STRA6 promotes thyroid carcinoma progression via activation of the ILK/AKT/mTOR axis in cells and female nude mice
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates the critical roles of STRA6 contributing to TC progression via the ILK/AKT/mTOR axis, which may provide a novel prognostic marker as well as a promising therapeutic target for aggressive TC.PMID:36592123 | DOI:10.1210/endocr/bqac215

Laminin- α4 negatively regulates adipocyte beiging through the suppression of AMPKα in male mice
Endocrinology. 2022 Sep 19:bqac154. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqac154. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaminin-α4 (LAMA4) is an extracellular matrix protein implicated in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation and function. Prior research describes a role for LAMA4 in modulating adipocyte thermogenesis and uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) expression in white adipose; however, the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Here, we describe that Lama4 knockout mice (Lama4-/-) exhibit heightened mitochondrial biogenesis and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 (PGC-1) expression in subcutaneous white adipo...

Functions of Membrane Progesterone Receptors (mPRs, PAQRs) in Nonreproductive Tissues
Endocrinology. 2022 Aug 30:bqac147. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqac147. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGender differences in a wide variety of physiological parameters have implicated the ovarian hormones, estrogens and progesterone, in the regulation of numerous nonreproductive tissue functions. Rapid, nongenomic (nonclassical) progesterone actions mediated by membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs), which belong to the progestin and AdipoQ receptor (PAQR) family, have been extensively investigated in reproductive and nonreproductive tissues since their discovery in fish ovaries 20 years ago. The five mPR subtypes (α, β, γ, δ,...

MARK2 and MARK4 regulate Sertoli cell BTB dynamics through microtubule and actin cytoskeletons
Endocrinology. 2022 Aug 12:bqac130. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqac130. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMARKs (microtubule affinity-regulating kinases) are non-receptor Ser/Thr protein kinases known to regulate cell polarity and microtubule dynamics in C. elegans, Drosophila, invertebrates, vertebrates and mammals. An earlier study has shown that MARK4 is present at the ectoplasmic specialization (EC) and blood-testis barrier (BTB) in the seminiferous epithelium of adult rat testes. Here, we report the function of MARK4 and another isoform MARK2 in Sertoli cells at the BTB. Knockdown of MARK2, MARK4 or MARK2 and MARK4 by RNAi using...

PCP protein inversin regulates testis function through changes in cytoskeletal organization of actin and microtubules
Endocrinology. 2022 Feb 1:bqac009. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqac009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInversin is an integrated component of the Frizzled (Fzd)/Dishevelled (Dvl)/Diversin planar cell polarity (PCP) complex that is known to work in concert with the Van Gogh-like protein (e.g., Vangl2)/Prickle PCP complex to support tissue and organ development including the brain, kidney, pancreas and others. However, with the exception of Dvl3 and Vangl2, other PCP proteins have not been investigated in the testis. Herein, we used the technique of RNAi to examine the role of inversin (Invs) in Sertoli cell and testis function by co...
