RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease
RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease. Abstract Background and Aims Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mediates NAFLD progression, but its metabolic function is unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet (LD)

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a globally transmitted mosquito-borne pathogen, and no effective treatment or vaccine is available yet. Lipophagy, a selective autophagy targeting lipid droplets (LDs), is an emerging subject in cellular lipid metabolism and energy ...

The regulatory role of lipophagy in central nervous system diseases
Lipid droplets (LDs) are the organelles for storing neutral lipids, which are broken down when energy is insufficient. It has been suggested that excessive accumulation of LDs can affect cellular function, which is important to coordinate homeostasis of ...

Lipophagy: Selective Catabolism Designed for Lipids [PDF]
Until recently, degradation of lipid droplets (LDs) has been thought to take place in the cytosol by resident lipases. In a recent issue of Nature, Singh and coworkers describe the involvement of selective autophagy in the delivery of lipid droplets for lysosomal degradation.

TAK1-dependent autophagy: A suppressor of fatty liver disease and hepatic oncogenesis. [PDF]
In addition to regulating the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) also upregulates the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy.

Effects of Lipophagy on Atherosclerosis
An excess build-up of lipids in the arterial wall might result into Atherosclerosis. Lipophagy is the autophagic degradation of lipids that regulates the lipid metabolism in various kinds of cells. Lipophagy replaces intracellular lipid which makes it vital for development and progression of atherosclerosis.

Ursolic acid enhances macrophage autophagy and attenuates atherogenesis [PDF]
Macrophage autophagy has been shown to be protective against atherosclerosis. We previously discovered that ursolic acid (UA) promoted cancer cell autophagy.

Emerging Roles of Lipophagy in Cancer Metastasis
Obesity is a prominent risk factor for certain types of tumor progression. Adipocytes within tumor stroma contribute to reshaping tumor microenvironment (TME) and the metabolism and metastasis of tumors through the production of cytokines and adipokines. However, the crosstalk between adipocytes and tumor cells remains a major gap in this field.
