Reduced ech-6 expression attenuates fat-induced lifespan shortening in C. elegans

Deregulated energy homeostasis represents a hallmark of aging and results from complex gene-by-environment interactions. Here, we discovered that reducing the expression of the gene ech-6 encoding enoyl-CoA hydratase remitted fat diet-induced deleterious e ...

V-ATPase/TORC1-mediated ATFS-1 translation directs mitochondrial UPR activation in C. elegans

Felix Naef, Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Hao Li, Yang Li, Wen Gao, Xiaoxu Li, Amélia Lalou, Nagammal Neelagandan, Jia Liu, Yuan Liu

To adapt mitochondrial function to the ever-changing intra- and extracellular environment, multiple mitochondrial stress response (MSR) pathways, including the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), have evolved. However, how the mitochondrial st ...

Macrophage NCOR1 Deficiency Ameliorates Myocardial Infarction and Neointimal Hyperplasia in Mice

Johan Auwerx, Hongwei Zhu, Yan Liu, Yuan Liu, Shuai Shao

Background NCOR1 (nuclear receptor corepressor 1) is an essential coregulator of gene transcription. It has been shown that NCOR1 in macrophages plays important roles in metabolic regulation. However, the function of macrophage NCOR1 in response to myocard ...

Nuclear receptor corepressor 1 represses cardiac hypertrophy

Johan Auwerx, Xu Liu, Chao Li, Jun Wang, Yan Liu, Yuan Liu, Shuai Shao

The function of nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCoR1) in cardiomyocytes is unclear, and its physiological and pathological implications are unknown. Here, we found that cardiomyocyte-specific NCoR1 knockout (CMNKO) mice manifested cardiac hypertrophy at b ...

Tumour exosomal CEMIP protein promotes cancer cell colonization in brain metastasis

Gonçalo Rodrigues, Etienne Meylan, Loïc Steiner, Yuan Liu

The development of effective therapies against brain metastasis is currently hindered by limitations in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving it. Here we define the contributions of tumour-secreted exosomes to brain metastatic colonization ...

Delayed and Temporally Imprecise Neurotransmission in Reorganizing Cortical Microcircuits

Graham Knott, Anne Alison Jorstad, Yan Liu, Yuan Liu

Synaptic neurotransmission is modified at cortical connections throughout life. Varying the amplitude of the postsynaptic response is one mechanism that generates flexible signaling in neural circuits. The timing of the synaptic response may also play a ro ...

Orphan nuclear receptor TR3 acts in autophagic cell death via mitochondrial signaling pathway

Friedrich Beermann, Rong Wu, Li Li, Yi Zhang, Jie Zhang, Qian Zhang, Ang Li, Ping Chen, Bo Zhou, Yuan Liu

Autophagy is linked to cell death, yet the associated mechanisms are largely undercharacterized. We discovered that melanoma, which is generally resistant to drug-induced apoptosis, can undergo autophagic cell death with the participation of orphan nuclear ...
