A lysosomal surveillance response to stress extends healthspan

Johan Auwerx, Yang Li, Wen Gao, Xiaoxu Li, Amélia Lalou, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Qi Wang, Jia Liu

Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles central for the degradation of macromolecules to maintain cellular homoeostasis and health. However, how lysosomal activity can be boosted to counteract ageing and ageing-related diseases remains elusive. Here we reveal ...

ACMSD inhibition corrects fibrosis, inflammation, and DNA damage in MASLD/MASH

Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Sandra Rodriguez Lopez, Qi Wang, Jia Liu, Keno Strotjohann

Background & Aims: Recent findings reveal the importance of tryptophan-initiated de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthesis in the liver, a process previously considered secondary to biosynthesis from nicotinamide. The enzyme α-amino-β-carb ...

Lysosomes mediate the mitochondrial UPR via mTORC1-dependent ATF4 phosphorylation

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Yang Li, Wen Gao, Xiaoxu Li, Qi Wang

Lysosomes are central platforms for not only the degradation of macromolecules but also the integration of multiple signaling pathways. However, whether and how lysosomes mediate the mitochondrial stress response (MSR) remain largely unknown. Here, we demo ...

Sphingolipids accumulate in aged muscle, and their reduction counteracts sarcopenia

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Peiling Luan, Davide D'Amico, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Qi Wang, Barbara Moreira Crisol

Age-related muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia are major causes of physical incapacitation in older adults and currently lack viable treatment strategies. Here we find that sphingolipids accumulate in mouse skeletal muscle upon aging and that both genetic a ...

TGR5/Cathepsin E signaling regulates macrophage innate immune activation in liver ischemia and reperfusion injury

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Qi Wang

The role and underlying mechanism of plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) in regulating macrophage innate immune activation during liver ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated that T ...
