Article Abstract
Aims: Carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) is a transcription factor that regulates several metabolic genes, including the lipogenic enzymes necessary for the metabolic conversion of carbohydrates into lipids. Although the crucial role of ChREBP in the liver, the primary site of de novo lipogenesis, has been studied, its functional role in adipose tissues, particularly brown adipose tissue (BAT), remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of ChREBP in BAT under conditions of a high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) and ketogenic diet (KD), represented by extremely low carbohydrate intake.
Main Methods: Using an adeno-associated virus and Cas9 knock-in mice, we rapidly generated Chrebp brown adipocyte-specific knock-out (B-KO) mice, bypassing the necessity for prolonged breeding by using the Cre-Lox system.
Key Findings: We demonstrated that ChREBP is essential for glucose metabolism and lipogenic gene expression in BAT under HCD conditions in Chrebp B-KO mice. After nutrient intake, Chrebp B-KO attenuated the KD-induced expression of several inflammatory genes in BAT.
Significance: Our results indicated that ChREBP, a nutrient-sensing regulator, is indispensable for expressing a diverse range of metabolic genes in BAT.

Tumor metabolic reprogramming has been recognized as a critical determinant in tumor development and cancer immunotherapy response. Aberrant choline metabolism is emerging as a defining hallmark of cancer. Here, we found that carbohydrate responsive element binding protein (ChREBP)-mediated choline deprivation induced tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) reprogramming and maintained an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

This study aims to investigate the in vitro mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of puerarin on hepatic insulin resistance(IR) based on the carbohydrate response element-binding protein(ChREBP)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR)α/PPARγ axis involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. An IR-HepG2 cell model was established by treating cells with dexamethasone for 48 h, and the cells were then treated with 10, 20, and 40 μmol·L~(-1) puerarin for 24 h. Glucose levels and output in the extracellular fluid were measured by the glucose oxidase method, while cell viability was assessed by the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay.

Intermittent fasting (IF) and exercise can reverse the impaired glycolipid conversion ability caused by obesity. However, the effects of IF and exercise combination on glycolipid conversion ability in normal individuals remain to be determined. In this study, male KM mice were subjected to IF (including alternate-day fasting (ADF), time-restricted fasting (TRF)), treadmill exercise, and a combination of the two interventions for 6 weeks.

The Carbohydrate-Responsive Element-Binding Protein (ChREBP) is a glucose-sensitive transcription factor that regulates the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. We investigated its cell-type-specific role in hepatocarcinogenesis using a chemically induced mouse model. Additionally, we examined the functions of its isoforms, ChREBPα and ChREBPβ.
