doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0172721

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Expression of Rnf145 was evaluated in the indicated mouse tissues by qPCR. Bars indicate mean ± SD (n = 3) ( B , C ) The indicated ( B ) human and ( C ) mouse cell lines and primary macrophages were cultured in lipoprotein-depletion medium for 16 hours and subsequently treated for 6 hours with 1μM GW3965 (GW). ( D ) THP1 cells were cultured in sterol depletion medium for 16 hrs and then treated with 1μM GW3965 (GW) and 100nM LG100268 (LG) for 6 hrs as indicated.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) LXR ChIP-seq experiments in human THP1 cells (GSE28319) and RAW macrophage-like cells (GSE50944) were analyzed and used to identify active LXREs within the Rnf145/Rnf145 loci, as graphically illustrated. ( B , C ) Genomic location of the identified LXREs. In bold, nucleotides that were mutated to disrupt LXR binding ( C ) A 1kb genomic region upstream of the transcriptional start site of hRNF145 was cloned into a pGL3basic. The putative LXRE was also mutated as indicated above. The empty, RNF145 WT , RNF145 MUT , and ABCA1 reporter plasmids were co-transfected with or without RXRα and LXRα expression plasmids in HEK 293T cells. 24 hours post-transfection the cells were treated with 1μM GW3965 (LXR) and 100nM LG100268 (RXR) for 24 hours and measured for luciferase signal (n≥3). ( D ) Cells were transfected with an empty or a tandem LXRE-containing pGL2 as in C . In all luciferase experiments the transfection efficiency was normalized to co-transfected Renilla luciferase. Bars report normalized chemiluminescence relative to untreated control ± SD (n = 3).

Article Title: SIRT3 deficiency exacerbates fatty liver by attenuating the HIF1α-LIPIN 1 pathway and increasing CD36 through Nrf2

doi: 10.1186/s12964-020-00640-8

Figure Lengend Snippet: Potential new mechanisms by which Sirt3 deficiency promotes hepatic steatosis in mice fed a HFD. Exposure to a HFD reduces Sirt3 and contributes to triglyceride accumulation in the liver. However, hepatic lipid accumulation is attenuated by the activation of an adaptive mechanism involving an increase in nuclear HIF-1α and Lipin 1. Longer exposures to a HFD exacerbates Sirt3 decrease leading to higher uptake of lipids through an Nrf-2 mediated increase in CD36 and VLDLR. This results in a higher increase in fatty acid accumulation, which in turn reduces succinate levels, ultimately suppressing the adaptive increase in HIF-1α and Lipin 1. FAO: Fatty acid oxidation
