Abstract:
:Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors governing transcription of genes related to cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. To become active, SREBPs must undergo a proteolytic cleavage to allow an active NH(2)-terminal segment to translocate into the nucleus. SKI-1/S1P is the first protease in the proteolytic activation cascade of SREBPs. SREBP inhibition may be useful, for example, in the treatment of liver steatosis caused by homocysteine-induced lipid synthesis. Accordingly, we overexpressed inhibitory prodomains (proSKI) of SKI-1/S1P in HepG2 cells to block SREBP activation to evaluate the potential of SKI-1/S1P in controlling cellular cholesterol synthesis. SKI-1/S1P inhibition resulted in reduced cholesterol synthesis and mRNA levels of the rate-limiting enzymes, HMG-CoA reductase and squalene epoxidase, in the cholesterol synthetic pathway. The inhibitory effect was maintained in the presence of homocysteine-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress. A gene set enrichment analysis was performed to elucidate other metabolic effects caused by SKI-1/S1P inhibition. SKI-1/S1P inhibition was observed to affect a number of other metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and citric acid cycle. These results demonstrate that inhibition of SREBPs decreases cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells both in the absence and presence of homocysteine. SKI-1/S1P inhibition may cause widespread changes in other key metabolic pathways.
