ATGL Promotes Autophagy/Lipophagy via SIRT1 to Control Hepatic Lipid Droplet Catabolism

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Hepatic lipid droplet (LD) catabolism is thought to occur via cytosolic lipases such as adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) or through autophagy of LDs, a process known as lipophagy.

Quercetin enhances fatty acid β-oxidation by inducing lipophagy in AML12 hepatocytes

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Recent evidence demonstrated that chronic intake of quercetin attenuated hepatic fat accumulation in various animal models of obesity and diabetes. However, whether quercetin has the ability to enhance energy metabolism in hepatocytes and its exact ...

Lipid storage and autophagy in melanoma cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cancer stem cells (CSC) represent a key cellular subpopulation controlling biological features such as cancer progression in all cancer types. By using melanospheres established from human melanoma patients, we compared less differentiated melanosphere ...

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Lipophagy deficiency exacerbates ectopic lipid accumulation and tubular cells injury in diabetic nephropathy

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2021
Autophagy-mediated lipotoxicity plays a critical role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), but the precise mechanism is not fully understood. Whether lipophagy, a selective type of autophagy participates in renal ectopic lipid deposition (ELD)

Molecular Events Occurring in Lipophagy and Its Regulation in Flaviviridae Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Diseases caused by Flaviviridae have a wide global and economic impact due to high morbidity and mortality. Flaviviridae infection usually leads to severe, acute or chronic diseases, such as liver injury and liver cancer resulting from hepatitis C virus (

AMPK and vacuole-associated Atg14p orchestrate μ-lipophagy for energy production and long-term survival under glucose starvation

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Dietary restriction increases the longevity of many organisms, but the cell signaling and organellar mechanisms underlying this capability are unclear. We demonstrate that to permit long-term survival in response to sudden glucose depletion, yeast cells ...

The selectivity and specificity of autophagy in drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Autophagy is a process of cellular self-degradation and is a major pathway for elimination of cytoplasmic material by the lysosomes. Autophagy is responsible for the degradation of damaged organelles and protein aggregates and therefore plays a ...

Fatty Acyl Coenzyme A Synthetase Fat1p Regulates Vacuolar Structure and Stationary-Phase Lipophagy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
During yeast stationary phase, a single spherical vacuole (lysosome) is created by the fusion of several small ones. Moreover, the vacuolar membrane is reconstructed into two distinct microdomains.

Lipid droplet-organelle interactions: emerging roles in lipid metabolism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cellular homeostasis depends on the precisely coordinated use of lipids as fuels for energy production, building blocks for membrane biogenesis or chemical signals for intra-cellular and inter-cellular communication.
