Transcriptional changes impact hepatic proteome in autophagy-impaired liver.

ABSTRACT: Hepatic proteomes are intricately controlled through biosynthesis, extracellular secretion, and intrahepatic degradation. Autophagy governs lysosome-mediated intrahepatic degradation and the hepatic proteome. When autophagy is impaired, it leads to the accumulation of intrahepatic proteins, causing proteinopathy. This study investigates whether autophagy can modulate the hepatic proteome non-degradatively. Utilizing conditional, inducible, and hepatotoxin models of hepatic autophagy impairment, we assessed the overall hepatic proteome expression using Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) staining and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS). We pinpointed and confirmed four specific hepatic proteins-Cps1, Ahcy, Ca3, and Gstm1-that were selectively modified in autophagy-deficient li
