Journal ArticleDOI
A PGC1-α-dependent myokine that drives brown-fat-like development of white fat and thermogenesis
Pontus Boström,Jun Wu,Mark P. Jedrychowski,Anisha Korde,Li Ye,James C. Lo,Kyle A. Rasbach,Elisabeth A. Boström,Jang Hyun Choi,Jonathan Z. Long,Shingo Kajimura,Maria Cristina Zingaretti,Birgitte F. Vind,Hua Tu,Saverio Cinti,Kurt Højlund,Steven P. Gygi,Bruce M. Spiegelman +17 more
TL;DR: This article showed that PGC1α expression in muscle stimulates an increase in expression of FNDC5, a membrane protein that is cleaved and secreted as a newly identified hormone, irisin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective blockade of 2-arachidonoylglycerol hydrolysis produces cannabinoid behavioral effects
Jonathan Z. Long,Weiwei Li,Lamont Booker,James J. Burston,Steven G. Kinsey,Joel E. Schlosburg,Franciso J Pavón,Antonia Serrano,Dana E. Selley,Loren H. Parsons,Aron H. Lichtman,Benjamin F. Cravatt +11 more
TL;DR: 2-AG endogenously modulates several behavioral processes classically associated with the pharmacology of cannabinoids and point to overlapping and unique functions for 2-AG and anandamide in vivo, indicating a functional segregation of endocannabinoid signaling pathways in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monoacylglycerol Lipase Regulates a Fatty Acid Network that Promotes Cancer Pathogenesis
Daniel K. Nomura,Jonathan Z. Long,Sherry Niessen,Heather Hoover,Shu-Wing Ng,Benjamin F. Cravatt +5 more
TL;DR: Overexpression of MAGL in nonaggressive cancer cells recapitulates this fatty acid network and increases their pathogenicity-phenotypes that are reversed by an MAGL inhibitor, indicating that exogenous sources of fatty acids can contribute to malignancy in cancers lacking MAGL activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meteorin-like Is a Hormone that Regulates Immune-Adipose Interactions to Increase Beige Fat Thermogenesis
Rajesh R. Rao,Jonathan Z. Long,James P. White,Katrin J. Svensson,Jesse Lou,Isha A. Lokurkar,Mark P. Jedrychowski,Jorge L. Ruas,Christiane D. Wrann,James C. Lo,Donny M. Camera,Jenn Lachey,Steven P. Gygi,Jasbir Seehra,John A. Hawley,Bruce M. Spiegelman +15 more
TL;DR: The identification of meteorin-like (Metrnl), a circulating factor that is induced in muscle after exercise and in adipose tissue upon cold exposure, which links host-adaptive responses to the regulation of energy homeostasis and tissue inflammation and has therapeutic potential for metabolic and inflammatory diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocannabinoid Hydrolysis Generates Brain Prostaglandins That Promote Neuroinflammation
Daniel K. Nomura,Daniel K. Nomura,Bradley E. Morrison,Jacqueline L. Blankman,Jonathan Z. Long,Steven G. Kinsey,Maria Cecilia Garibaldi Marcondes,Anna M. Ward,Yun Kyung Hahn,Aron H. Lichtman,Bruno Conti,Benjamin F. Cravatt +11 more
TL;DR: These findings identify MAGL as a distinct metabolic node that couples endocannabinoid to prostaglandin signaling networks in the nervous system and suggest that inhibition of this enzyme may be a new and potentially safer way to suppress the proinflammatory cascades that underlie neurodegenerative disorders.
