Abstract
The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) is pivotal within the endocannabinoid system regulating various signaling cascades with effects in appetite regulation, pain perception, memory formation, and thermoregulation. Still, understanding of CB1R's cellular signaling, distribution, and expression dynamics is very fragmentary. Real-time visualization of CB1R is crucial for addressing these questions. Selective drug-like CB1R ligands with a defined pharmacological profile were investigated for the construction of CB1R fluorescent probes using a reverse design-approach. A modular design concept with a diethyl glycine-based building block as the centerpiece allowed for the straightforward synthesis of novel probe candidates. Validated by computational docking studies, radioligand binding, and cAMP assay, this systematic approach allowed for the identification of novel pyrrole-based CB1R fluorescent probes. Application in fluorescence-based target-engagement studies and live cell imaging exemplify the great versatility of the tailored CB1R probes for investigating CB1R localization, trafficking, pharmacology, and its pathological implications.

Abstract
In this study, we present the probe SATE-G3P-N3 as a novel tool for metabolic labeling of glycerolipids (GLs) to investigate lipid metabolism in yeast cells. By introducing a clickable azide handle onto the glycerol backbone, this probe enables general labeling of glycerolipids. Additionally, this probe contains a caged phosphate moiety at the glycerol sn-3 position to not only facilitate probe uptake by masking negative charge but also to bypass the phosphorylation step crucial for initiating phospholipid synthesis, thereby enhancing phospholipid labeling. The metabolic labeling activity of the probe was thoroughly assessed through cellular fluorescence microscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) experiments. Fluorescence microscopy analysis demonstrated successful incorporation of the probe into yeast cells, with labeling predominantly localized at the plasma membrane. LCMS analysis confirmed metabolic labeling of various phospholipid species (PC, PS, PA, PI, and PG) and neutral lipids (MAG, DAG, and TAG), and GL labeling was corroborated by TLC. These results showcased the potential of the SATE-G3P-N3 probe in studying GL metabolism, offering a versatile and valuable approach to explore the intricate dynamics of lipids in yeast cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metabolic diseases, including dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammation are risk factors for clinically significant thrombotic events. Thrombosis in these settings is multifaceted with coordinated mechanisms between platelet activation and the hemostatic pathways. This review focuses on recent advances in platelet procoagulant and apoptotic signaling with emphasis on the pathophysiologic mechanisms induced by platelet CD36 in dyslipidemia, and the key unaddressed questions relating to the field. RECENT FINDINGS CD36 promotes platelet activation and increases the risk for thrombosis through signaling events. These include generation of reactive oxygen species, activation of redox-sensitive MAP kinase ERK5, and promotion of a pro-thrombotic phenotype. CD36 promotes phosphatidylserine externalization leading to a procoagulant function downstream from MAP kinase ERK5 that is separate from a pro-aggregatory function. Phosphatidylserine externalization requires maladaptive caspase activation, promotes assembly of the factor tenase and prothrombinase complex, and promotes fibrin formation. It is distinct from the canonical pathways mediating platelet procoagulant function by strong physiologic stimuli or by the platelet apoptotic-like Bak/Bax-mediated pathway for cellular clearance. SUMMARY Understanding CD36 signaling in the context of dyslipidemia, or other metabolic diseases will identify important and novel signaling hubs that could be potential therapeutic targets for intervention without impacting hemostasis.

Abstract
Lipid flippases are integral membrane proteins that play a central role in moving lipids across cellular membranes. Some of these transporters are ATPases that couple lipid translocation to ATP hydrolysis, whereas others function without any discernible metabolic energy input. A growing number of lipid flippases has been identified but key features of their activity remain to be elucidated. A well-established method to characterize ATP-driven flippases is based on their heterologous expression in yeast, followed by incubation of the cells with fluorescent lipids. Internalization of these probes is typically monitored by flow cytometry, a costly and maintenance-intensive method. Here, we have optimized a protocol to use an automated image-based cell counter to accurately measure lipid uptake by heterologous lipid flippases expressed in yeast. The method was validated by comparison with the classical flow cytometric evaluation of lipid-labeled cells. In addition, we demonstrated that expression of fluorescently tagged flippase complexes can be directly co-related with fluorescent lipid uptake using the image-based cell counter system. The method extends the number of techniques available for characterization of lipid flippase activity, and should be readily adaptable to analyze a variety of other transport systems in yeast, parasites, and mammalian cells. © 2016 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.
