Adipose tissue-specific Yap knockout exacerbates diet-induced obesity through suppression of lipolysis
Background and aims
YAP regulates various cellular processes, including cell contact inhibition, mechanotransduction, cell differentiation and proliferation, apoptosis, and cancer progression. Although YAP suppresses adipogenesis in vitro, its role in obesity has not yet been completely elucidated.
Methods and results
In this study, we generated an adipose tissue-specific Yap knockout mouse model (YapaKO), and found that male, but not female, YapaKO mice showed an enhanced high-fat diet-induced obesity phenotype compared to control mice. Mechanistically, this effect is potentially due to suppressed lipolytic activity, which results from the decreased expression of triglyceride lipolytic enzymes, including ATGL and HSL. The inhibition of lipolytic activity led to reduced levels of circulating free fatty acids during fasting, making male mice unable to maintain core body temperature after cold exposure and showing impaired exercise capability in the fasted state. This study reveals a novel role of YAP in controlling lipolysis.
Conclusion
YAP is a physiological regulator of lipolysis in the adipose tissue. YAP activation in adipose tissue may facilitate lipolysis and reduce obesity.

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology was established in 1974 to meet the demand for integrated publication on all aspects related to the genetic and biochemical effects, synthesis and secretions of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) and to the understanding of cellular regulatory mechanisms involved in hormonal control.
