Abstract
Background Differentiation of Immortalized Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells - hTERT (iMSC3) into adipocytes is in vitro model of obesity. In our earlier study, rosiglitazone enhanced adipogenesis particularly the brown adipogenesis of iMSC3. In this study, the transcriptomic profiles of iMSC3 derived adipocytes with and without rosiglitazone were analyzed through mRNA sequencing. Results A total of 1508 genes were differentially expressed between iMSC3 and the derived adipocytes without rosiglitazone treatment. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that rosiglitazone regulates PPAR and PI3K-Akt pathways. The constant rosiglitazone treatment enhanced the expression of Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 (FABP4) which enriched GO terms such as fatty acid binding, lipid droplet, as well as white and brown fat cell differentiation. Moreover, the constant treatment upregulated several lipid droplets (LDs) associated proteins such as PLIN1. Rosiglitazone also activated the receptor complex PTK2B that has essential roles in beige adipocytes thermogenic program. Several uniquely expressed novel regulators of brown adipogenesis were also expressed in adipocytes derived with rosiglitazone: PRDM16, ZBTB16, HOXA4, and KLF15 in addition to other uniquely expressed genes. Conclusions Rosiglitazone regulated several differentially regulated genes and non-coding RNAs that warrant further investigation about their roles in adipogenesis particularly brown adipogenesis.

Integrative Analysis of the IQ Motif-Containing GTPase-Activating Protein Family Indicates That the IQGAP3-PIK3C2B Axis Promotes Invasion in Colon Cancer. Onco Targets Ther 2020; 13:8299-8311.

Abstract
Background Colon cancer (CRC) is a common type of tumour, and IQGAP family proteins play an important role in many tumours. However, their roles in CRC remain unclear. Methods First, we searched many public databases to comprehensively analyze expression of IQGAPs in CRC. Next, real-time PCR, immunohistochemical (IHC), transwell, siRNA transfection and Western blot assays were used to evaluate relationships among IQGAP3 expression, clinical pathological parameters and CRC prognosis, and the underlying molecular mechanism was investigated. Results IQGAP3 was elevated in CRC tissues, whereas there was no significant change in expression of IQGAP1 or IQGAP2. Additionally, IQGAP3 expression in CRC tissues was associated with tumour progression, invasion and poor prognosis. In mechanistic studies, we found that IQGAP3 was positively coexpressed with PIK3C2B. In an in vitro assay, the PIK3C2B expression level was increased after exogenous overexpression of IQGAP3, resulting in the promotion of cell invasion, which was blocked by pretransfecting cells with PIK3C2B siRNA. Furthermore, we found that high expression of IQGAP3 and PIK3C2B correlated with tumour stage and vessel invasion in human CRC, whereby patients with high expression of both in tumours had a worse prognosis compared with patients with single-positive or double-negative tumours. Conclusion The results of our current study and corresponding previous studies provide evidence that IQGAP3 is elevated in CRC and promotes colon cancer growth and metastasis by regulating PIK3C2B activation.
