The Metabolic Syndrome-Associated Small G Protein ARL15 Plays a Role in Adipocyte Differentiation and Adiponectin Secretion

This study found that the expression of the protein SOX2 is associated with the potential for beige adipocyte formation and adipocyte plasticity in both human and mouse models.

This research found that human adipose stem cells maintained their immaturity and potential to differentiate into beige adipocytes in an endothelial growth medium, correlating with increased SOX2 expression linked to beige and brown adipocyte activation.

This study found that in mice, knockout of Rac1 and Rac3 in keratinocytes led to reduced white adipose tissue and revealed Rac-dependent paracrine pathways affecting pre-adipocyte differentiation.

This study found that TAZ promotes adipogenesis in goat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by enhancing PI3K/AKT pathway activity, with overexpression boosting adipocyte formation and knockdown inhibiting it.

This review summarizes existing literature on PDGF's role in adipose-derived stem cells, highlighting PDGFRβ's functions in inhibiting white adipocyte differentiation and promoting proliferation and angiogenesis.
