Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomical localization, gene expression profiling and functional characterization of adult human neck brown fat
Aaron M. Cypess,Andrew P. White,Cecile Vernochet,Tim J. Schulz,Ruidan Xue,Christina A. Sass,Tian Liang Huang,Carla Roberts-Toler,Lauren S Weiner,Cathy Sze,Aron T. Chacko,Laura N. Deschamps,Lindsay M Herder,Nathan Truchan,Allison L Glasgow,Ashley R. Holman,Alina Gavrila,Per-Olof Hasselgren,Marcelo A. Mori,Michael Molla,Yu-Hua Tseng +20 more
TL;DR: This study isolated anatomically defined neck fat from adult human volunteers and compared its gene expression, differentiation capacity and basal oxygen consumption to different mouse adipose depots, suggesting that activation of human BAT could be used as a safe treatment for obesity and metabolic dysregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and functional characterization of clonally derived adult human brown adipocytes
Kosaku Shinoda,Ineke H.N. Luijten,Yutaka Hasegawa,Haemin Hong,Si Brask Sonne,Miae Kim,Ruidan Xue,Maria Chondronikola,Aaron M. Cypess,Yu-Hua Tseng,Jan Nedergaard,Labros S. Sidossis,Shingo Kajimura +12 more
TL;DR: This study isolated clonally derived adipocytes from stromal vascular fractions of adult human BAT from two individuals and globally analyzed their molecular signatures and found that KCNK3 and MTUS1 were required for beige adipocyte differentiation and thermogenic function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brown-fat paucity due to impaired BMP signalling induces compensatory browning of white fat
Tim J. Schulz,Ping Huang,Tian Lian Huang,Ruidan Xue,Ruidan Xue,Lindsay E. McDougall,Kristy L. Townsend,Aaron M. Cypess,Yuji Mishina,Emanuela Gussoni,Yu-Hua Tseng +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a systemically active regulatory mechanism that controls whole-body BAT activity for thermoregulation and energy homeostasis, and an important physiological cross-talk between constitutive and recruitable brown fat cells is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
IRF4 Is a Key Thermogenic Transcriptional Partner of PGC-1α
Xingxing Kong,Alexander S. Banks,Tiemin Liu,Lawrence Kazak,Rajesh R. Rao,Paul Cohen,Xun Wang,Songtao Yu,James C. Lo,Yu-Hua Tseng,Aaron M. Cypess,Ruidan Xue,Sandra Kleiner,Sona Kang,Bruce M. Spiegelman,Evan D. Rosen,Evan D. Rosen +16 more
TL;DR: Interferon regulatory factor 4 is identified as a dominant transcriptional effector of thermogenesis and induced by cold and cAMP in adipocytes and is sufficient to promote increased thermogenic gene expression, energy expenditure, and cold tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clonal analyses and gene profiling identify genetic biomarkers of the thermogenic potential of human brown and white preadipocytes
Ruidan Xue,Matthew D. Lynes,Jonathan M. Dreyfuss,Farnaz Shamsi,Tim J. Schulz,Hongbin Zhang,Tian Lian Huang,Kristy L. Townsend,Yiming Li,Hirokazu Takahashi,Lauren S Weiner,Andrew P. White,Maureen S. Lynes,Lee L. Rubin,Laurie J. Goodyear,Aaron M. Cypess,Yu-Hua Tseng +16 more
TL;DR: This work generated clones of brown and white preadipocytes from human neck fat and characterized their adipogenic and thermogenic differentiation, and combined an uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) reporter system and expression profiling to define novel sets of gene signatures in human preadIPocytes that could predict the thermogenic potential of the cells once they were maturated.
