Dietary lipids attenuate IGF-1-Akt and injure epithelial-endothelial injury program that accelerates obstructive lung disease

Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Metabolic lipotoxicity injures multiple organs, but its impact on the lung remains unclear. Here we show that a high-fat diet (HFD) accelerates obstructive pathology in βENaC-transgenic mice and worsens elastase-induced emphysema. Lung transcriptomics reveal repression and rewiring of PI3K–Akt survival circuitry; in both models, phospho-Akt is reduced, FOXO1 is increased, and epithelial apoptosis...
