Nesfatin-1 and nesfatin-1-like peptide attenuate hepatocyte lipid accumulation and nucleobindin-1 disruption modulates lipid metabolic pathways
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nesfatin-1 (NESF-1) has been shown to modulate lipid metabolism. We have identified a nesfatin-1-like-peptide (NLP) processed from a related precursor nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1). Here we determined if NLP, like NESF-1, regulates lipid accumulation in vitro, and tested if the disruption of nucb1 gene affects hepatic lipid metabolism genes in mice. Hepatocytes (HepG2/C3A cells) express NLP and NESF-1 and both peptides significantly reduced lipogenic enzyme mRNAs and enhanced beta-oxidation enzyme mRNAs. Lipid contents in oleic acid induced HepG2/C3A cells were attenuated by NESF-1 and NLP. The inhibitory effect on cellular lipid content was blocked by compound C, an inhibitor of AMPK. The disruption of nucb1 gene affected lipid metabolism-related enzyme mRNAs, endogenous nucb2 mRNA and AMPK phosphorylation. The lipid-lowering effects identified here highlights the potential of nucleobindins and peptides processed from them to address lipid disorders, and its possible benefits in metabolic disease management.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
