Figure 7
Figure 7 The molecular mechanism diagram. Down-regulation of lysine acetyltransferase 2A reduces adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) succinylation. Reduced AMPK succinylation inhibits the interaction between AMPK and liver kinase B1, thereby suppressing AMPK phosphorylation. Inhibition of AMPK phosphorylation promotes pyroptosis and inflammation in gallbladder mucosal epithelial cells, ultimately leading to gallstone formation. TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor; IL: Interleukin; suc: Succinylation; GMECs: Gallbladder mucosal epithelial cells.
