Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Both PPAR and LXR are ligand-activated transcription factors that play pivotal roles in regulating lipid homeostasis. In the present study, we developed novel PPARα ligands that act in vivo to reduce plasma triglyceride levels. We also revealed that LPIN1, having dual functions in the regulation of lipid metabolism, is degraded by the E3 ubiquitin ligase BTRC. Furthermore, we investigated the subcellular localization and enzymatic activity regulation of the histone methyltransferase SETDB1. These findings will be useful for developing the drugs to treat metabolic diseases.
