Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies and has a high mortality, posing a great threat to both human physical and mental health. With the advancement of scientific research, a variety of cancer therapies have been used for OSCC treatment. However, the prognosis of OSCC shows no significant improvement. Metformin has been recognized as the first-line drug for the treatment of diabetes, and recent studies have shown that metformin has a remarkable suppressive effect on tumor progression. Metformin can not only affect the energy metabolism of tumor cells but also play an antitumor role by modulating the tumor microenvironment and cancer stem cells. In this review, the molecular mechanism of metformin and its anticancer mechanism in OSCC are summarized. In addition, this article summarizes the side effects of metformin and the future prospects of its application in the treatment of OSCC.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph191912093. [PMID: 36231391 PMCID: PMC9566073 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191912093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Bioactive compounds provide new insights into the prevention and treatment of obesity. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP), a biological macromolecule extracted from Goji berry, has displayed potential for regulating lipid metabolism. However, the relationship between gut microbiota regulation and lipid metabolism is not entirely clear. In the present study, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg LBP were intragastrically administered to C57BL/6J male mice fed with a high-fat diet simultaneously lasting for twelve weeks. The results showed that 150 mg/kg LBP showed significant results and all doses of LBP feeding (50, 100, 150 mg/kg) remarkably decreased both serum and liver total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels. Treatment of 150 mg/kg LBP seems to be more effective in weight loss, lowering free fatty acid (FFA) levels in serum and liver tissues of mice. LBP feeding increased the gene expression of adiponectin and decreased the gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, Cluster of Differentiation 36, acetyl-coA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the 16s rDNA Sequencing analysis showed that 150 mg/kg LBP feeding may significantly increase the richness of gut microbiota by up-regulation of the ACE and Chao1 index and altered β-diversity among groups. Treatment of 150 mg/kg LBP feeding significantly regulated the microbial distribution by decreasing the relative abundance of Firmicutes and increasing the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes at the phylum level. Furthermore, the relative abundance of Faecalibaculum, Pantoea, and uncultured_bacterium_f_Muribaculaceae at the genus level was significantly affected by LBP feeding. A significant correlation was observed between body weight, TC, TG, FFA and bile acid and phyla at the genus level. The above results indicate that LBP plays a vital role in preventing obesity by co-regulating lipid metabolism and gut microbiota, but its effects vary with the dose.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of exercise on the proper functioning of the body have been firmly established. Multi-systemic metabolic regulation of exercise is the consequence of multitudinous changes that occur at the cellular level. The exercise responsome comprises all molecular entities including exerkines, miRNA species, growth factors, signaling proteins that are elevated and activated by physical exercise. Exerkines are secretory molecules released by organs such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and gut as a function of acute/chronic exercise. Exerkines such as FNDC5/irisin, Cathepsin B, Adiponectin, and IL-6 circulate through the bloodstream, cross the blood-brain barrier, and modulate the expression of important signaling molecules such as AMPK, SIRT1, PGC1α, BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF which further contribute to improved energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and overall well-being of the body and brain. These molecules are also responsible for neuroprotective adaptations that exercise confers on the brain and potentially ameliorate neurodegeneration. This review aims to detail important cellular and molecular species that directly or indirectly mediate exercise-induced benefits in the body, with an emphasis on the central nervous system.

Abstract
The effect of structured triacylglycerols [1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-3-linoleoylglycerol (OPL), 3-dilinoleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (LPL), and 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO)] in human milk on the lipid metabolism was unclear. Hence, this study investigated the effects of different structured triacylglycerols and their mixtures (M) (OPL/LPL/OPO in M1, M2, and M3 were 1.5:0.5:1, 1.2:1.2:1, and 0.5:0.2:1, respectively) on lipid and expression levels of some critical proteins involved in lipid metabolism in LO2 cells. Results showed that there was more lipid accumulation in the LO2 cells exposed to 2,3-dioleoyl-1-palmitoylglycerol (POO) than OPL, LPL, and OPO (p < 0.05), and more lipid accumulation was observed in the OPL group compared to LPL and OPO groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, there was more lipid accumulation in the M3 group compared to M1 and M2 groups. The expression level of diacylglycerol acyltransferase was highest in the POO group compared to LPL, OPO, and OPL groups and was higher in the M3 group than M1 and M2 groups. The expression levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1 were highest in the OPL group compared to OPO and LPL groups. In comparison to OPO and LPL, OPL seemed to be more likely to increase the content of triacylglycerols and cholesterol in LO2 cells; therefore, whether this was beneficial to the growth and development of infants needs further verification.

Abstract
Objective The global rise in type 2 diabetes is associated with a concomitant increase in diabetic complications. Diabetic polyneuropathy is the most frequent type 2 diabetes complication and is associated with poor outcomes. The metabolic syndrome has emerged as a major risk factor for diabetic polyneuropathy; however, the metabolites associated with the metabolic syndrome that correlate with diabetic polyneuropathy are unknown. Methods We conducted a global metabolomics analysis on plasma samples from a subcohort of participants from the Danish arm of Anglo‐Danish‐Dutch study of Intensive Treatment of Diabetes in Primary Care (ADDITION‐Denmark) with and without diabetic polyneuropathy versus lean control participants. Results Compared to lean controls, type 2 diabetes participants had significantly higher HbA1c (p = 0.0028), BMI (p = 0.0004), and waist circumference (p = 0.0001), but lower total cholesterol (p = 0.0001). Out of 991 total metabolites, we identified 15 plasma metabolites that differed in type 2 diabetes participants by diabetic polyneuropathy status, including metabolites belonging to energy, lipid, and xenobiotic pathways, among others. Additionally, these metabolites correlated with alterations in plasma lipid metabolites in type 2 diabetes participants based on neuropathy status. Further evaluating all plasma lipid metabolites identified a shift in abundance, chain length, and saturation of free fatty acids in type 2 diabetes participants. Importantly, the presence of diabetic polyneuropathy impacted the abundance of plasma complex lipids, including acylcarnitines and sphingolipids. Interpretation Our explorative study suggests that diabetic polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes is associated with novel alterations in plasma metabolites related to lipid metabolism.

Abstract
TGF-β activated kinase 1, a MAPK kinase kinase family serine threonine kinase has been implicated in regulating diverse range of cellular processes that include embryonic development, differentiation, autophagy, apoptosis and cell survival. TAK1 along with its binding partners TAB1, TAB2 and TAB3 displays a complex pattern of regulation that includes serious crosstalk with major signaling pathways including the C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 MAPK, and I-kappa B kinase complex (IKK) involved in establishing cellular commitments for death and survival. This review also highlights how TAK1 orchestrates regulation of energy homeostasis via AMPK and its emerging role in influencing mTORC1 pathway to regulate death or survival in tandem.

Abstract
Dietary phenolic compounds are considered as bioactive compounds that have effects in different chronic disorders related to oxidative stress, inflammation process, or aging. These compounds, coming from a wide range of natural sources, have shown a pleiotropic behavior on key proteins that act as regulators. In this sense, this review aims to compile information on the effect exerted by the phenolic compounds and their metabolites on the main metabolic pathways involved in energy metabolism, inflammatory response, aging and their relationship with the biological properties reported in high prevalence chronic diseases. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated their pleiotropic molecular mechanisms of action and these findings raise the possibility that phenolic compounds have a wide variety of roles in different targets.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) characterized by liver steatosis, inflammation, and hepatocellular damage. NASH is a serious condition that can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The association of NASH with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia has led to an emerging picture of NASH as the liver manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Although diet and exercise can dramatically improve NASH outcomes, significant lifestyle changes can be challenging to sustain. Pharmaceutical therapies could be an important addition to care, but currently none are approved for NASH. Here, we review the most promising targets for NASH treatment, along with the most advanced therapeutics in development. These include targets involved in metabolism (e.g., sugar, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism), inflammation, and fibrosis. Ultimately, combination therapies addressing multiple aspects of NASH pathogenesis are expected to provide benefit for patients.

Reciprocal Association between the Apical Junctional Complex and AMPK: A Promising Therapeutic Target for Epithelial/Endothelial Barrier Function? Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20236012.

Abstract
Epithelial/endothelial cells adhere to each other via cell–cell junctions including tight junctions (TJs) and adherens junctions (AJs). TJs and AJs are spatiotemporally and functionally integrated, and are thus often collectively defined as apical junctional complexes (AJCs), regulating a number of spatiotemporal events including paracellular barrier, selective permeability, apicobasal cell polarity, mechano-sensing, intracellular signaling cascades, and epithelial morphogenesis. Over the past 15 years, it has been acknowledged that adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a well-known central regulator of energy metabolism, has a reciprocal association with AJCs. Here, we review the current knowledge of this association and show the following evidences: (1) as an upstream regulator, AJs activate the liver kinase B1 (LKB1)–AMPK axis particularly in response to applied junctional tension, and (2) TJ function and apicobasal cell polarization are downstream targets of AMPK and are promoted by AMPK activation. Although molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena have not yet been completely elucidated, identifications of novel AMPK effectors in AJCs and AMPK-driven epithelial transcription factors have enhanced our knowledge. More intensive studies along this line would eventually lead to the development of AMPK-based therapies, enabling us to manipulate epithelial/endothelial barrier function.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDIn this study, we identified the lipidomic predictors of early type 2 diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression, which are currently undefined.METHODSThis longitudinal study included 92 American Indians with type 2 diabetes. Serum lipids (406 from 18 classes) were quantified using mass spectrometry from baseline samples when iothalamate-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was at least 90 mL/min. Affymetrix GeneChip Array was used to measure renal transcript expression. DKD progression was defined as at least 40% decline in GFR during follow-up.RESULTSParticipants had a mean age of 45 ± 9 years and median urine albumin/creatinine ratio of 43 (interquartile range 11-144). The 32 progressors had significantly higher relative abundance of polyunsaturated triacylglycerols (TAGs) and a lower abundance of C16-C20 acylcarnitines (ACs) (P < 0.001). In a Cox regression model, the main effect terms of unsaturated free fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamines and the interaction terms of C16-C20 ACs and short-low-double-bond TAGs by categories of albuminuria independently predicted DKD progression. Renal expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase-encoding gene (ACACA) correlated with serum diacylglycerols in the glomerular compartment (r = 0.36, and P = 0.006) and with low-double-bond TAGs in the tubulointerstitial compartment (r = 0.52, and P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONCollectively, the findings reveal a previously unrecognized link between lipid markers of impaired mitochondrial β-oxidation and enhanced lipogenesis and DKD progression in individuals with preserved GFR. Renal acetyl-CoA carboxylase activation accompanies these lipidomic changes and suggests that it may be the underlying mechanism linking lipid abnormalities to DKD progression.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00340678.FUNDINGNIH R24DK082841, K08DK106523, R03DK121941, P30DK089503, P30DK081943, and P30DK020572.

Abstract
Tight junctions (TJ) play an essential role in the epithelial barrier. By definition, TJ are located at the demarcation between the apical and baso-lateral domains of the plasma membrane in epithelial cells. TJ fulfill two major roles: (i) TJ prevent the mixing of membrane components; and (ii) TJ regulate the selective paracellular permeability. Disruption of TJ is regarded as one of the earliest hallmarks of epithelial injury, leading to the loss of cell polarity and tissue disorganization. Many factors have been identified as modulators of TJ assembly/disassembly. More specifically, in addition to its role as an energy sensor, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) participates in TJ regulation. AMPK is a ubiquitous serine/threonine kinase composed of a catalytic α-subunit complexed with regulatory β-and γ-subunits. AMPK activation promotes the early stages of epithelial TJ assembly. AMPK phosphorylates the adherens junction protein afadin and regulates its interaction with the TJ-associated protein zonula occludens (ZO)-1, thereby facilitating ZO-1 distribution to the plasma membrane. In the present review, we detail the signaling pathways up-and down-stream of AMPK activation at the time of Ca2+-induced TJ assembly.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a degradation-resistant compound with a carbon-fluorine bond. Although PFOA emissions have been reduced since 2000, it remains persistent in the environment. Several studies on laboratory animals indicate that PFOA exposure can impact male fertility. Here, adult male mice received either PFOA (1.25, 5 or 20 mg/kg/d) or an equal volume of water for 28 d consecutively. PFOA accumulated in the epididymis in a dose-dependent manner and resulted in reduced epididymis weight, lower levels of triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (CHO), and free fatty acids (FFA), and activated AKT/AMPK signaling in the epididymis. Altered polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) compositions, such as a higher arachidonic acid:linoleic acid (AA:LA) ratio, concomitant with excessive oxidative stress, as demonstrated by increased malonaldehyde (MDA) and decreased glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the epididymis, were observed in epididymis tissue following treatment with PFOA. These results indicate that the epididymis is a potential target of PFOA. Oxidative stress and PUFA alteration might help explain the sperm injury and male reproductive dysfunction induced by PFOA exposure.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by airflow limitation and inflammation. Meanwhile, COPD also is associated with metabolic disorders, such as skeletal muscle weakness. Strikingly, activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) exerts critical roles in energy metabolism. However, it remains unclear whether and how the expression levels of AMPK are affected in the COPD model rats which may lead to the dysfunction of the skeletal muscle in these rats. Methods Here we developed a rat model of COPD, and we investigated the morphological changes of peripheral skeletal muscle and measured the levels of tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α) and AMPK in skeletal muscle by using approaches that include immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results We found that the expression levels of both AMPK mRNA and protein in skeletal muscles were significantly reduced in the COPD model rats, in comparison to those from the control rats, the COPD model rats that received treatments with AICAR and resveratrol, whereas the expression levels of TNF-α were elevated in COPD rats. Conclusion Such findings indicate that AMPK may serve as a target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of muscle weakness in COPD patients.

Abstract
ETC-1002 (8-hydroxy-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid) is a novel investigational drug being developed for the treatment of dyslipidemia and other cardio-metabolic risk factors. The hypolipidemic, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-obesity, and glucose-lowering properties of ETC-1002, characterized in preclinical disease models, are believed to be due to dual inhibition of sterol and fatty acid synthesis and enhanced mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation. However, the molecular mechanism(s) mediating these activities remained undefined. Studies described here show that ETC-1002 free acid activates AMP-activated protein kinase in a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase β-independent and liver kinase β 1-dependent manner, without detectable changes in adenylate energy charge. Furthermore, ETC-1002 is shown to rapidly form a CoA thioester in liver, which directly inhibits ATP-citrate lyase. These distinct molecular mechanisms are complementary in their beneficial effects on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in vitro and in vivo. Consistent with these mechanisms, ETC-1002 treatment reduced circulating proatherogenic lipoproteins, hepatic lipids, and body weight in a hamster model of hyperlipidemia, and it reduced body weight and improved glycemic control in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. ETC-1002 offers promise as a novel therapeutic approach to improve multiple risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome and benefit patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The purpose of these experiments were to determine possible relationships between certain indices of lipid metabolism and specific gene expression in chickens fed graded levels of dietary crude protein. Male, broiler chickens growing from 7 to 28 days of age were fed diets containing 12 or 30% protein ad libitum. Both groups were then switched on day 28 to the diets containing the opposite level of protein. Birds were killed on day 28 (basal values prior to the switch) and at 12, 18 and 24 h post switch. Measurements taken included in vitro lipogenesis, malic enzyme activity the expression of the genes for malic enzyme, fatty acid synthase and acetyl coenzyme carboxylase. In vitro lipogenesis and malic enzyme activity were inversely related to dietary protein levels (12 to 30%) and to acute changes from 12 to 30%. Malic enzyme, fatty acid synthase and acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase genes were constant over a dietary protein range of 12 to 21% as in previous experiments, but decreased by feeding a 30% protein diet in the present experiments (acute or chronic feeding). Results of the present study demonstrate a continued role for protein in the regulation of broiler metabolism. Metabolic regulation at the gene level only occurs when feeding very high levels of dietary protein.

Abstract
Hubbard x Hubbard chickens (Gallus gallus) growing from 7 to 28 days of age were fed 12 or 30% protein diets and then switched to the diets containing the opposite level of protein. Birds were killed on days 28, 29, 30 and 31. Measurements taken included in vitro lipogenesis (IVL), malic enzyme (ME), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD) and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) activities and the expression of the genes for ME, fatty acid synthase (FAS) and acetyl coenzyme carboxylase (ACC). Gene expression was determined with a combined RT-PCR using SYBR green as a fluorescent probe monitored in a real time mode. IVL and ME activity were inversely related to dietary protein levels (12 to 30%) and to acute changes in either level. In contrast, both ICD and AAT activities were increased by any increase in dietary protein. Lipogenic gene expression was inversely related to protein level, whether fed on an acute or chronic basis. It appears that real time RT-PCR is an acceptable method of estimating gene expression in birds. In addition, further work will focus on primer sizes that might further optimize RT-PCR as an instrument for studying the regulation of avian lipid metabolism. Results of the present study demonstrate a continued role for protein in the regulation of broiler metabolism. However, it should be pointed out that metabolic regulation at the gene level only occurs when feeding very high levels of dietary protein.

Male, broiler chickens growing from 7 to 28 days of age were fed diets containing 12, 21 or 30% protein ad libitum. In addition, another group of birds was fed on a regimen consisting of a daily change in the dietary protein level (12 or 30%). This latter group was further subdivided such that one-half of the birds received each level of protein on alternating days. Birds were sampled from 28 to 30 days of age. Measurements taken included in vitro lipogenesis, malic enzyme activity the expression of the genes for malic enzyme, fatty acid synthase and acetyl coenzyme carboxylase. In vitro lipogenesis and malic enzyme activity were inversely related to dietary protein levels (12-30%) and to acute changes from 12 to 30%.

Abstract
The enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACC-alpha) is rate-limiting for the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids de novo. As a first characterization of the bovine gene encoding this enzyme, we established the entire bovine ACC-alpha cDNA sequence (7041 bp) and used experiments with 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends to determine the heterogeneous composition of 5' untranslated regions, as expressed from three different promoters (PI, PII and PIII). The individual locations of these promoters have been defined within an area comprising 35 kbp on Bos taurus chromosome 19 ('BTA19'), together with the segmentation of the first 14 exons. Primer extension analyses reveal that the nutritionally regulated PI initiates transcription from at least four sites. PI transcripts are much more abundant in adipose and mammary-gland tissues than in liver or lung. A 2.6 kb promoter fragment drives the expression of reporter genes only weakly in different model cells, irrespective of stimulation with insulin or dexamethasone. Thus bovine PI is basically repressed, like its analogue from rat. Finely graded deletions of PI map two separate elements, which have to be present together in cis to repress bovine PI. The distal component resides within a well-preserved Art2 retroposon element. Thus sequence, structure and evolutionary origin of the main repressor of PI in bovines are entirely different from its functional counterpart in rat, which had been identified as a (CA)(28) microsatellite. We show that, in different mammalian species, unrelated genome segments of different origins have been recruited to express as functionally homologous PI the ancient and otherwise highly conserved ACC-alpha-encoding gene.

Abstract
Long-chain fatty acids are involved in all aspects of cellular structure and function. For controlling amounts of fatty acids, cells are endowed with two acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) systems. ACC-alpha is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biogenesis of long-chain fatty acids, and ACC-beta is believed to control mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. These two isoforms of ACC control the amount of fatty acids in the cells. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of ACC-alpha cause enzyme inactivation and activation, respectively, and serve as the enzyme's short-term regulatory mechanism. Covalently modified enzymes become more sensitive toward cellular metabolites. In addition, many hormones and nutrients affect gene expression. The gene products formed are heterogeneous and tissue specific. The ACC-beta gene is located on human chromosome 12; the cDNA for this gene has just been cloned. The gene for the alpha-isoform is located on human chromosome 17. The catalytic core of the beta-isoform is homologous to that of the alpha-isoform, except for an additional peptide of about 150 amino acids at the N terminus. This extra peptide sequence makes the beta-form about 10,000 daltons larger, and it is thought to be involved in the unique role that has been assigned to this enzyme. The detailed control mechanisms for the beta-isoform are not known.

Abstract
Changes in the mass and subunit structure of liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) accompany altered nutrition in vivo. Enzyme activity in different tissues and cell lines is also, in part, determined by variations in both total mass and ACC isoenzyme composition. ACC isoenzyme mass and hetero/homo-isoenzyme association were quantified by three sandwich e.l.i.s.a. assays, i.e. an avidin-based assay that measured total isoenzyme mass and two antibody-sandwich assays which measure polypeptide association. Results from the avidin-based assay reveal that the two major isoenzymes, of molecular mass 265 kDa (ACC 265) and 280 kDa (ACC 280), are present in markedly variable concentration in several rat and mouse tissues and in cell lines of rat and mouse origin. Hepatic ACC mass has been reported to be distributed between mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions and to undergo only a change in subcellular distribution without alteration in total mass on induction/repression of activity in vivo [Roman-Lopez, Shriver, Joseph & Alfred (1989) Biochem. J. 260, 927-930]. However, in the present study, immunoblotting and e.l.i.s.a. analysis reveals that, in rat liver, the mass of both isoenzymes is predominantly cytosolic in distribution, is markedly diminished on fasting and rises 6-8-fold on refeeding of a high-carbohydrate diet. These data support the results of several other investigations of hepatic ACC mass, and are consistent with known nutritionally altered changes in ACC mRNA content. By the two antibody-sandwich e.l.i.s.a. assays, isoenzyme complexes either composed of both ACC 280 and 265 or with multiple copies of ACC 265 are detectable in rat liver enzyme; their concentration varies independently of total ACC mass with the nutritional state of the rat, being lowest in fasting and highest on fasting/refeeding. E.l.i.s.a. analysis, applicable to crude tissue/cell extracts, provides a simple, sensitive and quantitative measurement of ACC mass and subunit composition. Its use may permit needed quantitative insight into the role of variable total ACC and isoenzyme mass and of alterations in ACC subunit composition that occur in vivo or in isolated cells in response to a variety of hormonal and nutritional influences.

Abstract
The in vivo induction of rat liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) the rate-limiting enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis, has been examined by immunoblotting, avidin blotting, and enzyme isolation. Three high-molecular-weight immunoreactive bands (Mr 220,000-260,000) were recognized in liver extracts by an anti-carboxylase polyclonal antiserum. Two bands, A and B, comigrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels with purified acetyl-CoA carboxylase, were avidin binding, and were dramatically induced following high carbohydrate refeeding. Only band A was recognized on immunoblots using a monoclonal antibody directed against acetyl-CoA carboxylase, suggesting that band B is a proteolytic fragment in which the epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody is absent. Following refeeding, approximately 57% of acetyl-CoA carboxylase mass (band A + band B) was present in the high-speed supernatant fraction, while 34 and 9% were in the high-speed (microsomal) and low-speed pellet fractions, respectively. Refeeding caused a large increase in total acetyl-CoA carboxylase mass, the magnitude of which differed in the various fractions. In the low-speed supernatant, a 20-fold increase in ACC mass was observed, while a 12-fold increase was seen in the high-speed supernatant. The fold increase in the high-speed pellet was even greater (greater than 27-fold). Acetyl-CoA carboxylase purified by avidin-Sepharose chromatography from fasted/refed rats had an approximate 4-fold higher Vmax and a significantly lower Ka for citrate than enzyme purified from fasted animals. The results of this study indicate that the induction of hepatic ACC that occurs during high carbohydrate refeeding of the fasted rat predominantly involves increases in enzyme content in both cytosol and microsomes, but is also accompanied by an increase in enzyme specific activity.

Abstract
1. A mechanical tissue chopper was used to obtain 35-75 mg explants from 21- to 28-day-old chick liver to determine assay conditions (substrates, buffers, time), regulators (metals and hormones) and points of endogenous regulation of de novo lipogenesis (ATPase, reductive potential and protein phosphorylation). High- and low-bicarbonate-based buffers (Earl's balance salts, EBSS and Hanks' balanced salts, HBSS; respectively) were used in conjunction with sources and types of bovine serum albumin (BSA), divalent cations (Mg2+ or Ca2+), substrate (glucose or acetate) and hormones (insulin and catecholamines). 2. Neither EBSS nor HBSS changed in vitro lipogenesis, CO2 or glucose production when 20 mM HEPES was added to these salts. 3. Neither the presence nor the source of BSA (Sigma or Armour) affected metabolism. In contrast, reducing the vessel reaction surface area (5.1 vs 10.5 cm2) decreased metabolic rates. 4. Acetate was more readily utilized than glucose as an in vitro fatty acid precursor. Use of glucose was complicated by production of glucose from endogenous precursors and by label recycling. Divalent cations (Mg2+ or Ca2+) had little affect upon lipogenesis. 5. Chicken insulin (50 ng/ml) did not affect lipogenesis; however, incorporation of acetate into fatty acids was decreased by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. A catecholamine-induced decrease in vitro lipogenesis indicates that major points of regulation are under control of phosphorylation-dephosphorylation steps.

Abstract
Lipogenesis and fatty acid synthetase (FAS) activity of isolated rat adipocytes that were treated with insulin or epinephrine were studied. Insulin stimulated incorporation of radioactivity from D-[U-14C]glucose into CO2, saponifiable and non-saponifiable fractions, whereas epinephrine promoted lipolysis and oxidation of glucose into CO2. Whereas insulin stimulated fatty acid synthesis, epinephrine had no effect. Changes in FAS specific activity of insulin- or epinephrine-treated adipocytes were insignificant and could not account for insulin-stimulated lipogenesis. Rat adipocyte FAS, unlike hepatic FAS, was not subject to short-term regulation by insulin, although fatty acid synthesis showed such a response.

Abstract
In order to better understand the mechanism by which changes in the fatty acid composition of cellular lipids occur in leukemia cell lines induced to differentiate, the activity of the first enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2) was measured in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells before, during and after treatment with compounds that induce these cells to mature to neutrophillike cells. After 24 h of exposure to dimethylsulfoxide, retinoic acid, or butyric acid, no morphological or biochemical (nitroblue tetrazolium reduction) evidence of differentiation occurred, but acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity decreased 44, 44.5, and 49% respectively, compared to untreated cells. After 7 days of culture in the presence of these agents, 79, 83, and 72% of cells acquired the ability to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium (versus 15% of control cells) and enzyme activity decreased 92.7, 99.7, and 98%, compared to control cultures, with the three compounds respectively. Thus, some of the reported changes in fatty acid composition of leukemia cells with differentiation may arise, in part, from the depression of the de novo fatty acid biosynthetic pathway and the loss of acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity may be a useful marker for neutrophilic differentiation in HL-60 cells.

Abstract
Native acetyl CoA carboxylase was phosphorylated by catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and ATP-citrate lyase kinase to 1 and 0.5 mol/subunit respectively. Both protein kinases added together increased acetyl CoA carboxylase phosphorylation additively. Partial proteolysis of 32P-acetyl CoA carboxylase followed by electrophoretic analysis showed that the 32P-phosphopeptides generated from acetyl CoA carboxylase phosphorylated with lyase kinase were different from the peptides obtained from the enzyme phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Mapping of tryptic 32P-phosphopeptides by high performance liquid chromatography showed that the major phosphopeptides phosphorylated by ATP-citrate lyase kinase were different from the major phosphopeptides phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The results suggest that at least one different site on acetyl CoA carboxylase is preferentially phosphorylated by each protein kinase.

Abstract
The catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase stimulates the inactivation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase by acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase. The stimulated inactivation of carboxylase is due to activation of carboxylase kinase by the catalytic subunit. Activation of carboxylase kinase activity is accompanied by the incorporation of 0.6 mol of phosphate per mole of carboxylase kinase. Addition of the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase prevents the activation of carboxylase kinase. Phosphorylation and activation of carboxylase kinase has no effect on the Km for ATP, but decreases the Km for acetyl-CoA carboxylase from 93 to 45 nM. Inactivation of carboxylase by the carboxylase kinase requires the presence of coenzyme A even when the activated carboxylase kinase is used. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is not phosphorylated or inactivated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
Phosphorylation and inactivation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase by acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ requires coenzyme A. Coenzyme A did not enhance the phosphorylation of alternative substrates of the carboxylase kinase such as protamine or histones. Analogs of coenzyme A were also effective in stimulating the inactivation of carboxylase. The KA of CoA for stimulated carboxylase inactivation was 25 microM. The presence of coenzyme A did not alter the Km of the carboxylase kinase for its substrates, ATP and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Fluorescence binding studies showed that CoA binds to carboxylase but not to the kinase. The KD of CoA binding to carboxylase is 27 microM. These results indicate that coenzyme A, acting on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, may play an important role in the regulation of the covalent modification mechanism for acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

Abstract
The nature of the protein phosphatases involved in the regulation of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis in rat liver has been investigated using L-pyruvate kinase, ATP-citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase as substrates. The results show that protein phosphatases-1, 2A and 2C are the only significant protein phosphatases in rat liver acting on these four substrates. The relationship of these three enzymes to other protein phosphatases described in the literature is discussed.

Abstract
Current studies on the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids by isolated rat liver cells are largely concerned with the regulation of the activity of previously existing acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase, and with the regulation of the quantity of these enzymes. These studies have required the development of methods for obtaining high yields of viable hepatocytes that respond to hormonal treatment. Such methods have been developed over the past 10-15 years through the efforts of several laboratories. These studies have also required the development of a method to determine whether a change in the activity of an enzyme is due to a modification of preexisting enzyme or to a change in quantity of that enzyme. The most satisfactory method to use for such studies is immunotitration of enzyme activity. In recent years studies on the regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase have largely centered upon the effect of phosphorylation-dephosphorylation on the activity of this enzyme and whether glucagon inhibits the activity of this enzyme through this process. Much data from a number of laboratories have suggested that glucagon regulates the activity of this enzyme through phosphorylation-dephosphorylation. However, several of these studies involved the use of crude systems in which competing enzymes and substrates that can significantly interfere with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity measurements were still present. Hence, a confirmation of these studies needs to be carried out under conditions in which the effects of competing enzymes and substrates are eliminated. Studies on changes in quantity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase have shown that these enzymes are induced by the fasting and refeeding of animals. They have also shown that insulin stimulates (10- to 30-fold) the induction of these enzymes. This induction appears to be due to a change in the quantity of translatable mRNA which may, in turn, be due to a change in the rate of transcription of the genes coding for these enzymes.

Abstract
The activities of two lipogenic enzymes, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase, were determined in two transplantable mammary adenocarcinomas (13762 and R3230AC) carried by non-pregnant, pregnant and lactating rats, and in mammary tissue of control animals (non-tumour-carrying) of comparable physiological states. During mammary-gland differentiation of control or tumour-carrying animals, the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase in the lactating gland increased by about 40--50-fold over the values found in non-pregnant animals. On the other hand, in tumours carried by lactating dams there were only modest increases (1.5--2-fold) in acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase compared with the neoplasms carried by non-pregnant animals. On the basis of the Km values for different substrates and immunodiffusion and immunotitration data, the fatty acid synthase of neoplastic tissues appeared to be indistinguishable from the control mammary-gland enzyme. However, a comparison of the immunotitration and immunodiffusion experiments indicated that the mammary-gland acetyl-CoA carboxylase might differ from the enzyme present in mammary neoplasms.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2) has been isolated from rat liver by an avidin-affinity chromatography technique. This preparation has a specific activity of 1.17 +/- 0.06 U/mg and appears as a major (240,000 dalton) and minor (140,000 dalton) band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Enzyme isolated by this technique can incorporate 1.09 +/- 0.07 mol phosphate per mol enzyme (Mr = 480,000) when incubated with the catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase at 30 degrees C for 1 h. The associated activity loss under these conditions is 57 +/- 4.0% when the enzyme is assayed in the presence of 2.0 mM citrate. Less inactivation is observed when the enzyme is assayed in the presence of 5.0 mM citrate. The specific protein inhibitor of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase blocks both the protein kinase stimulated phosphorylation and inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. The phosphorylated, inactivated rat liver carboxylase can be partially dephosphorylated and reactivated by incubation with a partially purified protein phosphatase. Preparations of acetyl-CoA carboxylase also contained an endogenous protein kinase(s) which incorporated 0.26 +/- 0.11 mol phosphate per mol carboxylase (Mr = 480,000) accompanied by a 26 +/- 9% decline in activity. We have additionally confirmed that the rat mammary gland enzyme, also isolated by avidin affinity chromatography, can be both phosphorylated and inactivated upon incubation with the cyclic AMP-dependent kinase.

Abstract
The effect of vasopressin on the short-term regulation of fatty acid synthesis was studied in isolated hepatocytes from rats fed ad libitum. Vasopressin stimulates fatty acid synthesis by 30-110%. This increase is comparable with that obtained with insulin. Angiotensin also stimulates fatty acid synthesis, whereas phenylephrine does not. The dose-response curve for vasopressin-stimulated lipogenesis is similar to the dose-response curve for glycogenolysis and release of lactate plus pyruvate. Vasopression also stimulates acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Vasopressin does not relieve glucagon-inhibited lipogenesis, whereas insulin does. The action of vasopressin on hepatic lipogenesis is decreased, but not suppressed, in Ca2+-depleted hepatocytes. The results suggest that vasopressin acts on lipogenesis by increasing availability of lipogenic substrate (lactate + pyruvate) and by activating acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase from rat epididymal fat tissue is activated by incubation at 30 C in the absence of citrate or metal ions. This activation is accompanied by a corresponding loss of 32P from the labeled enzyme, and it is not blocked by the heat-stable phosphorylase phosphatase inhibitor proteins from rabbit muscle. We have succeeded in separating an activity which activates and dephosphorylates acetyl-CoA carboxylase from the carboxylase using polyethylene glycol-6000. These results suggest that the temperature-dependent activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in crude or partially purified preparations results from dephosphorylation of the carboxylase by bound phosphatase.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase has been purified from lactating rat mammary gland using a combination of ammonium sulphate and poly(ethyleneglycol) precipitations. The enzyme was purified from 35--70-fold with a yield of over 50%, the exact figures being difficult to estimate because of activation of the enzyme that occurs during the preparation. The preparation was homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate and had a single subunit of molecular weight 240,000, containing 1.02 +/- 0.04 molecules of biotin and 3.1 +/- 1.7 molecules of alkali-labile phosphate per subunit. The purified enzyme was phosphorylated and inactivated rapidly when incubated in the presence of [gamma 32P]ATP and magnesium ions with the purified catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle. Both phosphorylation and inactivation are blocked by the heat-stable protein inhibitor of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and can be reversed by incubation with purified protein phosphatase-1 from rabbit skeletal muscle. The inactivation by the protein kinase and reactivation by the protein phosphatase correlate with the near-stoichiometric phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of site(s) located in a single tryptic peptide. Phosphorylation does not affect the Km for substrates, but brings about a twofold decrease in V and a twofold increase in the apparent dissociation constant for the allosteric activator, citrate. We also present evidence that the activation of rabbit mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase by protein phosphatase-1 described previously [Hardie and Cohen (1979) FEBS Lett. 103, 333-338] is due to dephosphorylation at site(s) which are not phosphorylated by either cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase or acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2. These results suggest that the rapid inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and hence fatty acid synthesis, by adrenaline in adipose tissue, or glucagon in the liver, is due to phosphorylation of the enzyme by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase [acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.2] is activated by physiological concentrations of CoA. The CoA concentration dependency of this activation is sigmoidal; below 60 microM there is little or no activation, but the activation observed between 60 and 120 microM indicates that small changes in the concentration of CoA can cause significant changes in carboxylase activity. CoA activation of acetyl-CoA crboxylase accompanies polymerization of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. However, the binding site for CoA appears to be different from that of citrate. In contrast to citrate activation, which changes only the Vmax of the reaction, CoA activation of carboxylase results in polymeric forms with a lower Km for acetyl-CoA. The Km for acetyl-CoA is 0.4 mM in the control enzyme, whereas that of the CoA-activated enzyme is as low as 4 microM. The Km for ATP was not changed. Derivatives of CoA were not effective in activating the carboxylase, indicating that the CoA effect is specific. Arguments are presented that CoA could be a physiologically significant positive effector of the carboxylase.
