Toward a Consensus View of Mammalian Adipocyte Stem and Progenitor Cell Heterogeneity

The authors present current knowledge on adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs), their population structure, hierarchy, fat depot-specific nature, function, and regulatory mechanisms, and discuss not only the similarities, but also the differences between mouse and human ASPC biology.

Selective Inhibition of CBP/p300 HAT by A-485 Results in Suppression of Lipogenesis and Hepatic Gluconeogenesis

In primary mouse hepatocytes, A-485 abolished cAMP-elicited mRNA expressions of key gluconeogenic enzymes and promoted FOXO1 protein degradation via increasing its ubiquitination.

TGF-β Is Insufficient to Induce Adipocyte State Loss without Concurrent PPARγ Downregulation

Scientists found that the intracellular TGF-β signaling in adipocytes was inhibited by the transcriptional factor PPARγ, specifically by its ubiquitously expressed isoform PPARγ1. However, TGF-β led to adipocyte state loss when it was present simultaneously with another stimulus.
