EBF2 determines and maintains brown adipocyte identity.
The master transcription factor Pparγ regulates the general differentiation program of both brown and white adipocytes. However, it has been unclear whether Pparγ also controls fat lineage-specific characteristics. Here, we show that early B cell factor-2 (Ebf2) regulates Pparγ binding activity to determine brown versus white adipocyte identity. The Ebf DNA-binding motif was highly enriched wit...
متن کاملNesfatin-1 promotes brown adipocyte phenotype
Nesfatin-1, an 82 amino acid gastric peptide, is involved in regulation of food uptake and in multiple metabolic activities. Whether nesfatin-1 modulates the differentiation and lipid metabolism of brown adipocytes remains unknown. In the present study, we found that nesfatin-1 mRNA and protein were detectable in isolated brown adipocytes and gradually decreased during differentiation (95% CI 0...
متن کاملAdrenergic regulation of brown adipocyte differentiation.
Introduction Brown and white fat-cells share a basic life pattern in developing from undifferentiated fibroblast-like precursors to becoming increasingly differentiated with time. Throughout the life of an organism, a pool of precursors remains available. It would seem that the number of white fatcells, at least, is not constant but is influenced by external factors, such as food supply, and so...
متن کاملRegulation of brown adipocyte metabolism by myostatin/follistatin signaling
Obesity develops from perturbations of cellular bioenergetics, when energy uptake exceeds energy expenditure, and represents a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other conditions. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has long been known to dissipate energy as heat and contribute to energy expenditure, but its presence and physiologi...
متن کاملDifferential roles of insulin receptor substrates in brown adipocyte differentiation.
Insulin promotes adipocyte differentiation via a complex signaling network involving multiple insulin receptor substrates (IRSs). In cultured brown preadipocytes, expression of IRS-1 and IRS-2 mRNAs and proteins was at relatively high levels before and after differentiation into mature fat cells, while IRS-3 transcript was not detectable in preadipocytes but increased during the course of diffe...
