Abstract
Sphingolipids are unique among cellular lipids inasmuch as their biosynthesis is compartmentalized between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus. This compartmentalization was first recognized about thirty years ago, and the current review not only updates studies on the compartmentalization of sphingolipid biosynthesis, but also discusses the ramifications of this feature for our understanding of how the pathway could have evolved. Thus, we augment some of our recent studies by inclusion of two further molecular pathways that need to be considered when analyzing the evolutionary requirements for generation of sphingolipids, namely contact sites between the ER and the Golgi apparatus, and the mechanism(s) of vesicular transport between these two organelles. Along with evolution of the individual enzymes of the pathway, their subcellular localization, and the supply of essential metabolites via the anteome, it becomes apparent that current models to describe evolution of the sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway may need substantial refinement.

Abstract
Our body stores energy mostly in form of fatty acids (FAs) in lipid droplets (LDs). From there the FAs can be mobilized and transferred to peroxisomes and mitochondria. This transfer is dependent on close opposition of LDs and mitochondria and peroxisomes and happens at membrane contact sites. However, the composition and the dynamics of these contact sites is not well understood, which is in part due to the dependence on the metabolic state of the cell and on the cell- and tissue-type. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the contacts between lipid droplets and mitochondria both in mammals and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which various contact sites are well studied. We discuss possible functions of the contact site and their implication in disease.

Abstract
Membrane Contact Sites (MCS) are areas of close apposition of organelles that serve as hotspots for crosstalk and direct transport of lipids, proteins and metabolites. Contact sites play an important role in Ca2+ signalling, phospholipid synthesis, and micro autophagy. Initially, altered regulation of vesicular trafficking was regarded as the key mechanism for intracellular pathogen survival. However, emerging studies indicate that pathogens hijack MCS elements - a novel strategy for survival and replication in an intracellular environment. Several pathogens exploit MCS to establish direct contact between organelles and replication inclusion bodies, which are essential for their survival within the cell. By establishing this direct control, pathogens gain access to cytosolic compounds necessary for replication, maintenance, escaping endocytic maturation and circumventing lysosome fusion. MCS components such as VAP A/B, OSBP, and STIM1 are targeted by pathogens through their effectors and secretion systems. In this review, we delve into the mechanisms which operate in the evasion of the host immune system when intracellular pathogens hostage MCS. We explore targeting MCS components as a novel therapeutic approach, modifying molecular pathways and signalling to address the disease's mechanisms and offer more effective, tailored treatments for affected individuals.

Abstract
Chronological age causes structural and functional vascular deterioration and is a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, leading to more than 40% of all deaths in the elderly. The etiology of vascular aging is complex; a significant impact arises from impaired cholesterol homeostasis. Cholesterol level is balanced through synthesis, uptake, transport, and esterification, the processes executed by multiple organelles. Moreover, organelles responsible for cholesterol homeostasis are spatially and functionally coordinated instead of isolated by forming the membrane contact sites. Membrane contact, mediated by specific protein-protein interaction, pulls opposing organelles together and creates the hybrid place for cholesterol transfer and further signaling. The membrane contact-dependent cholesterol transfer, together with the vesicular transport, maintains cholesterol homeostasis and has intimate implications in a growing list of diseases, including vascular aging-related diseases. Here, we summarized the latest advances regarding cholesterol homeostasis by highlighting the membrane contact-based regulatory mechanism. We also describe the downstream signaling under cholesterol homeostasis perturbations, prominently in cholesterol-rich conditions, stimulating age-dependent organelle dysfunction and vascular aging. Finally, we discuss potential cholesterol-targeting strategies for therapists regarding vascular aging-related diseases. This article is categorized under: Cardiovascular Diseases > Molecular and Cellular Physiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world. This study proposes to reveal prognostic biomarkers for the prognosis and treatment of CRC patients. METHODS Differential analysis of OSBPL3 was performed in pan-cancer, and the correlation between clinical stage and OSBPL3 was analyzed. Multiple omics analysis was used to compare the relationship between survival of patients and copy number variation, single nucleotide variant, and methylation status. Survival differences between high and low OSBPL3 expression groups were analyzed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high and low OSBPL3 expression groups were obtained, and functional enrichment analysis was implemented. Correlations between immune cells and OSBPL3 was analyzed. Drug sensitivity between the two OSBPL3 expression groups was compared. Moreover, the expression of OSBPL3 was verified by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS OSBPL3 was differentially expressed in 13 tumors and had some correlations with T and N stages. OSBPL3 expression was regulated by methylation and higher OSBPL3 expression was associated with poorer prognosis in CRC. 128 DEGs were obtained and they were mainly involved in signaling receptor activator activity, aspartate and glutamate metabolism. T cell gamma delta and T cell follicular helper were significantly different in the high and low OSBPL3 expression groups. Moreover, OSBPL3 showed negative correlations with multiple drugs. OSBPL3 was significantly upregulated in CRC samples compared to normal samples. CONCLUSIONS A comprehensive analysis demonstrated that OSBPL3 had potential prognostic value, and guiding significance for CRC chemotherapeutic.

Abstract
ORPs are lipid-transport proteins belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein family. They facilitate the transfer of lipids between different intracellular membranes, such as the ER and plasma membrane. We have solved the crystal structure of the ORP8 lipid transport domain (ORD8). The ORD8 exhibited a β-barrel fold composed of anti-parallel β-strands, with three α-helices replacing β-strands on one side. This mixed alpha-beta structure was consistent with previously solved structures of ORP2 and ORP3. A large cavity (≈1860 Å3) within the barrel was identified as the lipid-binding site. Although we were not able to obtain a lipid-bound structure, we used computer simulations based on our crystal structure to dock PS and PI4P molecules into the putative lipid-binding site of the ORD8. Comparative experiments between the short ORD8ΔLid (used for crystallography) and the full-length ORD8 (lid containing) revealed the lid's importance for stable lipid binding. Fluorescence assays revealed different transport efficiencies for PS and PI4P, with the lid slowing down transport and stabilizing cargo. Coarse-grained simulations highlighted surface-exposed regions and hydrophobic interactions facilitating lipid bilayer insertion. These findings enhance our comprehension of ORD8, its structure, and lipid transport mechanisms, as well as provide a structural basis for the design of potential inhibitors.

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
Maintaining lipid composition diversity in membranes from different organelles is critical for numerous cellular processes. However, many lipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and require delivery to other organelles. In this scenario, formation of membrane contact sites (MCS) between neighbouring organelles has emerged as a novel non-vesicular lipid transport mechanism. Dissecting the molecular composition of MCS identified phosphoinositides (PIs), cholesterol, scaffolding/tethering proteins as well as Ca2+ and Ca2+-binding proteins contributing to MCS functioning. Compelling evidence now exists for the shuttling of PIs and cholesterol across MCS, affecting their concentrations in distinct membrane domains and diverse roles in membrane trafficking. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) at the plasma membrane (PM) not only controls endo-/exocytic membrane dynamics but is also critical in autophagy. Cholesterol is highly concentrated at the PM and enriched in recycling endosomes and Golgi membranes. MCS-mediated cholesterol transfer is intensely researched, identifying MCS dysfunction or altered MCS partnerships to correlate with de-regulated cellular cholesterol homeostasis and pathologies. Annexins, a conserved family of Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding proteins, contribute to tethering and untethering events at MCS. In this chapter, we will discuss how Ca2+ homeostasis and annexins in the endocytic compartment affect the sensing and transfer of cholesterol and PIs across MCS.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) - plasma membrane (PM) contact sites (EPCSs) are structurally conserved in eukaryotes. The Arabidopsis ER-anchored synaptotagmin 1 (SYT1), enriched in EPCSs, plays a critical role in plant abiotic stress tolerance. It has become clear that SYT1 interacts with PM to mediate ER-PM connectivity. However, whether SYT1 performs additional functions at EPCSs remains unknown. Here, we reported that SYT1 efficiently transfers phospholipids between membranes. The lipid transfer activity of SYT1 is highly dependent on PI(4,5)P2 , a signal lipid accumulated at the PM under abiotic stress. Mechanically, while SYT1 transfers lipids fundamentally through the synaptotagmin-like mitochondrial-lipid-binding protein (SMP) domain, the efficient lipid transport requires the C2A domain-mediated membrane tethering. Interestingly, we observed that Ca2+ could stimulate SYT1-mediated lipid transport. In addition to PI(4,5)P2 , the Ca2+ activation requires the phosphatidylserine, another negatively charged lipid on the opposed membrane. Together, our studies identified Arabidopsis SYT1 as a lipid transfer protein at EPCSs and demonstrated it takes conserved as well as divergent mechanisms with other extend-synaptotagmins. The critical role of lipid composition and Ca2+ reveals SYT1-mediated lipid transport is highly regulated by signals in response to abiotic stresses.

Abstract
In yeast, at least seven proteins (Ice2p, Ist2p, Scs2/22p, Tcb1-Tcb3p) affect cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) tethering and contact with the plasma membrane (PM). In Δ-super-tether (Δ-s-tether) cells that lack these tethers, cortical ER-PM association is all but gone. Yeast OSBP homologue (Osh) proteins are also implicated in membrane contact site (MCS) assembly, perhaps as subunits for multicomponent tethers, though their function at MCSs involves intermembrane lipid transfer. Paradoxically, when analyzed by fluorescence and electron microscopy, the elimination of the OSH gene family does not reduce cortical ER-PM association but dramatically increases it. In response to the inactivation of all Osh proteins, the yeast E-Syt (extended-synaptotagmin) homologue Tcb3p is post-transcriptionally upregulated thereby generating additional Tcb3p-dependent ER-PM MCSs for recruiting more cortical ER to the PM. Although the elimination of OSH genes and the deletion of ER-PM tether genes have divergent effects on cortical ER-PM association, both elicit the Environmental Stress Response (ESR). Through comparisons of transcriptomic profiles of cells lacking OSH genes or ER-PM tethers, changes in ESR expression are partially manifested through the induction of the HOG (high-osmolarity glycerol) PM stress pathway or the ER-specific UPR (unfolded protein response) pathway, respectively. Defects in either UPR or HOG pathways also increase ER-PM MCSs, and expression of extra “artificial ER-PM membrane staples” rescues growth of UPR mutants challenged with lethal ER stress. Transcriptome analysis of OSH and Δ-s-tether mutants also revealed dysregulation of inositol-dependent phospholipid gene expression, and the combined lethality of osh4Δ and Δ-s-tether mutations is suppressed by overexpression of the phosphatidic acid biosynthetic gene, DGK1. These findings establish that the Tcb3p tether is induced by ER and PM stresses and ER-PM MCSs augment responses to membrane stresses, which are integrated through the broader ESR pathway. Membrane contact sites (MCSs) between the two largest cellular membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM), are regulatory interfaces for lipid synthesis and bidirectional transport. The yeast Osh protein family, which represents the seven yeast oxysterol-binding protein related proteins (ORPs), is implicated in MCS regulation and lipid transfer between membranes. Ironically, we find that when all Osh proteins eliminated, ER-PM association is not reduced but significantly increases. We hypothesized this increase is due to compensatory increases in levels of tether proteins that physically link the ER and PM. In fact, in response to inactivating Osh protein expression, amounts of the tether protein Tcb3 increase and more ER-PM MCSs are produced. By testing the genomic transcriptional responses to the elimination of OSH and ER-PM tether genes, we find these mutants disrupt phospholipid regulation and they elicit the Environmental Stress Response (ESR) pathway, which integrates many different responses needed for recovery after cellular stress. OSH and ER-PM tether genes affect specific stress response pathways that impact the PM and ER, respectively. Combining OSH and tether mutations results in cell lethality, but these cells survive by increased expression of a key phospholipid biosynthetic gene. Based on these results, we propose that OSH and ER-PM tether genes affect phospholipid regulation and protect the PM and ER through membrane stress responses integrated through the ESR pathway.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) homologues, designated ORP or OSBPL proteins, constitute one of the largest families of intracellular lipid-binding/transfer proteins (LTP). This review summarizes the mounting evidence that several members of this family participate in the machinery facilitating cholesterol trafficking in the late endocytic pathway. There are indications that OSBP, besides acting as a cholesterol/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) exchanger at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-trans-Golgi network (TGN) membrane contact sites (MCS), also exchanges these lipids at ER-lysosome (Lys) contacts, increasing Lys cholesterol content. The long isoform of ORP1 (ORP1L), which also targets ER-late endosome (LE)/Lys MCS, has the capacity to mediate cholesterol transport either from ER to LE or in the opposite direction. Moreover, it regulates the motility, positioning and fusion of LE as well as autophagic flux. ORP2, the closest relative of ORP1, is mainly cytosolic, but also targets PI(4,5)P2-rich endosomal compartments. Our latest data suggest that ORP2 transfers cholesterol from LE to recycling endosomes (RE) in exchange for PI(4,5)P2, thus stimulating the recruitment of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) on the RE and cell adhesion. FAK activates phosphoinositide kinase on the RE to enhance PI(4,5)P2 synthesis. ORP2 in turn transfers PI(4,5)P2 from RE to LE, thus regulating LE tubule formation and transport activity.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCS) are specialized small areas of close apposition between two different organelles that have led researchers to reconsider the dogma of intercellular communication via vesicular trafficking. The latter is now being challenged by the discovery of lipid and ion transfer across MCS connecting adjacent organelles. These findings gave rise to a new concept that implicates cell compartments not to function as individual and isolated entities, but as a dynamic and regulated ensemble facilitating the trafficking of lipids, including cholesterol, and ions. Hence, MCS are now envisaged as metabolic platforms, crucial for cellular homeostasis. In this context, well-known as well as novel proteins were ascribed functions such as tethers, transporters, and scaffolds in MCS, or transient MCS companions with yet unknown functions. Intriguingly, we and others uncovered metabolic alterations in cell-based disease models that perturbed MCS size and numbers between coupled organelles such as endolysosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, or lipid droplets. On the other hand, overexpression or deficiency of certain proteins in this narrow 10-30 nm membrane contact zone can enable MCS formation to either rescue compromised MCS function, or in certain disease settings trigger undesired metabolite transport. In this "Mini Review" we summarize recent findings regarding a subset of annexins and discuss their multiple roles to regulate MCS dynamics and functioning. Their contribution to novel pathways related to MCS biology will provide new insights relevant for a number of human diseases and offer opportunities to design innovative treatments in the future.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein 2 (OSBP2) is crucial for promoting the growth and development of cancers; however, its effects on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are still unclear. Here, we report that OSBP2 is an efficient tumor-associated protein to lead to extremely malignant characteristics in PDAC. We discovered that increased OSBP2 expression in primary tumors was associated with shorter survival in PDAC patients. Therefore, we used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to analyze the levels of OSBP2 expression in PDAC tissues and adjacent paracancerous tissues. We used wound healing and Transwell assays to evaluate the effects of OSBP2 on PDAC cell (ASPC-1 and BXPC-3) migration and invasion, respectively, and CCK-8 and Annexin V/PI double staining to evaluate the effects of OSBP2 on PDAC cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Western blotting was used to analyze the effect of OSBP2 on the PDAC cell phenotype. We also explored the effect of OSBP2 on chemosensitivity to gemcitabine (GEM) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). We validated these findings in an in vivo mouse model. The data show that OSBP2 overexpression promoted PDAC cell migration, invasion, proliferation and chemotherapy resistance, and decreased apoptosis. OSBP2 overexpression downregulated E-cadherin expression and upregulated N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, Slug, ZEB1, and β-catenin expression. Taken together, our findings indicated that OSBP2 was overexpressed in PDAC and that upregulation of OSBP2 may promote PDAC progression. Therefore, OSBP2 may have potential diagnostic and therapeutic value in PDAC.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) constitute one of the largest families of lipid-binding/transfer proteins (LTPs) in eukaryotes. The current view is that many of them mediate inter-organelle lipid transfer over membrane contact sites (MCS). The transfer occurs in several cases in a 'counter-current' fashion: A lipid such as cholesterol or phosphatidylserine (PS) is transferred against its concentration gradient driven by transport of a phosphoinositide in the opposite direction. In this way ORPs are envisioned to maintain the distinct organelle lipid compositions, with impacts on multiple organelle functions. However, the functions of ORPs extend beyond lipid homeostasis to regulation of processes such as cell survival, proliferation and migration. Important expanding areas of mammalian ORP research include their roles in viral and bacterial infections, cancers, and neuronal function. The yeast OSBP homologue (Osh) proteins execute multifaceted functions in sterol and glycerophospholipid homeostasis, post-Golgi vesicle transport, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, sphingolipid and target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling, and cell cycle control. These observations identify ORPs as lipid transporters and coordinators of signals with an unforeseen variety of cellular processes. Understanding their activities not only enlightens the biology of the living cell but also allows their employment as targets of new therapeutic approaches for disease.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) serve as a zone for nonvesicular lipid transport by oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs). ORPs mediate lipid countertransport, in which two distinct lipids are transported counterdirectionally. How such lipid countertransport controls specific biological functions, however, remains elusive. We report that lipid countertransport by ORP10 at ER–endosome MCSs regulates retrograde membrane trafficking. ORP10, together with ORP9 and VAP, formed ER–endosome MCSs in a phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P)-dependent manner. ORP10 exhibited a lipid exchange activity toward its ligands, PI4P and phosphatidylserine (PS), between liposomes in vitro, and between the ER and endosomes in situ. Cell biological analysis demonstrated that ORP10 supplies a pool of PS from the ER, in exchange for PI4P, to endosomes where the PS-binding protein EHD1 is recruited to facilitate endosome fission. Our study highlights a novel lipid exchange at ER–endosome MCSs as a nonenzymatic PI4P-to-PS conversion mechanism that organizes membrane remodeling during retrograde membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells are characterized by their exquisite compartmentalization resulting from a cornucopia of membrane-bound organelles. Each of these compartments hosts a flurry of biochemical reactions and supports biological functions such as genome storage, membrane protein and lipid biosynthesis/degradation and ATP synthesis, all essential to cellular life. Acting as hubs for the transfer of matter and signals between organelles and throughout the cell, membrane contacts sites (MCSs), sites of close apposition between membranes from different organelles, are essential to cellular homeostasis. One of the now well-acknowledged function of MCSs involves the non-vesicular trafficking of lipids; its characterization answered one long-standing question of eukaryotic cell biology revealing how some organelles receive and distribute their membrane lipids in absence of vesicular trafficking. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in synergy with the mitochondria, stands as the nexus for the biosynthesis and distribution of phospholipids (PLs) throughout the cell by contacting nearly all other organelle types. MCSs create and maintain lipid fluxes and gradients essential to the functional asymmetry and polarity of biological membranes throughout the cell. Membrane apposition is mediated by proteinaceous tethers some of which function as lipid transfer proteins (LTPs). We summarize here the current state of mechanistic knowledge of some of the major classes of LTPs and tethers based on the available atomic to near-atomic resolution structures of several "model" MCSs from yeast but also in Metazoans; we describe different models of lipid transfer at MCSs and analyze the determinants of their specificity and directionality. Each of these systems illustrate fundamental principles and mechanisms for the non-vesicular exchange of lipids between eukaryotic membrane-bound organelles essential to a wide range of cellular processes such as at PL biosynthesis and distribution, lipid storage, autophagy and organelle biogenesis.

Abstract
Macroautophagy is a highly conserved eukaryotic cellular pathway involving the engulfment of macromolecules, organelles, and invading microbes by a double-membrane compartment and subsequent lysosomal degradation. The mechanisms that regulate macroautophagy, and the interaction of its components with other cellular pathways, have remained unclear. Here, we performed proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) on 39 core human macroautophagy proteins, identifying over 700 unique high confidence proximity interactors with new putative connections between macroautophagic and essential cellular processes. Of note, we identify members of the OSBPL (oxysterol binding protein like) family as Atg8-family protein interactors. We subsequently conducted comprehensive screens of the OSBPL family for LC3B-binding and roles in xenophagy and aggrephagy. OSBPL7 and OSBPL11 emerged as novel lipid transfer proteins required for macroautophagy of selective cargo. Altogether, our proximity interaction map provides a valuable resource for the study of autophagy and highlights the critical role of membrane contact site proteins in the pathway.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) formed between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM) provide a platform for nonvesicular lipid exchange. The ER-anchored tricalbins (Tcb1, Tcb2, and Tcb3) are critical tethering factors at ER–PM MCSs in yeast. Tricalbins possess a synaptotagmin-like mitochondrial-lipid-binding protein (SMP) domain and multiple Ca2+-binding C2 domains. Although tricalbins have been suggested to be involved in lipid exchange at the ER–PM MCSs, it remains unclear whether they directly mediate lipid transport. Here, using in vitro lipid transfer assays, we discovered that tricalbins are capable of transferring phospholipids between membranes. Unexpectedly, while its lipid transfer activity was markedly elevated by Ca2+, Tcb3 constitutively transferred lipids even in the absence of Ca2+. The stimulatory activity of Ca2+ on Tcb3 required intact Ca2+-binding sites on both the C2C and C2D domains of Tcb3, while Ca2+-independent lipid transport was mediated by the SMP domain that transferred lipids via direct interactions with phosphatidylserine and other negatively charged lipid molecules. These findings establish tricalbins as lipid transfer proteins, and reveal Ca2+-dependent and -independent lipid transfer activities mediated by these tricalbins, providing new insights into their mechanism in maintaining PM integrity at ER–PM MCSs.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein -related proteins (ORPs) form a large family of intracellular lipid binding/transfer proteins. A number of ORPs are implicated in inter-organelle lipid transfer over membrane contacts sites, their mode of action involving in several cases the transfer of two lipids in opposite directions, termed countercurrent lipid transfer. A unifying feature appears to be the capacity to bind phosphatidylinositol polyphosphates (PIPs). These lipids are in some cases transported by ORPs from one organelle to another to drive the transfer of another lipid against its concentration gradient, while they in other cases may act as allosteric regulators of ORPs, or an ORP may introduce a PIP to an enzyme for catalysis. Dysregulation of several ORP family members is implicated in cancers, ORP3, -4, -5 and -8 being thus far the most studied examples. The most likely mechanisms underlying their associations with malignant growth are (i) impacts on PIP-mediated signaling events resulting in altered Ca2+ homeostasis, bioenergetics, cell survival, proliferation, and migration, (ii) protein-protein interactions affecting the activity of signaling factors, and (iii) modification of cellular lipid transport in a way that facilitates the proliferation of malignant cells. In this review I discuss the existing functional evidence for the involvement of ORPs in cancerous growth, discuss the findings in the light of the putative mechanisms outlined above and the possibility of employing ORPs as targets of anti-cancer therapy.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms direct membrane contact sites with the plasma membrane (PM) in eukaryotic cells. These ER-PM contact sites play essential roles in lipid homeostasis, ion dynamics, and cell signaling, which are carried out by protein-protein or protein-lipid interactions. Distinct tethering factors dynamically control the architecture of ER-PM junctions in response to intracellular signals or external stimuli. The physiological roles of ER-PM contact sites are dependent on a variety of regulators that individually or cooperatively perform functions in diverse cellular processes. This review focuses on proteins functioning at ER-PM contact sites and highlights the recent progress in their mechanisms and physiological roles.

Abstract
Recent studies undoubtedly show the importance of inter organellar connections to maintain cellular homeostasis. In normal physiological conditions or in the presence of cellular and environmental stress, each organelle responds alone or in coordination to maintain cellular function. The Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are two important organelles with very specialized structural and functional properties. These two organelles are physically connected through very specialized proteins in the region called the mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM). The molecular foundation of this relationship is complex and involves not only ion homeostasis through the shuttling of calcium but also many structural and apoptotic proteins. IRE1alpha and PERK are known for their canonical function as an ER stress sensor controlling unfolded protein response during ER stress. The presence of these transmembrane proteins at the MAM indicates its potential involvement in other biological functions beyond ER stress signaling. Many recent studies have now focused on the non-canonical function of these sensors. In this review, we will focus on ER mitochondrial interdependence with special emphasis on the non-canonical role of ER stress sensors beyond ER stress.

Abstract
Sterols, especially cholesterol and phytosterols, are important components of food lipids. During food processing, such as heating, sterols, like unsaturated fatty acids, can be oxidized. Protein modification by secondary products of lipid peroxidation has recently been demonstrated in food through a process called lipation. Similarly, this study was performed to assess, for the first time, the possibility of reactions between food proteins and sterol oxidation products in conditions relevant for food processing. Therefore, reaction models consisting of oxysterol (cholesterol 5α,6α-epoxide) and reactive amino acids (arginine, lysine, and methionine) were incubated in various conditions of concentration (0–8 mM), time (0–120 min), and temperature (30–180 °C). The identification of lysine adducts through thin-layer chromatography (TLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a diode array detector (DAD), and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) evidenced a reaction with lysine. Moreover, the HPLC-ESI with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analyses allowed observation of the compound, whose mass to charge ratio m/z 710.5 and fragmentation patterns corresponded to the reaction product [M + H]+ between cholesterol-5α,6α-epoxide and the ε-amino-group of Nα-benzoylglycyl-l-lysine. Moreover, kinetic studies between Nα-benzoylglycyl-l-lysine as a model for protein-bound lysine and cholesterol 5α,6α-epoxide were performed, showing that the formation of lysine adducts strongly increases with time, temperature, and oxysterol level. This preliminary study suggests that in conditions commonly reached during food processing, sterol oxidation products could react covalently with protein-bound lysine, causing protein modifications.

Abstract
Viruses, including the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, redirect infected cell metabolism to their own purposes. After binding to its receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the cell surface, the SARS-CoV-2 is taken up by receptor-mediated endocytosis ending in the acidic endolysosomal compartment. The virus hijacks the endosomal machinery leading to fusion of viral and endosomal membranes and release of the viral RNA into the cytosol. This mini-review specifically highlights the membrane lipid organization of the endosomal system focusing on the unconventional and late endosome/lysosome-specific phospholipid, bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP). BMP is enriched in alveolar macrophages of lung, one of the target tissue of SARS-CoV-2. This review details the BMP structure, its unsaturated fatty acid composition and fusogenic properties that are essential for the highly dynamic formation of the intraluminal vesicles inside the endosomes. Interestingly, BMP is necessary for infection and replication of enveloped RNA virus such as SARS-CoV-1 and Dengue virus. We also emphasize the role of BMP in lipid sorting and degradation, especially cholesterol transport in cooperation with Niemann Pick type C proteins (NPC 1 and 2) and with some oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) as well as in sphingolipid degradation. Interestingly, numerous virus infection required NPC1 as well as ORPs along the endocytic pathway. Furthermore, BMP content is increased during pathological endosomal lipid accumulation in various lysosomal storage disorders. This is particularly important knowing the high percentage of patients with metabolic disorders among the SARS-CoV-2 infected patients presenting severe forms of COVID-19.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) ions are critically important in orchestrating countless regulatory processes in eukaryotic cells. Consequently, cells tightly control cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations using a complex array of Ca2+-selective ion channels, transporters, and signaling effectors. Ca2+ transport through various cellular membranes is highly dependent on the intrinsic properties of specific membrane compartments and conversely, local Ca2+ changes have profound effects on the membrane lipid composition of such membrane sub-domains. In particular, inositol phospholipids are a minor class of phospholipids that play pivotal roles in the control of Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways. In this review, we will highlight some of the recent advances in this field as well as their impact in defining future research directions.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites between the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM) provide a direct conduit for small molecule transfer and signaling between the two largest membranes of the cell. Contact is established through ER integral membrane proteins that physically tether the two membranes together, though the general mechanism is remarkably non-specific given the diversity of different tethering proteins. Primary tethers including VAMP-associated proteins (VAPs), Anoctamin/TMEM16/Ist2p homologs, and extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts), are largely conserved in most eukaryotes and are both necessary and sufficient for establishing ER-PM association. In addition, other species-specific ER-PM tether proteins impart unique functional attributes to both membranes at the cell cortex. This review distils recent functional and structural findings about conserved and species-specific tethers that form ER-PM contact sites, with an emphasis on their roles in the coordinate regulation of lipid metabolism, cellular structure, and responses to membrane stress.

Abstract
Ergosterol is an essential component of fungal cell membranes that determines the fluidity, permeability and activity of membrane-associated proteins. Ergosterol biosynthesis is a complex and highly energy-consuming pathway that involves the participation of many enzymes. Deficiencies in sterol biosynthesis cause pleiotropic defects that limit cellular proliferation and adaptation to stress. Thereby, fungal ergosterol levels are tightly controlled by the bioavailability of particular metabolites (e.g., sterols, oxygen and iron) and environmental conditions. The regulation of ergosterol synthesis is achieved by overlapping mechanisms that include transcriptional expression, feedback inhibition of enzymes and changes in their subcellular localization. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the sterol regulatory element (SRE)-binding proteins Upc2 and Ecm22, the heme-binding protein Hap1 and the repressor factors Rox1 and Mot3 coordinate ergosterol biosynthesis (ERG) gene expression. Here, we summarize the sterol biosynthesis, transport and detoxification systems of S. cerevisiae, as well as its adaptive response to sterol depletion, low oxygen, hyperosmotic stress and iron deficiency. Because of the large number of ERG genes and the crosstalk between different environmental signals and pathways, many aspects of ergosterol regulation are still unknown. The study of sterol metabolism and its regulation is highly relevant due to its wide applications in antifungal treatments, as well as in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Inflammation represents the driving feature of many diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, autoimmunity and infections. It is now established that metabolic processes shape a proper immune response and within this context the alteration in cellular cholesterol homeostasis has emerged as a culprit of many metabolic abnormalities observed in chronic inflammatory diseases. Cholesterol accumulation supports the inflammatory response of myeloid cells (i.e. augmentation of toll-like receptor signalling, inflammasome activation, and production of monocytes and neutrophils) which is beneficial in the response to infections, but worsens diseases associated with chronic metabolic inflammation including atherosclerosis. In addition to the innate immune system, cells of adaptive immunity, upon activation, have also been shown to undergo a reprogramming of cellular cholesterol metabolism, which results in the amplification of inflammatory responses. Aim of this review is to discuss (i) the molecular mechanisms linking cellular cholesterol metabolism to specific immune functions; (ii) how cellular cholesterol accumulation sustains chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis; (iii) the immunometabolic profile of patients with defects of genes affecting cholesterol metabolism including familial hypercholesterolaemia, cholesteryl ester storage disease, Niemann-Pick type C, and immunoglobulin D syndrome/mevalonate kinase deficiency. Available data indicate that cholesterol immunometabolism plays a key role in directing immune cells function and set the stage for investigating the repurposing of existing 'metabolic' drugs to modulate the immune response.

Abstract
Phospholipids are synthesized primarily within the endoplasmic reticulum and are subsequently distributed to various subcellular membranes to maintain the unique lipid composition of specific organelles. As a result, in most cases, the steady-state localization of membrane phospholipids does not match their site of synthesis. This raises the question of how diverse lipid species reach their final membrane destinations and what molecular processes provide the energy to maintain the lipid gradients that exist between various membrane compartments. Recent studies have highlighted the role of inositol phospholipids in the nonvesicular transport of lipids at membrane contact sites. This review attempts to summarize our current understanding of these complex lipid dynamics and highlights their implications for defining future research directions.

Abstract
ORPphilins are bioactive natural products that strongly and selectively inhibit the growth of some cancer cell lines and are proposed to target intracellular lipid-transfer proteins of the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family. These conserved proteins exchange key lipids, such as cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P), between organelle membranes. Among ORPphilins, molecules of the schweinfurthin family interfere with intracellular lipid distribution and metabolism, but their functioning at the molecular level is poorly understood. We report here that cell line sensitivity to schweinfurthin G (SWG) is inversely proportional to cellular OSBP levels. By taking advantage of the intrinsic fluorescence of SWG, we followed its fate in cell cultures and show that its incorporation at the trans-Golgi network depends on cellular abundance of OSBP. Using in vitro membrane reconstitution systems and cellular imaging approaches, we also report that SWG inhibits specifically the lipid transfer activity of OSBP. As a consequence, post-Golgi trafficking, membrane cholesterol levels, and PI(4)P turnover were affected. Finally, using intermolecular FRET analysis, we demonstrate that SWG directly binds to the lipid-binding cavity of OSBP. Collectively these results describe SWG as a specific and intrinsically fluorescent pharmacological tool for dissecting OSBP properties at the cellular and molecular levels. Our findings indicate that SWG binds OSBP with nanomolar affinity, that this binding is sensitive to the membrane environment, and that SWG inhibits the OSBP-catalyzed lipid exchange cycle.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) mediate non-vesicular lipid transfer between intracellular membranes. Phosphoinositide (PI) gradients play important roles in the ability of OSBP and some ORPs to transfer cholesterol and phosphatidylserine between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other organelle membranes. Here, we show that plasma membrane (PM) association of ORP3 (also known as OSBPL3), a poorly characterized ORP family member, is triggered by protein kinase C (PKC) activation, especially when combined with Ca2+ increases, and is determined by both PI(4,5)P 2 and PI4P After activation, ORP3 efficiently extracts PI4P and to a lesser extent phosphatidic acid from the PM, and slightly increases PM cholesterol levels. Full activation of ORP3 resulted in decreased PM PI4P levels and inhibited Ca2+ entry via the store-operated Ca2+ entry pathway. The C-terminal region of ORP3 that follows the strictly defined lipid transfer domain was found to be critical for the proper localization and function of the protein.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, with atherosclerosis as the major underlying factor, remains the leading cause of death worldwide. It is well established that cholesterol ester-enriched foam cells are the hallmark of atherosclerotic plaques. Multiple lines of evidence support that enhancing foam cell cholesterol efflux by HDL (high-density lipoprotein) particles, the first step of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), is a promising antiatherogenic strategy. Yet, excitement towards the therapeutic potential of manipulating RCT for the treatment of cardiovascular disease has faded because of the lack of the association between cardiovascular disease risk and what was typically measured in intervention trials, namely HDL cholesterol, which has an inconsistent relationship to HDL function and RCT. In this review, we will summarize some of the potential reasons for this inconsistency, update the mechanisms of RCT, and highlight conditions in which impaired HDL function or RCT contributes to vascular disease. On balance, the evidence still argues for further research to better understand how HDL functionality contributes to RCT to develop prevention and treatment strategies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

CircRNA_0001449 disturbs phosphatidylinositol homeostasis and AKT activity by enhancing Osbpl5 translation in transient cerebral ischemia. Redox Biol 2020; 34:101459. [PMID: 32086008 PMCID: PMC7327991 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2019] [Revised: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] is a phosphorylated derivative of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI(4)P] and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], which recruit and activate AKT in the plasma membrane (PM) to promote cellular survival. ORP5 anchors at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-PM contact sites and acts as a PI(4)P and PI(4,5)P2/phosphatidylserine (PS) exchanger. Here, a lipidomics analysis of the sensorimotor cortex revealed that transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) disturbs the homeostasis of phosphatidylinositols (PIs) and PS between the PM and ER. Conditional knockout mice showed that ORP5 contributes to this abnormal distribution. Abolishing the ORP5 gene significantly inhibited apoptosis and autophagy. RNA sequencing and RNA pull down analyses confirmed a competing endogenous RNA pathway in which circ_0001449 sponges miR-124-3p and miR-32-5p to promote Osbpl5 translation. Our data showed that circRNA_0001449 regulates membrane homeostasis via ORP5 and is involved in the AKT survival pathway. In sensorimotor cortex, lipids homeostasis of the PM and ER is disrupted after transient cerebral ischemia. ORP5 upregulation reduces the PI(3,4,5)P3 and its derivatives in the PM, thus weakens the AKT activity. Circ_0001449 competes with Osbpl5 mRNA to bind to miR-124-3p and miR-32-5p, which enhances the ORP5 protein level.

Abstract
Much remains to be discovered about the intersection of tissue-specific transcription control and the epigenetics of skeletal muscle (SkM), a very complex and dynamic organ. From four gene families, Leucine-Rich Repeat Containing (LRRC), Oxysterol Binding Protein Like (OSBPL), Ankyrin Repeat and Socs Box (ASB), and Transmembrane Protein (TMEM), we chose 21 genes that are preferentially expressed in human SkM relative to 52 other tissue types and analyzed relationships between their tissue-specific epigenetics and expression. We also compared their genetics, proteomics, and descriptions in the literature. For this study, we identified genes with little or no previous descriptions of SkM functionality (ASB4, ASB8, ASB10, ASB12, ASB16, LRRC14B, LRRC20, LRRC30, TMEM52, TMEM233, OSBPL6/ORP6, and OSBPL11/ORP11) and included genes whose SkM functions had been previously addressed (ASB2, ASB5, ASB11, ASB15, LRRC2, LRRC38, LRRC39, TMEM38A/TRIC-A, and TMEM38B/TRIC-B). Some of these genes have associations with SkM or heart disease, cancer, bone disease, or other diseases. Among the transcription-related SkM epigenetic features that we identified were: super-enhancers, promoter DNA hypomethylation, lengthening of constitutive low-methylated promoter regions, and SkM-related enhancers for one gene embedded in a neighboring gene (e.g., ASB8-PFKM, LRRC39-DBT, and LRRC14B-PLEKHG4B gene-pairs). In addition, highly or lowly co-expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes probably regulate several of these genes. Our findings give insights into tissue-specific epigenetic patterns and functionality of related genes in a gene family and can elucidate normal and disease-related regulation of gene expression in SkM.

Abstract
Among the structural phospholipids that form the bulk of eukaryotic cell membranes, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is unique in that it also serves as the common precursor for low-abundance regulatory lipids, collectively referred to as polyphosphoinositides (PPIn). The metabolic turnover of PPIn species has received immense attention because of the essential functions of these lipids as universal regulators of membrane biology and their dysregulation in numerous human pathologies. The diverse functions of PPIn lipids occur, in part, by orchestrating the spatial organization and conformational dynamics of peripheral or integral membrane proteins within defined subcellular compartments. The emerging role of stable contact sites between adjacent membranes as specialized platforms for the coordinate control of ion exchange, cytoskeletal dynamics, and lipid transport has also revealed important new roles for PPIn species. In this review, we highlight the importance of membrane contact sites formed between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) for the integrated regulation of PPIn metabolism within the PM. Special emphasis will be placed on non-vesicular lipid transport during control of the PtdIns biosynthetic cycle as well as toward balancing the turnover of the signaling PPIn species that define PM identity.

Abstract
Ventricular Zone Expressed PH Domain-Containing 1 (VEPH1) is an 833-amino acid protein encoded by an evolutionarily conserved single-copy gene that emerged with pseudocoelomates. This gene has no paralog in any species identified to date and few studies have investigated the function of its encoded protein. Loss of expression of its ortholog, melted, in Drosophila results in a severe neural phenotype and impacts TOR, FoxO, and Hippo signaling. Studies in mammals indicate a role for VEPH1 in modulating TGFβ signaling and AKT activation, while numerous studies indicate VEPH1 expression is altered in several pathological conditions, including cancer. Although often referred to as an uncharacterized protein, available evidence supports VEPH1 as an adaptor protein capable of modulating multiple signal transduction networks. Further studies are required to define these adaptor functions and the role of VEPH1 in development and disease progression.

Abstract
Cellular organelles are not static but show dynamism-a property that is likely relevant for their function. In addition, they interact with other organelles in a highly dynamic manner. In this review, we analyze the proteins involved in the interaction between mitochondria and other cellular organelles, especially the endoplasmic reticulum, lipid droplets, and lysosomes. Recent results indicate that, on one hand, metabolic alterations perturb the interaction between mitochondria and other organelles, and, on the other hand, that deficiency in proteins involved in the tethering between mitochondria and the ER or in specific functions of the interaction leads to metabolic alterations in a variety of tissues. The interaction between organelles is an emerging field that will permit to identify key proteins, to delineate novel modulation pathways, and to elucidate their implications in human disease.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functionally distinct organelles. Long considered as independent units in the cytosol, organelles are actually in constant and direct interaction with each other, mostly through the establishment of physical connections named membrane contact sites. Membrane contact sites constitute specific active regions involved in organelle dynamics, inter-organelle exchanges and communications. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which spreads throughout the cytosol, forms an extensive network that has many connections with the other organelles of the cell. Ample connections between the ER and endocytic organelles are observed in many cell types, highlighting their prominent physiological roles. Even though morphologically similar - a contact is a contact -, the identity of ER-Endosome contacts is defined by their specific molecular composition, which in turn determines the function of the contact. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of ER-Endosome contact site formation and their associated cellular functions. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Endoplasmic reticulum platforms for lipid dynamics edited by Shamshad Cockcroft and Christopher Stefan.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein is an important non-vesicular trafficking protein involved in the transportation of lipids in eukaryotic cells. Oxysterol-binding protein is identified as oxysterol-binding protein-related proteins (ORPs) in mammals and oxysterol-binding protein homologue (Osh) in yeast. Research has described the function and structure of oxysterol-binding protein in mammals and yeast, but little information about the protein's structure and function in filamentous fungi has been reported. This article focuses on recent advances in the research of Osh proteins in yeast and filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus nidulans, and Candida albicans. Furthermore, we point out some problems in the field, summarizing the membrane contact sites (MCS) of Osh proteins in yeast, and consider the future of Osh protein development.

Abstract
African swine fever (ASF) is a hemorrhagic fever of wild and domestic pigs with a high rate of mortality. Originally endemic in Africa, this disease is currently disseminating in Europe and China, causing a large socioeconomic impact. ASF is caused by a DNA virus, African swine fever virus (ASFV). There is no vaccine available against ASFV, limiting the options for disease control. ASFV reorganizes intracellular membranes to generate viral factories (VFs) in order to amplify its genome. However, little is known about the process involved in the formation of these viral replication organelles. Membrane contact sites (MCSs) allow nonvesicular lipids and ion exchange between organelles. Lipid exchange to form VFs apparently requires a number of proteins at MCSs, such as the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), the acyl-coenzyme A binding domain containing 3 (ACBD3) and the phosphatidylinositol-phosphate-4-kinase III beta (PI4Kβ). Itraconazole (ITZ) is an antifungal agent that targets sterol-transport molecules such as OSBP and OSBP-related protein 4 (ORP4). 25-Hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) inhibits lipid transport by high affinity binding OSBP. In this work, we analyzed the antiviral function of ITZ and 25-HC against ASFV in Vero cell cultures using the cell-adapted Ba71V isolate. ITZ and 25-HC decreased significantly ASFV replication. Our study revealed OSBP distribution in cytoplasmic membranes in uninfected Vero cells and to the periphery of VFs in infected cells. In addition, we showed that OSBP and OSBP-related proteins, PI4Kβ and ACBD3 were recruited to VFs in the context ASFV infection.

Abstract
P5A ATPases are expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of all eukaryotic cells, and their disruption results in severe ER stress. However, the function of these ubiquitous membrane proteins, which belong to the P-type ATPase superfamily, is unknown. We purified a functional tagged version of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae P5A ATPase Spf1p and observed that the ATP hydrolytic activity of the protein is stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). Furthermore, SPF1 exhibited negative genetic interactions with SAC1, encoding a PI4P phosphatase, and with OSH1 to OSH6, encoding Osh proteins, which, when energized by a PI4P gradient, drive export of sterols and lipids from the ER. Deletion of SPF1 resulted in increased sensitivity to inhibitors of sterol production, a marked change in the ergosterol/lanosterol ratio, accumulation of sterols in the plasma membrane, and cytosolic accumulation of lipid bodies. We propose that Spf1p maintains cellular sterol homeostasis by influencing the PI4P-induced and Osh-mediated export of sterols from the ER.

Abstract
![]()
Oxysterol-binding
protein (OSBP) is a lipid transport and regulatory
protein required for the replication of Enterovirus genus viruses, which includes many significant human pathogens.
Short-term exposure (i.e., 1–6 h) to a low dose (i.e., 1 nM)
of the natural product compound OSW-1 induces a reduction of cellular
OSBP levels by ∼90% in multiple different cell lines with no
measurable cytotoxicity, defect in cellular proliferation, or global
proteome reduction. Interestingly, the reduction of OSBP levels persists
multiple days after the low-dose, transient OSW-1 compound treatment
is ended and the intracellular OSW-1 compound levels drop to undetectable
levels. The reduction in OSBP levels is inherited in multiple generations
of cells that are propagated after the OSW-1 compound treatment is
stopped. The enduring multiday, multigenerational reduction of OSBP
levels triggered by the OSW-1 compound is not due to proteasome degradation
of OSBP or due to a reduction in OSBP mRNA levels. OSW-1 compound
treatment induces transient autophagy in cells, but blocking autophagy
does not rescue OSBP levels. Although the specific cellular mechanism
of long-term OSBP repression is not yet identified, these results
clearly show the existence of an OSBP specific cellular regulation
process that is triggered upon treatment with an OSBP-binding compound.
The stable reduction of OSBP levels upon short-term, transient OSW-1
compound treatment will be a powerful tool to understand OSBP regulation
and cellular function. Additionally, the persistent reduction in OSBP
levels triggered by the transient OSW-1 compound treatment substantially
reduces viral replication in treated cells. Therefore, the long-term,
compound-induced reduction of OSBP in cells presents a new route to
broad spectrum anti-Enterovirus activity, including
as a novel route to antiviral prophylactic treatment through small
molecule targeting a human host protein.
