Adipogenesis is regulated by a complex cascade of transcriptional factors, but little is known about the early events that regulate the adipogenic program. Here, we report the role of the srebf1a gene in the differentiation of fibroblastic 3T3-F442A cells. We found that expression of srebf1a depended on GSK3β activity and that GSK3β activity was necessary for C/EBPβ phosphorylation at Thr188. Knockdown of srebf1a inhibited the adipogenic program because it blocked the expression of genes encoding PPARγ2, C/EBPα, SREBP1c and even FABP4, demonstrating that SREBP1a activation is upstream of these three essential adipogenic transcription factors. Kinetic analysis during differentiation illustrated that the order of expression of adipogenic genes was the following: cebpb, srebf1a, pparg2, cebpa, srebp1c and fabp4. Our data suggest that srebf1a acts as an essential link between the GSK3β-C/EBPβ signaling axis and the beginning of the adipogenic transcriptional cascade.

Objective: LepR-expressing cells (LepR cells), a critical subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells, have gained increasing attention in the last decade. LepR cells have been found to play a crucial role in maintaining bone and periodontal homeostasis. This review summarizes current research advances focusing on the role of LepR cells and their underlying regulatory molecular mechanisms in bones and periodontium, aiming to provide a better understanding of the therapeutic potential of this cell lineage.

Porcine skeletal muscle development is closely linked to meat production efficiency and quality. The accumulation of porcine intramuscular fat is influenced by the hyperplasia and hypertrophy of adipocytes within the muscle. However, the cellular profiles corresponding to the two stages of muscle development remain undetermined.

Aims: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) cause prominent morbidity and mortality. Adipose mesenchymal stem cell (ASC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) show property in facilitating diabetic wound healing, and we explored their role in DFU rats.
Methods: ASCs were cultured in vitro, passaged and then identified by flow cytometry and induction of osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation.

Context: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a challenging condition owing to relentless orbital tissue remodeling, with thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) in orbital fibroblasts (OFs) serving as a promising therapeutic target.
Objective: This study seeks to discover potential TSHR inhibitors among US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs and evaluate their effects on TED-OFs.
Methods: Adipose tissues were sourced from the patients with or without TED.
