Inhibition of CERS1 in skeletal muscle exacerbates age-related muscle dysfunction

Johan Auwerx, Olivier Burri, Xiaoxu Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Amélia Lalou, Barbara Moreira Crisol

Age-related muscle wasting and dysfunction render the elderly population vulnerable and incapacitated, while underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we implicate the CERS1 enzyme of the de novo sphingolipid synthesis pathway in the pathogenesis ...

The genetic background shapes the susceptibility to mitochondrial dysfunction and NASH progression

Johan Auwerx, Sandra Rodriguez Lopez, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Alexis Maximilien Bachmann, Jean-David Horacio Morel

Mice from different genetic backgrounds have widely diverse responses to the same metabolic challenges. Only PWK/PhJ mice show significant mitochondrial dysfunction and progression to fibrotic NASH that resembles human NASH. The PWK/PhJ strain is a novel N ...

Mitochondrial and NAD plus metabolism predict recovery from acute kidney injury in a diverse mouse population

Johan Auwerx, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Dina Hofer, Yang Li, Alexis Maximilien Bachmann, Jean-David Horacio Morel

Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease are global health issues steadily rising in incidence and prevalence. Animal models on a single genetic background have so far failed to recapitulate the clinical presentation of human nephropathies. Here, we ...

Integrative systems analysis identifies genetic and dietary modulators of bile acid homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Xiaoxu Li, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Hao Li, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Karim Laurent Gariani, Laura Alejandra Velazquez Villegas, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne

Bile acids (BAs) are complex and incompletely understood enterohepatic-derived hormones that control whole-body metabolism. Here, we profiled postprandial BAs in the liver, feces, and plasma of 360 chowor high-fat-diet-fed BXD male mice and demonstrated th ...
