Pax7 Is Required for the Specification of Myogenic Satellite Cells
- P. Seale, L. Sabourin, A. Girgis-Gabardo, A. Mansouri, P. Gruss, M. Rudnicki
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 15 September 2000
The paired box transcription factor Pax7 was isolated by representational difference analysis as a gene specifically expressed in cultured satellite cell-derived myoblasts. In situ hybridization… Expand
Brown and beige fat: development, function and therapeutic potential
Adipose tissue, best known for its role in fat storage, can also suppress weight gain and metabolic disease through the action of specialized, heat-producing adipocytes. Brown adipocytes are located… Expand
PRDM16 controls a brown fat/skeletal muscle switch
- P. Seale, B. Bjork, +11 authors B. Spiegelman
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 21 August 2008
Brown fat can increase energy expenditure and protect against obesity through a specialized program of uncoupled respiration. Here we show by in vivo fate mapping that brown, but not white, fat cells… Expand
Transcriptional control of brown fat determination by PRDM16.
- P. Seale, S. Kajimura, +6 authors B. Spiegelman
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell metabolism
- 11 July 2007
Brown fat cells are specialized to dissipate energy and can counteract obesity; however, the transcriptional basis of their determination is largely unknown. We show here that the zinc-finger protein… Expand
Prdm16 determines the thermogenic program of subcutaneous white adipose tissue in mice.
- P. Seale, Heather M. Conroe, +6 authors B. Spiegelman
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of clinical investigation
- 4 January 2011
The white adipose organ is composed of both subcutaneous and several intra-abdominal depots. Excess abdominal adiposity is a major risk factor for metabolic disease in rodents and humans, while… Expand
Myogenic specification of side population cells in skeletal muscle
- A. Asakura, P. Seale, A. Girgis-Gabardo, M. Rudnicki
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 14 October 2002
Skeletal muscle contains myogenic progenitors called satellite cells and muscle-derived stem cells that have been suggested to be pluripotent. We further investigated the differentiation potential of… Expand
Distinct roles for Pax7 and Pax3 in adult regenerative myogenesis
- S. Kuang, Sophie B. P. Chargé, P. Seale, M. Huh, M. Rudnicki
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 2 January 2006
We assessed viable Pax7 − / − mice in 129Sv/J background and observed reduced growth and marked muscle wasting together with a complete absence of functional satellite cells. Acute injury resulted in… Expand
Transcriptional Control of Preadipocyte Determination by Zfp423
- R. Gupta, Z. Arany, +7 authors B. Spiegelman
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 29 January 2010
The worldwide epidemic of obesity has increased the urgency to develop a deeper understanding of physiological systems related to energy balance and energy storage, including the mechanisms… Expand
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells promote beiging of white adipose tissue and limit obesity
- Jonathan R. Brestoff, B. Kim, +8 authors D. Artis
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 12 March 2015
Obesity is an increasingly prevalent disease regulated by genetic and environmental factors. Emerging studies indicate that immune cells, including monocytes, granulocytes and lymphocytes, regulate… Expand
Wnt Signaling Induces the Myogenic Specification of Resident CD45+ Adult Stem Cells during Muscle Regeneration
- Anna Polesskaya, P. Seale, M. Rudnicki
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 27 June 2003
The observation that CD45(+) stem cells injected into the circulation participate in muscle regeneration raised the question of whether CD45(+) stem cells resident in muscle play a physiological role… Expand
