Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 sets the stage for neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by causing mitochondrial dysfunction and altering mitochondria-associated membranes. Contact and apposition of mitochondrial-endoplasmic reticulum membranes are enhanced in brain cells in AD and associated with increases in tethering and spacing proteins that modulate many cellular processes. Contact site protein levels are higher in apoE4 cells. In apoE4 neurons, the NAD+/NADH ratio is lowered, reactive oxygen species are increased, and NAD/NADH pathway components and redox proteins are decreased. Oxidative phosphorylation is impaired and reserve ATP generation capacity is lacking. ApoE4 neurons have ∼50% fewer respiratory complex subunits (e.g., ATP synthase) and may increase translocase levels of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes to facilitate delivery of nucleus-encoded complex subunits. Respiratory complex assembly relies on mitochondrial cristae organizing system subunits that are altered in apoE4 cells, and apoE4 increases mitochondrial proteases that control respiratory subunit composition for complex assembly.

Nakatsu F, Tsukiji S. Chemo- and opto-genetic tools for dissecting the role of membrane contact sites in living cells: Recent advances and limitations. Curr Opin Chem Biol 2023; 73:102262.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are morphologically defined intracellular structures where cellular membranes are closely apposed. Recent progress has significantly advanced our understanding of MCSs with the use of new tools and techniques. Visualization of MCSs in living cells by split fluorescence proteins or FRET-based techniques tells us the dynamic property of MCSs. Manipulation of MCSs by chemically-induced dimerization (CID) or light-induced dimerization (LID) greatly contributes to our understanding of their functional aspects including inter-organelle lipid transport mediated by lipid transfer proteins (LTPs). Here we highlight recent advances in these tools and techniques as applied to MCSs, and we discuss their advantages and limitations.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption has a close relationship with blood lipid levels in a nonpregnant state, with a myriad of effects on the liver; however, little is known about the interaction of alcohol and lipids in the context of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). We herein aimed to determine the effect of alcohol on the lipid profile in a pregnant rat model, with a focus on FASD. Dry blood spots (50 µL) were obtained from rat maternal blood collected on gestational day (GD) 20, two hours after the last binge alcohol exposure (4.5 g/kg, GD 5-10; 6 g/kg, GD 11-20). The samples were then analyzed using high-throughput untargeted and targeted lipid profiling via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In untargeted lipidomics, 73 of 315 identified lipids were altered in the alcohol group compared to the pair-fed controls; 67 were downregulated and 6 were upregulated. In targeted analysis, 57 of the 260 studied lipid subspecies were altered, including Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), Phosphatidylglycerol (PG), Phosphatidic Acid (PA), Phosphatidylinositol (PI), and Phosphatidylserine (PS); 36 of these were downregulated and 21 lipid subspecies were upregulated. These findings suggest alcohol-induced dysregulation of lipids in the maternal blood of rats and provide novel insights into possible FASD mechanisms.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and Phosphatidylcholine (PC) are the most abundant glycerophospholipids in eukaryotic membranes. The differences in the physicochemical properties of their headgroups have contrasting modulatory effects on their interaction with intracellular macromolecules. As such, their overall impact on membrane structure and function differs significantly. Enzymatic methylation of PE's amine headgroup produces two methylated derivatives namely monomethyl PE (MMPE) and dimethyl PE (DMPE) which have physicochemical properties that generally range between that of PE and PC. Additionally, their influence on membrane properties differs from both PE and PC. Although variations in headgroup methylation have been reported to affect signaling pathways, the direct influence that these differences exert on the ionization properties of signaling phospholipids have not been investigated. Here, we briefly review membrane function and structure that are mediated by the differences in headgroup methylation between PE, MMPE, DMPE and PC. In addition, using 31P MAS NMR, we investigate the effect of these four phospholipids on the ionization properties of the ubiquitous signaling anionic lipid phosphatidic acid (PA). Our results show that PA's ionization properties are differentially affected by changes in phospholipid headgroup methylation. This could have important implications for PA-protein binding and hence physiological functions in cells where signaling events lead to changes in abundance of methylated PE derivatives in the membrane.

Abstract
Intracellular organelles exchange their luminal contents with each other via both vesicular and non-vesicular mechanisms. By forming membrane contact sites (MCSs) with ER and mitochondria, lysosomes mediate bidirectional transport of metabolites and ions between lysosomes and organelles that regulate lysosomal physiology, movement, membrane remodeling, and membrane repair. In this chapter, we will first summarize the current knowledge of lysosomal ion channels and then discuss the molecular and physiological mechanisms that regulate lysosome-organelle MCS formation and dynamics. We will also discuss the roles of lysosome-ER and lysosome-mitochondria MCSs in signal transduction, lipid transport, Ca 2+ transfer, membrane trafficking, and membrane repair, as well as their roles in lysosome-related pathologies.

Abstract
Cellular lipid synthesis and transport are governed by intricate protein networks. Although genetic screening should contribute to deciphering the regulatory networks of lipid metabolism, technical challenges remain-especially for high-throughput readouts of lipid phenotypes. Here, we coupled organelle-selective click labeling of phosphatidylcholine (PC) with flow cytometry-based CRISPR screening technologies to convert organellar PC phenotypes into a simple fluorescence readout for genome-wide screening. This technique, named O-ClickFC, was successfully applied in genome-scale CRISPR-knockout screens to identify previously reported genes associated with PC synthesis (PCYT1A, ACACA), vesicular membrane trafficking (SEC23B, RAB5C), and non-vesicular transport (PITPNB, STARD7). Moreover, we revealed previously uncharacterized roles of FLVCR1 as a choline uptake facilitator, CHEK1 as a post-translational regulator of the PC-synthetic pathway, and CDC50A as responsible for the translocation of PC to the outside of the plasma membrane bilayer. These findings demonstrate the versatility of O-ClickFC as an unprecedented platform for genetic dissection of cellular lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and its related proteins (ORPs) are a family of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) that mediate non-vesicular lipid transport. ORP9 and ORP10, members of the OSBP/ORPs family, are located at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-trans-Golgi network (TGN) membrane contact sites (MCSs). It remained unclear how they mediate lipid transport. In this work, we discovered that ORP9 and ORP10 form a binary complex through intermolecular coiled-coil (CC) domain-CC domain interaction. The PH domains of ORP9 and ORP10 specially interact with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), mediating the TGN targeting. The ORP9-ORP10 complex plays a critical role in regulating PI4P levels at the TGN. Using in vitro reconstitution assays, we observed that while full-length ORP9 efficiently transferred PI4P between two apposed membranes, the lipid transfer kinetics was further accelerated by ORP10. Interestingly, our data showed that the PH domains of ORP9 and ORP10 participate in membrane tethering simultaneously, whereas ORDs of both ORP9 and ORP10 are required for lipid transport. Furthermore, our data showed that the depletion of ORP9 and ORP10 led to increased vesicle transport to the plasma membrane (PM). These findings demonstrate that ORP9 and ORP10 form a binary complex through the CC domains, maintaining PI4P homeostasis at ER-TGN MCSs and regulating vesicle trafficking.

Abstract
The flavor of chicken meat is influenced by muscle metabolites and regulatory genes and varies with age. In this study, the metabolomic and transcriptomic data of breast muscle at four developmental stages (days 1, 56, 98, and 120) of Beijing-You chickens (BJYs) were integrated and 310 significantly changed metabolites (SCMs) and 7,225 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that SCMs and DEGs were enriched in amino acid, lipid, and inosine monophosphate (IMP) metabolism pathways. Furthermore, genes highly associated with flavor amino acids, lipids, and IMP were identified by a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), including cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), glycine amidinotransferase (GATM), glutamate decarboxylase 2 (GAD2), patatin-like phospholipasedomain containing 6 (PNPLA6), low-specificity L-threonine aldolase (ItaE), and adenylate monophosphate deaminase 1 (AMPD1) genes. A regulatory network related to the accumulation of key flavor components was constructed. In conclusion, this study provides new perspectives regarding the regulatory mechanisms of flavor metabolites in chicken meat during development.

Abstract
Background: SAAP-148 is an antimicrobial peptide derived from LL-37. It exhibits excellent activity against drug-resistant bacteria and biofilms while resisting degradation in physiological conditions. Despite its optimal pharmacological properties, its mechanism of action at the molecular level has not been explored. Methods: The structural properties of SAAP-148 and its interaction with phospholipid membranes mimicking mammalian and bacterial cells were studied using liquid and solid-state NMR spectroscopy as well as molecular dynamics simulations. Results: SAAP-148 is partially structured in solution and stabilizes its helical conformation when interacting with DPC micelles. The orientation of the helix within the micelles was defined by paramagnetic relaxation enhancements and found similar to that obtained using solid-state NMR, where the tilt and pitch angles were determined based on 15N chemical shift in oriented models of bacterial membranes (POPE/POPG). Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that SAAP-148 approaches the bacterial membrane by forming salt bridges between lysine and arginine residues and lipid phosphate groups while interacting minimally with mammalian models containing POPC and cholesterol. Conclusions: SAAP-148 stabilizes its helical fold onto bacterial-like membranes, placing its helix axis almost perpendicular to the surface normal, thus probably acting by a carpet-like mechanism on the bacterial membrane rather than forming well-defined pores.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a key lipid that plays important roles in disease-related biological processes, and therefore, the means to track PS in live cells are invaluable. Herein, we describe the metabolic labeling of PS in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells using analogues of serine, a PS precursor, derivatized with azide moieties at either the amino (N-l-SerN3) or carbonyl (C-l-SerN3) groups. The conservative click tag modification enabled these compounds to infiltrate normal lipid biosynthetic pathways, thereby producing tagged PS molecules as supported by mass spectrometry studies, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis, and further derivatization with fluorescent reporters via click chemistry to enable imaging in yeast cells. This approach shows strong prospects for elucidating the complex biosynthetic and trafficking pathways involving PS.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) are dynamic suborganelle membranes that physically couple endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria to provide a platform for exchange of intracellular molecules and crosstalk between the two organelles. Dysfunctions of mitochondria and ER and imbalance of intracellular homeostasis have been discovered in the research of toxics. Cellular activities such as oxidative stress, ER stress, Ca2+ transport, autophagy, mitochondrial fusion and fission, and apoptosis mediated by MAMs are closely related to the toxicological effects of various toxicants. These cellular activities mediated by MAMs crosstalk with each other. Regulating the structure and function of MAMs can alleviate the damage caused by toxicants to some extent. In this review, we discuss the relationships between MAMs and the mechanisms of toxicological effects, and highlight MAMs as a potential target for protection against toxicants.

Abstract
Lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) are reactive intermediates that arise during peroxidation of unsaturated phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol in biological membranes and lipoproteins. Non-physiological lipid peroxidation (LPO) typically occurs under oxidative stress conditions associated with pathologies such as atherogenesis, neurodegeneration, and carcinogenesis. As key intermediates in the LPO process, LOOHs are susceptible to one-electron versus two-electron reductive turnover, the former exacerbating membrane or lipoprotein damage/dysfunction and the latter diminishing it. A third possible LOOH fate is translocation to an acceptor membrane/lipoprotein, where one- or two-electron reduction may then ensue. In the case of cholesterol (Ch)-derived hydroperoxides (ChOOHs), translocation can be specifically stimulated by StAR family trafficking proteins, which are normally involved in Ch homeostasis and Ch-mediated steroidogenesis. In this review, we discuss how these processes can be impaired by StAR-mediated ChOOH and Ch co-trafficking to mitochondria of vascular macrophages and steroidogenic cells, respectively. The protective effects of endogenous selenoperoxidase, GPx4, are also discussed. This is the first known example of detrimental ChOOH transfer via a natural Ch trafficking pathway and inhibition thereof by GPx4.

Comparison between Sickle Cell Disease Patients and Healthy Donors: Untargeted Lipidomic Study of Erythrocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032529. [PMID: 36768849 PMCID: PMC9917006 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common severe monogenic disorders in the world caused by a mutation on HBB gene and characterized by hemoglobin polymerization, erythrocyte rigidity, vaso-occlusion, chronic anemia, hemolysis, and vasculopathy. Recently, the scientific community has focused on the multiple genetic and clinical profiles of SCD. However, the lipid composition of sickle cells has received little attention in the literature. According to recent studies, changes in the lipid profile are strongly linked to several disorders. Therefore, the aim of this study is to dig deeper into lipidomic analysis of erythrocytes in order to highlight any variations between healthy and patient subjects. 241 lipid molecular species divided into 17 classes have been annotated and quantified. Lipidomic profiling of SCD patients showed that over 24% of total lipids were altered most of which are phospholipids. In-depth study of significant changes in lipid metabolism can give an indication of the enzymes and genes involved. In a systems biology scenario, these variations can be useful to improve the understanding of the biochemical basis of SCD and to try to make a score system that could be predictive for the severity of clinical manifestations.

The Effect of Dietary Phospholipids on the Ultrastructure and Function of Intestinal Epithelial Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021788. [PMID: 36675301 PMCID: PMC9866517 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Dietary composition substantially determines human health and affects complex diseases, including obesity, inflammation and cancer. Thus, food supplements have been widely used to accommodate dietary composition to the needs of individuals. Among the promising supplements are dietary phospholipids (PLs) that are commonly found as natural food ingredients and as emulsifier additives. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of major PLs found as food supplements on the morphology of intestinal epithelial cells upon short-term and long-term high-dose feeding in mice. In the present report, the effect of short-term and long-term high dietary PL content was studied in terms of intestinal health and leaky gut syndrome in male mice. We used transmission electron microscopy to evaluate endothelial morphology at the ultrastructural level. We found mitochondrial damage and lipid droplet accumulation in the intracristal space, which rendered mitochondria more sensitive to respiratory uncoupling as shown by a mitochondrial respiration assessment in the intestinal crypts. However, this mitochondrial damage was insufficient to induce intestinal permeability. We propose that high-dose PL treatment impairs mitochondrial morphology and acts through extensive membrane utilization via the mitochondria. The data suggest that PL supplementation should be used with precaution in individuals with mitochondrial disorders.

Abstract
Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are removed through a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). ERAD occurs through an integral membrane protein quality control system that recognizes substrates, retrotranslocates the substrates across the membrane, and ubiquitinates and extracts the substrates from the membrane for degradation at the cytosolic proteasome. While ERAD systems are known to regulate lipid biosynthetic enzymes, the regulation of ERAD systems by the lipid composition of cellular membranes remains unexplored. Here, we report that the ER membrane composition influences ERAD function by incapacitating substrate extraction. Unbiased lipidomic profiling revealed that elevation of specific very-long-chain ceramides leads to a marked increase in the level of ubiquitinated substrates in the ER membrane and concomitantly reduces extracted substrates in the cytoplasm. This work reveals a previously unrecognized mechanism in which ER membrane lipid remodeling changes the activity of ERAD.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) express anti-tumoral activity mainly by blocking cyclooxygenase-2 involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Therefore, in the last few decades, many have attempted to explore the possibilities of applying this group of drugs as effective agents for the inhibition of neoplastic processes. This review summarizes the evidence presented in the literature regarding the anti-tumoral actions of NSAIDs used as monotherapies as well as in combination with conventional chemotherapeutics and natural products. In several clinical trials, it was proven that combinations of NSAIDs and chemotherapeutic drugs (CTDs) were able to obtain suitable results. The combination with phospholipids may resolve the adverse effects of NSAIDs and deliver derivatives with increased antitumor activity, whereas hybrids with terpenoids exhibit superior activity against their parent drugs or physical mixtures. Therefore, the application of NSAIDs in cancer therapy seems to be still an open chapter and requires deep and careful evaluation. The literature's data indicate the possibilities of re-purposing anti-inflammatory drugs currently approved for cancer treatments.

Structure of the Sec14 domain of Kalirin reveals a distinct class of lipid-binding module in RhoGEFs. Nat Commun 2023; 14:96.

Abstract
Gated entry of lipophilic ligands into the enclosed hydrophobic pocket in stand-alone Sec14 domain proteins often links lipid metabolism to membrane trafficking. Similar domains occur in multidomain mammalian proteins that activate small GTPases and regulate actin dynamics. The neuronal RhoGEF Kalirin, a central regulator of cytoskeletal dynamics, contains a Sec14 domain (KalbSec14) followed by multiple spectrin-like repeats and catalytic domains. Previous studies demonstrated that Kalirin lacking its Sec14 domain fails to maintain cell morphology or dendritic spine length, yet whether and how KalbSec14 interacts with lipids remain unknown. Here, we report the structural and biochemical characterization of KalbSec14. KalbSec14 adopts a closed conformation, sealing off the canonical ligand entry site, and instead employs a surface groove to bind a limited set of lysophospholipids. The low-affinity interactions of KalbSec14 with lysolipids are expected to serve as a general model for the regulation of Rho signaling by other Sec14-containing Rho activators.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanolamine is the major inner-membrane lipid in the plasma and mitochondrial membranes. It is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum from ethanolamine and diacylglycerol (DAG) by the CDP-ethanolamine pathway and from phosphatidylserine by decarboxylation in the mitochondria. Recently, multiple genetic disorders that impact these pathways have been identified, including hereditary spastic paraplegia 81 and 82, Liberfarb syndrome, and a new type of childhood-onset neurodegeneration-CONATOC. Individuals with these diseases suffer from multisystem disorders mainly affecting neuronal function. This indicates the importance of maintaining proper phospholipid homeostasis when major biosynthetic pathways are impaired. This study summarizes the current knowledge of phosphatidylethanolamine metabolism in order to identify areas of future research that might lead to the development of treatment options.

Abstract
Phospholipids are lipids that constitute the basic structure of cell membranes. In-depth research has shown that in addition to supporting cell structures, phospholipids participate in multiple cellular processes, including promoting cell signal transduction, guiding protein translocation, activating enzymatic activity, and eliminating dysfunctional/redundant organelles/cells. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with a complicated etiology and pathology. Studies have shown that the level of certain phospholipids, for example, the ratio of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in liver tissue, is negatively associated with insulin sensitivity. In addition, PS is a phospholipid exhibiting extensive cellular functions in diabetes. For this review, we analyzed many PS studies focusing on diabetes and insulin sensitivity in recent years and found that PS participates in controlling insulin secretion, regulating insulin signaling transduction, and participating in the progression of diabetic complications by mediating coagulation disorders in the microvasculature or targeting mitochondria. Moreover, PS supplements in food and PS-containing liposomes have been shown to protect against type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D, respectively) in animal studies. Therefore, by summarizing the regulatory roles played by PS in diabetes and the potential of successfully using PS or PS-containing liposomes for diabetic therapy, we hope to provide new ideas for further research into the mechanisms of diabetes and for drug development for treating diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
The intersection of protein and lipid biology is of growing importance for understanding how cells address structural challenges during adhesion and migration. While protein complexes engaged with the cytoskeleton play a vital role, support from the phospholipid membrane is crucial for directing localization and assembly of key protein complexes. During angiogenesis, dramatic cellular remodeling is necessary for endothelial cells to shift from a stable monolayer to invasive structures. However, the molecular dynamics between lipids and proteins during endothelial invasion are not defined. Here, we utilized cell culture, immunofluorescence, and lipidomic analyses to identify a novel role for the membrane binding protein Annexin A2 (ANXA2) in modulating the composition of specific membrane lipids necessary for cortical F-actin organization and adherens junction stabilization. In the absence of ANXA2, there is disorganized cortical F-actin, reduced junctional Arp2, excess sprout initiation, and ultimately failed sprout maturation. Furthermore, we observed reduced filipin III labeling of membrane cholesterol in cells with reduced ANXA2, suggesting there is an alteration in phospholipid membrane dynamics. Lipidomic analyses revealed that 42 lipid species were altered with loss of ANXA2, including an accumulation of phosphatidylcholine (16:0_16:0). We found that supplementation of phosphatidylcholine (16:0_16:0) in wild-type endothelial cells mimicked the ANXA2 knock-down phenotype, indicating that ANXA2 regulated the phospholipid membrane upstream of Arp2 recruitment and organization of cortical F-actin. Altogether, these data indicate a novel role for ANXA2 in coordinating events at endothelial junctions needed to initiate sprouting and show that proper lipid modulation is a critical component of these events.

Abstract
The specialized functions of eukaryotic organelles have motivated chemical approaches for their selective tagging and visualization. Here, we develop chemoenzymatic tools using metabolic labeling of abundant membrane lipids for selective visualization of organelle compartments. Synthetic choline analogues with three N-methyl substituents replaced with 2-azidoethyl and additional alkyl groups enabled the generation of corresponding derivatives of phosphatidylcholine (PC), a ubiquitous and abundant membrane phospholipid. Subsequent bioorthogonal tagging via the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) with a single cyclooctyne-fluorophore reagent enabled differential labeling of the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi complex, mitochondria, and lysosomes depending upon the substitution pattern at the choline ammonium center. Key to the success of this strategy was the harnessing of both the organic cation transporter OCT1 to enable cytosolic delivery of these cationic metabolic probes and endogenous phospholipase D enzymes for rapid, one-step metabolic conversion of the choline analogues to the desired lipid products. Detailed analysis of the trafficking kinetics of both the SPAAC-tagged fluorescent PC analogues and their non-fluorescent, azide-containing precursors revealed that the latter exhibit time-dependent differences in organelle selectivity, suggesting their use as probes for visualizing intracellular lipid transport pathways. By contrast, the stable localizations of the fluorescent PC analogues will allow applications not only for organelle-selective imaging but also for local modulation of physiological events with organelle-level precision by tethering of bioactive small molecules, via click chemistry, within defined subcellular membrane environments.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, phospholipids are asymmetrically distributed between the outer and inner leaflets of the plasma membrane. The maintenance of asymmetric phospholipid distribution has been demonstrated to be required for a wide range of cellular functions including cell division, cell migration, and signal transduction. However, we recently reported that asymmetric phospholipid distribution is disrupted in Drosophila cell membranes, and this unique phospholipid distribution leads to the formation of highly deformable cell membranes. In addition, it has become clear that asymmetry in the trans-bilayer distribution of phospholipids is disturbed even in living mammalian cells under certain circumstances. In this article, we introduce our recent studies while focusing on the trans-bilayer distribution of phospholipids, and discuss the cellular functions of (a)symmetric biological membranes.

Abstract
Cells take in, consume, and synthesize nutrients for numerous physiological functions. This includes not only energy production but also macromolecule biosynthesis, which will further influence cellular signaling, redox homeostasis, and cell fate commitment. Therefore, alteration in cellular nutrient metabolism is associated with pathological conditions. Intervertebral discs, particularly the nucleus pulposus (NP), are avascular and exhibit unique metabolic preferences. Clinical and preclinical studies have indicated a correlation between intervertebral degeneration (IDD) and systemic metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. However, a lack of understanding of the nutrient metabolism of NP cells is masking the underlying mechanism. Indeed, although previous studies indicated that glucose metabolism is essential for NP cells, the downstream metabolic pathways remain unknown, and the potential role of other nutrients, like amino acids and lipids, is understudied. In this literature review, we summarize the current understanding of nutrient metabolism in NP cells and discuss other potential metabolic pathways by referring to a human NP transcriptomic dataset deposited to the Gene Expression Omnibus, which can provide us hints for future studies of nutrient metabolism in NP cells and novel therapies for IDD.

Abstract
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) have gained attention as promising antimicrobial therapeutics causing lower or no bacterial resistance. Considerable achievements have been made in designing new CAMPs that are highly active as antimicrobials. However, there is a lack of research on their interaction with biologically important proteins. This study focused on CAMPs' effects on myeloperoxidase (MPO), an enzyme which is microbicidal and concomitantly damaging to host biomolecules and cells due to its ability to produce reactive oxygen and halogen species (ROS/RHS). Four CAMPs designed by us were employed. MPO catalytic activity was assessed by an absorbance spectra analysis and by measuring enzymatic activity using Amplex Red- and Celestine Blue B-based assays. The peptide Hm-AMP2 accelerated MPO turnover. Pept_1545 and Hm-AMP8 inhibited both the MPO chlorinating and peroxidase activities, with components of different inhibition types. Hm-AMP8 was a stronger inhibitor. Its Ki towards H2O2 and Cl- was 0.3-0.4 μM vs. 11-20 μM for pept_1545. Peptide tyrosine and cysteine residues were involved in the mechanisms of the observed effects. The results propose a possible dual role of CAMPs as both antimicrobial agents and agents that downregulate MPO activation, and suggest CAMPs as prototypes for the development of antioxidant compounds to prevent MPO-mediated ROS/RHS overproduction.

Abstract
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) before an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) could induce ischemic tolerance (IT) phenomena. with an endogenous neuroprotective role (Ischemic preconditioning. IPC). A consecutive prospective cohort of patients with AIS were recruited from 8 different hospitals. Participants were classified by those with non-previous recent TIA vs. previous TIA (within seven days. TIA ≤7d). A total of 541 AIS patients were recruited. 40 (7.4%). of them had previous TIA ≤7d. In line with IPC. patients with TIA ≤7d showed: 1) a significantly less severe stroke at admission by NIHSS score. 2) a better outcome at 7-90 days follow-up and reduced infarct volumes. 3) a specific upregulated metabolomics/lipidomic profile composed of diverse lipid categories. Effectively. IPC activates an additional adaptive response on increasing circulation levels of structural and bioactive lipids to facilitate functional recovery after AIS which may support biochemical machinery for neuronal survival. Furthermore. previous TIA before AIS seems to facilitate the production of anti-inflammatory mediators that contribute to a better immune response. Thus. the IT phenomena contributes to a better adaptation of further ischemia. Our study provides first-time evidence of a metabolomics/lipidomic signature related to the development of stroke tolerance in AIS patients induced by recent TIA.

Abstract
Background Light-driven consortia, which consist of sucrose-secreting cyanobacteria and heterotrophic species, have attracted considerable attention due to their capability for the sustainable production of valuable chemicals directly from CO2. In a previous study, we achieved a one-step conversion of sucrose secreted from cyanobacteria to fine chemicals by constructing an artificial coculture system consisting of sucrose-secreting Synechococcus elongateus cscB+ and 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) producing Escherichia coli ABKm. Analyses of the coculture system showed that the cyanobacterial cells grew better than their corresponding axenic cultures. To explore the underlying mechanism and to identify the metabolic nodes with the potential to further improve the coculture system, we conducted integrated transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses. Results We first explored how the relieved oxidative stress affected cyanobacterial cell growth in a coculture system by supplementing additional ascorbic acid to CoBG-11 medium. We found that the cell growth of cyanobacteria was clearly improved with an additional 1 mM ascorbic acid under axenic culture; however, its growth was still slower than that in the coculture system, suggesting that the improved growth of Synechococcus cscB+ may be caused by multiple factors, including reduced oxidative stress. To further explore the cellular responses of cyanobacteria in the system, quantitative transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics were applied to Synechococcus cscB+. Analyses of differentially regulated genes/proteins and the abundance change of metabolites in the photosystems revealed that the photosynthesis of the cocultured Synechococcus cscB+ was enhanced. The decreased expression of the CO2 transporter suggested that the heterotrophic partner in the system might supplement additional CO2 to support the cell growth of Synechococcus cscB+. In addition, the differentially regulated genes and proteins involved in the nitrogen and phosphate assimilation pathways suggested that the supply of phosphate and nitrogen in the Co-BG11 medium might be insufficient. Conclusion An artificial coculture system capable of converting CO2 to fine chemicals was established and then analysed by integrated omics analysis, which demonstrated that in the coculture system, the relieved oxidative stress and increased CO2 availability improved the cell growth of cyanobacteria. In addition, the results also showed that the supply of phosphate and nitrogen in the Co-BG11 medium might be insufficient, which paves a new path towards the optimization of the coculture system in the future. Taken together, these results from the multiple omics analyses provide strong evidence that beneficial interactions can be achieved from cross-feeding and competition between phototrophs and prokaryotic heterotrophs and new guidelines for engineering more intelligent artificial consortia in the future.

Abstract
The nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR, NR1H4) is a bile acid (BA) sensor that links the enterohepatic circuit that regulates BA metabolism and elimination to systemic lipid homeostasis. Furthermore, FXR represents a real guardian of the hepatic function, preserving, in a multifactorial fashion, the integrity and function of hepatocytes from chronic and acute insults. This review summarizes how FXR modulates the expression of pathway-specific as well as polyspecific transporters and enzymes, thereby acting at the interface of BA, lipid and drug metabolism, and influencing the onset and progression of hepatotoxicity of varying etiopathogeneses. Furthermore, this review article provides an overview of the advances and the clinical development of FXR agonists in the treatment of liver diseases.

Abstract
In the almost 70 years since the first hints of its existence, the phosphoinositide, phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate has been found to be central in the biological regulation of plasma membrane (PM) function. Here, we provide an overview of the signaling, transport and structural roles the lipid plays at the cell surface in animal cells. These include being substrate for second messenger generation, direct modulation of receptors, control of membrane traffic, regulation of ion channels and transporters, and modulation of the cytoskeleton and cell polarity. We conclude by re-evaluating PI(4,5)P2's designation as a signaling molecule, instead proposing a cofactor role, enabling PM-selective function for many proteins.

Abstract
A fluid membrane containing a mix of unsaturated and saturated lipids is essential for life. However, it is unclear how lipid saturation might affect lipid homeostasis, membrane-associated proteins, and membrane organelles. Here, we generate temperature-sensitive mutants of the sole fatty acid desaturase gene OLE1 in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Using these mutants, we show that lipid saturation triggers the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of squalene epoxidase Erg1, a rate-limiting enzyme in sterol biosynthesis, via the E3 ligase Doa10-Ubc7 complex. We identify the P469L mutation that abolishes the lipid saturation-induced ERAD of Erg1. Overexpressed WT or stable Erg1 mutants all mislocalize into foci in the ole1 mutant, whereas the stable Erg1 causes aberrant ER and severely compromises the growth of ole1, which are recapitulated by doa10 deletion. The toxicity of the stable Erg1 and doa10 deletion is due to the accumulation of lanosterol and misfolded proteins in ole1 Our study identifies Erg1 as a novel lipid saturation-regulated ERAD target, manifesting a close link between lipid homeostasis and proteostasis that maintains sterol homeostasis under the lipid saturation condition for cell survival.

Abstract
Cells adapt to cold by increasing levels of unsaturated phospholipids and membrane fluidity through conserved homeostatic mechanisms. Here we report an exceptionally large and evolutionarily conserved protein LPD-3 in C. elegans that mediates lipid trafficking to confer cold resilience. We identify lpd-3 mutants in a mutagenesis screen for genetic suppressors of the lipid desaturase FAT-7. LPD-3 bridges the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membranes (PM), forming a structurally predicted hydrophobic tunnel for lipid trafficking. lpd-3 mutants exhibit abnormal phospholipid distribution, diminished FAT-7 abundance, organismic vulnerability to cold, and are rescued by Lecithin comprising unsaturated phospholipids. Deficient lpd-3 homologues in Zebrafish and mammalian cells cause defects similar to those observed in C. elegans. As mutations in BLTP1, the human orthologue of lpd-3, cause Alkuraya-Kucinskas syndrome, LPD-3 family proteins may serve as evolutionarily conserved highway bridges critical for ER-associated non-vesicular lipid trafficking and resilience to cold stress in eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia associates with and usually precedes the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but a comprehensive assessment of molecular lipid species associated with risk of CKD is lacking. Here, we sought to identify fasting plasma lipids associated with risk of CKD among American Indians in the Strong Heart Family Study, a large-scale community-dwelling of individuals, followed by replication in Mexican Americans from the San Antonio Family Heart Study and Caucasians from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study. We also performed repeated measurement analysis to examine the temporal relationship between the change in the lipidome and change in kidney function between baseline and follow-up of about five years apart. Network analysis was conducted to identify differential lipid classes associated with risk of CKD. In the discovery cohort, we found that higher baseline level of multiple lipid species, including glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids and sphingolipids, was significantly associated with increased risk of CKD, independent of age, sex, body mass index, diabetes and hypertension. Many lipid species were replicated in at least one external cohort at the individual lipid species and/or the class level. Longitudinal change in the plasma lipidome was significantly associated with change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate after adjusting for covariates, baseline lipids and the baseline rate. Network analysis identified distinct lipidomic signatures differentiating high from low-risk groups. Thus, our results demonstrated that disturbed lipid metabolism precedes the onset of CKD. These findings shed light on the mechanisms linking dyslipidemia to CKD and provide potential novel biomarkers for identifying individuals with early impaired kidney function at preclinical stages.

Abstract
Membranes are multifunctional supramolecular assemblies that encapsulate our cells and the organelles within them. Glycerophospholipids are the most abundant component of membranes. They make up the majority of the lipid bilayer and play both structural and functional roles. Each organelle has a different phospholipid composition critical for its function that results from dynamic interplay and regulation of numerous lipid-metabolizing enzymes and lipid transporters. Because lipid structures and localizations are not directly genetically encoded, chemistry has much to offer to the world of lipid biology in the form of precision tools for visualizing lipid localization and abundance, manipulating lipid composition, and in general decoding the functions of lipids in cells.In this Account, we provide an overview of our recent efforts in this space focused on two overarching and complementary goals: imaging and editing the phospholipidome. On the imaging front, we have harnessed the power of bioorthogonal chemistry to develop fluorescent reporters of specific lipid pathways. Substantial efforts have centered on phospholipase D (PLD) signaling, which generates the humble lipid phosphatidic acid (PA) that acts variably as a biosynthetic intermediate and signaling agent. Though PLD is a hydrolase that generates PA from abundant phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids, we have exploited its transphosphatidylation activity with exogenous clickable alcohols followed by bioorthogonal tagging to generate fluorescent lipid reporters of PLD signaling in a set of methods termed IMPACT.IMPACT and its variants have facilitated many biological discoveries. Using the rapid and fluorogenic tetrazine ligation, it has revealed the spatiotemporal dynamics of disease-relevant G protein-coupled receptor signaling and interorganelle lipid transport. IMPACT using diazirine photo-cross-linkers has enabled identification of lipid-protein interactions relevant to alcohol-related diseases. Varying the alcohol reporter can allow for organelle-selective labeling, and varying the bioorthogonal detection reagent can afford super-resolution lipid imaging via expansion microscopy. Combination of IMPACT with genome-wide CRISPR screening has revealed genes that regulate physiological PLD signaling.PLD enzymes themselves can also act as tools for precision editing of the phospholipid content of membranes. An optogenetic PLD for conditional blue-light-stimulated synthesis of PA on defined organelle compartments led to the discovery of the role of organelle-specific pools of PA in regulating oncogenic Hippo signaling. Directed enzyme evolution of PLD, enabled by IMPACT, has yielded highly active superPLDs with broad substrate tolerance and an ability to edit membrane phospholipid content and synthesize designer phospholipids in vitro. Finally, azobenzene-containing PA analogues represent an alternative, all-chemical strategy for light-mediated control of PA signaling.Collectively, the strategies described here summarize our progress to date in tackling the challenge of assigning precise functions to defined pools of phospholipids in cells. They also point to new challenges and directions for future study, including extension of imaging and membrane editing tools to other classes of lipids. We envision that continued application of bioorthogonal chemistry, optogenetics, and directed evolution will yield new tools and discoveries to interrogate the phospholipidome and reveal new mechanisms regulating phospholipid homeostasis and roles for phospholipids in cell signaling.

Abstract
Advances in public health have nearly doubled life expectancy over the last century, but this demographic shift has also changed the landscape of human illness. Today, chronic and age-dependent diseases dominate the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Targeting the underlying molecular, genetic and cell biological drivers of the aging process itself appears to be an increasingly viable strategy for developing therapeutics against these diseases of aging. Towards this end, one of the most exciting developments in cell biology over the last decade is the explosion of research into organelle contact sites and related mechanisms of inter-organelle communication. Identification of the molecular mediators of inter-organelle tethering and signaling is now allowing the field to investigate the consequences of aberrant organelle interactions, which frequently seem to correlate with age-onset pathophysiology. This review introduces the major cellular roles for inter-organelle interactions, including the regulation of organelle morphology, the transfer of ions, lipids and other metabolites, and the formation of hubs for nutrient and stress signaling. We explore how these interactions are disrupted in aging and present findings that modulation of inter-organelle communication is a promising avenue for promoting longevity. Through this review, we propose that the maintenance of inter-organelle interactions is a pillar of healthy aging. Learning how to target the cellular mechanisms for sensing and controlling inter-organelle communication is a key next hurdle for geroscience.

Abstract
Invasive fungal infections are difficult to treat with limited drug options, mainly because fungi are eukaryotes and share many cellular mechanisms with the human host. Most current antifungal drugs are either fungistatic or highly toxic. Therefore, there is a critical need to identify important fungal specific drug targets for novel antifungal development. Numerous studies have shown the fungal phosphatidylserine (PS) biosynthetic pathway to be a potential target. It is synthesized from CDP-diacylglycerol and serine, and the fungal PS synthesis route is different from that in mammalian cells, in which preexisting phospholipids are utilized to produce PS in a base-exchange reaction. In this study, we utilized a Saccharomyces cerevisiae heterologous expression system to screen for inhibitors of Cryptococcus PS synthase Cho1, a fungi-specific enzyme essential for cell viability. We identified an anticancer compound, bleomycin, as a positive candidate that showed a phospholipid-dependent antifungal effect. Its inhibition on fungal growth can be restored by ethanolamine supplementation. Further exploration of the mechanism of action showed that bleomycin treatment damaged the mitochondrial membrane in yeast cells, leading to increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), whereas supplementation with ethanolamine helped to rescue bleomycin-induced damage. Our results indicate that bleomycin does not specifically inhibit the PS synthase enzyme; however, it may affect phospholipid biosynthesis through disruption of mitochondrial function, namely, the synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), which helps cells maintain membrane composition and functionality. IMPORTANCE Invasive fungal pathogens cause significant morbidity and mortality, with over 1.5 million deaths annually. Because fungi are eukaryotes that share much of their cellular machinery with the host, our armamentarium of antifungal drugs is highly limited, with only three classes of antifungal drugs available. Drug toxicity and emerging resistance have limited their use. Hence, targeting fungi-specific enzymes that are important for fungal survival, growth, or virulence poses a strategy for novel antifungal development. In this study, we developed a heterologous expression system to screen for chemical compounds with activity against Cryptococcus phosphatidylserine synthase, Cho1, a fungi-specific enzyme that is essential for viability in C. neoformans. We confirmed the feasibility of this screen method and identified a previously unexplored role of the anticancer compound bleomycin in disrupting mitochondrial function and inhibiting phospholipid synthesis.

Abstract
Strategies to visualize cellular membranes with light microscopy are restricted by the diffraction limit of light, which far exceeds the dimensions of lipid bilayers. Here, we describe a method for super-resolution imaging of metabolically labeled phospholipids within cellular membranes. Guided by the principles of expansion microscopy, we develop an all-small molecule approach that enables direct chemical anchoring of bioorthogonally labeled phospholipids into a hydrogel network and is capable of super-resolution imaging of cellular membranes. We apply this method, termed lipid expansion microscopy (LExM), to visualize organelle membranes with precision, including a unique class of membrane-bound structures known as nuclear invaginations. Compatible with standard confocal microscopes, LExM will be widely applicable for super-resolution imaging of phospholipids and cellular membranes in numerous physiological contexts.

Regulation of membrane fluidity by RNF145-triggered degradation of the lipid hydrolase ADIPOR2. EMBO J 2022; 41:e110777.

Abstract
The regulation of membrane lipid composition is critical for cellular homeostasis. Cells are particularly sensitive to phospholipid saturation, with increased saturation causing membrane rigidification and lipotoxicity. How mammalian cells sense membrane lipid composition and reverse fatty acid (FA)-induced membrane rigidification is poorly understood. Here we systematically identify proteins that differ between mammalian cells fed saturated versus unsaturated FAs. The most differentially expressed proteins were two ER-resident polytopic membrane proteins: the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF145 and the lipid hydrolase ADIPOR2. In unsaturated lipid membranes, RNF145 is stable, promoting its lipid-sensitive interaction, ubiquitination and degradation of ADIPOR2. When membranes become enriched in saturated FAs, RNF145 is rapidly auto-ubiquitinated and degraded, stabilising ADIPOR2, whose hydrolase activity restores lipid homeostasis and prevents lipotoxicity. We therefore identify RNF145 as a FA-responsive ubiquitin ligase which, together with ADIPOR2, defines an autoregulatory pathway that controls cellular membrane lipid homeostasis and prevents acute lipotoxic stress.

Abstract
Cecropin D is an antimicrobial peptide from Bombyx mori displaying anticancer and pro-apoptotic activities and, together with Cecropin XJ and Cecropin A, one of the very few peptides targeting esophageal cancer. Cecropin D displays poor similarity to other cecropins but a remarkable similarity in the structure and activity spectrum with Cecropin A and Cecropin XJ, offering the possibility to highlight key motifs at the base of the biological activity. In this work we show by NMR and MD simulations that Cecropin D is partially structured in solution and stabilizes its two-helix folding upon interaction with biomimetic membranes. Simulations show that Cecropin D strongly interacts with the surface of cancer cell biomimetic bilayers where it recognises the phosphatidylserine headgroup often exposed in the outer leaflet of cancerous cells by means of specific salt bridges. Cecropin D is also able to penetrate deeply in bilayers containing cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in mitochondria, causing significant destabilization in the lipid packing which might account for its pro-apoptotic activity. In bacterial membranes, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine act synergically by electrostatically attracting cecropin D and providing access to the membrane core, respectively.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the potential of 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromides as fungicides and evaluate their impact on the human respiratory system when spread in the atmosphere. We investigated the behavior of membrane lipids and model membranes in the presence of a series of amphiphilic 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromides ([MePipCn][Br]), differing in the alkyl chain length (n = 4 - 18). The experiments were performed with the Langmuir monolayer technique using 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and ergosterol (ERG)-the main components of lung surfactant and fungal plasma membrane, respectively and their mixtures with phospholipids and sterols. The mixtures were chosen as the representatives of target and non-target organisms. The surface pressure-area isotherms were obtained by compressing monolayers in the presence of [MePipCn][Br] in the subphase. The results were analyzed in terms of area expansion/contraction and compressibility. The surface activity of the studied organic salts was also studied. In addition, the monolayers were deposited on a solid surface and their topography was investigated using atomic force microscopy. This research implies that the studied compounds may destabilize efficiently the fungal plasma membrane. At the same time we demonstrated the significant impact of 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromides on the lung surfactant layer. The interaction between [MePipCn][Br] and model membranes depends on the concentration and alkyl chain length of organic salt. The key role of contact time has been also revealed. The results may be helpful in the reasonable development of new agrochemical products aiming at the treatment of fungal infections in plants. In addition, our study indicates the significance of proper safety management while spreading the fungicides in the environment.

Abstract
Membrane fusion is a ubiquitous phenomenon linked to many biological processes, and represents a crucial step in liposome-based drug delivery strategies. The ability to control, ever more precisely, membrane fusion pathways would thus be highly valuable for next generation nano-medical solutions and, more generally, the design of advanced biomimetic systems such as synthetic cells. In this article, we present fusogenic nanostructures constructed from synthetic DNA which, different from previous solutions, unlock routes for modulating the rate of fusion and making it conditional to the presence of soluble DNA molecules, thus demonstrating how membrane fusion can be controlled through simple DNA-based molecular circuits. We then systematically explore the relationship between lipid-membrane composition, its biophysical properties, and measured fusion efficiency, linking our observations to the stability of transition states in the fusion pathway. Finally, we observe that specific lipid compositions lead to the emergence of complex bilayer architectures in the fusion products, such as nested morphologies, which are accompanied by alterations in biophysical behaviour. Our findings provide multiple, orthogonal strategies to program lipid-membrane fusion, which leverage the design of either the fusogenic DNA constructs or the physico/chemical properties of the membranes, and could thus be valuable in applications where some design parameters are constrained by other factors such as material cost and biocompatibility, as it is often the case in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Drug resistance is known to depend on the interactions with cell membranes and other molecules such as human cytochromes P450 (CYPs) which are anchored on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and involved in the metabolism of anticancer drugs. In this study, we determined the influence from cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) on the interaction between the drug doxorubicin (DOX) and Langmuir monolayers mimicking cell membranes. The lipid composition was varied by changing the relative concentrations of cholesterol (Chol), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE), and L-α-phosphatidylinositol (PI). Three compositions were studied in detail which represented a healthy cell membrane and cancerous cell membranes. DOX induced an expansion in the surface pressure isotherms for all monolayers, with stronger effect for the composition of cancerous cell with a high Chol content, thus confirming the relevance of lipid composition. This effect decreased considerably when CYP3A4 was incorporated with the formation of CYP3A4-DOX complexes, according to results from polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) measurements. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis of CYP3A4 being involved in drug resistance, which may be exploited to design strategies to enhance chemotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
Lipids affect cartilage growth, injury, and regeneration in diverse ways. Diet and metabolism have become increasingly important as the prevalence of obesity has risen. Proper lipid supplementation in the diet contributes to the preservation of cartilage function, whereas excessive lipid buildup is detrimental to cartilage. Lipid metabolic pathways can generate proinflammatory substances that are crucial to the development and management of osteoarthritis (OA). Lipid metabolism is a complicated metabolic process involving several regulatory systems, and lipid metabolites influence different features of cartilage. In this review, we examine the current knowledge about cartilage growth, degeneration, and regeneration processes, as well as the most recent research on the significance of lipids and their metabolism in cartilage, including the extracellular matrix and chondrocytes. An in-depth examination of the involvement of lipid metabolism in cartilage metabolism will provide insight into cartilage metabolism and lead to the development of new treatment techniques for metabolic cartilage damage.

Abstract
Phospholipids are asymmetrically distributed between the lipid bilayer of plasma membranes in which phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is confined to the inner leaflet. ATP11A and ATP11C, type IV P-Type ATPases in plasma membranes, flip PtdSer from the outer to the inner leaflet, but involvement of other P4-ATPases is unclear. We herein demonstrated that once PtdSer was exposed on the cell surface of ATP11A−/−ATP11C−/− mouse T cell line (W3), its internalization to the inner leaflet of plasma membranes was negligible at 15 °C. However, ATP11A−/−ATP11C−/− cells internalized the exposed PtdSer at 37 °C, a temperature at which trafficking of intracellular membranes was active. In addition to ATP11A and 11C, W3 cells expressed ATP8A1, 8B2, 8B4, 9A, 9B, and 11B, with ATP8A1 and ATP11B being present at recycling endosomes. Cells deficient in four P4-ATPases (ATP8A1, 11A, 11B, and 11C) (QKO) did not constitutively expose PtdSer on the cell surface but lost the ability to re-establish PtdSer asymmetry within 1 hour, even at 37 °C. The expression of ATP11A or ATP11C conferred QKO cells with the ability to rapidly re-establish PtdSer asymmetry at 15 °C and 37 °C, while cells expressing ATP8A1 or ATP11B required a temperature of 37 °C to achieve this function, and a dynamin inhibitor blocked this process. These results revealed that mammalian cells are equipped with two independent mechanisms to re-establish its asymmetry: the first is a rapid process involving plasma membrane flippases, ATP11A and ATP11C, while the other is mediated by ATP8A1 and ATP11B, which require an endocytosis process.

Abstract
We used vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy to elucidate the possible effect of various levels of isotopic substitution (H/D) on the properties of the DPPC monolayer by probing DPPC/D2O interface. We found that deuteration of the choline group has a great impact on monolayer properties, while monolayers with deuterated alkyl chains do not exhibit any differences under our experimental conditions. In addition, deuteration of the choline group strongly affected the hydration of the phosphate group. We showed by probing symmetric stretching vibration of phosphate group that denser packing only slightly reduced the hydration of DPPC-d13 and DPPC-d75 monolayers. Moreover, addition of calcium ions, which generally cause a marked dehydration of the lipid monolayer, had no effect on lipid monolayers with deuterated choline group. We proposed that one way to explain this experimental finding could be deuteration induced changes in the structure of lipid's choline group, resulting in a well-hydrated but Ca2+ ion blocking structure. These results have important implications for various spectroscopic techniques, which commonly use deuteration of phospholipids to circumvent overlapping between vibrational bands.

Abstract
Phospholipid metabolism, including phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis, is crucial for various biological functions and is associated with longevity. Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) is a protein that catalyzes the biosynthesis of PC, the levels of which change in various organs such as the brain and kidneys during aging. However, the role of PEMT for systemic PC supply is not fully understood. To address how PEMT affects aging-associated energy metabolism in tissues responsible for nutrient absorption, lipid storage, and energy consumption, we employed NMR-based metabolomics to study the liver, plasma, intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), brown/white adipose tissues (BAT and WAT), and skeletal muscle of young (9-10 weeks) and old (91-132 weeks) wild-type (WT) and PEMT knockout (KO) mice. We found that the effect of PEMT-knockout was tissue-specific and age-dependent. A deficiency of PEMT affected the metabolome of all tissues examined, among which the metabolome of BAT from both young and aged KO mice was dramatically changed in comparison to the WT mice, whereas the metabolome of the jejunum was only slightly affected. As for aging, the absence of PEMT increased the divergence of the metabolome during the aging of the liver, WAT, duodenum, and ileum and decreased the impact on skeletal muscle. Overall, our results suggest that PEMT plays a previously underexplored, critical role in both aging and energy metabolism.

Abstract
Once administrated, intercellular adhesion to recognize and/or arrest target cells is essential for specific treatments, especially for cancer or tumor. However, immune cells administrated into the tumor-microenvironment could lose their intrinsic functionalities such as target recognition ability, resulting in an ineffective cancer immunotherapy. Various manipulation techniques for decorating functional moieties onto cell surface and enhancing target recognition have been developed. A hydrophobic interaction-mediated ex-vivo cell surface engineering using lipid-based biomaterials could be a state-of-the-art engineering technique that could achieve high-efficiency cell surface modification by a single method without disturbance of intrinsic characteristics of cells. In this regard, this review provides design principles for the development of lipid-based biomaterials with a linear structure of lipid, polyethylene glycol, and functional group, strategies for the synthesis process, and their practical applications in biomedical engineering. Especially, we provide new insights into the development of a novel surface coating techniques for natural killer (NK) cells with engineering decoration of cancer targeting moieties on their cell surfaces. Among immune cells, NK cells are interesting cell population for substituting T cells because of their excellent safety and independent anticancer efficacy. Thus, optimal strategies to select cancer-type-specific targeting moieties and present them onto the surface of immune cells (especially, NK cells) using lipid-based biomaterials could provide additional tools to capture cancer cells for developing novel immune cell therapy products. Enhanced anticancer efficacies by surface-engineered NK cells have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, it could be speculated that recent progresses in cell surface modification technology via lipid-based biomaterials could strengthen immune surveillance and immune synapses for utilization in a next-generation cancer immunotherapy, beyond currently available genetic engineering tool such as chimeric antigen receptor-mediated immune cell modulation.

Early Life to Adult Brain Lipidome Dynamic: A Temporospatial Study Investigating Dietary Polar Lipid Supplementation Efficacy. Front Nutr 2022; 9:898655. [PMID: 35967787 PMCID: PMC9364220 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.898655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The lipid composition of the brain is well regulated during development, and the specific temporospatial distribution of various lipid species is essential for the development of optimal neural functions. Dietary lipids are the main source of brain lipids and thus contribute to the brain lipidome. Human milk is the only source of a dietary lipids for exclusively breastfed infant. Notably, it contains milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) enriched in polar lipids (PL). While early life is a key for early brain development, the interplay between dietary intake of polar lipids and spatial dynamics of lipid distribution during brain development is poorly understood. Here, we carried out an exploratory study to assess the early postnatal temporal profiling of brain lipidome between postnatal day (PND) 7 and PND 50 using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization as a mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) in an in vivo preclinical model. We also assessed the effect of chronic supplementation with PL extracted from alpha-lactalbumin-enriched whey protein concentrate (WPC) containing 10% lipids, including major lipid classes found in the brain (37% phospholipids and 15% sphingomyelin). MALDI-MSI of the spatial and temporal accretion of lipid species during brain development showed that the brain lipidome is changing heterogeneously along time during brain development. In addition, increases in 400+ PL supplement-dependent lipids were observed. PL supplementation had significant spatial and temporal effect on specific fatty esters, glycerophosphocholines, glycerophosphoethanolamines, and phosphosphingolipids. Interestingly, the average levels of these lipids per brain area tended to be constant in various brain structures across the age groups, paralleling the general brain growth. In contrast, other lipids, such as cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol, diacylglycerophosphates, phosphocholines, specific ether-phosphoethanolamines, phosphosphingolipids, glycerophosphoinositols, and glycerophosphoserines showed clear age-dependent changes uncoupled from the general brain growth. These results suggest that the dietary PL supplementation may preferentially provide the building blocks for the general brain growth during development. Our findings add to the understanding of brain-nutrient relations, their temporospatial dynamics, and potential impact on neurodevelopment.

Nontargeted Metabolomic Profiling of Huo-Tan-Chu-Shi Decoction in the Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease with Phlegm-damp Syndrome. Cardiol Res Pract 2022; 2022:6532003. [PMID: 35991771 PMCID: PMC9391147 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6532003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Considered an effective supplementary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely applied in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). In this study, we aim to investigate the effects and mechanisms of Huo-Tan-Chu-Shi decoction (HTCSD, an in-hospital TCM prescription) in the treatment of CHD with the phlegm-damp syndrome in mice by non-targeted metabolomics with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS. Methods A CHD with phlegm-damp syndrome model was established with ApoE−/− mice by subcutaneous injection with isoproterenol combined with high temperature, high humidity, and a high-fat diet, and divided into the HTCSD and Tanshi groups. C57BL/6 mice were set as the control group with an ordinary environment and diet. After administration, electrocardiogram (ECG), interventricular septum thickness (IVS) and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW), serum levels of creatine phosphokinase-Mb (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), and myocardial histopathological changes were recorded to assess myocardial damage. LC-MS/MS was applied to demonstrate the serum metabolic profile and explore potential mechanisms. Results The obvious depressions of the ST segment and T wave presented in the ECG of Tanshi mice, while the depressions in ECG of HTCSD mice were significantly reduced. Compared with the control group, IVS, LVPW, and serum levels of CK-MB, cTnT, LDH, and oxLDL increased greatly in the Tanshi group, while these indicators decreased remarkably in the HTCSD group compared with those of the Tanshi group. Histopathology showed severe structural disorder, necrosis, and fibrosis of myocardial cells in Tanshi mice, which were alleviated in HTCSD mice. Metabonomics analysis showed obvious metabolic alterations among the experimental mice and revealed that the relevant metabolic pathways mainly included phospholipid metabolism, necroptosis, and autophagy. Conclusions HTCSD has a certain therapeutic effect in mice with CHD with phlegm-damp syndrome via reducing myocardial ischemia, hypertrophy, and fibrosis. The underlying mechanisms involve the regulation of phospholipid metabolism, necroptosis, and autophagy.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an anionic phospholipid in the eukaryotic membrane and is abundant in the brain. Accumulated studies have revealed that PS is involved in the multiple functions of the brain, such as activation of membrane signaling pathways, neuroinflammation, neurotransmission, and synaptic refinement. Those functions of PS are related to central nervous system (CNS) diseases. In this review, we discuss the metabolism of PS, the anti-inflammation function of PS in the brain; the alterations of PS in different CNS diseases, and the possibility of PS to serve as a therapeutic agent for diseases. Clinical studies have showed that PS has no side effects and is well tolerated. Therefore, PS and PS liposome could be a promising supplementation for these neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases.
