Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 757:110044. [PMID: 38797227 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.110044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of Leucidal® Liquid (abbr. Leucidal), which is recommended as a natural cosmetic ingredient of antimicrobial properties, on model membranes of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The toxicity tests on cell lines were also performed to allow for a more detailed discussion of the results. As model membrane systems the lipid Langmuir monolayers were applied. During the investigations, the surface pressure/area measurements, penetration studies and Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM) visualization were performed for one component and mixed lipid monolayers. It was evidenced that at the membrane - corresponding conditions, the components of Leucidal do not penetrate either model keratinocyte and fibroblast membranes or one component films composed of the major lipids of skin cell membranes. Leucidal makes these systems slightly more expanded and less stable, however this is not reflected in the changes in the film morphology. Only the ceramide systems were sensitive to the presence of Leucidal, i.e. the incorporation of Leucidal components manifested well in the decrease of the films' condensation and alterations in their morphology. The tests on cells demonstrated that Leucidal is non toxic for these types of cells at the concentrations suggested by the producer. A thorough comparison of these results with those published for bacteria model membranes enabled us to discuss them in the context of the mechanism of action of Leucidal components. It was concluded that Leucidal components are of low affinity to the skin cellular model membranes of low content of Leucidal-sensitive ceramides and are not toxic for fibroblast and keratinocyte cell lines. Moreover, the lipid composition of the membrane and its molecular organization can be important targets for Leucidal components, decisive from the point of view of the activity and selectivity of the studied composition.

Abstract
Lipids represent a large group of biomolecules that are responsible for various functions in organisms. Diseases such as diabetes, chronic inflammation, neurological disorders, or neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases can be caused by lipid imbalance. Due to the different stereochemical properties and composition of fatty acyl groups of molecules in most lipid classes, quantification of lipids and development of lipidomic analytical techniques are problematic. Identification of different lipid species from complex matrices is difficult, and therefore individual analytical steps, which include extraction, separation, and detection of lipids, must be chosen properly. This review critically documents recent strategies for lipid analysis from sample pretreatment to instrumental analysis and data interpretation published in the last five years (2019 to 2023). The advantages and disadvantages of various extraction methods are covered. The instrumental analysis step comprises methods for lipid identification and quantification. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the most used technique in lipid analysis, which can be performed by direct infusion MS approach or in combination with suitable separation techniques such as liquid chromatography or gas chromatography. Special attention is also given to the correct evaluation and interpretation of the data obtained from the lipid analyses. Only accurate, precise, robust and reliable analytical strategies are able to bring complex and useful lipidomic information, which may contribute to clarification of some diseases at the molecular level, and may be used as putative biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Accurate lipid annotation is crucial for understanding the role of lipids in health and disease and identifying therapeutic targets. However, annotating the wide variety of lipid species in biological samples remains challenging in untargeted lipidomic studies. In this work, we present a lipid annotation workflow based on LC-MS and MS/MS strategies, the combination of four bioinformatic tools, and a decision tree to support the accurate annotation and semi-quantification of the lipid species present in lung tissue from control mice. The proposed workflow allowed us to generate a lipid lung-based ATLAS (LiLA), which was then employed to unveil the lipidomic signatures of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection at two different time points for a deeper understanding of the disease progression. This workflow, combined with manual inspection strategies of MS/MS data, can enhance the annotation process for lipidomic studies and guide the generation of sample-specific lipidome maps. LiLA serves as a freely available data resource that can be employed in future studies to address lipidomic alterations in mice lung tissue.

Platelet ACKR3/CXCR7 Favors Anti-Platelet Lipids over an Atherothrombotic Lipidome and Regulates Thrombo-inflammation. Blood 2021; 139:1722-1742. [PMID: 34905596 DOI: 10.1182/blood.2021013097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Platelet ACKR3/CXCR7 surface expression is enhanced and influences prognosis in coronary artery disease-(CAD) patients, who exhibit a distinct atherothrombotic platelet lipidome. Current investigation validates the potential of ACKR3/CXCR7 in regulating thrombo-inflammatory response, through its impact on the platelet lipidome. CAD patients-(n=230) with enhanced platelet-ACKR3/CXCR7 expression exhibited reduced aggregation. Pharmacological CXCR7-agonist-(VUF11207) significantly reduced pro-thrombotic platelet response in blood from ACS patients-(n=11) ex vivo. CXCR7-agonist administration reduced thrombotic functions and thrombo-inflammatory platelet-leukocyte interactions post myocardial infarction-(MI) and arterial injury in vivo. ACKR3/CXCR7-ligation did not affect surface availability of GPIbα, GPV, GPVI, GPIX, αv-integrin, β3-integrin, coagulation profile-(APTT, PT), bleeding time, plasma-dependent thrombin generation-(thrombinoscopy) or clot formation-(thromboelastography), but counteracted activation-induced phosphatidylserine exposure and procoagulant platelet-assisted thrombin generation. Targeted-(micro-UHPLC-ESI-QTrap-MS/MS) and untargeted-(UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS) lipidomics analysis revealed that ACKR3/CXCR7-ligation favored generation of anti-thrombotic lipids-(dihomo-γ-linolenic acid-DGLA, 12-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid-12-HETrE) over cyclooxygenase-COX-1-(thromboxane-TxA2), or 12-lipoxygenase-LOX-(12-HETE) metabolized pro-thrombotic, and phospholipase derived atherogenic-(lysophosphatidylcholine-LPC) lipids, in healthy subjects and CAD patients, contrary to anti-platelet therapy. Through 12-HETrE, ACKR3/CXCR7-ligation coordinated with Gαs-coupled prostacyclin receptor-(IP) to trigger cAMP-PKA mediated platelet inhibition. ACKR3/CXCR7-ligation reduced generation of lipid agonists-(arachidonic acid-AA,TxA2), lipid signaling intermediates-(lyophosphatidylinositol-LPI, diacylglycerol-DG), which affected calcium mobilization, intracellular signaling, consequently platelet interaction with physiological matrices and thrombo-inflammatory secretion-(IL1β,IFN-γ,TGF-β,IL-8), emphasizing its functional dichotomy from pro-thrombotic CXCR4. Moreover, CXCR7-agonist regulated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia-(HIT)-sera/IgG-induced platelet and neutrophil activation, heparin induced platelet aggregation-(HIPA), generation of COX-1-(TxA2), 12-LOX-(12-HETE) derived thrombo-inflammatory lipids, platelet-neutrophil aggregate formation, and thrombo-inflammatory secretion (sCD40L, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, sP-selectin, IL-8, tissue factor-TF) ex vivo. Therefore, ACKR3/CXCR7 may offer a novel therapeutic strategy in acute/chronic thrombo-inflammation exaggerated cardiovascular pathologies, and CAD.

Abstract
Continued adoption of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) in industrial laboratories will depend on the development of approaches to make method development for 2D-LC more systematic, less tedious, and less reliant on user expertise. In this paper, we build on previous efforts in these directions by describing the use of multifactorial modeling software that can help streamline and simplify the method development process for 2D-LC. Specifically, we have focused on building retention models for second dimension (2D) separations involving variables including gradient time, temperature, organic modifier blending, and buffer concentration using LC simulator (ACD/Labs) software. Multifactorial retention modeling outcomes are illustrated as resolution map planes or cubes that enable straightforward location of 2D conditions that maximize resolution while minimizing analysis time. We also illustrate the practicality of this approach by identifying conditions that yield baseline separation of all compounds co-eluting from a first dimension (1D) separation using a single combination of 2D stationary phase and elution conditions. The multifactorial retention models were found to be very accurate for both the 1D and 2D separations, with differences between experimental and simulated retention times of less than 0.5%. Pharmaceutical applications of this approach for multiple heartcutting 2D-LC were demonstrated using IEC-IEC or achiral RPLC-chiral RPLC for 2D separations of multicomponent mixtures. The framework outlined here should help make 2D-LC method development more systematic and streamline development and optimization for a variety of 2D-LC applications in both industry and academia.

Untargeted UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS analysis with targeted feature extraction at precursor and fragment level for profiling of the platelet lipidome with ex vivo thrombin-activation. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 205:114301.

Abstract
Lipids play a major role in platelet signaling and activation. In this study, we analyzed the platelet lipidome in an untargeted manner by reversed-phase UHPLC for lipid species separation coupled to high-resolution QTOF-MS/MS in data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode with sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion mass spectra (SWATH) for compound detection. Lipid identification and peak picking was supported by the characteristic regular elution pattern of lipids differing in carbon and double bond numbers. It was primarily based on post-acquisition targeted feature extraction from the SWATH data. Multiple extracted ion chromatograms (EICs) from SWATH data of diagnostic ions on MS1 and MS2 level from both positive and negative ion mode allowed to distinguish between poorly resolved isomeric lipids based on their distinct fragment ions, which were used for relative quantification at a molecular lipid species level. It supports assay specificity for relative lipid quantitation via multiple quantifiably ions unlike to data-dependent acquisition methods which rely on precursor ions only. This approach was used to analyze human platelet samples. 457 lipids were annotated. Concentrations of lipids were estimated by stable isotope-labelled lipid class-specific internal standards as surrogate calibrants. Heatmaps of lipid concentrations in dependence on carbon and double bond numbers for the distinct lipid classes revealed a snapshot of the platelet lipidome in the resting state with lipid species distributions within classes supporting some functional interpretations. As expected, activation of the platelets by thrombin has led to significant alterations in the platelet lipidome as proven by univariate (volcano plot) and multivariate (PLS-DA) statistics. Several lipids were significantly up-regulated (lysophosphatidylinositols, oxylipins such as thromboxane B2 (TXB2), hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE), sphingoid-bases, (very) long chain saturated fatty acids) or down-regulated (lysophosphatidylethanolamines, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phosphatidylinositols). Several of them are well known as biomarkers of platelet activation while others may provide some further insights into pathways of platelet activation and platelet metabolism.

Gentiana lutea Extract Modulates Ceramide Synthesis in Primary and Psoriasis-Like Keratinocytes. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25081832.

Abstract
Gentiana lutea is a bitter herb that is traditionally used to improve gastric disorders. Recently, we have shown that Gentiana lutea extract (GE) also modulates the lipid metabolism of human keratinocytes in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, we investigated the role of GE on ceramide synthesis in human primary keratinocytes (HPKs) and psoriasis-like keratinocytes. We could demonstrate that GE increased the concentrations of glucosylceramides and the ceramide AS/AdS subclass without affecting the overall ceramide content in HPKs. The expression of ceramide synthase 3 (CERS3) and elongases (ELOVL1 and 4) was reduced in psoriasis lesions compared to healthy skin. Psoriasis-like HPKs, generated by stimulating HPKs with cytokines that are involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis (IL-17, TNF-α, IL-22 and IFN-γ) showed increased levels of IL-6, IL-8 and increased expression of DEFB4A, as well as decreased expression of ELOVL4. The treatment with GE partly rescued the reduced expression of ELOVL4 in psoriasis-like HPKs and augmented CERS3 expression. This study has shown that GE modulates ceramide synthesis in keratinocytes. Therefore, GE might be a novel topical treatment for skin diseases with an altered lipid composition such as psoriasis.
