Chronic alcohol consumption has been linked to magnesium (Mg 2+ ) deficiency, which can influence liver disease progression.

Notably, silencing Cnnm4 restores protein isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PCMT1) activity, essential for repairing ethanol-induced protein damage. Enhancing mitochondrial activity through Cnnm4-dependent mechanisms increases S -adenosylmethionine levels, crucial for PCMT1 function, highlighting the interconnected roles of mitochondrial health and protein homeostasis in ALD treatment.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These findings shed light on the dysregulation of Mg 2+ homeostasis in ALD, providing a promising therapeutic approach targeting CNNM4.

Though being mild at early stages, further development of MASLD causes steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancers and accompanied diabetes. Discovery of the critical regulators in MASLD progression hold great values in both basic and translational medicine. Approach and Results: Herein, we identified Cyclin-dependent kinase like 3 (CDKL3) as a primary guardian against MASLD progression. Mice with liver-specific <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Cdkl3</jats:italic> ablation developed severe MASLD-related hepatic inflammation, fibrosis and diabetes. Mechanism-wise, CDKL3 directly phosphorylates FoxO1 on an unconventional site for the ubiquitination-dependent degradation of FoxO1, thereby remarkably alleviating glycogen and lipid accumulation and essentially preventing the onset of higher MASLD stages. Moreover, hepatic <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CDKL3</jats:italic> is a direct target gene of HNF4α. HNF4α is inhibited during MASLD, which led to diminished <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CDKL3</jats:italic> expression. The CDKL3-mediated crosstalk of HNF4α and FoxO1 hence forms a feedback loop in MASLD progression. Conclusions: We unearthed an alternative but critical regulatory path of FoxO1 by HNF4α-CDKL3 axis. CDKL3 serves as a guardian against MASLD and also may function as a prognosis indicator of FoxO1 inhibitor in MASLD treatment.","PeriodicalId":177,"journal":{"name":"Hepatology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
