Have you ever wondered how mitochondrial and cytosolic pathways for de novo lipogenesis (DNL) interact?
We did!
Published Online today (https://t.co/l05A4qyCx1) and led by first-author @adam_rauckhorst, we traced 13C-labeled lactate/pyruvate, acetate, the ketone acetoacetate, and leucine in several mouse models of disrupted hepatic mitochondrial and cytosolic acetyl-CoA generating pathways.
Surprisingly, deleting the mitochondria citrate carrier (CiC) increased DNL from both exogeneous and leucine-generated acetoacetate. Overall, our findings delineate a mitochondrial-cytosolic DNL substrate supply network that may guide more accurate therapeutic development for MASLD and T2D.
Many thanks to our expert collaborators: No X Ryan Sheldon, now leading metabolomics at the @VAInstitute, who helped start the project and develop the necessary mass spec methods with @adam_rauckhorst; for @StanislawDeja and @Isotopomer for deuterium tracing by NMR and careful contibutions to quantitatively framing our mass spec data; and Tom Vallim of @TarlingVallim for guidance with in vivo gene deletion by AAV CRISPRs.
Please also see the exciting co-published manuscript from @WellenLab and Christian Metallo Labs (https://t.co/Wq1JH6AXZS) showing that bempadoic acid does more than just inhibit ACLY!

Here is an exciting story on ACLY independent function of BPA in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism and improving diet-induced steatosis. Thankful to the mentors Christian Metallo and @WellenLab
The tragic death of a 28-year-old PhD student at IIT Kanpur is a wake-up call for us all. Mental health and financial stability are crucial for scholars to thrive. We demand systemic changes to support research scholars. @PMOIndia@EduMinOfIndia@dpradhanbjp@DrJitendraSingh
Remembering Ratan Tata, whose generous gift established Tata Hall for the Sciences. He said, "I kept feeling that there is something happening at UC San Diego that would make a difference...What we are doing is a big thing for mankind...” https://t.co/7AIaIviQpU @ucsdbiosciences
Ratan Tata ’59, B.Arch. ’62, the university’s most generous international donor and one of India's most respected business leaders and philanthropists, passed Oct. 9. We will remember his legacy of transformative giving to Cornell.

@Nher_who@kushaldas The candidate frm Ayodhya. It proved again that it’s not easy 2 divide Indians on religious line. We hv collectively refused it for the last 70 years n will cont to do so kyun Ki humare khoon mein Bhagath Singh, Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Tagore, Subhash Patel ka khoon shamil hai.
Heartiest congratulations to Sri NCB and the NDA partners for a remarkable success in AP in a defining election. The people emphatically rejected the notion of governance as individual, short-term welfare alone at the cost of long-term collective needs and economic growth. And voters gave a strong message that power given by them is to be exercised for public good, and not for private gain and personal despotism.
Now the new government has the onerous task of bringing fiscal discipline, promoting inclusive growth and establishing rule of law. AP suffered a severe setback over the past five years, and all of us in the civil society and market should help the government to fulfill its mission.
We need to restructure welfare to make it sustainable and productive, focus on educational outcomes with skills and quality healthcare to enhance productivity, and promote small town development and in situ urbanisation to create inclusive growth.
The new government needs our best wishes and support in the coming days and years in the quest for putting the state on the path of inclusive growth and success.
