| Abstract | Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rapidly growing health threat that has previously been associated with lipogenesis. The direct effect of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inhibition on the induction of lipogenesis has not been investigated in hepatocytes in vitro. The impact of activating transcription factor4 (ATF4) on the lipogenic pathway and hepatic insulin transduction in liver cells also requires further investigation. In the present study, the triglyceride (TG) content of HepG2 cells stimulated with fructose was investigated using a commercially available enzymatic assay, and the expression levels of lipogenesisassociated factors were determined by western blotting and reverse transcriptionquantitative polymerase chain reaction. Notably, the TG content of HepG2 cells was increased following incubation with fructose, which was accompanied by ERS. 4Phenylbutyric acid, an inhibitor of ERS, lowered the TG content by reducing the mRNA expression levels of sterol regulatory elementbinding protein 1 (SREBP1c) and carbohydrateresponsive elementbinding protein (ChREBP), and the protein expression levels of fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetylCoA carboxylase (ACC) and stearoylCoA desaturase1 (SCD1). Conversely, tunicamycin, which is an inducer of ERS, increased the TG content and stimulated the expression of the above lipogeneic markers. ATF4 deficiency relieved TG accumulation and decreased the mRNA expression levels of SREBP1c and ChREBP, and protein expression levels of FAS, ACC and SCD1 in fructosetreated HepG2 cells. Conversely, ATF4 overexpression increased the TG content by upregulating the mRNA expression levels of SREBP1c and ChREBP and protein expression levels of FAS, ACC and SCD1. Inhibition of ERS was shown to protect HepG2 cells against fructoseinduced TG accumulation, whereas induction of ERS stimulated hepatic lipogenesis. As a downstream transcription factor of the unfolded protein response, a deficiency in ATF4 attenuates fructoseinduced lipogenesis; while an overexpression of ATF4 can induce TG accumulation through stimulating hepatic lipogenesis. The results of the present study suggested that ATF4 may exert various physiological roles in lipid metabolism depending on the nutrient composition. In addition, these results suggested that ATF4 has a role in regulating lipogenesis and in the development of NAFLD; thus ATF4 may be considered a therapeutic target for NAFLD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
