Mst1 regulates hepatic lipid metabolism by inhibiting Sirt1 ubiquitination in mice.

چکیده
Previous study showed mammalian Ste20-like kinase (Mst1) may serve as target for the development of new therapies for diabetes. However, the function of Mst1 involved in liver lipid metabolism has remained elusive. In this study, we report that the liver of Mst1 knockout (Mst1(-/-)) mice showed more severe liver metabolic damage under fasting and high-fat diet than that of control mice. And fasting induced hepatic Mst1 expression. Mst1 overexpression inhibited Srebp-1c expression and increased the expression of antioxidant genes in primary hepatocytes. We also found that fasting-induced expression of hepatic Sirt1 was attenuated in Mst1(-/-) mice. Mst1 overexpression promoted Sirt1 expression, probably due to inhibiting Sirt1 ubiquitination. In summary, our study suggests that Mst1 regulates hepatic lipid metabolism by inhibiting Sirt1 ubiquitination in mice.

α-Mangostin Regulates Hepatic Steatosis and Obesity through SirT1-AMPK and PPARγ Pathways in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice.
Previous studies have shown that α-mangostin (α-MG) suppresses intracellular fat accumulation and stimulation of lipolysis in in vitro systems. Together with the relatively high distribution of α-MG in liver and fat, these observations made it possible to propose a plausible hypothesis that an α-MG supplement may regulate hepatic steatosis and obesity. An α-MG supplement (50 mg/kg) reduced the ...
متن کاملFasting-dependent glucose and lipid metabolic response through hepatic sirtuin 1.
In the fasted state, induction of hepatic glucose output and fatty acid oxidation is essential to sustain energetic balance. Production and oxidation of glucose and fatty acids by the liver are controlled through a complex network of transcriptional regulators. Among them, the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1alpha plays an important role in hepatic and systemic glucose and lipid metabolism. We...
متن کاملCelastrol ameliorates liver metabolic damage caused by a high-fat diet through Sirt1
OBJECTIVE Celastrol was recently identified as a potential novel treatment for obesity. However, the effect of Celastrol on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains elusive. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of Celastrol in NAFLD. METHODS Functional studies were performed using wild-type C57BL/6J (WT) mice and liver specific Sirt1-deficient (LKO) mice. The molecular mechan...
متن کاملEthanol administration exacerbates the abnormalities in hepatic lipid oxidation in genetically obese mice.
Alcohol consumption synergistically increases the risk and severity of liver damage in obese patients. To gain insight into cellular or molecular mechanisms underlying the development of fatty liver caused by ethanol-obesity synergism, we have carried out animal experiments that examine the effects of ethanol administration in genetically obese mice. Lean wild-type (WT) and obese (ob/ob) mice w...
متن کاملSirt1 and Sirt6 Mediate Beneficial Effects of Rosiglitazone on Hepatic Lipid Accumulation
BACKGROUND Sirtuin (Sirt), a sensor of the cell metabolic state, regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to address whether rosiglitazone (RGZ) alters hepatic Sirt1 and whether Sirt1 and/or Sirt6 have a regulatory role in the protective effects of RGZ on hepatocyte steatosis. METHODS To investigate the effect of RGZ on hepatic Sirt1, rats were administered with RGZ f...
