Patterns of Variation in the Usage of Fatty Acid Chains among Classes of Ester and Ether Neutral Lipids and Phospholipids in the Queensland Fruit Fly. INSECTS 2023; 14:873. [PMID: 37999072 PMCID: PMC10672513 DOI: 10.3390/insects14110873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
Modern lipidomics has the power and sensitivity to elucidate the role of insects' lipidomes in their adaptations to the environment at a mechanistic molecular level. However, few lipidomic studies have yet been conducted on insects beyond model species such as Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we present the lipidome of adult males of another higher dipteran frugivore, Bactrocera tryoni. We describe 421 lipids across 15 classes of ester neutral lipids and phospholipids and ether neutral lipids and phospholipids. Most of the lipids are specified in terms of the carbon and double bond contents of each constituent hydrocarbon chain, and more ether lipids are specified to this degree than in any previous insect lipidomic analyses. Class-specific profiles of chain length and (un)saturation are broadly similar to those reported in D. melanogaster, although we found fewer medium-length chains in ether lipids. The high level of chain specification in our dataset also revealed widespread non-random combinations of different chain types in several ester lipid classes, including deficits of combinations involving chains of the same carbon and double bond contents among four phospholipid classes and excesses of combinations of dissimilar chains in several classes. Large differences were also found in the length and double bond profiles of the acyl vs. alkyl or alkenyl chains of the ether lipids. Work on other organisms suggests some of the differences observed will be functionally consequential and mediated, at least in part, by differences in substrate specificity among enzymes in lipid synthesis and remodelling pathways. Interrogation of the B. tryoni genome showed it has comparable levels of diversity overall in these enzymes but with some gene gain/loss differences and considerable sequence divergence from D. melanogaster.

Differences in lipid composition of Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) during storage at 0 °C and 4 °C. Food Res Int 2021; 143:110233. [PMID: 33992346 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 02/13/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the lipid oxidation and distribution in Bigeye tuna stored at 0 °C and 4 °C for 6 days. Tuna were evaluated by determining the peroxide value (POV), acid value (AV), anisidine value (AnV), polyene index, fluorescence ratio (FR), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI) content, and major glycerophospholipid molecular species. The value of lipid oxidation indexes (POV, AV, AnV, FR, PC, PE and PI) increased as the storage time increased. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) results indicated that the major types of lipids included diacylglycerol (DAG), monoacylglycerol (MAG), phospholipid (PL), and triacylglycerol (TAG). At least 136 PC and 64 PE molecular species were identified in Bigeye tuna. The results of the confocal laser scanning microscope analysis indicated the distribution of TAG and PL particles. In addition, principal component analysis showed that the contents of PI and TAG were positively correlated with PC, polyene index and lipid content but negatively correlated with PI, POV, FR, AOV, AnV, MAG, and DAG, which might be explained by distinguishing the lipid parameters affecting lipid oxidation. Therefore, this study may provide a novel method to evaluate lipid changes and contribute to the balanced nutritional value of aquatic foods during cold storage.

Abstract
The teleost fish, medaka (Oryzias latipes), employs the XX/XY genetic sex determination system. We show here that the phenotypic sex of medaka is affected by changes in lipid metabolism. Medaka larvae subjected to 5 days of starvation underwent female-to-male sex reversal. Metabolomic and RT-qPCR analyses indicated that pantothenate metabolism was suppressed by starvation. Consistently, inhibiting the pantothenate metabolic pathway caused sex reversal. The final metabolite in this pathway is coenzyme A, an essential factor for lipogenesis. Inhibiting fatty acid synthesis, the first step of lipogenesis, also caused sex reversal. The expression of dmrt1, a critical gene for male development, was suppressed by starvation, and a dmrt1 (Δ13) mutant did not show sex reversal under starvation. Collectively, these results indicate that fatty acid synthesis is involved in female-to-male sex reversal through ectopic expression of male gene dmrt1 under starvation. Summary: We investigated the effects of starvation on sex differentiation in medaka. Starvation caused female-to-male sex reversal through pantothenate metabolism, fatty acid synthesis and dmrt1 expression.

Abstract
In this article, the formation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cardiolipin is reviewed in light of its biological function. I begin with a detailed account of the structure of cardiolipin, its stereochemistry, and the resulting physical properties, and I present structural analogs of cardiolipin that occur in some organisms. Then I continue to discuss i) the de novo formation of cardiolipin, ii) its acyl remodeling, iii) the assembly of cardiolipin into biological membranes, and iv) the degradation of cardiolipin, which may be involved in apoptosis and mitochondrial fusion. Thus, this article covers the entire metabolic cycle of this unique phospholipid. It is shown that mitochondria produce cardiolipin species with a high degree of structural uniformity and molecular symmetry, among which there is often a dominant form with four identical acyl chains. The subsequent assembly of cardiolipin into functional membranes is largely unknown, but the analysis of crystal structures of membrane proteins has revealed a first glimpse into the underlying principles of cardiolipin-protein interactions. Disturbances of cardiolipin metabolism are crucial in the pathophysiology of human Barth syndrome and perhaps also play a role in diabetes and ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Membrane dynamics is an essential part of many cellular mechanisms such as intracellular trafficking, membrane fusion/fission and mitotic organelle reconstitution. The dynamics of membranes is dependent primarily on their phospholipid and cholesterol composition and how these molecules are ordered in relation to one another. To determine the physical status of membranes in whole cells or purified membranes of subcellular compartments we have developed a novel application exploiting solid-state (2)H-NMR spectroscopy. We utilise this method to probe the dynamics of intact sperm and nuclear envelope precursor membranes. We show, using mass spectrometry, that either multilamellar or small unilamellar vesicles of deuterium-labelled palmitoyl-oleoylphosphatidylcholine can be used to probe the dynamics of sperm cells or nuclear envelope precursor membrane vesicles, respectively. Using (2)H-NMR we determine the order parameters of sperm cells and nuclear envelope precursor membrane vesicles. We demonstrate that whole sperm membranes are more dynamic than nuclear envelope precursor membranes due to the higher cholesterol levels of the latter. Our new application can be exploited as a generic method for monitoring membrane dynamics in whole cells, various subcellular membrane compartments and membrane domains in subcellular compartments.

Abstract
Separation of phospholipid classes in lipid extracts from the scallop Pecten maximus, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, and the blue mussel Mytilus edulis was conducted using HPLC. An isolated polar lipid fraction was found to contain a very high level of DHA, up to 80 mol% of the total FA. MS with electrospray ionization in the positive-ion mode, tandem MS (MS-MS) and multidimensional NMR spectroscopy were used to analyze the detailed chemical structure of this polar lipid fraction. The isolated fraction contained exclusively cardiolipin (CL) molecules, predominantly in a form with four docosahexaenoyl chains (Do4CL). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that such a CL form has been analytically characterized and described in these three bivalve species. This tetradocosahexaenoic CL is presumed to reflect a specific adaptation in bivalves that enhances the structural and functional mechanisms of biomembranes in response to variations in environmental conditions (temperature, salinity, emersion).

Abstract
The dietary effects of two high protein diets from two species of sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus and Echinus esculentus) as compared to a reference protein such as casein on serum lipid levels and on intestinal disaccharidases and alkaline phosphatase were studied. After 23 days, the containing the two sea urchins as diets compared to casein decreased the cholesterol level and significantly increased the HDL-cholesterol in serum. The consumption of Echinus esculentus meal produced a significant decrease in lactase activity. The intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity increased not significantly in animals fed on the sea urchin meal.
