CD4 T cell activation induces dramatic changes to cellular metabolism for supporting their growth and differentiation into effector subsets. While the cytokines IL-4, TGF-β and IL-21 promote differentiation into Th9 cells, metabolic factors regulating this process remain poorly understood. To assess the role of lipid metabolism in human Th9 cell differentiation, naïve CD4 T cells were purified from blood of healthy volunteers and cultured in the presence or absence of compounds targeting PPAR-γ, acetyl-CoA-carboxylase 1 (ACC1), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) for four days.

Aims: This study investigates the role of actin polymerization and Myh9 in mediating lipid droplet (LD) fission during rosiglitazone-induced browning of white adipocytes. The aim is to understand how LD splitting might contribute to the beige conversion of white adipose tissue, providing insights into adipocyte plasticity and metabolic regulation.
Materials And Methods: C3H10 T1/2-differentiated adipocytes were used as a classical model to study white adipocyte browning.

Oxygen-free radicals have been implicated in the initiation of diabetic complications. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), known for their antidiabetic properties, also demonstrate notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Although a recently developed imidazolyl analogue of pioglitazone (PA9) has exhibited superior glucose-lowering efficacy compared to pioglitazone, its antioxidant effects remain unexplored.
