Renin receptor expression in human adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue synthesizes all components of the renin-angiotensin system. The renin receptor (RenR) is able, on renin binding, to increase its efficiency to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen. We demonstrate that RenR is specifically synthesized in the stromal portion of human adipose tissue in both isolated interadipocyte stromal cells and in stromal areas. RenR is expressed at the p...
متن کاملCalcium sensing receptor activation elevates proinflammatory factor expression in human adipose cells and adipose tissue.
The proinflammatory status of adipose tissue has been linked to the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of obesity. Human adipose cells express the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR), and its expression is elevated in inflammatory states, such as that associated with obesity. Given the CaSR's association with inflammation in other tissues, we evaluated its role elevating the adipose expressi...
متن کاملThyrotropin receptors in brown adipose tissue: thyrotropin stimulates type II iodothyronine deiodinase and uncoupling protein-1 in brown adipocytes.
It has been demonstrated that TSH receptors are expressed not only in thyroid gland but also in extrathyroidal tissues. Brown adipose tissue of guinea pig has been reported to express TSH receptor messenger RNA (mRNA), but the physiological roles of TSH receptors in brown adipose tissue have not been understood. We studied the expression and function of TSH receptors in rat brown adipose tissue...
متن کاملHuman fibrocytes coexpress thyroglobulin and thyrotropin receptor.
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is the macromolecular precursor of thyroid hormones and is thought to be uniquely expressed by thyroid epithelial cells. Tg and the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) are targets for autoantibody generation in the autoimmune disorder Graves disease (GD). Fully expressed GD is characterized by thyroid overactivity and orbital tissue inflammation and remodeling. This p...
متن کاملEngineering Vascularized Human Adipose Tissue
Introduction Due to complications of currently available therapies, the clinical impetus to engineer adipose tissue for the correction of soft tissue defects is high. Unfortunately, poor survival of in vitro-engineered adipose tissue after transplantation is still a major hurdle for clinical use. The main reason for this poor survival is postulated to be insufficient vascularization. In this st...
