Given the opposing effects of Akt and AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)on metabolic homeostasis,this study examined the effects of deletion of Akt2 and AMPKα2 on fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis.Akt2-Ampkα2 double knockout(DKO)mice were placed on high fat diet for 5 months.Glucose metabolism,energy homeostasis,cardiac function,lipid accumulation,and hepatic steatosis were examined.DKO mice were lean without anthropometric defects.High fat intake led to adiposity and decreased respiratory exchange ratio(RER)in wild-type(WT)mice,which were ablated in DKO but not Akt2-/-and Ampkα2-/-mice.High fat intake increased blood and hepatic triglycerides and cholesterol,promoted hepatic steatosis and injury in WT mice.These effects were eliminated in DKO but not Akt2-/-and Ampkα2-/-mice.Fat diet promoted fat accumulation,and enlarged adipocyte size,the effect was negated in DKO mice.Fat intake elevated fatty acid synthase(FAS),carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein(CHREBP),sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1(SREBP1),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha(PGC-1α),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α(PPARα),PPARy,stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1(SCD-1),phosphoenolpyr-uvate carboxykinase(PEPCK),glucose 6-phosphatase(G6Pase),and diglyceride O-acyltransferase 1(DGAT1),the effect was absent in DKO but not Akt2-/-and Ampkα2-/-mice.Fat diet dampened mi-tophagy,promoted inflammation and phosphorylation of forkhead box protein O1(FoxO1)and AMPKα1(Ser485),the effects were eradicated by DKO.Deletion of Parkin effectively nullified DKO-induced meta-bolic benefits against high fat intake.Liver samples from obese humans displayed lowered microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B(LC3B),Pinkl,Parkin,as well as enhanced phosphorylation of Akt,AMPK(Ser485),and FoxO1,which were consolidated by RNA sequencing(RNAseq)and mass spectrometry analyses from rodent and human livers.These data suggest that concurrent deletion of Akt2 and AMPKα2 offers resilience to fat diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis,possibly through preservation of Parkin-mediated mitophagy and lipid metabolism.

追溯疾病的发现过程rn脊髓性肌萎缩症的发现可追溯到19世纪90年代.1891年,奥地利神经疾病学家圭多·韦德尼格最先描述两位兄弟患儿.1893-1900年,德国神经疾病学家约翰·霍夫曼进一步描述7位患儿.他们注意到这些患儿在出生后几个月内就出现不同程度的肌无力,且疾病发生具有一定家族性.他们进一步研究发现,这些患儿脊髓前角部位的运动神经元出现退化,正是这一原因导致骨骼肌功能受损.为纪念两位科学家,Ⅰ型脊髓性肌萎縮症又被称为“霍夫曼-韦德尼格病”.
