AMP-activated protein kinase activators have compound and concentration-specific effects on brain metabolism

Lavanya B. Achanta et al.

Summary: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in balancing anabolic and catabolic activities, and may have significant impacts on brain metabolism due to its high energy demands. Through NMR spectroscopy, we activated AMPK in guinea pig cortical tissue slices using direct and indirect activators, and found that different activator concentrations had distinct effects on metabolism. Direct activation with PF 06409577 increased Krebs cycle activity and restored pyruvate metabolism, while A769662 increased lactate and alanine production, as well as labeling of citrate and glutamine. These findings highlight the complex metabolic response to AMPK activators in the brain and emphasize the need for further research on their concentration- and mechanism-dependent impact.

The aldolase inhibitor aldometanib mimics glucose starvation to activate lysosomal AMPK

Chen-Song Zhang et al.

Summary: A small-molecule aldolase inhibitor, aldometanib, is reported to selectively activate the lysosomal pool of AMPK, leading to glucose-lowering effects. This compound mimics the cellular state of glucose starvation and shows potential as a therapeutic for metabolic disorders in humans.

Post-Translational Modifications of the Energy Guardian AMP-Activated Protein Kinase

Ashley J. Ovens et al.

Summary: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a crucial role in adaptive responses to exercise, and its post-translational modifications extensively influence its activity, subcellular localization, nutrient interactions, and protein stability. Areas for further research include novel regulatory modifications of AMPK and improving characterization of these modifications.

AICAr, a Widely Used AMPK Activator with Important AMPK-Independent Effects: A Systematic Review

Dora Visnjic et al.

Summary: AICAr is commonly used as a pharmacological modulator of AMPK activity, but some effects attributed to AMPK activation have been found to be AMPK-independent. Caution is needed when interpreting studies based on AICAr, especially in the context of understanding the AMPK signaling pathway.

Mitochondria-localized AMPK responds to local energetics and contributes to exercise and energetic stress-induced mitophagy

Joshua C. Drake et al.

Summary: Mitochondria form a complex, interconnected reticulum maintained through coordination among biogenesis, dynamic fission, fusion and mitophagy in response to various cues. Specific isoforms of AMP-activated protein kinase are localized on the outer mitochondrial membrane and vary in activation across the reticulum in response to energetic stress. The discovery highlights the complexity of sensing cellular energetics in vivo and its implications for targeting mitochondrial energetics in disease treatment.
