Journal ArticleDOI

Myc stimulates nuclearly encoded mitochondrial genes and mitochondrial biogenesis

TL;DR: It is found that Myc binds the TFAM gene, which encodes a key transcriptional regulator and mitochondrial DNA replication factor, both in P493-6 lymphocytes with high ectopic MYC expression and in serum-stimulated primary human 2091 fibroblasts with induced endogenous MYC, which supports a pivotal role for Myc in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Induces an Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition State in Mouse Hepatocytes in Vitro

TL;DR: It is shown that TGF-β1 induces an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state in mature hepatocytes in vitro, and a potentially crucial role for EMT in the development and progression of hepatic fibrogenesis is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inositol Pyrophosphates Inhibit Akt Signaling, Thereby Regulating Insulin Sensitivity and Weight Gain

TL;DR: IP7 is a physiologic inhibitor of Akt, a serine/threonine kinase that regulates glucose homeostasis and protein translation, respectively, via the GSK3β and mTOR pathways and may afford a therapeutic approach to obesity and diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta‐analysis: vitamin D and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent condition and emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D may play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD.
