Understanding the signaling cascades that govern adipocyte metabolism and differentiation is necessary for development of therapies obesity. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key mediators in adipogenesis, but their specific role not completely understood. In this study, siRNA knockdown Tlr2 3T3-L1 cells allowed them to differentiate more efficiently into adipocytes, whereas opposite was observed Tlr4. At same time, we show TLR2 knock-out mice spontaneously developed mature-onset obesity...

The role of prostaglandin (PG) F2α has been scarcely studied in cancer. We have identified a new function for PGF2α ovarian cancer, stimulating the production Prostate Transmembrane Protein, Androgen Induced 1 (PMEPA1). show that this induction increases cell plasticity and proliferation, enhancing tumor growth through PMEPA1. Thus, PMEPA1 overexpression carcinoma cells, significantly increased proliferation rates, whereas silencing decreased proliferation. In addition, buffered TGFβ...

ABSTRACT Prostaglandin (PG) F 2α has been scarcely studied in cancer. We have identified a new role for PGF ovarian cancer, stimulating the production of TGFβ and consequent induction PMEPA1. show that this increases cell plasticity proliferation, enhancing tumor growth through Thus, PMEPA1 overexpression carcinoma cells, significantly increased proliferation rates, whereas silencing decreased proliferation. In addition, buffered signaling, via reduction SMAD-dependent signaling....
