Abstract

Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a predominantly cytosolic protein of the adipocytes, but also abundantly present in human plasma; its plasma concentrations were linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Recent studies have suggested a direct extracellular effect of FABP4 in the regulation of glucose metabolism and heart function independently of its effect as a carrier protein. Interestingly, FABP4 has no secretory signal sequence; hence, the mechanisms how FABP4 is released from adipocytes are unclear. In this study we investigated the mechanisms for FABP4 secretion from human adipocytes by using isolated primary pre-adipocytes (PAs) and the human adipocyte cell strain Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome. In undifferentiated PAs, FABP4 expression was barely detectable and increased continuously during differentiation. The increase in FABP4 mRNA expression was accompanied by high levels of FABP4 secretion. In differentiated human adipocytes, FABP4 secretion was not abolished by blocking the Golgi-dependent secretory pathway in vitro, supporting a non-classical secretion mechanism for FABP4. However, raising intracellular Ca(2+) levels enhanced FABP4 secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. This study shows that FABP4 i...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
