简介:AbstractObjective:Rubicon is an inhibitory interacting protein of the autophagy-related protein Uvrag. We previously showed that Rubicon deficiency promotes autophagic flux in vivo and that autophagy can degrade lipid droplets. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Rubicon deficiency on fasting-induced hepatic steatosis.Methods:Two-month-old wild-type (WT) and Rubicon-deficient mice were subjected to feeding or fasting for 24 hours to induce hepatic steatosis. The distribution of liver lipid droplets was revealed by oil red O staining. Hepatic and plasma triglyceride, non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), and cholesterol levels were detected using commercially available kits. Real-time reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the mRNA expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in the liver. Western blot was conducted to assess autophagy-related protein levels in the liver. The animal experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.Results:We showed that under fasting conditions, Rubicon-deficient mice had more lipid droplets in the liver than WT controls. Consistent with these results, the hepatic triglyceride, NEFA, and cholesterol levels in fasted Rubicon-deficient mice were significantly higher than those of fasted WT controls. The levels of SREBP-1, a key regulator of lipid synthesis, were significantly lower in livers from fasted WT mice than those of fed WT mice. However, the decrease in SREBP-1 in fasted mice was attenuated by Rubicon deficiency. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the fasting-induced increase in autophagic flux was amplified by Rubicon deficiency. Finally, we showed that Rubicon deficiency in mice led to elevated plasma triglyceride and NEFA acid levels under fasting conditions.Conclusion:Rubicon deficiency exacerbates fasting-induced hepatic steatosis in mice.

简介:AbstractFibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a fasting or stress inducible metabolic hormone produced mainly in the liver. It plays important roles in regulating both glucose and lipid homeostasis via interacting with a heterodimeric receptor complex comprising FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) and β-klotho (KLB). For the past decade, great effort has been made on developing FGF21 derivatives or specific FGF21 receptor agonists into therapeutic agents for various metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and more importantly, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here we have reviewed FGF21 gene and protein structures, its expression pattern, cellular signaling cascades that mediate FGF21 production and function. We have then summarized the six clinical trials utilizing four FGF21 analogues. Finally, two recent literatures on the development of GLP-1 and FGF21 dual agonists were presented briefly.
