タイトル Drosophila HNF4 acts in distinct tissues to direct a switch between lipid storage and export in the gut.
ジャーナル Cell Rep
Abstract Nutrient digestion, absorption, and export must be coordinated in the gut to meet the nutritional needs of the organism. We used the Drosophila intestine to characterize the mechanisms that coordinate the fate of dietary lipids. We identified enterocytes specialized in absorbing and exporting lipids to peripheral organs. Distinct hepatocyte-like cells, called oenocytes, communicate with these enterocytes to adjust intestinal lipid storage and export. A single transcription factor, Drosophila hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (dHNF4), supports this gut-liver axis. In enterocytes, dHNF4 maximizes dietary lipid export by preventing their sequestration in cytoplasmic lipid droplets. In oenocytes, dHNF4 promotes the expression of the insulin antagonist ImpL2 to activate Foxo and suppress lipid retention in enterocytes. Disruption of this switch between lipid storage and export is associated with intestinal inflammation, suggesting a lipidic origin for inflammatory bowel diseases. These studies establish dHNF4 as a central regulator of intestinal metabolism and inter-organ lipid trafficking.
