Glucose uptake in muscle cells in response to insulin is a fundamental mechanism for metabolism. The inability of cells to mobilize the specific glucose transporter GLUT4 is believed to be at least partially accountable for diseases, like diabetes, where c ...

Small Heterodimer Partner Deletion Prevents Hepatic Steatosis and When Combined With Farnesoid X Receptor Loss Protects Against Type 2 Diabetes in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) are important regulators of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that global Fxr(-/-) Shp(-/-) double knockout (DKO) mice are refractory to weight gain, gl ...

Plasma Membrane-bound G Protein-coupled Bile Acid Receptor Attenuates Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via the Inhibition of Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling in Mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Xu Wang

The plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) displays varied levels of expression in different tissues. TGR5-induced liver protection has been demonstrated during several liver diseases, except during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I ...

NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Lütolf, Davide D'Amico, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Hongbo Zhang, Keir Joe Menzies, Karim Laurent Gariani, Peiling Luan, Ruedi Aebersold

Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to senescence during aging. We demonstrate the importance of the amount of the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) and its imp ...

Bile acid-FXR alpha pathways regulate male sexual maturation in mice

Kristina Schoonjans

The bile acid receptor Farnesol-X-Receptor alpha (FRX alpha) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. FRX alpha is expressed in the interstitial compartment of the adult testes, which contain the Leydig cells. In adult, short term treatment (12 hou ...

LRH-1-dependent programming of mitochondrial glutamine processing drives liver cancer

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Arnaud Comment, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Norman Lionel Moullan, Emine Can, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu

Various tumors develop addiction to glutamine to support uncontrolled cell proliferation. Here we identify the nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) as a key regulator in the process of hepatic tumorigenesis through the coordination of a noncan ...

Farnesoid X receptor inhibits glucagon-like peptide-1 production by enteroendocrine L cells

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Yasmine Sebti

Bile acids are signalling molecules, which activate the transmembrane receptor TGR5 and the nuclear receptor FXR. BA sequestrants (BAS) complex bile acids in the intestinal lumen and decrease intestinal FXR activity. The BAS-BA complex also induces glucago ...

The Sirt1 activator SRT3025 provides atheroprotection in Apoe(-/-) mice by reducing hepatic Pcsk9 secretion and enhancing Ldlr expression

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Tasneem Arsiwala

The deacetylase sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) exerts beneficial effects on lipid metabolism, but its roles in plasma LDL-cholesterol regulation and atherosclerosis are controversial. Thus, we applied the pharmacological Sirt1 activator SRT3025 in a mouse model of athe ...

Phosphorylation of the nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 by protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) switches its co-repressor targets in the liver

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Adriano Maida

The nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCoR1) is a transcriptional co-regulator that has wide-ranging effects on gene expression patterns. In the liver, NCoR1 represses lipid synthesis in the fasting state, whereas it inhibits the activation of PPARα upon fee ...
