    Journal:  Rab7a-mTORC1 signaling-mediated cholesterol trafficking from the lysosome to mitochondria ameliorates hepatic lipotoxicity induced by aflatoxin B1 exposure. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 2, 2023   
    In vivo, mTORC1 inhibitor (Torin1, 4?mg?kg, i.p., every other day for 3 weeks) alleviated the cholesterol trafficking disorder-mediated hepatic lipotoxicity via upregulating the molecular machinery of lysosomes and mitochondria contacts mediated by NPC1 and TSPO interaction in the low dose of AFB1 exposure. Altogether, our data suggested a novel mechanism that lysosomal Rab7a-mTORC1 signaling determines the cholesterol trafficking regulated by NPC1-TSPO from the lysosome to mitochondria, which promotes hepatic lipotoxicity via lysosomal quality control and mitochondria-dependent necroptosis signaling pathways in chemical mixture exposure.

    In this review, we will discuss the overlapping pathways connecting cholesterol trafficking with innate immunity and present evidence that cholesterol accumulation in the bone marrow may drive systemic inflammation in chronically inflamed pathologies. Lastly, we will review the current therapeutic strategies that target both inflammation and cholesterol transport, and how biologic therapy restores lipoprotein function and mitigates the immune response.
