Adipose tissue is a key determinant of whole body metabolism and energy homeostasis. Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms underlying adipogenesis is therefore highly relevant from a biomedical perspective. Our current understanding of fat cell differentiation is centered on the transcriptional cascades driven by the C/EBP protein family and the master regulator PPARγ. To elucidate further components of the adipogenic gene regulatory network, we performed a large-scale transcription factor (TF) screen overexpressing 734 TFs in mouse pre-adipocytes and probed their effect on differentiation. We identified 22 novel pro-adipogenic TFs and characterized the top ranking TF, ZEB1, as being essential for adipogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, its expression levels correlate with fat cell differentiation potential in humans. Genomic profiling further revealed that this TF directly targets and controls the expression of most early and late adipogenic regulators, identifying ZEB1 as a central transcriptional component of fat cell differentiation.

We report the reconstruction of the topology of gene regulatory network in human tissues. The results show that the connectivity of the regulatory gene network is characterized by a scale-free distribution. This result supports the hypothesis that scale-free networks may represent the common blueprint for gene regulatory networks.

Hysteresis is a widely occurring phenomenon. It can be found in a wide variety of natural and constructed systems. Generally, a system is said to exhibit hysteresis when a characteristic looping behavior of the input-output graph is displayed. These loops can be due to a variety of causes. Furthermore, the input-output graphs of periodic inputs at different frequencies are generally identical. Existing definitions of hysteresis are useful in different contexts but fail to fully characterize it. In this paper, a number of different situations exhibiting hysteresis are described and analyzed. The applications described are: an electronic comparator, gene regulatory network, backlash, beam in a magnetic field, a class of smart materials and inelastic springs. The common features of these widely varying situations are identified and summarized in a final section that includes a new definition for hysteresis.
