Transcriptional profiling of the response to starvation and fattening reveals differential regulation of autophagy genes in mammals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nutrient deprivation (starvation) induced by fasting and hypercaloric regimens are stress factors that can influence cell and tissue homeostasis in mammals. One of the key cellular responses to changes in nutrient availability is the cell survival pathway autophagy. While there has been much research into the protein networks regulating autophagy, less is known about the gene expression networks involved in this fundamental process. Here, we applied a network algorithm designed to analyse omics datasets, to identify sub-networks that are enriched for induced genes in response to starvation. This enabled us to identify two prominent active modules, one composed of key stress-induced transcription factors, including members of the Jun, Fos and ATF families, and the other comprising autophagosome sub-network genes, including ULK1. The results were validated in the brain, liver and muscle of fasting mice. Moreover, differential expression analysis of autophagy genes in the brain, liver and muscle of high-fat diet-exposed mice showed significant suppression of GABARAPL1 in the liver. Finally, our data provide a resource that may facilitate the future identification of regulators of autophagy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
