Influence of vitamin K2 on lipid precursors of inflammation and fatty acids pathway activities in HepG2 cells. Eur J Cell Biol 2021; 100:151188. [PMID: 34837768 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejcb.2021.151188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Vitamin K2 (VK2) is one of the two types of vitamin K present most in the human diet. VK2 seems to have a beneficial effect on inflammation related to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of VK2 on lipid precursors of inflammation in lipid-overloaded human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Cells were incubated with VK2 and/or palmitic acid (PA). The concentrations of lipid fractions and their fatty acid compositions were measured by gas-liquid chromatography. The expression of proteins involved in the inflammatory process was detected using western blotting. The concentration of triacylglycerols (TAGs), activities of the n-3 pathway in TAGs, and lipooxygenase 15 expression were significantly elevated in cells incubated with PA and VK2. In the same group, a marked elevation in diacylglycerol (DAG) 20:4 was observed. VK2 supplementation lowered the expression of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 compared to that in the PA group. The data indicate that VK2 redirects fatty acid metabolism into the deposition of a safe TAG fraction by increasing the concentration of anti-inflammatory n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in this fraction. Moreover, VK2 stimulates the synthesis of anti-inflammatory factors and has anti-inflammatory effects by reducing DAG 20:4.

Protective Effects of Low-Dose Alcohol against Acute Stress-Induced Renal Injury in Rats: Involvement of CYP4A/20-HETE and LTB 4/BLT1 Pathways. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:4475968. [PMID: 34691354 PMCID: PMC8528604 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4475968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Low-dose alcohol possesses multiple bioactivities. Accordingly, we investigated the protective effect and related molecular mechanism of low-dose alcohol against acute stress- (AS-) induced renal injury. Herein, exhaustive swimming for 15 min combined with restraint stress for 3 h was performed to establish a rat acute stress model, which was verified by an open field test. Evaluation of renal function (blood creatinine and urea nitrogen), urine test (urine leukocyte esterase and urine occult blood), renal histopathology, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis was performed. The key indicators of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4A1/20-hydroxystilbenetetraenoic acid (20-HETE) pathway, cyclooxygenase (COX)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) pathway, and leukotriene B4 (LTB4)/leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) pathway were measured by real-time PCR and ELISA. We found that low-dose alcohol (0.05 g/kg, i.p.) ameliorated AS-induced renal dysfunction and histological damage. Low-dose alcohol also attenuated AS-induced oxidative stress and inflammation, presenting as reduced malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide formation, increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione activity, and decreased myeloperoxidase, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels (P < 0.05). Moreover, low-dose alcohol alleviated AS-induced apoptosis by downregulating Bax and cleaved caspase 3 protein expression and reduced numbers of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end label-positive cells (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis indicated that 20-HETE was strongly correlated with oxidative stress, while LTB4 was strongly correlated with inflammation. Low-dose alcohol inhibited AS-induced increases in CYP4A1, CYP4A2, CYP4A3, CYP4A8, and BLT1 mRNA levels and LTB4 and 20-HETE content (P < 0.01). Interestingly, low-dose alcohol had no effect on COX1 or COX2 mRNA expression or the concentration of PGE2. Furthermore, low-dose alcohol reduced calcium-independent phospholipase A2 mRNA expression, but did not affect secreted phospholipase A2 or cytosolic phospholipase A2 mRNA expression. Together, these results indicate that low-dose alcohol ameliorated AS-induced renal injury by inhibiting CYP4A/20-HETE and LTB4/BLT1 pathways, but not the COX/PGE2 pathway.

Abstract
Salicylic acid is a plant hormone that can mediate various plant physiological processes. Salicylic acid can bind to human high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and interrupt its role in mediating immune responses. Dorsal switch protein 1 (DSP1) is an insect homolog of HMGB1. In this study, a DSP1 (Se-DSP1) encoded in Spodoptera exigua, a phytophagous insect, was characterized, and its potential role in immune response was explored. Upon bacterial challenge, Se-DSP1 was localized in the nucleus and released into the hemolymph. The released Se-DSP1 could mediate both cellular and humoral immune responses by activating eicosanoid biosynthesis. Salicylic acid could bind to Se-DSP1 with a high affinity. The immune responses of S. exigua were significantly interrupted by SA feeding. Larvae reared on tomatoes with high endogenous SA levels became more susceptible to entomopathogens. Taken together, these results suggest a tritrophic defensive role of plant SA against phytophagous insects.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is a major contributor to the morbidity and mortality of patients with diabetes. TNF-α expression is elevated during diabetes and is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy; however, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of TNF-α on the basolateral inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir)4.1/Kir5.1 channels in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of rat kidneys using western blotting and the patch clamp technique to provide a theoretical basis for the cause of the decrease in kidney concentrating capacity during diabetes. The results demonstrated that urinary TNF-α excretion and protein TNF-α expression in the TAL increased and basolateral Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channel activity decreased during diabetes; however, diabetic rats exhibited amelioration of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 activity with a soluble TNF-α antagonist, TNF receptor fusion protein (TNFR:Fc). These results suggested that TNF-α inhibited the activity of the basolateral Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channel in the TAL of rat kidneys during diabetes. In addition, the protein expression levels of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) increased in diabetic rats, the effects of which deceased following treatment with TNFR:Fc compared with the diabetic group. Furthermore, an agonist of PLA2 (melittin) and COX2 production [prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)] inhibited the basolateral Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels. Taken together, the results of the present study suggested that the inhibitory effect of TNF-α on the basolateral Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels in the TAL during diabetes is mediated by the PLA2/COX2/PGE2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
How parvovirus manipulates host lipid metabolism to facilitate its propagation, pathogenicity and consequences for disease, is poorly characterized. Here, we addressed this question using porcine parvovirus (PPV) to understand the complex interactions of parvovirus with lipid metabolism networks contributing to the identification of novel and practical antiviral candidates. PPV significantly alters host lipid composition, characteristic of subclasses of phospholipids and sphingolipids, and induces lipid droplets (LDs) formation via regulating calcium-independent PLA2β (iPLA2β), phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2), diacylglycerol kinase α (DKGα), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase θ (LPAATθ), and sphingosine kinases (SphK1 and SphK2). PPV utilizes and exploits these enzymes as well as their metabolites and host factors including MAPKs (p38 and ERK1/2), protein kinase C (PKC) and Ca2+ to induce S phase arrest, apoptosis and incomplete autophagy, all benefit to PPV propagation. PPV also suppresses prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis via downregulating cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), indicating PPV hijacks COX-1-PGE2 axis to evade immune surveillance. Our data support a model where PPV to establishes an optimal environment for its propagation and pathogenicity via co-opting host lipid metabolism, being positioned as a source of potential targets.

Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear protein highly conserved in eukaryotes and ubiquitously expressed to regulate transcription and chromatin remodeling. Dorsal switch protein 1 (DSP1) is its insect homolog. A lepidopteran DSP1 acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) in response to immune challenge. The objective of this study was to determine the role of DAMP in the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a coleopteran insect. DSP1 of T. molitor (Tm-DSP1) encodes 536 amino acids and shares sequence similarities with Homo sapiens HMGB1 (56.3%) and Spodoptera exigua DSP1 (59.2%). An antisera raised against S. exigua DSP1 was cross-reactive to Tm-DSP1. Like other insect DSPs, Tm-DSP1 has a relatively long N-terminal extension in addition to two conserved HMG box domains. It was expressed in all developmental stages of T. molitor and different larval tissues. Upon immune challenge, its expression level was upregulated. Its RNA interference (RNAi) treatment resulted in a significant reduction in immune responses measured by hemocyte nodule formation against bacterial infection. In addition, the induction of some antimicrobial peptide genes to the immune challenge was suppressed by its RNAi treatment. Interestingly, phospholipase A2 associated with eicosanoid biosynthesis was significantly suppressed in its catalytic activity by the RNAi treatment specific to Tm-DSP1 expression. Without any pathogen infection, injection of a lepidopteran DSP1 induced both cellular and humoral immune responses. These results suggest that Tm-DSP1 in T. molitor can act as a DAMP molecule and mediate immune responses upon immune challenge.

Abstract
The secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) group of secreted enzymes hydrolyze phospholipids and lead to the production of multiple biologically active lipid mediators. sPLA2s and their products (e.g., eicosanoids) play a significant role in the pathophysiology of various inflammatory diseases, including life-threatening lung disorders such as acute lung injury (ALI) and the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The ALI/ARDS spectrum of severe inflammatory conditions is caused by direct (such as bacterial or viral pneumonia) or indirect insults (sepsis) that are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Several sPLA2 isoforms are upregulated in patients with ARDS as well as in multiple ALI preclinical models, and individual sPLA2s exert unique roles in regulating ALI pathophysiology. This brief review will summarize the contributions of specific sPLA2 isoforms as markers and mediators in ALI, supporting a potential therapeutic role for targeting them in ARDS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) plays an important role in regulating the production of arachidonic acid and various eicosanoids. The aim of our study was to investigate the analgesic mechanisms of calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 and calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) inhibitors in the spinal cord in a rat model of neuropathic pain. METHODS Lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligation was performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats to develop a peripheral neuropathic pain model. Paw withdrawal thresholds in response to von Frey filaments, brush, pressure, and pinch were measured. Lumbar wide dynamic range neuronal firing rates and iPLA2 subtype expression were measured by in vivo extracellular recording and double immunofluorescence staining, respectively. RESULTS In our rat models, oral administration of prednisolone, a non-selective PLA2 inhibitor, and intrathecal injection of bromoenolactone, a iPLA2 inhibitor, significantly increased the ipsilateral hindpaw withdrawal thresholds in response to von Frey filament stimulation, but intrathecal injection of arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone, a selective cytosolic PLA2 inhibitor, did not show significant changes. In spinal dorsal horn neurons, bromoenolactone reduced neuronal firing rates in response to withdrawal stimulation and spontaneous firing rates in the ipsilateral side of the spinal dorsal horn. In addition, the expression of iPLA2 was co-localized with astrocytes and neurons on the ipsilateral side of the dorsal horn in rats that underwent spinal nerve ligation. DISCUSSION These data suggest that selective iPLA2 inhibitor produce analgesia in neuropathic rats by reducing central sensitization in the dorsal horn.

Eicosanoid blood vessel regulation in physiological and pathological states. Clin Sci (Lond) 2021; 134:2707-2727.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid can be metabolized in blood vessels by three primary enzymatic pathways; cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LO), and cytochrome P450 (CYP). These eicosanoid metabolites can influence endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function. COX metabolites can cause endothelium-dependent dilation or constriction. Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) and thromboxane (TXA2) act on their respective receptors exerting opposing actions with regard to vascular tone and platelet aggregation. LO metabolites also influence vascular tone. The 12-LO metabolite 12S-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (12S-HETE) is a vasoconstrictor whereas the 15-LO metabolite 11,12,15-trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12,15-THETA) is an endothelial-dependent hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). CYP enzymes produce two types of eicosanoid products: EDHF vasodilator epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and the vasoconstrictor 20-HETE. The less-studied cross-metabolites generated from arachidonic acid metabolism by multiple pathways can also impact vascular function. Likewise, COX, LO, and CYP vascular eicosanoids interact with paracrine and hormonal factors such as the renin-angiotensin system and endothelin-1 (ET-1) to maintain vascular homeostasis. Imbalances in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell COX, LO, and CYP metabolites in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases result in vascular dysfunction. Restoring the vascular balance of eicosanoids by genetic or pharmacological means can improve vascular function in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, future research is necessary to achieve a more complete understanding of how COX, LO, CYP, and cross-metabolites regulate vascular function in physiological and pathological states.

Abstract
Macrophages are professional antigen presenting cells with intense phagocytic activity, strategically distributed in tissues and cavities. These cells are capable of responding to a wide variety of innate inflammatory stimuli, many of which are signaled by lipid mediators. The distribution of arachidonic acid (AA) among glycerophospholipids and its subsequent release and conversion into eicosanoids in response to inflammatory stimuli such as zymosan, constitutes one of the most studied models. In this work, we used liquid and/or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to study the changes in the levels of membrane glycerophospholipids of mouse peritoneal macrophages and the implication of group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) in the process. In the experimental model used, we observed that the acute response of macrophages to zymosan stimulation involves solely the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), which mediates the rapid synthesis of prostaglandins E2 and I2. Using pharmacological inhibition and antisense inhibition approaches, we established that cPLA2α is the enzyme responsible for AA mobilization. Zymosan stimulation strongly induced the hydrolysis of AA-containing choline glycerophospholipids (PC) and a unique phosphatidylinositol (PI) species, while the ethanolamine-containing glycerophospholipids remained constant or slightly increased. Double-labeling experiments with 3H- and 14C-labeled arachidonate unambiguously demonstrated that PC is the major, if not the exclusive source, of AA for prostaglandin E2 production, while both PC and PI appeared to contribute to prostaglandin I2 synthesis. Importantly, in this work we also show that the COX-1-derived prostaglandins produced during the early steps of macrophage activation restrict tumor necrosis factor-α production. Collectively, these findings suggest new approaches and targets to the selective inhibition of lipid mediator production in response to fungal infection.

Abstract
Previous expression/purification strategies for cytosolic phospholipase A2α C2-domain in Escherichia coli have relied on refolded protein recovered from inclusion bodies and sometimes containing C-terminal Cys139Ala and Cys141Ser substitutions to eliminate potential refolding complications induced by Cys residues. The protocol presented herein describes an effective method for the expression of cytosolic phospholipase A2α C2-domain in soluble form in E. coli and subsequent purification to homogeneity. This protocol, which utilizes a cleavable 6xHis-SUMO tag, has recently been used to gain insights into the structural basis of phosphatidylcholine recognition by the C2-domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2α ( Hirano et al., 2019 ).

Abstract
Background The combined effects of glyphosate and hard water on chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CDKu) have attracted much interest, but the mechanisms remain unknown. Cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) plays a key role in the acute and chronic inflammatory reactions. This study explored the effect of glyphosate combined with hard water on renal tubules and the possible targets and mechanisms involved. Methods In vivo experiments were conducted to investigate the synergistic effects and potential mechanisms of glyphosate and hard water on renal tubular injury in mice. Results Administration of glyphosate in mice resulted in elevated levels of β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), albumin (ALB), and serum creatinine (SCr) compared to control mice. This increase was more pronounce when glyphosate was combined with hard water. In the glyphosate-treated mice, small areas of the kidney revealed fibroblast proliferation and vacuolar degeneration, particularly at the higher dose of 400 mg/kg glyphosate. However, the combination of glyphosate and hard water induced an even greater degree of pathological changes in the kidney. Immunofluorescence and western blot analyses showed that glyphosate and hard water had a coordinated effect on calcium ions (Ca2+)-activated phospholipase A2 and the activation may play a key role in inflammation and renal tubular injury. Exposure to glyphosate alone or glyphosate plus hard water increased the levels of oxidative stress markers and inflammatory biomarkers, namely, thromboxane A2 (TX-A2), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and nitric oxide (NO). Parameters of oxidative stress, including the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were decreased. Further analysis showed that the levels of these biomarkers were significantly different between the mice treated with glyphosate plus hard water and the mice treated with glyphosate alone. Conclusions These findings suggested that hard water combined with glyphosate can induce renal tubular injury in mice, and this may involve mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)/cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2)/arachidonic acid (AA) and its downstream factors.

Abstract
Lipids have many important biological roles, such as energy storage sources, structural components of plasma membranes and as intermediates in metabolic and signaling pathways. Lipid metabolism is under tight homeostatic control, exhibiting spatial and dynamic complexity at multiple levels. Consequently, lipid-related disturbances play important roles in the pathogenesis of most of the common diseases. Lipidomics, defined as the study of lipidomes in biological systems, has emerged as a rapidly-growing field. Due to the chemical and functional diversity of lipids, the application of a systems biology approach is essential if one is to address lipid functionality at different physiological levels. In parallel with analytical advances to measure lipids in biological matrices, the field of computational lipidomics has been rapidly advancing, enabling modeling of lipidomes in their pathway, spatial and dynamic contexts. This review focuses on recent progress in systems biology approaches to study lipids in health and disease, with specific emphasis on methodological advances and biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are entomopathogenic bacteria that cause septicemia and toxemia in insects. They produce secondary metabolites to induce host immunosuppression. Their metabolite compositions vary among bacterial species. Little is known about the relationship between metabolite compositions and the bacterial pathogenicity. The objective of this study was to compare pathogenicity and production of secondary metabolites of 14 bacterial isolates (species or strains) of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus. RESULTS All bacterial isolates exhibited insecticidal activities after hemocoelic injection to Spodoptera exigua (a lepidopteran insect) larvae, with median lethal doses ranging from 168.8 to 641.3 CFU per larva. Bacterial infection also led to immunosuppression by inhibiting eicosanoid biosynthesis. Bacterial culture broth was fractionated into four different organic extracts. All four organic extracts of each bacterial species exhibited insecticidal activities and resulted in immunosuppression. These organic extracts were subjected to GC-MS analysis which predicted 182 compounds, showing differential compositions for 14 bacteria isolates. There were positive correlations between total number of secondary metabolites produced by each bacterial culture broth and its bacterial pathogenicity based on immunosuppression and insecticidal activity. From these correlation results, 70 virulent compounds were selected from secondary metabolites of high virulent bacterial isolates by deducting those of low virulent bacterial isolates. These selected virulent compounds exhibited significant immunosuppressive activities by inhibiting eicosanoid biosynthesis. They also exhibited relatively high insecticidal activities. CONCLUSION Virulence variation between Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus is determined by their different compositions of secondary metabolites, of which PLA2 inhibitors play a crucial role.

Abstract
Lysosome Associated Protein Transmembrane 4B (LAPTM4B) is a four-membrane spanning ceramide interacting protein that regulates mTORC1 signaling. Here, we show that LAPTM4B is sorted into intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) of multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) and released in small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) into conditioned cell culture medium and human urine. Efficient sorting of LAPTM4B into ILV membranes depends on its third transmembrane domain containing a sphingolipid interaction motif (SLim). Unbiased lipidomic analysis reveals a strong enrichment of glycosphingolipids in sEVs secreted from LAPTM4B knockout cells and from cells expressing a SLim-deficient LAPTM4B mutant. The altered sphingolipid profile is accompanied by a distinct SLim-dependent co-modulation of ether lipid species. The changes in the lipid composition of sEVs derived from LAPTM4B knockout cells is reflected by an increased stability of membrane nanodomains of sEVs. These results identify LAPTM4B as a determinant of the glycosphingolipid profile and membrane properties of sEVs.

Biomedicines 2020; 8:biomedicines8110480.

Abstract
Positional isomers of hexadecenoic acid are considered as fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties. The best known of them, palmitoleic acid (cis-9-hexadecenoic acid, 16:1n-7), has been identified as a lipokine with important beneficial actions in metabolic diseases. Hypogeic acid (cis-7-hexadecenoic acid, 16:1n-9) has been regarded as a possible biomarker of foamy cell formation during atherosclerosis. Notwithstanding the importance of these isomers as possible regulators of inflammatory responses, very little is known about the regulation of their levels and distribution and mobilization among the different lipid pools within the cell. In this work, we describe that the bulk of hexadecenoic fatty acids found in mouse peritoneal macrophages is esterified in a unique phosphatidylcholine species, which contains palmitic acid at the sn-1 position, and hexadecenoic acid at the sn-2 position. This species markedly decreases when the macrophages are activated with inflammatory stimuli, in parallel with net mobilization of free hexadecenoic acid. Using pharmacological inhibitors and specific gene-silencing approaches, we demonstrate that hexadecenoic acids are selectively released by calcium-independent group VIA phospholipase A2 under activation conditions. While most of the released hexadecenoic acid accumulates in free fatty acid form, a significant part is also transferred to other phospholipids to form hexadecenoate-containing inositol phospholipids, which are known to possess growth-factor-like-properties, and are also used to form fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids, compounds with known anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Collectively, these data unveil new pathways and mechanisms for the utilization of palmitoleic acid and its isomers during inflammatory conditions, and raise the intriguing possibility that part of the anti-inflammatory activity of these fatty acids may be due to conversion to other lipid mediators.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the highest prevalent diseases in humans. The chances of surviving cancer and its prognosis are very dependent on the affected tissue, body location, and stage at which the disease is diagnosed. Researchers and pharmaceutical companies worldwide are pursuing many attempts to look for compounds to treat this malignancy. Most of the current strategies to fight cancer implicate the use of compounds acting on DNA damage checkpoints, non-receptor tyrosine kinases activities, regulators of the hedgehog signaling pathways, and metabolic adaptations placed in cancer. In the last decade, the finding of a lipid peroxidation increase linked to 15-lipoxygenases isoform 1 (15-LOX-1) activity stimulation has been found in specific successful treatments against cancer. This discovery contrasts with the production of other lipid oxidation signatures generated by stimulation of other lipoxygenases such as 5-LOX and 12-LOX, and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) activities, which have been suggested as cancer biomarkers and which inhibitors present anti-tumoral and antiproliferative activities. These findings support the previously proposed role of lipid hydroperoxides and their metabolites as cancer cell mediators. Depletion or promotion of lipid peroxidation is generally related to a specific production source associated with a cancer stage or tissue in which cancer originates. This review highlights the potential therapeutical use of chemical derivatives to stimulate or block specific cellular routes to generate lipid hydroperoxides to treat this disease.

Abstract
To examine the role of group VIA phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β) in specific cell lineages in insulin secretion and insulin action, we prepared mice with a selective iPLA2β deficiency in cells of myelomonocytic lineage, including macrophages (MØ-iPLA2β-KO), or in insulin-secreting β-cells (β-Cell-iPLA2β-KO), respectively. MØ-iPLA2β-KO mice exhibited normal glucose tolerance when fed standard chow and better glucose tolerance than floxed-iPLA2β control mice after consuming a high-fat diet (HFD). MØ-iPLA2β-KO mice exhibited normal glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in vivo and from isolated islets ex vivo compared to controls. Male MØ-iPLA2β-KO mice exhibited enhanced insulin responsivity vs. controls after a prolonged HFD. In contrast, β-cell-iPLA2β-KO mice exhibited impaired glucose tolerance when fed standard chow, and glucose tolerance deteriorated further when introduced to a HFD. β-Cell-iPLA2β-KO mice exhibited impaired GSIS in vivo and from isolated islets ex vivo vs. controls. β-Cell-iPLA2β-KO mice also exhibited an enhanced insulin responsivity compared to controls. These findings suggest that MØ iPLA2β participates in HFD-induced deterioration in glucose tolerance and that this mainly reflects an effect on insulin responsivity rather than on insulin secretion. In contrast, β-cell iPLA2β plays a role in GSIS and also appears to confer some protection against deterioration in β-cell functions induced by a HFD.

Abstract
Lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) has been characterized for its interfacial activation as well as inhibition by detergent micelles and lipoprotein particles. The enzyme has been shown to bind on the surfaces of hydrophobic aggregates, such as detergent micelles, lipoprotein particles and even polystyrene latex nanobeads. Binding to hydrophobic aggregates stimulates the activity of Lp-PLA2 but may not be the necessary step for catalysis. However, at higher concentrations, detergent micelles, latex nanobeads or lipoprotein particles inhibit Lp-PLA2 possibly by blocking the access of substrates to the active site. The competition mechanism also blocks inhibitors such as darapladib binding to Lp-PLA2 and reduces the efficacy of the drug. Darapladib has very low solubility and mainly exists in solutions as complexes with detergents or lipoprotein particles. The inhibition of Lp-PLA2 by darapladib is dependent on many factors such as concentrations of detergents or lipoproteins, incubation time, as well as the order of mixing reaction components. The in vitro Lp-PLA2 activity assays used in clinical studies may not accurately reflect the residual Lp-PLA2 activity in vivo. Darapladib has been found mainly bound on HDL and albumin when it is incubated with human serum. However, Lp-PLA2 is more sensitive to darapladib when bound on LDL and relatively resistant to darapladib when bound on HDL. Therefore, high cholesterol levels may decrease the efficacy of darapladip and cause the drug to be less effective in high risk patients. Our study will help to design better inhibitors for Lp-PLA2. The discoveries also contribute to understanding the mechanism of interfacial activation and inhibition for Lp-PLA2 and provide a new concept for researchers in building better kinetic model for interfacial enzymes.

Abstract
Endocannabinoid signaling plays a regulatory role in various (neuro)biological functions. 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is the most abundant endocannabinoid, and although its canonical biosynthetic pathway involving phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and diacylglycerol lipase α is known, alternative pathways remain unsettled. Here, we characterize a noncanonical pathway implicating glycerophosphodiesterase 3 (GDE3, from GDPD2 gene). Human GDE3 expressed in HEK293T cell membranes catalyzed the conversion of lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) into monoacylglycerol and inositol-1-phosphate. The enzyme was equally active against 1-acyl and 2-acyl LPI. When using 2-acyl LPI, where arachidonic acid is the predominant fatty acid, LC-MS analysis identified 2-AG as the main product of LPI hydrolysis by GDE3. Furthermore, inositol-1-phosphate release into the medium occurred upon addition of LPI to intact cells, suggesting that GDE3 is actually an ecto-lysophospholipase C. In cells expressing G-protein-coupled receptor GPR55, GDE3 abolished 1-acyl LPI-induced signaling. In contrast, upon simultaneous ex-pression of GDE3 and cannabinoid receptor CB2, 2-acyl LPI evoked the same signal as that induced by 2-AG. These data strongly suggest that, in addition to degrading the GPR55 LPI ligand, GDE3 can act as a switch between GPR55 and CB2 signaling. Coincident with a major expression of both GDE3 and CB2 in the spleen, spleens from transgenic mice lacking GDE3 displayed doubling of LPI content compared with WT mice. Decreased production of 2-AG in whole spleen was also observed, supporting the in vivo relevance of our findings. These data thus open a new research avenue in the field of endocannabinoid generation and reinforce the view of GPR55 and LPI being genuine actors of the endocannabinoid system.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic relapsing inflammation in the intestine. Given their role in regulation of inflammation, long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) represent a potential supplementary therapeutic approach to current drug regimens used for IBD. Mechanistically, there is ample evidence for an anti-inflammatory and pro-resolution effect of long-chain n-3 PUFAs after they incorporate into cell membrane phospholipids. They disrupt membrane rafts and when released from the membrane suppress inflammatory signaling by activating PPAR-γ and free fatty acid receptor 4; furthermore, they shift the lipid mediator profile from pro-inflammatory eicosanoids to specialized pro-resolving mediators. The allocation of long-chain n-3 PUFAs also leads to a higher microbiome diversity in the gut, increases short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, and improves intestinal barrier function by sealing epithelial tight junctions. In line with these mechanistic studies, most epidemiological studies support a beneficial effect of long-chain n-3 PUFAs intake on reducing the incidence of IBD. However, the results from intervention trials on the prevention of relapse in IBD patients show no or only a marginal effect of long-chain n-3 PUFAs supplementation. In light of the current literature, international recommendations are supported that adequate diet-derived n-3 PUFAs might be beneficial in maintaining remission in IBD patients.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence confirms abnormal fatty acid (FAs) metabolism in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are endogenous ligands of the G protein-coupled receptors, which have anti-inflammatory properties and are a therapeutic target in many diseases. No clinical studies are concerned with the role of the GPR120 signaling pathway in schizophrenia. The aim of the study was to determine the differences in PUFA nutritional status and metabolism between patients with schizophrenia (SZ group) and healthy individuals (HC group). The study included 80 participants (40 in the SZ group, 40 in the HC group). There were no differences in serum GPR120 and PUFA concentrations and PUFA intake between the examined groups. In the HC group, there was a relationship between FAs in serum and GPR120 concentration (p < 0.05): α-linolenic acid (ALA) (R = −0.46), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (R = −0.54), omega-3 PUFAs (R = −0.41), arachidonic acid (AA) (R = −0.44). In the SZ group, FA serum concentration was not related to GPR120 (p > 0.05). In the HC group, ALA and DHA serum concentrations were independently associated with GPR120 (p < 0.05) in the model adjusted for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and accounted for 38.59% of GPR120 variability (p < 0.05). Our results indicate different metabolisms of FAs in schizophrenia. It is possible that the diminished anti-inflammatory response could be a component connecting GPR120 insensitivity with schizophrenia.

Abstract
Redox balance is essential for normal brain, hence dis-coordinated oxidative reactions leading to neuronal death, including programs of regulated death, are commonly viewed as an inevitable pathogenic penalty for acute neuro-injury and neurodegenerative diseases. Ferroptosis is one of these programs triggered by dyshomeostasis of three metabolic pillars: iron, thiols, and polyunsaturated phospholipids. This review focuses on: (1) lipid peroxidation (LPO) as the major instrument of cell demise, (2) iron as its catalytic mechanism, and (3) thiols as regulators of pro-ferroptotic signals, hydroperoxy lipids. Given the central role of LPO, we discuss the engagement of selective and specific enzymatic pathways versus random free radical chemical reactions in the context of the phospholipid substrates, their biosynthesis, intracellular location, and related oxygenating machinery as participants in ferroptotic cascades. These concepts are discussed in the light of emerging neuro-therapeutic approaches controlling intracellular production of pro-ferroptotic phospholipid signals and their non-cell-autonomous spreading, leading to ferroptosis-associated necroinflammation.

Abstract
As the largest secondary lymphoid organ, the spleen plays an important role in immune responses. The role of arachidonic acid (ARA) and its 20-carbon eicosanoids in modulating immune function has long been of interest. However, recent advances have enabled the identification of numerous other n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-derived oxylipins. Here, we investigate the effects of diet and sex on the spleen nonesterified oxylipin profiles and phospholipid and neutral lipid PUFA composition in Sprague-Dawley rats supplemented with oils rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or linoleic acid. Dietary ALA, EPA, and DHA resulted in lower levels of ARA and ARA oxylipins. Oxylipins derived from other n-6 PUFA were also reduced despite no or opposite effect on their PUFA levels. Each diet also resulted in higher levels of oxylipins almost exclusively derived from the supplemented PUFA, despite PUFA in the same biosynthetic pathway also often being increased. Further, while oxylipin differences often reflected changes to phospholipid PUFA, there were instances where they corresponded more closely to changes in neutral lipid PUFA. With respect to sex effects, >50% of lipoxygenase ARA-derived oxylipins were higher in males in at least one diet group, while multiple DHA oxylipins were lower in males only in rats provided the DHA diet. This fundamental description of oxylipin composition in the spleen, including the influence of diet and sex and the relationship to PUFA composition, will help inform future studies examining the functions of these oxylipins under physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Lipids play important roles in growth, reproduction, locomotion, and migration of fish. Municipal effluents, which are complex mixtures of biological and chemical compounds including flame retardants, have been shown to alter lipid metabletabolism in environmentally and experimentally exposed fish. Down-regulation of several genes coding for fatty acid metabolism enzymes has previously been reported in male northern pike (Esox lucius) collected in the St. Lawrence River (QC, Canada) downstream of a major primary wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) point of discharge. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to the Montreal's WWTP effluent on the lipidomic profile (i.e., fatty acids, acylcarnitines, and phospholipids) as well as the transcription of genes related to lipid metabolism in the liver of northern pike collected upstream and downstream of this WWTP effluent. Halogenated flame retardant concentrations were also determined in pike liver and used as markers of exposure to this effluent. Greater concentrations of saturated and monounsaturated lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs) and lower concentrations of polyunsaturated LPCs were determined in the liver of pike collected downstream of the WWTP compared to those collected upstream. Lower mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (pparα), a major regulator of lipid metabolism, were also measured in pike exposed to Montreal's WWTP effluent. In addition, the relative contributions (%) of LPC 18:2 and LPC14:0, compounds used as markers of obesity and inflammation, were significantly correlated with halogenated flame retardant concentrations and fish girth. Results of the present study suggest that chronic environmental exposure to a primary WWTP effluent can modulate the transcription of genes related to lipid metabolism, and hence affect the hepatic phospholipid composition of pike from the St. Lawrence River.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes play a major role in many diseases including the inflammatory cascade and specific potent small molecule inhibitors could be useful in studying their physiological role as well as for the development of drugs. In order to discover novel small molecule inhibitor platforms for members of the PLA2 superfamily of enzymes, we have applied computational approaches to determine the binding mode of potent inhibitors specific for particular PLA2s to the screening of chemical libraries. This has including the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Cancer Institute (NCI) Diversity Set V and the ChemBridge commercial compound libraries. We have then subjected identified inhibitor structures to recently developed lipidomics based screening assays to determine the XI(50) and specificity of the identified compounds for specific PLA2s. Herein we review this approach and report the identity of initial hits for both the Group IVA cytosolic PLA2 and the Group VIA calcium-independent PLA2 that are worthy of further structural modification to develop novel platforms for inhibitor development.

Abstract
Biomaterials composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) provide both mechanical support and a reservoir of constructive signaling molecules that promote functional tissue repair. Recently, matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs) have been reported as an integral component of ECM bioscaffolds. Although liquid-phase extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been the subject of intense investigation, their similarity to MBV is limited to size and shape. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based lipidomics and redox lipidomics were used to conduct a detailed comparison of liquid-phase EV and MBV phospholipids. Combined with comprehensive RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of the intravesicular cargo, we show that MBVs are a distinct and unique subpopulation of EV and a distinguishing feature of ECM-based biomaterials. The results begin to identify the differential biologic activities mediated by EV that are secreted by tissue-resident cells and deposited within the ECM.

Abstract
High fidelity and effective adaptive changes of the cell and tissue metabolism to changing environments require strict coordination of numerous biological processes. Multicellular organisms developed sophisticated signaling systems of monitoring and responding to these different contexts. Among these systems, oxygenated lipids play a significant role realized via a variety of re-programming mechanisms. Some of them are enacted as a part of pro-survival pathways that eliminate harmful or unnecessary molecules or organelles by a variety of degradation/hydrolytic reactions or specialized autophageal processes. When these "partial" intracellular measures are insufficient, the programs of cells death are triggered with the aim to remove irreparably damaged members of the multicellular community. These regulated cell death mechanisms are believed to heavily rely on signaling by a highly diversified group of molecules, oxygenated phospholipids (PLox). Out of thousands of detectable individual PLox species, redox phospholipidomics deciphered several specific molecules that seem to be diagnostic of specialized death programs. Oxygenated cardiolipins (CLs) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) have been identified as predictive biomarkers of apoptosis and ferroptosis, respectively. This has led to decoding of the enzymatic mechanisms of their formation involving mitochondrial oxidation of CLs by cytochrome c and endoplasmic reticulum-associated oxidation of PE by lipoxygenases. Understanding of the specific biochemical radical-mediated mechanisms of these oxidative reactions opens new avenues for the design and search of highly specific regulators of cell death programs. This review emphasizes the usefulness of such selective lipid peroxidation mechanisms in contrast to the concept of random poorly controlled free radical reactions as instruments of non-specific damage of cells and their membranes. Detailed analysis of two specific examples of phospholipid oxidative signaling in apoptosis and ferroptosis along with their molecular mechanisms and roles in reprogramming has been presented.

Ueda H. LPA receptor signaling as a therapeutic target for radical treatment of neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia. Pain Manag 2019; 10:43-53.

Abstract
Since the first discovery that the bioactive lipid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and LPA1 receptor signaling play a role in the initiation of neuropathic pain (NeuP), accumulated reports have supported the original findings and extended the study toward possible therapeutic applications. The present review describes beneficial roles of LPA receptor signaling in a variety of chronic pain, such as peripheral NeuP induced by nerve injury, chemotherapy and diabetes, central NeuP induced by cerebral ischemia with hemorrhage and spinal cord injury, and fibromyalgia-like wide spread pain induced by repeated cold, psychological and muscular acidic stress. Emerging mechanistic findings are the feed-forward amplification of LPA production through LPA1, LPA3 and microglia and the evidence for maintenance of chronic pain by LPA receptor signaling.

[PMID: 31862420 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2019.110817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Revised: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Lipids constitute a significant group of biological metabolites and the building blocks of all cell membranes. The abundance and stoichiometries of different lipid species are known to vary across the lifespan and metabolic state, yet the functional effects of these changes have been challenging to understand. Here we review the potentially powerful intersection of lipid metabolism, which determines membrane composition, and aging. We first introduce several key lipid classes that are associated with aging and aging-related disease, where they are found in organisms, and how they act on membrane structure and function. Instead of neutral lipids, which have primary roles in energy storage and homeostasis, we review known functions for polar lipids that control the physicochemical properties of cell membranes. We then focus on aging processes in the central nervous system (CNS), which is enriched in lipids and is highly dependent on membrane structure for function. Recent studies show how lipids act not just as biomarkers of aging and associated changes in the CNS, but as direct mediators of these processes. As a model system, we explore how fatty acid composition in the retina impact aging and aging-related disease. We propose that the biophysical effects of membrane structure on fundamental eukaryotic processes - mitochondrial respiration and autophagy - provide avenues by which lipid dysregulation can accelerate aging processes. Finally, we lay out ways in which an increased understanding of lipid membrane biology can be applied to studies of aging and lifespan.

Lipid Reshaping and Lipophagy Are Induced in a Modeled Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury of Blood Brain Barrier. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20153752. [PMID: 31370282 PMCID: PMC6696511 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20153752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Revised: 07/26/2019] [Accepted: 07/29/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury induced a remodeling of protein and lipid homeostasis, under oxidative stress and inflammatory status. Starvation occurring during I/R is a condition leading to autophagy activation, which allows abnormal material clearance or amino acid, or both, and fatty acid (FA) recycling essential for survival. This study investigated the lipid reshaping, peroxidation, and related-signaling pathways, in rat brain endothelial cells (RBE4) subjected to 3 h of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) and restoration of standard condition (I/R in vitro model). Lipids and proteins were analyzed after 1 or 24 h of oxygen and nutrient restoration. Together with the oxidative stress and inflammatory status, I/R injury induced a reshaping of neutral lipids and biogenesis of lipid droplets (LD) with excessive lipid storage. The increase of LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, an autophagy marker, and LC3 co-localization with LD suggest the activation of lipophagy machinery to counteract the cell engulfment. Lipophagy leads to cholesterol ester (CE) hydrolysis, increasing free cholesterol (FC) secretion, which occurred by specific transporters or unconventional exocytosis pathways, or both. Here, we propose that an unconventional spreading of FC and other lipid metabolites may influence the neurovascular unit (NVU) cells, contributing to Blood brain barrier (BBB) alteration or adaptation, or both, to the cumulative effects of several transient ischemia.
