Journal ArticleDOI
Prdm16 determines the thermogenic program of subcutaneous white adipose tissue in mice
Patrick Seale,Heather M. Conroe,Jennifer L. Estall,Shingo Kajimura,Andrea Frontini,Jeff Ishibashi,Paul Cohen,Saverio Cinti,Bruce M. Spiegelman +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Prdm16 is a cell-autonomous determinant of a brown fat-like gene program and thermogenesis in subcutaneous adipose tissues and reduced the brown fat phenotype in white adipose tissue stimulated by β-adrenergic agonists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pax7 activates myogenic genes by recruitment of a histone methyltransferase complex
Iain W. McKinnell,Jeff Ishibashi,Fabien Le Grand,Vincent G. Punch,Gregory C. Addicks,Jack Greenblatt,F. Jeffrey Dilworth,Michael A. Rudnicki +7 more
TL;DR: A multi-level approach to define the role of Pax7 in satellite cell function revealed that Pax7 induces chromatin modifications that stimulate transcriptional activation of target genes to regulate entry into the myogenic developmental programme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beige can be slimming
Jeff Ishibashi,Patrick Seale +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the fatty acid derivatives called prostaglandins encourage adipocytes (fat cells) to do exactly this—waste energy through increased heat production, similar to heating a house in winter with the windows open.
Journal ArticleDOI
EBF2 Determines and Maintains Brown Adipocyte Identity
Sona Rajakumari,Jun Wu,Jeff Ishibashi,Hee-Woong Lim,An Hoa Giang,Kyoung-Jae Won,Randall R. Reed,Patrick Seale +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that early B cell factor-2 (Ebf2) regulates Pparγ binding activity to determine brown versus white adipocyte identity and is identified as a key transcriptional regulator of brown fat cell fate and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prdm16 Is Required for the Maintenance of Brown Adipocyte Identity and Function in Adult Mice
Matthew J. Harms,Jeff Ishibashi,Wenshan Wang,Hee-Woong Lim,Susumu Goyama,Tomohiko Sato,Mineo Kurokawa,Kyoung-Jae Won,Patrick Seale +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that Prdm16 and Prdm3 control postnatal BAT identity and function and Interestingly, the loss of brown fat identity due to ablation of PrDM16 was accelerated by concurrent deletion of the closely related PrDM3 gene.
