A reservoir of brown adipocyte progenitors in human skeletal muscle.
Brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) plays a major role in the control of energy balance in rodents. It has long been thought, however, that there is no physiologically relevant UCP1 expression in adult humans. In this study we show, using an original approach consisting of sorting cells from various tissues and differentiating them in an adipogenic medium, that a stationary populat...
متن کاملPurification of Progenitors from Skeletal Muscle
Skeletal muscle contains multiple progenitor populations of distinct embryonic origins and developmental potential. Myogenic progenitors, usually residing in a "satellite cell position" between the myofiber plasma membrane and the laminin-rich basement membrane that ensheaths it, are self-renewing cells that are solely committed to the myogenic lineage. We have recently described a second class...
متن کاملChemerin Is a Novel Adipocyte-Derived Factor Inducing Insulin Resistance in Primary Human Skeletal Muscle Cells
OBJECTIVE Chemerin is an adipokine that affects adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis in adipocytes and increases with BMI in humans. This study was aimed at investigating the regulation of chemerin release and its effects on glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle cells. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Human skeletal muscle cells were treated with chemerin to study insulin signaling, glucose uptake...
متن کاملBrown Fat and Skeletal Muscle: Unlikely Cousins?
Although the functions of white fat and brown fat are increasingly well understood, their developmental origins remain unclear. A recent study published in Nature (Seale et al., 2008) identifies a population of progenitor cells that gives rise to brown fat and skeletal muscle but not white fat.
متن کاملAutophagy in Myf5+ progenitors regulates energy and glucose homeostasis through control of brown fat and skeletal muscle development
Macroautophagy (MA) regulates cellular quality control and energy balance. For example, loss of MA in aP2-positive adipocytes converts white adipose tissue (WAT) into brown adipose tissue (BAT)-like, enhancing BAT function and thereby insulin sensitivity. However, whether MA regulates early BAT development is unknown. We report that deleting Atg7 in myogenic Myf5+ progenitors inhibits MA in Myf...
