Endoplasmic reticulum stress induces hepatic steatosis through interaction between PPARα and FoxO6 in vivo and in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a major cause of hepatic steatosis through increasing de novo lipogenesis. Forkhead box O6 (FoxO6) is a transcription factor mediating insulin signaling to glucose and lipid metabolism. Therefore, dysregulated FoxO6 is involved in hepatic lipogenesis. This study elucidated the role of FoxO6 in ER stress-induced hepatic steatosis in vivo and in vitro. Hepatic ER stress responses and β-oxidation were monitored in mice overexpressed with constitutively active FoxO6 allele and FoxO6-null mice. For the in vitro study, liver cells overexpressing constitutively active FoxO6 and FoxO6-siRNA were treated with high glucose, and lipid metabolism alterations were measured. ER stress-induced FoxO6 activation suppressed hepatic β-oxidation in vivo. The expression and
