Xanthine oxidoreductase is an endogenous regulator of cyclooxygenase-2.
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is the enzyme responsible for the final step in purine degradation resulting in the generation of uric acid. Here we have generated mice deficient in XOR. As expected, these animals lack tissue XOR activity and have low to undetectable serum levels of uric acid. Although normal at birth, XOR-/- mice fail to thrive after 10 to 14 days, and most die within the first ...
متن کاملHairless promotes PPARγ expression and is required for white adipogenesis.
Adipose tissue is the largest compartment in the mammalian body for storing energy as fat, providing an important reservoir of fuel for maintaining whole body energy homeostasis. Herein, we identify the transcriptional cofactor hairless (HR) to be required for white adipogenesis. Moreover, forced expression of HR in non-adipogenic precursor cells induces adipogenic gene expression and enhances ...
متن کاملAn Essential Regulator of Adipogenesis and Modulator of Fat Cell Function: PPARγ
PPAR␥, a member of the PPAR subfamily of nuclear hormone receptors, heterodimerizes with the retinoid X receptor ␣ (RXR␣) to promote gene expression. Like C/EBP␣, PPAR␥ is not expressed in preadipocytes (or is expressed at low levels) and is turned on during differentiation , prior to the expression of most adipocyte genes, many of which contain PPAR-binding sites (re-It is interest-Introductio...
متن کاملFABP4 attenuates PPARγ and adipogenesis and is inversely correlated with PPARγ in adipose tissues.
Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4, also known as aP2) is a cytoplasmic fatty acid chaperone expressed primarily in adipocytes and myeloid cells and implicated in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Here we demonstrate that FABP4 triggers the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a master regulator ...
متن کاملOsterix represses adipogenesis by negatively regulating PPARγ transcriptional activity
Osterix is a novel bone-related transcription factor involved in osteoblast differentiation, and bone maturation. Because a reciprocal relationship exists between adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells, we hypothesized that Osterix might have a role in adipogenesis. Ablation of Osterix enhanced adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells, whereas overexpression ...
