Hepatic PEMT Expression Decreases with Increasing NAFLD Severity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Choline deficiency causes hepatic fat accumulation, and is associated with a higher risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and more advanced NAFLD-related hepatic fibrosis. Reduced expression of hepatic phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), which catalyzes the production of phosphatidylcholine, causes steatosis, inflammation ...

PEMT Mediates Hepatitis C Virus-Induced Steatosis, Explains Genotype-Specific Phenotypes and Supports Virus Replication

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) relies on cellular lipid pathways for virus replication and also induces liver steatosis, but the mechanisms involved are not clear. We performed a quantitative lipidomics analysis of virus-infected cells by combining high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and mass spectrometry, using an established HCV cell ...

Aberrant Estrogen Regulation of PEMT Results in Choline Deficiency-associated Liver Dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
When dietary choline is restricted, most men and postmenopausal women develop multiorgan dysfunction marked by hepatic steatosis (choline deficiency syndrome (CDS)). However, a significant subset of premenopausal women is protected from CDS. Because hepatic PEMT (phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase) catalyzes de novo biosynthesis of choline ...

A study of the PEMT gene in schizophrenia

Neuroscience Letters, 2007
The phospholipid hypothesis of schizophrenia is becoming popular because of the findings from the niacin flush test, the treatment with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), biochemical studies for the phospholipid metabolism pathway and genetic studies of phospholipase A2.

Choline Deficiency–Induced Liver Damage Is Reversible in Pemt−/− Mice

Journal of Nutrition, 2002
Hepatic tissue has two pathways for phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, i.e., the cytidinediphosphocholine (CDP-choline) pathway and the methylation pathway, which utilizes phosphatidylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PEMT). Fatal liver damage occurs in Pemt(-/-)mice fed a choline-deficient (CD) diet.

Hepatic PEMT activity mediates liver health, weight gain, and insulin resistance

FASEB Journal, 2019
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) N ‐methyltransferase (PEMT) accounts for ∼30% of hepatic phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis. Pemt −/− mice fed a high‐fat diet ...

An infra-red study of conformational changes occurring during the drawing of PEMT, PET and PEMT/PET copolymer

Polymer, 1992
Abstract An i.r. study has been made of the conformational transitions which accompany the tensile drawing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and the non-crystallizing polyesters, poly(ethylene methyl terephthalate) (PEMT) and a 60 40 PEMT/PET copolymer.

PEMT Variants are Associated with Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip with or without Cleft Palate in Chile

Epigenomics, 2022
Aim: To assess the association between PEMT variants and nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in Chile and the effects of these variants on global DNA methylation. Subjects & methods: The authors obtained genotypes for nine variants from 247 cases and 453 controls for genotype-phenotype associations.

Association between PEMT rs7946 and blood pressure levels in Chinese adolescents

Blood Pressure Monitoring
Objectives This study was to explore blood pressure levels in Chinese adolescents with different genotypes of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) gene (PEMT) rs7946, as well as effects of dietary intake on blood pressure levels with different genders and different genotypes of PEMT rs7946.

Choline in cystic fibrosis: relations to pancreas insufficiency, enterohepatic cycle, PEMT and intestinal microbiota

European Journal of Nutrition, 2020
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder with life-threatening organ manifestations. 87% of CF patients develop exocrine pancreas insufficiency, frequently starting in utero and requiring lifelong pancreatic enzyme substitution. 99% develop progressive lung disease, and 20-60% CF-related liver disease, from mild steatosis to cirrhosis ...
