Abstract
Lipids comprise an extremely heterogeneous group of compounds that perform a wide variety of biological functions. Traditional view of lipids as important structural components of the cell and compounds playing a trophic role is currently being supplemented by information on the possible participation of lipids in signaling, not only intracellular, but also intercellular. The review article discusses current data on the role of lipids and their metabolites formed in glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia) in communication of these cells with neurons. In addition to metabolic transformations of lipids in each type of glial cells, special attention is paid to the lipid signal molecules (phosphatidic acid, arachidonic acid and its metabolites, cholesterol, etc.) and the possibility of their participation in realization of synaptic plasticity, as well as in other possible mechanisms associated with neuroplasticity. All these new data can significantly expand our knowledge about the regulatory functions of lipids in neuroglial relationships.

Kowluru A, Gleason NF. Underappreciated roles for Rho GDP dissociation inhibitors (RhoGDIs) in cell function: Lessons learned from the pancreatic islet β-cell. Biochem Pharmacol 2022; 197:114886. [PMID: 34968495 PMCID: PMC8858860 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Rho subfamily of G proteins (e.g., Rac1) have been implicated in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cell. Interestingly, metabolic stress (e.g., chronic exposure to high glucose) results in sustained activation of Rac1 leading to increased oxidative stress, impaired insulin secretion and β-cell dysfunction. Activation-deactivation of Rho G proteins is mediated by three classes of regulatory proteins, namely the guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which facilitate the conversion of inactive G proteins to their active conformations; the GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), which convert the active G proteins to their inactive forms); and the GDP-dissociation inhibitors (GDIs), which prevent the dissociation of GDP from G proteins. Contrary to a large number of GEFs (82 members) and GAPs (69 members), only three members of RhoGDIs (RhoGDIα, RhoGDIβ and RhoGDIγ) are expressed in mammalian cells.Even though relatively smaller in number, the GDIs appear to play essential roles in G protein function (e.g., subcellular targeting) for effector activation and cell regulation. Emerging evidence also suggests that the GDIs are functionally regulated via post-translational modification (e.g., phosphorylation) and by lipid second messengers, lipid kinases and lipid phosphatases. We highlight the underappreciated regulatory roles of RhoGDI-Rho G protein signalome in islet β-cell function in health and metabolic stress. Potential knowledge gaps in the field, and directions for future research for the identification of novel therapeutic targets to loss of functional β-cell mass under the duress of metabolic stress are highlighted.

Binding of liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine to scavenger receptor class B type 1 and its modulation by phosphatidic acid in HEK293T cells. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2021; 1868:119043. [PMID: 33862056 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2021.119043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a method to analyze liposomal binding to a cell membrane receptor using fluorescence-labeled liposomes and demonstrated that scavenger class B type 1 (SR-B1) plays a crucial role in binding of liposomes containing phosphatidylcholine (PC) to HEK293T cell membrane and phosphatidic acid (PA) can modulate it. Site-directed mutagenesis of SR-B1 revealed that S112F and T175A mutations in its ectodomain abrogated binding and endocytosis of PC liposomes in HEK293T cells. K151A and K156A mutations attenuated their binding and endocytosis too. Although the effects of mutations on binding and endocytosis were similar between PC liposomes and PC/PA and PA liposomes, SR-B1 dependency appeared to be PC > PC/PA > PA liposomes. Our data indicate that (i) nanoparticles including high-density lipoprotein (HDL), silica, and liposomes bind to a common or close site of SR-B1, and (ii) PC/PA and PA liposomes bind not only to SR-B1 but also other receptor(s) in HEK293T cells. In addition, PC/PA liposomes induced lipid droplet (LD) formation in HEK293T cells more than PC liposomes. Treatment of HEK293T cells with SR-B1 siRNA suppressed PC/PA liposome-induced LD formation. Taken together, our results demonstrate that SR-B1 plays an essential role in binding PC-containing liposomes and the subsequent induction of cellular responses, while PA can modulate them.

Abstract
We aimed to characterize the salivary protein components and identify biomarkers in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A proteomic analysis using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry was performed to determine the alterations of salivary proteins between patients with SLE and healthy controls, and the concentrations of the candidate proteins were measured through Western blot analysis and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The 10 differentially expressed protein spots were immunoglobulin gamma-3 chain C region (IGHG3), immunoglobulin alpha-1 chain C region, protein S100A8, lactoferrin, leukemia-associated protein 7, and 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase. The patients with SLE exhibited enhanced salivary IGHG3 (3.9 ± 2.15 pg/mL) and lactoferrin (4.7 ± 1.8 pg/mL) levels compared to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (1.8 ± 1.01 pg/mL and 3.2 ± 1.6 pg/mL, respectively; p < 0.001 for both) or healthy controls (2.2 ± 1.64 pg/mL and 2.2 ± 1.7 pg/mL, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). The salivary IGHG3 levels correlated with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r = 0.26, p = 0.01), anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibody levels (r = 0.25, p = 0.01), and nephritis (r = 0.28, p = 0.01). The proteomic analysis revealed that the salivary IGHG3 levels were associated with SLE and lupus disease activity, suggesting that salivary IGHG3 may be a promising noninvasive biomarker for SLE.

Abstract
We used yeast proteome microarrays (∼5800 purified proteins) to conduct a high-throughput and systematic screening of PI5P-interacting proteins with PI5P-tagged fluorescent liposomal nanovesicles. Lissamine rhodamine B-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanol was incorporated into the liposome bilayer to provide the nanovesicles with fluorescence without any encapsulants, which not only made the liposome fabrication much easier without the need for purification but also improved the chip-probing quality. A special chip assay was washed very gently without the traditional spin-dry step. Forty-five PI5P-interacting proteins were identified in triplicate with this special chip assay. Subsequently, we used flow cytometry to validate these interactions, and a total of 41 PI5P-interacting proteins were confirmed. Enrichment analysis revealed that these proteins have significant functions associated with ribosome biogenesis, rRNA processing, ribosome binding, GTP binding, and hydrolase activity. Their component enrichment is located in the nucleolus. The InterPro domain analysis indicated that PI5P-interacting proteins are enriched in the P-loop containing nucleoside triphosphate hydrolases domain (P-loop). Additionally, using the MEME program, we identified a consensus motif (IVGPAGTGKSTLF) that contains the Walker A sequence, a well-known nucleotide-binding motif. Furthermore, using a quartz crystal microbalance, both the consensus motif and Walker A motif showed strong affinities to PI5P-containing liposomes but not to PI5P-deprived liposomes or PI-containing liposomes. Additionally, the glycine (G6) and lysine (K7) residues of the Walker A motif (-GPAGTG6K7S-) were found to be critical to the PI5P-binding ability. This study not only identified an additional set of PI5P-interacting proteins but also revealed the strong PI5P-binding affinity (Kd = 1.81 × 10-7 M) of the Walker A motif beyond the motif's nucleotide-binding characteristic.

Abstract
Abstract
Lipids function not only as the major structural components of cell membranes, but also as molecular messengers that transduce signals to trigger downstream signaling events in the cell. Phosphatidic acid (PA), the simplest and a minor class of glycerophospholipids, is a key intermediate for the synthesis of membrane and storage lipids, and also plays important roles in mediating diverse cellular and physiological processes in eukaryotes ranging from microbes to mammals and higher plants. PA comprises different molecular species that can act differently, and is found in virtually all organisms, tissues, and organellar membranes, with variations in total content and molecular species composition. The cellular levels of PA are highly dynamic in response to stimuli and multiple enzymatic reactions can mediate its production and degradation. Moreover, its unique physicochemical properties compared with other glycerophospholipids allow PA to influence membrane structure and dynamics, and interact with various proteins. PA has emerged as a class of new lipid mediators modulating various signaling and cellular processes via its versatile effects, such as membrane tethering, conformational changes, and enzymatic activities of target proteins, and vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a simple glycerophospholipid with a well-established role as an intermediate in phospholipid biosynthesis. In addition to its role in lipid biosynthesis, PA has been proposed to act as a signaling molecule that modulates several aspects of cell biology including membrane transport. PA can be generated in eukaryotic cells by several enzymes whose activity is regulated in the context of signal transduction and enzymes that can metabolize PA thus terminating its signaling activity have also been described. Further, several studies have identified PA binding proteins and changes in their activity are proposed to be mediators of the signaling activity of this lipid. Together these enzymes and proteins constitute a PA signaling toolkit that mediates the signaling functions of PA in cells. Recently, a number of novel genetic models for the analysis of PA function in vivo and analytical methods to quantify PA levels in cells have been developed and promise to enhance our understanding of PA functions. Studies of several elements of the PA signaling toolkit in a single cell type have been performed and are presented to provide a perspective on our understanding of the biochemical and functional organization of pools of PA in a eukaryotic cell. Finally, we also provide a perspective on the potential role of PA in human disease, synthesizing studies from model organisms, human disease genetics and analysis using recently developed PLD inhibitors.

Abstract
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) is crucial for successful uterine implantation and maintaining pregnancy. We previously reported that phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is required for cAMP-induced decidualization of hESCs. However, the mechanism by which phosphatidic acid (PA), the product of PLD1 action, might regulate decidualization is not known. We confirmed that PA induced decidualization of hESCs by observing morphological changes and measuring increased levels of decidualization markers such as IGFBP1 and prolactin transcripts (P < 0.05). Treatment with PA reduced phosphorylation of Akt and consequently that of FoxO1, which led to the increased IGFBP1 and prolactin mRNA levels (P < 0.05). Conversely, PLD1 knockdown rescued Akt phosphorylation. Binding of PP2A and Akt increased in response to cAMP or PA, suggesting that their binding is directly responsible for the inactivation of Akt during decidualization. Consistent with this observation, treatment with okadaic acid, a PP2A inhibitor, also inhibited cAMP-induced decidualization by blocking Akt dephosphorylation.
