There is a correlation between obesity and the amount of brown adipose tissue; however, the molecular mechanism of brown adipogenic differentiation has not been as extensively studied. In this study, we performed a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) profiling analysis during the brown adipogenic differentiation of mouse primary brown preadipocytes. Several PTPs, including PTPRF, PTPRZ, and DUSP12 showing differential expression patterns were identified. In the case of DUSP12, the expression level is dramatically downregulated during brown adipogenesis. The ectopic expression of DUSP12 using a retroviral expression system induces the suppression of adipogenic differentiation, whereas a catalytic inactive DUSP12 mutant showed no effect on differentiation. These results suggest that DUSP12 is involved in brown adipogenic differentiation and may be used as a target protein for the treatment or prevention of obesity by the regulation of brown adipogenic differentiation.

A previous study on a yeast protein tyrosine phosphatase, YPTP1, using synthetic phosphotyrosine-containing peptides with various sequences as substrates revealed that DADEpYDA exhibits high affinity ($K_m=4{\mu}M$) toward the enzyme. A modified version of this peptide, GDADEpmFDA, immobilized on a resin, was used in this study as an affinity ligand for the purification of YPTP1. Phosphonomethyl-phenylalanine (pmF) was used as a nonhydrolyzable analog of the phosphotyrosine (pY) residue, with properties similar to pY. A protected form of pmF, $Fmoc-pmF(^{t}Bu)_{2}-OH$, was chemically synthesized and introduced during solid-phase peptide sythesis. YPTP1 was onrexpressed in an E. coli strain carrying a plasmid pT7-7-ptpl. Affinity chromatography of the crude lysate afforded PTPI (39 kDa) of about 50% purity.

2-deoxy-D-glucose(2DG)-caused endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibits protein phosphorylation at tyrosine residues. However, the accurate regulatory mechanisms, which determine the inflammatory response of chondrocytes to ER stress via protein tyrosine phosphorylation, have not been systematically evaluated. Thus, in this study, we examined whether protein phosphorylation at tyrosine residues can modulate the expression and glycosylation of COX-2, which is reduced by 2DG-induced ER stress. We observed that protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors, sodium orthovanadate (SOV), and phenylarsine oxide (PAO) significantly decreased expression of ER stress inducible proteins, glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94), and CCAAT/ enhancer-binding-protein- related gene (GADD153), which was induced by 2DG. In addition, we demonstrated that SOV and PAO noticeably restored the expression and glycosylation of COX-2 after treatment with 2DG. These results suggest that protein phosphorylation of tyrosine residues plays an important role in the regulation of expression and glycosylation during 2DG-induced ER stress in rabbit articular chondrocytes.
