IGFBP-1 hyperphosphorylation in response to leucine deprivation is mediated by the AAR pathway
Publication date: 5 September 2015 Source:Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, Volume 412 Author(s): Niyati Malkani, Thomas Jansson, Madhulika B. Gupta Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) is the key regulator of fetal growth. IGF-I bioavailability is markedly diminished by IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) phosphorylation. Leucine deprivation strongly induces IGFBP-1 hyperphosphorylation, and plays an important role in fetal growth restriction (FGR). FGR is characterized by decreased amino acid availability, which activates the amino acid response (AAR) and inhibits the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. ...

Hyperlipidemia-induced hepassocin in the liver contributes to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle
In conclusion, we elucidated that ER stress induced by palmitate could increase the expression of HPS in hepatocytes and further contribute to the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle via EGFR/JNK-mediated pathway. Taken together, we suggest that HPS could be a therapeutic target for obesity-linked insulin resistance. Graphical abstract

Pulsed electromagnetic fields promote osteoblast mineralization and maturation needing the existence of primary cilia
Publication date: 15 March 2015 Source:Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, Volume 404 Author(s): Juan-Li Yan , Jian Zhou , Hui-Ping Ma , Xiao-Ni Ma , Yu-Hai Gao , Wen-Gui Shi , Qing-Qing Fang , Qian Ren , Cory J. Xian , Ke-Ming Chen Although pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been approved as a therapy for osteoporosis, action mechanisms and optimal parameters are elusive. To determine the optimal intensity, exposure effects of 50 Hz PEMFs of 0.6–3.6 mT (0.6 interval at 90 min/day) were investigated on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of cultured calvarial osteoblasts. All intensity groups sti...

Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 4 mediates apoptosis via endoplasmic reticulum stress in mesangial cells of diabetic nephropathy
Publication date: 15 August 2015 Source:Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, Volume 411 Author(s): Fang Yao , Zhen Li , Takashi Ehara , Lin Yang , Dandan Wang , Lulu Feng , Yiming Zhang , Kun Wang , Yonghong Shi , Huijun Duan , Lianshan Zhang Type 2 diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia and deregulated lipid metabolism with increased plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Apoptosis of glomerular cells is a hallmark in diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), a carrier protein for fatty acids, has been linked to diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (DN). Here we aimed to investigate the lin...

Expression, regulation and function of Hmgn3 during decidualization in mice
Publication date: 15 September 2015 Source:Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, Volume 413 Author(s): Dang-Dang Li, Chuan-Hui Guo, Liang Yue, Cui-Cui Duan, Zhan-Qing Yang, Hang Cao, Bin Guo, Zhan-Peng Yue Although Hmgn3 is involved in the regulation of development and cellular differentiation, its physiological roles on decidualization are still unknown. Here we showed that Hmgn3 was highly expressed in the decidua and decidualizing stromal cells. Overexpression of Hmgn3 variants, Hmgn3a or Hmgn3b, enhanced the expression of decidualization markers Prl8a2 and Prl3c1, whereas inhibition of Hmgn3 reduced their exp...

Rosiglitazone inhibition of calvaria-derived osteoblast differentiation is through both of PPARγ and GPR40 and GSK3β-dependent pathway
This study aims to investigate the effects of RSG on differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts using primary cultured mouse fetal calvaria-derived osteoblasts as a model, and elucidate the receptor and signaling pathways responsible for these effects. We found that RSG suppressed the differentiation and mineralization of calvaria-derived osteoblasts. Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) siRNA significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of RSG on osteogenic differentiation. The expression of G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40 was suppressed during differentiation, but was increased by RSG treatm...

Epidermal Growth Factor: Porcine Uterine Luminal Epithelial Cell Migratory Signal during the Peri-implantation Period of Pregnancy
Publication date: Available online 24 November 2015 Source:Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology Author(s): Wooyoung Jeong, Seoungo Jung, Fuller W. Bazer, Gwonhwa Song, Jinyoung Kim The majority of early conceptus mortality in pregnancy occurs during the peri-implantation period, suggesting that this period is important for conceptus viability and the establishment of pregnancy. Successful establishment of pregnancy in all mammalian species depends on the orchestrated molecular events that transpire at the conceptus-uterine interface during the peri-implantation period of pregnancy. This maternal-conceptus interactio...

Melatonin enhances arsenic trioxide-induced cell death via sustained upregulation of Redd1 expression in breast cancer cells
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2015 Source:Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology Author(s): Sun-Mi Yun, Sang Hyeok Woo, Sang Taek Oh, Sung-Eun Hong, Tae-Boo Choe, Sang-Kyu Ye, Eun-Kyu Kim, Min Ki Seong, Hyun-A Kim, Woo Chul Noh, Jin Kyung Lee, Hyeon-Ok Jin, Yun-Han Lee, In-Chul Park Melatonin is implicated in various physiological functions, including anticancer activity. However, the mechanism(s) of its anticancer activity is not well understood. In the present study, we investigated the combined effects of melatonin and arsenic trioxide (ATO) on cell death in human breast cancer cells. Mela...

Estrogen receptor beta signaling inhibits PDGF induced human airway smooth muscle proliferation
In this study, we evaluated the effect of selective ERα and ERβ modulators on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated ASM proliferation and the mechanisms involved. Asthmatic and non-asthmatic primary human ASM cells were treated with PDGF, 17β-estradiol, ERα-agonist and/or ERβ-agonist and/or G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 30 (GPR30/GPER) agonist and proliferation was measured using MTT and CyQuant assays followed by cell cycle analysis. Transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) ERα and ERβ significantly altered the human ASM proliferation. The specificity of siRNA transfection was confirmed by Wes...
