Journal ArticleDOI

Osteopontin Mediates Obesity-Induced Adipose Tissue Macrophage Infiltration and Insulin Resistance in Mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that osteopontin may play a key role in linking obesity to the development of insulin resistance by promoting inflammation and the accumulation of macrophages in adipose tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in reproductive tissues: from gametogenesis to parturition

TL;DR: The roles of PPARs in different compartments of the reproductive axis (from male and female gametogenesis to parturition), with a focus on PPARgamma, and the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of glitazones on PCOS are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NR4A orphan nuclear receptor NOR1 is induced by platelet-derived growth factor and mediates vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SMC isolated from NOR1-deficient mice exhibit decreased cell proliferation and characterize cyclin D1 and D2 as NOR1 target genes in SMC, and further demonstrate that NOR1 functions as a key transcriptional regulator of SMC proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointima formation by histone deacetylase inhibition.

TL;DR: Findings identify HDAC as a critical component of a transcriptional cascade regulating SMC proliferation and suggest that HDAC might play a pivotal role in the development of proliferative vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and in-stent restenosis.
