Disease relevance of Cidea

  • Notably, Cidea-null mice are lean and resistant to diet-induced obesity and diabetes [1].
  • However, CIDEA expression was decreased twofold in obese humans and normalized after weight reduction [2].
 

High impact information on Cidea

  • Cidea-null mice had higher metabolic rate, lipolysis in BAT and core body temperature when subjected to cold treatment [1].
  • Conversely, TNF-alpha treatment decreased adipocyte CIDEA expression via the mitogen-activated protein kinase c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase [2].
  • Cell death-inducing DFFA (DNA fragmentation factor-alpha)-like effector A (CIDEA) belongs to a family of proapoptotic proteins that has five known members in humans and mice [2].
  • We investigated CIDEA in adipose tissue of obese and lean humans and mice [2].
  • Human adipocyte depletion of CIDEA by RNA interference stimulated lipolysis and increased TNF-alpha secretion by a posttranscriptional effect [2].
 

Biological context of Cidea

 

Other interactions of Cidea

  • We conclude that Cidea is a novel target gene for both PPARalpha and -gamma in the liver where these two transcription factors utilize the same PPRE region for dual regulation [3].
