Article Abstract
Obesity is caused by the accumulation of excess lipids due to an energy imbalance. Differentiation of pre-adipocytes induces abnormal lipid accumulation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in this process promote the differentiation of pre-adipocytes through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Peroxiredoxin (Prx) is a potent antioxidant enzyme, and peroxiredoxin 5 (Prx5), which is mainly expressed in cytosol and mitochondria, inhibits adipogenesis by regulating ROS levels. Based on previous findings, the present study was performed to investigate whether cytosolic Prx5 (CytPrx5) or mitochondrial Prx5 (MtPrx5) has a greater effect on the inhibition of adipogenesis. In this study, MtPrx5 decreased insulin-mediated ROS levels to reduce adipogenic gene expression and lipid accumulation more effectively than CytPrx5. In addition, we found that p38 MAPK mainly participates in adipogenesis. Furthermore, we verified that MtPrx5 overexpression suppressed the phosphorylation of p38 during adipogenesis. Thus, we suggest that MtPrx5 inhibits insulin-induced adipogenesis more effectively than CytPrx5.

Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) are considered a promising alternative to bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) due to their high proliferative capacity and non-invasive accessibility. While UC-MSCs exhibit osteogenic, chondrogenic, and myogenic differentiation potential comparable to BM-MSCs, their adipogenic differentiation is significantly delayed. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we focused on primary cilia, sensory organelles that regulate key adipogenic signaling pathways, including the insulin-Akt axis.

The action of protein kinases and protein phosphatases is essential for multiple physiological responses. Each protein kinase displays its own unique substrate specificity and a regulatory mechanism that may be modulated by association with other proteins. Protein kinases are classified as dual-specificity kinases and dual-specificity phosphatases.

Low-grade chronic inflammation and adipocyte dysfunction are prominent risk factors of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obesity. Thus, prevention of inflammation and adipocyte dysfunction could be one possible approach to mitigate T2DM development. Several species have been used in traditional medicine for ameliorating inflammation and T2DM.

Several clinical studies observed a surprising beneficial effect of obesity on enhancing immunotherapy responsiveness in patients with melanoma, highlighting an as-yet insufficiently understood relationship between metabolism and immunogenicity. Here, we demonstrate that the thiazolidinedione (TZD) rosiglitazone, a drug commonly used to treat diabetes by sequestering fatty acids in metabolically inert subcutaneous adipose tissue, improved sensitivity to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) treatment in YUMMER1.7 tumor-bearing mice, an initially immunotherapy-sensitive murine melanoma model.

Several P2Y nucleotide receptors have been shown to be involved in the early stage of adipocyte differentiation in vitro and insulin resistance in obese mice; however, the exact receptor subtype(s) and its underlying molecular mechanism in relevant human cells are unclear. Here, using human primary visceral preadipocytes as a model, we found that during preadipocyte-to-mature adipocyte differentiation, the P2Y nucleotide receptor (P2YR) was the most upregulated subtype among the eight known P2Y receptors and the only one further dramatically upregulated after inflammatory TNFα treatment. Functional studies indicated that the P2YR induced intracellular Ca, ERK1/2, and JNK signaling but not the p38 pathway.
