Ahnak Deficiency Attenuates High-Fat Diet-Induced Fatty Liver in Mice through FGF21 Induction

Ahnak knockdown in hepatocytes reportedly prevented excessive lipid accumulation induced by palmitate treatment and was associated with increased secretion of FGF21 and the expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation, which are primarily downstream of PPARα.

Progression of Prostate Carcinoma Is Promoted by Adipose Stromal Cell-Secreted CXCL12 Signaling in Prostate Epithelium

Researchers demonstrated that epithelial–mesenchymal transition in prostate tumors was promoted by obesity and suppressed upon pharmacological adipose stromal cells depletion in HiMyc mice, a spontaneous genetic model of prostate cancer.

FTO-Mediated Cytoplasmic m6Am Demethylation Adjusts Stem-Like Properties in Colorectal Cancer Cell

Researchers showed that the cytoplasmic pool of fat mass and obesity-associated protein impeded cancer stem cellabilities in colorectal cancer through its N6,2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) demethylase activity.

Adiponectin-Expressing Treg Facilitate T Lymphocyte Development in Thymic Nurse Cell Complexes

Adoptive transfer of adiponectin-expressing Treg precursors effectively attenuated obesity, improved glucose and insulin tolerance, prevented fatty liver injuries in wild-type mice fed a high-fat diet, and significantly inhibited breast cancer development in MMTV-PyVT transgenic mice.
