The goal of this study was to characterize phosphorylated proteins and to evaluate the changes in their phosphorylation level under the influence of a peroxisome proliferator (PP) with hypolipidemic activity of the fibrate family. The incubation of rat hepatic derived Fao cells with ciprofibrate leads to an overphosphorylation of proteins, especially one of 85 kDa, indicating that kinase (or phosphatase) activities are modified. Moreover, immunoprecipitation of 32P-labeled cell lysates shows that the nuclear receptor, PP-activated receptor, alpha isoform, can exist in a phosphorylated form, and its phosphorylation is increased by ciprofibrate. This study shows that PP acts at different steps of cell signaling. These steps can modulate gene expression of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism and lipid homeostasis, as well as in detoxication processes.

: Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has revolutionized disease management and has transformed CML from a life-threatening disease to a chronic condition for many patients. However, overcoming resistance, particularly related to leukemic stem cells (LSC) that can persist even when the bulk of the leukemic cells are eliminated, remains a significant challenge. : K562 and KU812 cell lines were treated in vitro with the TKI Imatinib (IM).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern caused by conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and chronic nephritis, leading to structural and functional kidney injury. Kidney fibrosis is a common outcome of CKD progression, with abnormal fatty acid oxidation (FAO) disrupting renal energy homeostasis and leading to functional impairments. This results in maladaptive repair mechanisms and the secretion of profibrotic factors, and exacerbates renal fibrosis.

Background: Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a potential therapeutic target for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has been shown to regulate fatty acid oxidation (FAO) by interacting with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). However, the impact of SIRT6-PPARα pathway on NAFLD phenotype has not yet been reported. Qige decoction (QG), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, is widely applied to treat disorders of glycolipid metabolism.

Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), a crucial enzyme in lipid metabolism, plays important yet poorly understood roles in tumours, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, our investigation revealed that LCAT is a key downregulated metabolic gene and an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with HCC. Functional experiments showed that LCAT inhibited HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

Although lipid-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) is a major carbon source for histone acetylation, the contribution of fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) to this process remains poorly characterized. To investigate this, we generated mitochondrial acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1, distal FAO enzyme) knockout macrophages. C-carbon tracing confirmed reduced FA-derived carbon incorporation into histone H3, and RNA sequencing identified diminished interferon-stimulated gene expression in the absence of ACAT1.
