Fas cell surface death receptor controls hepatic lipid metabolism by regulating mitochondrial function

Johan Auwerx, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders and it tightly associates with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Reduced mitochondrial lipid oxidation contributes to hepatic fatty acid accumulation. Her ...

The therapeutic role of NAD+ modulation in fatty liver disease

Karim Laurent Gariani

NAFLD encompasses a disease spectrum ranging from hepatic steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and finally cirrhosis, which predisposes to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. With no approved pharmacological treatment, NAFLD ...

Role of ACMSD in regulation of NAD+ metabolism and mitochondrial function

Elena Katsyuba

Discovered in the beginning of the 20th century, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has evolved from a simple oxidoreductase cofactor to being an essential cosubstrate for a wide range of regulatory proteins that include most notoriously the sirtuin ...

In situ coupling of Ti2O with rutile TiO2 as a core-shell structure and its photocatalysis performance

Lijie Wang, Peng Zhang

The fabrication of high-performance, low-cost photocatalysis materials, which absorb in the visible-light region, is of significance for their practical applications. A Ti2O@TiO2 (rutile) core-shell structure was fabricated through dehydrogenation and oxid ...

A System for In Vivo Imaging of Hepatic Free Fatty Acid Uptake

Grigory Karateev

Alterations in hepatic free fatty acid (FFA) uptake and metabolism contribute to the development of prevalent liver disorders such as hepatosteatosis. However, detecting dynamic changes in FFA uptake by the liver in live model organisms has proven difficul ...

Measuring changes in substrate utilization in the myocardium in response to fasting using hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]butyrate and [1-(13)C]pyruvate

Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Cardiac dysfunction is often associated with a shift in substrate preference for ATP production. Hyperpolarized (HP) (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has the unique ability to detect real-time metabolic changes in vivo due to its high sensitivit ...

Metabolomics-assisted proteomics identifies succinylation and SIRT5 as important regulators of cardiac function

Johan Auwerx, Zhi Li, Wei Chen, Dongryeol Ryu, Shuo Zhang

Cellular metabolites, such as acyl-CoA, can modify proteins, leading to protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs). One such PTM is lysine succinylation, which is regulated by sirtuin 5 (SIRT5). Although numerous proteins are modified by lysine succiny ...

A rheostat mechanism governs the bifurcation of carbon flux in mycobacteria

Matteo Dal Peraro, John McKinney, Florence Pojer, Giulia Fonti, Paul Murima, Tarun Chopra

Fatty acid metabolism is an important feature of the pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection. Consumption of fatty acids requires regulation of carbon flux bifurcation between the oxidative TCA cycle and the glyoxylate shunt. In Escher ...
