- W3157649173 abstract "Abstract Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a major complication of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome has emerged as a leading cause of chronic liver disease and a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. Autophagy is a critical pathway for the degradation of intracellular components by lysosomes. Established functions for autophagy in hepatic lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity suggest a mechanistic link between altered autophagy and NASH. However, the interactions between insulin sensitivity, NASH, and autophagy are incompletely understood. The Unc-51 Like Autophagy Activating Kinase 1 (ULK1) is the only serine/threonine kinase in the core autophagy pathway and thus represents an excellent drug target. In this study, we observed that ULK1 may directly regulate insulin signaling and lipid metabolism via mechanisms that might involve modulation of AKT dephosphorylation. Surprisingly, silencing ULK1 did not significantly alter autophagy in hepatocytes despite impairing insulin-stimulated activation of AKT. To further elucidate the autophagy-independent role of ULK1 in hepatic lipid metabolism and insulin action, ULK1 liver-specific knock-out mice were generated. L-ULK1 KO mice exhibited impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance on a normal chow diet or 60% high-fat diet (HFD). In young mice (4 weeks after birth), the expression of genes that regulate de novo lipogenesis, such as FAS, SCD1, and SREBP1-c were induced in livers of L-ULK1KO mice even prior to the development of insulin resistance and obesity. Hepatomegaly and lipid accumulation developed in L-ULK1KO on normal chow and was exacerbated relative to wild type mice on a HFD. Serum concentrations of insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, AST and ALT were significantly increased. In contrast, L-ULK2 KO mice were phenotypically normal. To identify putative novel ULK1 targets, we conducted a phospho-proteomics screen in a ULK1 deficient hepatocyte cell line. We identified a relatively small number of novel proteins whose phosphorylation levels were reduced by ULK1 deficiency. The identification of these targets supports autophagy-independent mechanisms of action of ULK1. Recently, we confirmed that NCOA3, one of the targets regulates hepatic lipid metabolism by interacting directly with ULK1. These data suggest that ULK-1 may regulate cellular targets that regulate hepatic lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity." @default.
