Epigenetic regulation of white adipose tissue plasticity and energy metabolism by nucleosome binding HMGN proteins
26 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
White adipose tissue browning is a key metabolic process controlled by epigenetic factors that facilitate changes in gene expression leading to altered cell identity. We find that male mice lacking the nucleosome binding proteins HMGN1 and HMGN2 (DKO mice), show decreased body weight and inguinal WAT mass, but elevated food intake, WAT browning and energy expenditure. DKO white preadipocytes show reduced...
