Fibroblast growth factor 21 reverses hepatic steatosis, increases energy expenditure, and improves insulin sensitivity in diet-induced obese miceJing Xu
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen, Thousand Oaks, California, USA
Diabetes 58:250-9. 2009..The aims of the current study are to evaluate the role of FGF21 in energy metabolism and to provide mechanistic insights into its glucose and lipid-lowering effects in a high-fat diet-induced obesity (DIO) model...
Acute glucose-lowering and insulin-sensitizing action of FGF21 in insulin-resistant mouse models--association with liver and adipose tissue effectsJing Xu
Amgen Inc, MS 29 1 A, One Amgen Center Dr, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 297:E1105-14. 2009..We conclude that the acute glucose-lowering and insulin-sensitizing effects of FGF21 are potentially associated with its metabolic actions in liver and adipose tissues...
Lack of overt FGF21 resistance in two mouse models of obesity and insulin resistanceClarence Hale
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen Inc, MS 29 1 A, One Amgen Center Drive, Thousand Oaks, California 91320, USA
Endocrinology 153:69-80. 2012..We conclude that overt FGF21 resistance was not evident in the disease models, and increased hepatic FGF21 expression as a result of local metabolic changes is likely a major cause of elevated circulating FGF21 levels...
Understanding the physical interactions in the FGF21/FGFR/β-Klotho complex: structural requirements and implications in FGF21 signalingJunming Yie
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen Inc, One Amgen Center Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, USA
Chem Biol Drug Des 79:398-410. 2012..Taken together, our data suggest that the D1/linker region regulates both the FGF21/FGFR1c and FGFR1c/β-Klotho interaction, and a direct interaction of FGF21 with FGFR1c may be an important step in receptor-mediated FGF21 signaling...
Inhibition of lipolysis may contribute to the acute regulation of plasma FFA and glucose by FGF21 in ob/ob miceXiaofan Li
Amgen Inc, 1120 Veterans Blvd, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA
FEBS Lett 583:3230-4. 2009..These results demonstrate the potential importance of adipocyte lipolysis to the observed acute improvements in plasma parameters...
Long-acting FGF21 has enhanced efficacy in diet-induced obese mice and in obese rhesus monkeysMurielle M Veniant
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen Inc, One Amgen Center Drive, Thousand Oaks, California 91320, USA
Endocrinology 153:4192-203. 2012..In conclusion, in more than one species, Fc-FGF21(RG) chronically administered once a week showed similar or greater efficacy than hrFGF21 administered daily...
FGF21 promotes metabolic homeostasis via white adipose and leptin in miceMurielle M Veniant
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen Inc, Thousand Oaks, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 7:e40164. 2012..Together these data suggest that adipose tissue is required for the triglyceride and glucose, but not the cholesterol lowering efficacy of FGF21, and that leptin and FGF21 exert additive anti-diabetic effects in Tg mice...
FGF21 N- and C-termini play different roles in receptor interaction and activationJunming Yie
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen Inc, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, USA
FEBS Lett 583:19-24. 2009..These data demonstrate that the C-terminus of FGF21 is critical for binding to beta-Klotho and the N-terminus is critical for fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) activation...
Rationale-Based Engineering of a Potent Long-Acting FGF21 Analog for the Treatment of Type 2 DiabetesRandy Hecht
Department of Protein Sciences, Amgen Inc, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA
PLoS ONE 7:e49345. 2012..In summary, we engineered a potent and efficacious long-acting FGF21 analog with a favorable pharmaceutical property for potential clinical development...
An acyl-ghrelin-specific neutralizing antibody inhibits the acute ghrelin-mediated orexigenic effects in miceShu Chen Lu
Department of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen Inc, One Amgen Center Dr, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, USA
Mol Pharmacol 75:901-7. 2009..The lack of long-term effects on body weight control by 33A suggests that compensatory mechanisms may contribute to the regulation of energy balance...
Co-receptor requirements for fibroblast growth factor-19 signalingXinle Wu
Amgen Inc, South San Francisco, California 94080, USA
J Biol Chem 282:29069-72. 2007..These results suggest that a functional FGF19 receptor may consist of FGF receptor (FGFR) and heparan sulfate complexed with either alphaKlotho or betaKlotho...
BicaudalD actively regulates microtubule motor activity in lipid droplet transportKristoffer S Larsen
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California, USA
PLoS ONE 3:e3763. 2008..Nonetheless, it is widely believed that BicD may act to tether dynein to cargos. Here we use a combination of biophysical and biochemical studies to investigate BicD's role in lipid droplet transport during Drosophila embryogenesis...
