The Role of Macrophage Lipophagy in Reverse Cholesterol Transport [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2017
Macrophage cholesterol efflux is a central step in reverse cholesterol transport, which helps to maintain cholesterol homeostasis and to reduce atherosclerosis.

Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus affects lysosomal enzymes in rat liver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It has been previously shown that dextran sulfate administered to diabetic rats accumulates in the liver and kidney, and this could be due to a malfunction of the lysosomal digestive pathway.

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Macrophages During Mycobacterium avium Versus Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Human macrophage transcriptomic responses to Mycobacterium avium (Mav), a major cause of nontuberculous lung disease, were compared to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Both infections activated overlapping immune pathways, including cytokine signaling and GPCRs involved in lipid metabolism, while phospholipases were more strongly regulated by Mav and ...

Autophagy in plants and algae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Autophagy is a major cellular degradation pathway in which materials are delivered to the vacuole in double-membrane vesicles known as autophagosomes, broken down, and recycled (Li and Vierstra, 2012; Liu and Bassham, 2012).

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Low‐dose caffeine administration increases fatty acid utilization and mitochondrial turnover in C2C12 skeletal myotubes

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2020
Caffeine has been shown to directly increase fatty acid oxidation, in part, by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondrial biogenesis is often coupled with mitophagy, the autophagy‐lysosomal degradation of mitochondria.

Loss of the RNA polymerase III repressor MAF1 confers obesity resistance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
MAF1 is a global repressor of RNA polymerase III transcription that regulates the expression of highly abundant noncoding RNAs in response to nutrient availability and cellular stress. Thus, MAF1 function is thought to be important for metabolic economy.

Unraveling Lysosomal Exocytosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiological Functions

open access: yesTraffic, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2026.
Lysosomal exocytosis is propelled by specific molecular mechanisms that direct its microtubule‐dependent transport and subsequent fusion with the plasma membrane. This process fulfills essential physiological functions such as plasma membrane repair, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and participation in signal transduction.

Targeting lipophagy and nuclear receptors in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease: insights from traditional Chinese medicine

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Background: Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) represents a globally prevalent chronic hepatic disorder hallmarked by excessive lipid accumulation within hepatocytes.

PACAP neuropeptide promotes Hepatocellular Protection via CREB-KLF4 dependent autophagy in mouse liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Organ ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), associated with acute hepatocyte death, remains an unresolved problem in clinical orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
