Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroblast growth factor 21 corrects obesity in mice.
Tamer Coskun,Holly A. Bina,Michael Schneider,James D. Dunbar,Charlie C. Hu,Yanyun Chen,David E. Moller,Alexei Kharitonenkov +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that systemic administration of FGF21 for 2 wk in diet-induced obese and ob/ob mice lowered their mean body weight by 20% predominantly via a reduction in adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI
FGF-21/FGF-21 receptor interaction and activation is determined by betaKlotho.
Alexei Kharitonenkov,James D. Dunbar,Holly A. Bina,Stuart W. Bright,Julie S. Moyers,Chen Zhang,Liyun Ding,Radmila Micanovic,Sean F. Mehrbod,Michael D. Knierman,John E. Hale,Tamer Coskun,Armen B. Shanafelt +12 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that βKlotho and FGFRs form the cognate FGF‐21 receptor complex, mediating F GF‐21 cellular specificity and physiological effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
FGF21 attenuates lipolysis in human adipocytes - a possible link to improved insulin sensitivity.
Peter Arner,Amanda T. Pettersson,Pamela J. Mitchell,James D. Dunbar,Alexei Kharitonenkov,Mikael Rydén +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-day incubation with fibroblast growth factor 21 attenuated hormone-stimulated lipolysis and significantly reduced the expression of the lipid dropletassociated phosphoprotein perilipin without affecting differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular determinants of FGF‐21 activity—synergy and cross‐talk with PPARγ signaling
Julie S. Moyers,Tatiyana L. Shiyanova,Farrokh Mehrbod,James D. Dunbar,Timothy Wayne Noblitt,Keith A. Otto,Anne Reifel-Miller,Alexei Kharitonenkov +7 more
TL;DR: Treatment of cells with FGF‐21 and rosiglitazone in combination leads to a pronounced increase in expression of the GLUT1 glucose transporter and a marked synergy in stimulation of glucose transport, revealing a novel synergy between two regulators of glucose homeostasis, FGF-21 and PPARγ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different roles of N- and C- termini in the functional activity of FGF21.
Radmila Micanovic,David W. Raches,James D. Dunbar,David Driver,Holly A. Bina,Craig Duane Dickinson,Alexei Kharitonenkov +6 more
TL;DR: Structural/function studies show that the C‐terminus is important for βKlotho interaction whereas the N‐ terminus likely interacts directly with FGF receptors, and that the interaction with the co‐receptor involves the C-terminus.
