Impaired SUMOylation of nuclear receptor LRH-1 promotes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Kristina Schoonjans, Pan Xu, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer

Hepatic steatosis is caused by metabolic imbalances that could be explained in part by an increase in de novo lipogenesis that results from increased sterol element binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) activity. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) ...

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

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

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 ...

Hepatic glucose sensing and integrative pathways in the liver

Kristina Schoonjans, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer

The hepatic glucose-sensing system is a functional network of enzymes and transcription factors that is critical for the maintenance of energy homeostasis and systemic glycemia. Here we review the recent literature on its components and metabolic actions. ...

SUMOylation-Dependent LRH-1/PROX1 Interaction Promotes Atherosclerosis by Decreasing Hepatic Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Dongryeol Ryu, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Xu Wang, Chikage Mataki, Pan Xu, Keir Joe Menzies, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is an antiatherogenic process in which excessive cholesterol from peripheral tissues is transported to the liver and finally excreted from the body via the bile. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) driv ...

TGR5 Activation Inhibits Atherosclerosis by Reducing Macrophage Inflammation and Lipid Loading

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols, Taoufiq Harach, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 has been identified as an important component of the bile acid signaling network, and its activation has been linked to enhanced energy expenditure and improved glycemic control. Here, we demonstrate that activation of T ...
