A model for the insulin–PKB–TRIM24 signalling pathway in control of hepatic lipogenesis via P-bodies. Insulin stimulates phosphorylation of TRIM24 via PKB in hepatocytes, which translocates TRIM24 from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Cytosolic TRIM24 is targeted to Pparγ-containing P-bodies, where it interacts with P-body components such as EDC4 and AGO1/2 and ubiquitinates these proteins to stabilise Pparγ mRNA. This pathway promotes lipid accumulation in the liver, and its inhibition alleviates diet-induced hepatosteatosis.
