The current review provides an update on secreted factors and mechanisms that promote a thermogenic program in beige adipocytes, and their potential roles as therapeutic targets to fight obesity.
We outline recent studies revealing unrecognized mechanisms controlling beige adipocyte physiology, and summarize in particular those that underlie beige thermogenesis independently of classical uncoupling. We also update strategies aimed at fostering beige adipogenesis and white-to beige adipocyte conversion. Finally, we summarize newly identified endogenous secreted factors that promote the thermogenic activation of beige adipocytes and discuss their therapeutic potential.
The identification of novel endogenous factors that promote beiging and regulate beige adipocyte-specific physiological pathways opens up new avenues for therapeutic engineering targeting obesity and related metabolic disorders.
本综述介绍了促进米色脂肪细胞产热程序的分泌因子和机制,及其作为治疗肥胖症靶点的潜在作用。
我们概述了最近的研究揭示了控制米色脂肪细胞生理学的未被识别的机制,并特别总结了那些独立于经典解偶联作用控制米色产热的机制。我们还更新了促进米色脂肪生成和白色脂肪向米色脂肪细胞转化的策略。最后,我们总结了新发现的促进米色脂肪细胞产热的内源性分泌因子,并讨论了它们的治疗潜力。
鉴定出促进米色形成和调节米色脂肪细胞特异性生理途径的新型内源性因子,为靶向肥胖症和相关代谢紊乱的治疗工程开辟了新途径。
