It crosses the blood-brain barrier, providing energy for neuronal function, enhancing cognitive processes such as learning and memory, and offering neuroprotection by modulating synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter levels. BHB's impact extends to cellular pathways, including autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and epigenetic regulation. By modulating autophagy, BHB ensures mitochondrial integrity and function through intricate molecular pathways involving AMPK, mTOR, PINK1/Parkin, and others. This regulation plays vital roles in neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, reducing oxidative stress and preventing cellular dysfunction. Epigenetically, BHB acts as an endogenous histone deacetylase inhibitor, inducing beneficial histone modifications that enhance cellular resilience and stress responses. This epigenetic influence is crucial in conditions like diabetes and cancer, aiding insulin secretion, protecting pancreatic beta cells, and impacting cancer cell gene expression and survival. Furthermore, BHB's therapeutic potential is evident in its ability to improve mitochondrial function across various tissues, including neurons, muscle, and liver. By enhancing mitochondrial respiration, reducing oxidative stress, and altering metabolic pathways, BHB mitigates conditions such as ICU-acquired weakness, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular diseases.

While adipocyte-intrinsic mechanisms controlling thermogenesis are critical, an increasing appreciation for the role of the BAT microenvironment is emerging. For example, changes in circulating hexoses due to dietary intake have shown to impact BAT function. Here, we show that murine BAT preadipocytes metabolism is impacted when fructose is used as the sole carbon source. Similarly, differentiation medium containing only fructose yield mature adipocytes with fewer lipid droplets, with a concomitant decrease in adipogenic genes. These deficiencies are also observed in human BAT preadipocytes, where cutting-edge optical imaging modalities show a decrease in total cell mass and lipid mass in fructose-only medium.

Tissue injury, including DNA damage, can involve the activation of purinergic signaling. It has been shown that P2Y2 receptor signaling is exacerbated during hepatic fibrosis. Little is known, however, about the roles played by P2Y2 receptor in the processes involved in fibrosis. In this study, we used CCl<sub>4</sub> treatment to induce a reversible hepatic fibrosis, and by using a microarray assay we observed an upregulation of transcripts related to the DNA damage repair of double strand breaks (DNA-dr-dsb) after P2Y2 receptor stimulation in primary cultures of hepatocytes from fibrotic mice. The transcriptional data were confirmed demonstrating an UTP-promoted reduction in the number of γH2AX+ positive cells in etoposide-treated fibrotic primary hepatocytes. Furthermore, HIF-1α, a known transcription factor that drives P2Y2 receptor expression, showed a significant increase upon CCl<sub>4</sub> treatment, especially within the perivascular zones. Chemical activation of HIF-1α by CoCl<sub>2</sub> in fibrotic hepatocytes promoted a partial protection against increased levels of γH2AX induced by etoposide, as well as an evident enhancement in the intracellular calcium response induced by UTP in fibrotic hepatocytes, suggesting a regulatory role of this transcriptional factor on the effect of P2Y2 receptor on DNA-dr-dbs response. This regulation was also investigated pharmacologically by activating or blocking the signaling from either P2Y2 receptor or HIF-1α. Our work, in summary, shows a novel relationship between P2Y2 receptor-dependent purinergic signaling and DNA-dr-dbs in hepatic fibrosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":15219,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cellular biochemistry","volume":"126 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jcb.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144255809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Formation or resorption requires active transport that depends on aerobic glycolysis, ATP, and acid transport. Metabolic activity of bone cells during matrix formation or removal is so high that the cells autolyze rapidly after cell death. Mineralization of bone matrix uses import of phosphate by sodium-phosphate cotransport, supported by the Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup> ATPase. Glucose is the main energy source; ATP is exported to generate phosphate for hydroxyapatite in the bone matrix. Mechanism of export is not established, but phosphate is generated at least in part via phosphatase/pyrophosphatase activity including the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) and ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2). Ca<sup>2+</sup> is imported by paracellular transport. Protons, generated in producing hydroxyapatite, are exported by apical H<sup>+</sup>/Cl<sup>−</sup> exchangers ClC3 and ClC5, and basolateral Na<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> exchange. In bone resorption, ATP-dependent acid transport, the reverse of acid transport in bone formation, is essential. This uses the vacuolar-type H<sup>+</sup>ATPase linked to Cl<sup>−</sup> transport via a ClC family H<sup>+</sup>/Cl<sup>−</sup> exchanger, ClC7, and a Cl<sup>−</sup> channel.
