Iron uptake mediated by TFRC and secretion of transferrin types stimulate thermogenic activation in human adipocytes
2025-11-26
Abstract excerpt
Adrenergic-driven thermogenic activation of brown adipose tissue requires high amounts of nutrients including iron supporting mitochondrial biogenesis. This was governed by rapid gene expression changes in human cervical-derived brown adipocytes. Transferrin receptor 1 (TFRC) was strongly upregulated in response to dibutyryl-cAMP. Pharmacological inhibition and siRNA-mediated knockdown of TFRC during adrenergic st...
