Molecular competition in G1 controls when cells simultaneously commit to terminally differentiate and exit the cell-cycle

M. L. Zhao, A. Rabiee, K. M. Kovary, Z. Bahrami-Nejad, B. Taylor, M. N. Teruel

The paper shows that in G1 phase, a molecular competition between cyclin D1 and p21 regulates simultaneous commitment to differentiation and cell cycle exit in adipogenesis.

Early enforcement of cell identity by a functional component of the terminally differentiated state

Z. Bahrami-Nejad, T. Chen, S. Tholen, Z.-b. Zhang, A. Rabiee, M. L. Zhao, M. Teruel

The paper shows that FABP4, a core component of mature adipocytes, drives differentiation by forming positive feedback loops with PPARG, enabling irreversible commitment to the adipocyte state.

Loss of adipocyte identity through synergistic repression of PPARγ by TGF-β and mechanical stress

E. Bielczyk-Maczynska, B. Taylor, C. Miller, M. L. Zhao, A. Shah, Z. Bahrami-Nejad, A. Dunn, M. Teruel

The paper shows that TGF-β and mechanical stress together repress PPARγ, causing adipocytes to lose identity and convert into myofibroblasts in a fibrosis model.

Transcription factor dynamics reveals a circadian code for fat cell differentiation

Z. Bahrami-Nejad, M. L. Zhao, S. Tholen, D. Hunerdosse, K. E. Tkach, S. van Schie, M. Chung, M. N. Teruel

The paper shows that pulsatile circadian hormone signals inhibit adipocyte differentiation, while persistent signals promote it, revealing a circadian code for fat cell differentiation.
