Acetyl-CoA Derived from Hepatic Peroxisomal β-Oxidation Inhibits Autophagy and Promotes Steatosis via mTORC1 Activation

TLDR
Peroxisome-derived acetyl-CoA is identified as a key metabolic regulator of autophagy that controls hepatic lipid homeostasis that restricts autophagic degradation of lipids.

Regulation and metabolic functions of mTORC1 and mTORC2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the key discoveries and recent findings on the regulation and metabolic functions of the mTOR complexes, highlighting findings from cancer models but also discuss other examples of mTOR-mediated metabolic reprogramming occurring in stem and immune cells, type 2 diabetes/obesity, neurodegenerative disorders and aging.

FGF21: An Emerging Therapeutic Target for Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Related Metabolic Diseases.

TL;DR: Among this wave of therapeutic mechanisms targeting the underlying pathogenesis of NASH, the hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) holds considerable promise; it decreases liver fat and hepatocyte injury while suppressing inflammation and fibrosis across multiple preclinical studies.

Peroxisomes as cellular adaptors to metabolic and environmental stress.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of molecular mechanisms through which peroxisomes regulate metabolic and environmental stress is presented, and it is shown that other products, such as acetyl-CoA and ether lipids, are also important for metabolic adaptation to stress.

Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—Meta‐analytic assessment of prevalence, incidence, and outcomes

TL;DR: As the global epidemic of obesity fuels metabolic conditions, the clinical and economic burden of NAFLD will become enormous, and random‐effects models were used to provide point estimates of prevalence, incidence, mortality and incidence rate ratios.

AMPK and mTOR regulate autophagy through direct phosphorylation of Ulk1

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism for regulation of the mammalian autophagy-initiating kinase Ulk1, a homologue of yeast ATG1, is demonstrated and a signalling mechanism for UlK1 regulation and autophagic induction in response to nutrient signalling is revealed.

mTOR Signaling in Growth, Metabolism, and Disease.

Robert A. Saxton, +1 more
- 09 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of mTOR function, regulation, and importance in mammalian physiology are reviewed and how the mTOR signaling network contributes to human disease is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy regulates lipid metabolism

TL;DR: A previously unknown function for autophagy in regulating intracellular lipid stores (macrolipophagy) is identified that could have important implications for human diseases with lipid over-accumulation such as those that comprise the metabolic syndrome.
