirmed that most growth factors or stimuli that upregulated adipogenesis ultimately exerted their effects through regulation of PPARγ and C/EBPα expression 20. In the present study, we found that Si ions strongly enhanced expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα in adipogenic‐induced cells.…”

“…In the 3T3-L1 model, C/EBPb and C/EBPd are rapidly activated upon induction of differentiation. They in turn induce C/EBPa and PPARg2, which together activate the majority of genes expressed in differentiating adipocytes (Rosen and MacDougald, 2006). To address the molecular mechanisms underlying hSNF5/INI1-mediated adipogenic differentiation, we investigated the expression To further study the cooperation between hSNF5/ INI1 and C/EBPb, we carried out transcription activation reporter assays with the PPARg2 promoter, which has been described previously to contain C/EBP binding sites and to be activated by C/EBP proteins (Saladin et al, 1999).…”

“…WAT primarily contributes to energy storage and the regulation of energy balance at large. [1][2][3] BAT's principal function is to generate heat by fat burning. 4 Disruption of normal metabolic homeostasis in obesity leads to the development of several pathological conditions such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and increased risk of development of a variety of cancers.…”

“…Being both necessary and sufficient for white and brown adipocyte formation, PPARg is considered to be the master regulator of adipogenesis. 1,3 The brown adipocyte shares a common progenitor cell with the skeletal muscle lineage. The transcription factor Positive-Regulatory-Domain-Containing-16 (PRDM16) has been identified as the key molecular switch committing skeletal muscle progenitors into the development of brown adipocytes.…”
