Journal ArticleDOI

Brown Remodeling of White Adipose Tissue by SirT1-Dependent Deacetylation of Pparγ

TL;DR: It is proposed that SirT1-dependent P parγ deacetylation is a form of selective Pparγ modulation of potential therapeutic import in order to staunch the current obesity epidemic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-based prediction of protein–protein interactions on a genome-wide scale

TL;DR: Three-dimensional structural information can be used to predict PPIs with an accuracy and coverage that are superior to predictions based on non-structural evidence, and an algorithm, termed PrePPI, which combines structural information with other functional clues is comparable in accuracy to high-throughput experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin Secretion Is Regulated by SIRT1 and the Endoplasmic Reticulum Oxidoreductase Ero1-Lα

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidoreductase Ero1-Lα and effectors modulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and SIRT1 activities regulate secretion of adiponectin from 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

C/EBPα and the corepressors CtBP1 and CtBP2 regulate repression of select visceral white adipose genes during induction of the brown phenotype in white adipocytes by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonists

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this phenotypic conversion is characterized by repression of a set of white fat genes, including the resistin, angiotensinogen, and chemerin genes, in addition to induction of brown-specific genes, such as Ucp-1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Protein (C/EBP) α Expression by C/EBPβ during Adipogenesis Requires a Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor-γ-associated Repression of HDAC1 at the C/ebpα Gene Promoter

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of PPARγ activity by exposure of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to a potent and selective PParγ antagonist inhibits adipogenesis but also blocks the activation of C/EBPα expression at the onset of differentiation.
