    Characterization of microRNA expression profiles in 3T3-L1 adipocytes overexpressing C10orf116

    Our data in the previous report demonstrated that C10orf116 (AFRO) is an adipocyte lineage-specific nuclear factor that can modulate the master adipogenesis transcription factors early during differentiation. ...

    MiR-335, an Adipogenesis-Related MicroRNA, is Involved in Adipose Tissue Inflammation

    During the development of obesity, adipose tissue releases a host of different adipokines and inflammatory cytokines, such as leptin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and adipon...

    Knockdown of LYRM1 Rescues Insulin Resistance and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Induced by FCCP in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

    LYR motif-containing 1 (LYRM1) was recently discovered to be involved in adipose tissue homeostasis and obesity-associated insulin resistance. We previously demonstrated that LYRM1 overexpression might contribute...

    Transcriptome analysis reveals the potential contribution of long noncoding RNAs to brown adipocyte differentiation

    Brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions to dissipate energy in response to cold exposure or overfeeding. Counteracting obesity has been extensively considered as a promising target. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) ...
