TRIM8 deficiency and DUSP14 over-expression decreased the level of inflammatory cytokines, increased glucose uptake content, and improved insulin signalling transduction compared to LPS treatment alone.

In the presence of chronic cold stimuli, beige adipocytes are recruited in inguinal WAT to support heat generation. Accumulated evidence has shown that thermogenic execution of brown and beige adipocytes is regulated in a fat depot-specific manner. Recently, we have demonstrated that ubiquitin ligase ring finger protein 20 (RNF20) regulates brown and beige adipocyte thermogenesis through fat-depot-specific modulation. In BAT, RNF20 regulates transcription factor GA-binding protein alpha (GABPα), whereas in inguinal WAT, RNF20 potentiates transcriptional activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) through the degradation of nuclear corepressor 1 (NCoR1). This study proposes the molecular mechanisms by which co-regulator(s) selectively and temporally control transcription factors to coordinate adipose thermogenesis in a fat-depot-specific manner.

Because of adipose's role in so many aspects of human health, there is a critical need for in vitro models that replicate adipose architecture and function. Traditional monolayer models, despite their convenience, are limited, showing heterogeneity and functional differences compared to 3D models. While monolayer cultures struggle with detachment and inefficient differentiation, healthy adipocytes in 3D culture accumulate large lipid droplets, secrete adiponectin, and produce low levels of inflammatory cytokines. The shift from monolayer models to more complex 3D models aims to better replicate the physiology of healthy adipose tissue in culture. This study introduces a simple and accessible protocol for generating adipose organoids using a scaffold-free spheroid model. The method, utilizing either 96-well spheroid plates or agarose micromolds, demonstrates increased throughput, uniformity, and ease of handling compared to previous techniques. This protocol allows for diverse applications, including drug testing, toxin screening, tissue engineering, and co-culturing. The choice between the two methods depends on the experimental goals, with the 96-well plate providing individualized control and the micromold offering scale advantages.
