Abstract

Sterol regulatory-element binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate lipid homeostasis and metabolism by controlling the expression of enzymes required for endogenous cholesterol, fatty acid (FA), triacylglycerol, and phospholipid synthesis. The three SREBPs are encoded by two different genes. The SREBP1 gene gives rise to SREBP-1a and SREBP-1c, which are derived from utilization of alternate promoters that yield transcripts in which distinct first exons are spliced to a common second exon. SREBP-2 is derived from a separate gene. Additionally, SREBPs are implicated in numerous pathogenic processes, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis. They also contribute to obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases. Genome-wide analyses have revealed that these versatile transcription factors act as important nodes of biological signaling networks. Changes in cell metabolism and growth are reciprocally linked through SREBPs. Anabolic and growth signaling pathways branch off and connect to multiple steps of SREBP activation and form complex regulatory networks. SREBPs are activated through the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway in these processes, but the molecular mechanism remains to be understood. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of SREBPs in physiology and pathophysiology at the cell, organ, and organism levels.

SREBPs는 지질의 항상성 및 대사를 조절하는 전사 인자이다. 이들은 내인성 콜레스테롤, 지방산(FA), 트리아실글리세롤(TG) 및 인지질 합성에 필요한 효소의 발현을 정밀하게 조절한다. 3종류의 SREBP 단백질은 2개의 다른 유전자에 의해 암호화 된다. SREBP1 유전자는 SREBP-1a와 SREBP-1c를 만든다. 이는 RNA의 alternative splicing에 의한 대체 프로모터의 이용으로부터 유도된다. SREBP-2는 별도의 유전자에서 유래한다. 또한, SREBPs는 ER 스트레스, 염증, 자가포식 및 세포사멸과 같은 수많은 병인과정에 관여하며, 비만, 이상 지질혈증, 당뇨병 및 비알콜성 지방간 질환 등을 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 유전체의 분석은 SREBPs가 생물학적 신호 전달, 세포 신진 대사, 및 성장을 조절하는 중요한 연결고리임을 보여 주었다. 이 과정에서 SREBP는 PI3K-Akt-mTOR 경로를 통해 활성화 된다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 정확한 분자 메커니즘은 좀더 밝혀져야 한다. 이 리뷰에서는 세포, 기관 및 생물개체 수준의 생리학 및 병태 생리학 영역에서 SREBP의 역할에 대한 포괄적인 이해를 넓혀 줄 것이다.
