SUMOylation-Dependent LRH-1/PROX1 Interaction Promotes Atherosclerosis by Decreasing Hepatic Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki, Dongryeol Ryu, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu, Keir Joe Menzies, Alessia Perino, Xu Wang, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is an antiatherogenic process in which excessive cholesterol from peripheral tissues is transported to the liver and finally excreted from the body via the bile. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) driv ...

CREB and ChREBP oppositely regulate SIRT1 expression in response to energy availability

Johan Auwerx, Lilia Noriega Lopez, Jiujiu Yu, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Chikage Mataki, Hiroyasu Yamamoto

The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 is a major metabolic regulator activated by energy stresses such as fasting or calorie restriction. SIRT1 activation during fasting not only relies on the increase in the NAD(+)/NAD ...

Mitochondrial Matrix Calcium Is an Activating Signal for Hormone Secretion

Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki, Andreas Wiederkehr

Mitochondrial Ca2+ signals have been proposed to accelerate oxidative metabolism and ATP production to match Ca2+-activated energy-consuming processes. Efforts to understand the signaling role of mitochondrial Ca2+ have been hampered by the inability to ma ...

Interdependence of AMPK and SIRT1 for Metabolic Adaptation to Fasting and Exercise in Skeletal Muscle

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Chikage Mataki

During fasting and after exercise, skeletal muscle efficiently switches from carbohydrate to lipid as the main energy source to preserve glycogen stores and blood glucose levels for glucose-dependent tissues. Skeletal muscle cells sense this limitation in ...
