In Vitro: Acetyl coenzyme A lithium increases cytoplasmic protein acetylation in starved U2OS cells while reducing starvation-induced autophagic fluxes. (U2OS cells stably expressing GFP-LC3 and are microinjected with Acetyl coenzyme A lithium; incubated in nutrient-free conditions in the presence of 100 nM BafA1 and fixed after 3 h).
In Vivo: Acetyl coenzyme A lithium blunts pressure overload-induced cardiomyopathy in a mice cardiac pressure overload model by Suppressing maladaptive autophagy.Mice deprived of food (but with access to water ad libitum) for 24 h exhibit a significant reduction in total Acetyl coenzyme A lithium levels in several organs, including the heart and muscles, corresponding to a decrease in protein acetylation levels. However, the same experimental conditions have no major effects on Acetyl coenzyme A lithium concentrations in the brain and actually increase hepatic Acetyl coenzyme A lithium and protein acetylation levels.
