Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting HMGCS2 in human AECIIs. Primary outcome: lipid metabolism restoration
Gain-of-function experiments were performed to study the role of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2) in regulating alveolar epithelial cell lipid metabolism. Ectopic expression of HMGCS2 in AECIIs was achieved to investigate its effects on lipid degradation and cellular function. The experiments demonstrated that HMGCS2 promotes lipid degradation through interaction with PPARα and upregulation of CPT1A and CPT2 expression.
Overexpression of HMGCS2, assessment of lipid degradation markers and CPT1A/CPT2 expression
