Abstract:Adipose tissue continues to gain appreciation for its broad role as an endocrine organ, and disruptions in adipose tissue homeostasis plays a central role in cardiovascular physiology. We have previously shown that expression of the RNA binding protein HuR in adipose tissue mediates energy expenditure, but the potential cardiovascular impacts of this finding have not been explored. We show here that adipose tissue-specific deletion of HuR (Adipo-HuR-/-) is sufficient to induce the spontaneous development of ca… Show more
