Colocalization of SCD1 and DGAT2: implying preference for endogenous monounsaturated fatty acids in triglyceride synthesis.
Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase (SCD) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that catalyzes the Delta9-cis desaturation of saturated fatty acids. Mice with targeted disruption in SCD1 (Scd1(-/-)) have significant reduction in the tissue content of triglycerides, suggesting that monounsaturated fatty acids endogenously synthesized by SCD1 are important for triglyceride synthesis. Acyl-coenzyme ...
متن کاملDrug Redeployment to Kill Leukemia and Lymphoma Cells by Disrupting SCD1-Mediated Synthesis of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids.
The redeployed drug combination of bezafibrate and medroxyprogesterone acetate (designated BaP) has potent in vivo anticancer activity in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) patients; however, its mechanism-of-action is unclear. Given that elevated fatty acid biosynthesis is a hallmark of many cancers and that these drugs can affect lipid metabolism, we hypothesi...
متن کاملMonounsaturated Fatty Acids in Birds
23 The evolution of lifespan is a central question in evolutionary biology, begging the question why 24 there is so large variation among taxa. Specifically, a central quest is to unravel proximate causes of 25 ageing. Here we show that the degree of unsaturation of liver fatty acids predicts maximum lifespan 26 in 107 bird species. In these birds, the degree of fatty acid unsaturation is posit...
متن کاملInsulin-independent regulation of hepatic triglyceride synthesis by fatty acids.
A central paradox in type 2 diabetes is the apparent selective nature of hepatic insulin resistance--wherein insulin fails to suppress hepatic glucose production yet continues to stimulate lipogenesis, resulting in hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hepatic steatosis. Although efforts to explain this have focused on finding a branch point in insulin signaling where hepatic glucose and lipid met...
متن کاملKinetics of Saturated, Monounsaturated, and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Humans
Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) kinetics in humans are often measured with only one tracer. In study 1, healthy volunteers received infusions of [U-¹³C]linoleate, [U-¹³C]oleate, and [U-¹³C]palmitate during continuous feeding with liquid meals low (n = 12) and high (n = 5) in palmitate and containing three labeled fatty acids to measure FFA appearance and fractional spillover of lipoprotein lipase-...
