Abstract
The interactions between organelles can maintain normal cell activity. Lysosomes, as waste disposal systems of cells, have many important interactions with the plasma membrane, especially in the repair of cracked plasma membrane. Unfortunately, a way to study the relationship between them synchronously is still lacking. Therefore, in this work, we constructed a dual-targeting probe (Mem-Lyso) to simultaneously visualize the plasma membrane and lysosomes for the first time. Taking advantage of dual-targeting, the probe Mem-Lyso could successfully track and analyze the dynamic changes of the plasma membrane and lysosomes in different bioprocesses. The experimental results demonstrated that, compared to the normal status, there was obvious fusion between the plasma membrane and lysosomes in the apoptosis process. Furthermore, because of the sensitivity to polarity, Mem-Lyso could label the plasma membrane and lysosomes with red and yellow colors in cells, respectively. Moreover, the skeleton and gastrointestinal wall of zebrafish were visualized by dual-color imaging, respectively. More importantly, the dual-targeting property endowed Mem-Lyso with the ability to spatially distinguish the cholesterol (CL) content in the plasma membrane, which provided a potential detection tool for biological research and diagnosis of related diseases.

Abstract
Visualizing cholesterol (CL) fluctuation in plasma membranes is a crucially important yet challenging task in cell biology. Here, we proposed a new imaging strategy based on permeability changes of plasma membranes triggered by different CL contents to result in controllable spatial distribution of single fluorescent probes (SF-probes) in subcellular organelles. Three spatial distribution-controllable SF-probes (PMM-Me, PMM-Et, and PMM-Bu) for imaging CL fluctuation in plasma membranes were rationally developed. These SF-probes target plasma membranes and mitochondria at normal CL levels, while they display solely staining in plasma membranes and mitochondria at increased and decreased CL levels, respectively. These polarity-sensitive probes also show distinct emission colors with fluorescence peaks of 575 and 620 nm in plasma membranes and mitochondria, respectively. Thus, the CL fluctuation in plasma membranes can be clearly visualized by means of the spatially distributed and two-color emissive SF-probes.

Renin-angiotensin system impairs macrophage lipid metabolism to promote age-related macular degeneration in mouse models. Commun Biol 2020; 3:767.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome, a condition involving obesity and hypertension, increases the risk of aging-associated diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here, we demonstrated that high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice accumulated oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in macrophages through the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). The ox-LDL-loaded macrophages were responsible for visual impairment in HFD mice along with a disorder of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which is required for photoreceptor outer segment renewal. RAS repressed ELAVL1, which reduced PPARγ, impeding ABCA1 induction to levels that are sufficient to excrete overloaded cholesterol within the macrophages. The ox-LDL-loaded macrophages expressed inflammatory cytokines and attacked the RPE. An antihypertensive drug, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker, resolved the decompensation of lipid metabolism in the macrophages and reversed the RPE condition and visual function in HFD mice. AT1R signaling could be a future therapeutic target for macrophage-associated aging diseases, such as AMD. Nagai et al. show that mice fed high-fat diet (HFD) accumulate oxidized low-density lipoprotein in macrophages through the renin–angiotensin system, which impairs visual function. They find that angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) improves the visual function of HFD mice, suggesting AT1R signaling as a potential therapeutic target for age-related macular degeneration.
