TLDR
The potent functions of FoxO proteins are tightly controlled by complex signaling pathways under physiological conditions; dysregulation of these proteins may ultimately lead to disease such as cancer.Abstract:
Forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors FoxO1, FoxO3a, FoxO4 and FoxO6, the mammalian orthologs of Caenorhabditis elegans DAF-16, are emerging as an important family of proteins that modulate the expression of genes involved in apoptosis, the cell cycle, DNA damage repair, oxidative stress, cell differentiation, glucose metabolism and other cellular functions. FoxO proteins are regulated by multiple mechanisms. They undergo inhibitory phosphorylation by protein kinases such as Akt, SGK, IKK and CDK2 in response to external and internal stimuli. By contrast, they are activated by upstream regulators such as JNK and MST1 under stress conditions. Their activities are counterbalanced by the acetylases CBP and p300 and the deacetylase SIRT1. Also, whereas polyubiquitylation of FoxO1 and FoxO3a leads to their degradation by the proteasome, monoubiquitylation of FoxO4 facilitates its nuclear localization and augments its transcriptional activity. Thus, the potent functions of FoxO proteins are tightly controlled by complex signaling pathways under physiological conditions; dysregulation of these proteins may ultimately lead to disease such as cancer.read more

Origin and Physiological Roles of Inflammation
TL;DR: This work has shown that tissue stress or malfunction induces an adaptive response that is intermediate between the basal homeostatic state and a classic inflammatory response, which is referred to here as para-inflammation.

Mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle growth and atrophy
TL;DR: Two major protein degradation pathways, the proteasomal and the autophagic–lysosomal pathways, are activated during muscle atrophy and variably contribute to the loss of muscle mass.

Links between metabolism and cancer
TL;DR: The links between metabolism and cancer are multifaceted, spanning from the low incidence of cancer in large mammals with low specific metabolic rates to altered cancer cell metabolism resulting from mutated enzymes or cancer genes.

Sirt3 blocks the cardiac hypertrophic response by augmenting Foxo3a-dependent antioxidant defense mechanisms in mice
Nagalingam R. Sundaresan,Madhu Gupta,Gene Kim,Senthilkumar B. Rajamohan,Ayman Isbatan,Mahesh P. Gupta +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Sirt3 protects the mouse heart by blocking the cardiac hypertrophic response and is an endogenous negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy, which protects hearts by suppressing cellular levels of ROS.

Akt Promotes Cell Survival by Phosphorylating and Inhibiting a Forkhead Transcription Factor
Anne Brunet,Azad Bonni,Michael J. Zigmond,Michael Z. Lin,Peter Juo,Linda Hu,Michael J. Anderson,Karen C. Arden,John Blenis,Michael E. Greenberg +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Akt also regulates the activity of FKHRL1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, which triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene.

TL;DR: One way in which members of the Sir2 family of proteins may increase organismal longevity is by tipping FOXO-dependent responses away from apoptosis and toward stress resistance.

TL;DR: It is shown that in cultured myotubes undergoing atrophy, the activity of the PI3K/AKT pathway decreases, leading to activation of Foxo transcription factors and atrogin-1 induction.

TL;DR: It is proposed that hSir2, the human homolog of the S. cerevisiae Sir2 protein known to be involved in cell aging and in the response to DNA damage, binds and deacetylates the p53 protein with a specificity for its C-terminal Lys382 residue.
