Abstract
Obesity and the associated comorbidities are a growing health threat worldwide. Adipose tissue dysfunction, impaired adipokine activity, and inflammation are central to metabolic diseases related to obesity. In particular, the excess storage of lipids in adipose tissues disturbs cellular homeostasis. Amongst others, organelle function and cell signaling, often related to the altered composition of specialized membrane microdomains (lipid rafts), are affected. Within this context, the conserved family of annexins are well known to associate with membranes in a calcium (Ca2+)- and phospholipid-dependent manner in order to regulate membrane-related events, such as trafficking in endo- and exocytosis and membrane microdomain organization. These multiple activities of annexins are facilitated through their diverse interactions with a plethora of lipids and proteins, often in different cellular locations and with consequences for the activity of receptors, transporters, metabolic enzymes, and signaling complexes. While increasing evidence points at the function of annexins in lipid homeostasis and cell metabolism in various cells and organs, their role in adipose tissue, obesity and related metabolic diseases is still not well understood. Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is a potent pro-resolving mediator affecting the regulation of body weight and metabolic health. Relevant for glucose metabolism and fatty acid uptake in adipose tissue, several studies suggest AnxA2 to contribute to coordinate glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) translocation and to associate with the fatty acid transporter CD36. On the other hand, AnxA6 has been linked to the control of adipocyte lipolysis and adiponectin release. In addition, several other annexins are expressed in fat tissues, yet their roles in adipocytes are less well examined. The current review article summarizes studies on the expression of annexins in adipocytes and in obesity. Research efforts investigating the potential role of annexins in fat tissue relevant to health and metabolic disease are discussed.

Abstract
Lung surfactant reduces surface tension and maintains the stability of alveoli. How surfactant is released from alveolar epithelial type II cells is not fully understood. Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is the enzyme responsible for pumping H(+) into lamellar bodies and is required for the processing of surfactant proteins and the packaging of surfactant lipids. However, its role in lung surfactant secretion is unknown. Proteomic analysis revealed that vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) dominated the alveolar type II cell lipid raft proteome. Western blotting confirmed the association of V-ATPase a1 and B1/2 subunits with lipid rafts and their enrichment in lamellar bodies. The dissipation of lamellar body pH gradient by Bafilomycin A1 (Baf A1), an inhibitor of V-ATPase, increased surfactant secretion. Baf A1-stimulated secretion was blocked by the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator, BAPTA-AM, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, staurosporine, and the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), KN-62. Baf A1 induced Ca(2+) release from isolated lamellar bodies. Thapsigargin reduced the Baf A1-induced secretion, indicating cross-talk between lamellar body and endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pools. Stimulation of type II cells with surfactant secretagogues dissipated the pH gradient across lamellar bodies and disassembled the V-ATPase complex, indicating the physiological relevance of the V-ATPase-mediated surfactant secretion. Finally, silencing of V-ATPase a1 and B2 subunits decreased stimulated surfactant secretion, indicating that these subunits were crucial for surfactant secretion. We conclude that V-ATPase regulates surfactant secretion via an increased Ca(2+) mobilization from lamellar bodies and endoplasmic reticulum, and the activation of PKC and CaMKII. Our finding revealed a previously unrealized role of V-ATPase in surfactant secretion.

Abstract
A membrane microdomain enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids or so called "raft" region was found to contain many signal transducing proteins such as GPI-anchored proteins, trimeric G proteins and protein tyrosine kinases. Because brain-derived raft contains two calmodulin-binding proteins, GAP-43 and NAP-22 as the major protein components, the raft domain is assumed to be important in the Ca(2+)-signaling. In this study, we analyzed protein components showing Ca(2+)-dependent binding to the raft of synaptic plasma membrane from rat brain. SDS-PAGE analysis of the protein components in the EGTA eluate from the raft prepared in the presence of Ca(2+)-ions showed the elution of 80 kDa, 68 kDa, 22 kDa, and 21 kDa proteins. These proteins were identified as protein kinase C alpha (80 kDa) and annexin VI (68 kDa) from the partial amino-acid sequencing, and neurocalcin alpha (22 kDa) and calmodulin (21 kDa) with western blotting and electrophoretic mobilities in the presence or absence of Ca(2+) ions. Further immunoblotting experiments showed the Ca(2+)-dependent association of conventional, but not non-conventional, subtypes of PKC to the raft.

Abstract
Alveolar type II cells secrete lung surfactant through exocytosis of lamellar bodies. We previously showed that the annexin II tetramer (Anx IIt) mediates the fusion of lamellar bodies with liposomes. The present study examined the possible involvement of membrane proteins in this process. Pre-treatment of lamellar bodies with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin reduced Anx IIt-mediated membrane fusion. With the use of an Anx IIt-conjugated Sepharose column, three Anx IIt-binding proteins with molecular weights of 67,000, 36,000 and 34,000 were isolated froM the Triton X-100 extract of bovine lung tissue membranes. These proteins were identified as annexins VI, II and IV by Western blot. The interaction of Anx IIt with annexins II and IV was confirmed by ligand blot assay. An EGTA-resistant membrane-bound annexin II was present in lung type II cells. Anx IIt preferentially hound to membranous annexin II compared with cytosolic annexin II of type II cells. With the use of immunofluorescence, annexin II was found to translocate from cytoplasm to plasma membranes in type II cells upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These results suggest that cytosolic annexin II may bind to membranous annexin II and form a protein-protein bridge to bring two membranes together.

Abstract
Stem cells in the intestinal epithelium give rise to enterocytes, goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, and Paneth cells. Each of these cell lines plays a role in cytoprotection of the intestinal mucosa. In particular, it has been demonstrated that mature enterocytes can act as antigen presenting cells. Parenteral and enteral nutrition are used to nourish critically ill patients. However, these regimens are unfortunately associated with gut atrophy. Glutamine, the preferred intestinal nutrient, reverses this gut atrophy and plays a key role in maintaining the barrier function of the gut. Specific nutrients (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) have been used to modulate intestinal adaption. In addition, ornithine has been shown to act as a regulator of intestinal adaption. In this review, we discuss the relationship between the biology of enterocytes and failure of the gut barrier.

Abstract
Conjectural results have been reported on the capacity of inflammatory secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) to hydrolyse mammalian membrane phospholipids. Development of an assay based on the release of non-esterified fatty acids by the enzyme acting on the organized phospholipid mixture constituting the membrane matrix has led to the identification of two prominent effectors, sphingomyelin (SPH) and annexin. Recombinant human type II sPLA2 hydrolyses red-cell membrane phospholipids with a marked preference for the inner leaflet. This preference is apparently related to the high content of SPH in the outer leaflet, which inhibits sPLA2. This inhibition by SPH is specific for sPLA2. Cholesterol counteracts the inhibition of sPLA2 by SPH, suggesting that the SPH-to-cholesterol ratio accounts in vivo for the variable susceptibility of cell membranes to sPLA2. Different effects were observed of the presence of the non-hydrolysable D-alpha-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (D-DPPC), which renders the membranes rigid but does not inhibit sPLA2. Annexin VI was shown, along with other annexins, to inhibit sPLA2 activity by sequestering the phospholipid substrate. The present study has provided the first evidence that annexin VI, in concentrations that inhibit hydrolysis of purified phospholipid substrates, stimulated the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by sPLA2. The activation requires the presence of membrane proteins. The effect is specific for type II sPLA2 and is not reproducible with type I PLA2. The activation by annexin VI of sPLA2 acting on red cell membranes results in the preferential release of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It suggests that type II sPLA2, in conjunction with annexin VI, might be involved in the final step of endocytosis and/or exocytosis providing the free polyunsaturated fatty acids acting synergistically to cause membrane fusion.

Abstract
Annexin VI is a 68-kDa calcium-, phospholipid-, and cytoskeletal-element-binding protein, which has been implicated in various processes, including calcium release and sequestration in calcifying cartilage, in a receptor-mediated endocytosis in human fibroblasts, and in secretion from chromaffin granules. In these processes it was found that, in addition to Ca2+ and annexin, the presence of ATP is also a prerequisite. In the present report we show that annexin VI binds ATP and the binding of nucleotide to protein is accompanied by quenching of an intrinsic fluorescence of annexin VI, which was found to be specific for 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate, GTP and ATP, and dependent on the annexin conformation. The nucleotide-binding site within an annexin VI molecule is likely to be close to the tryptophan-containing domain of annexin VI. We propose that ATP plays the role of a physiological ligand for annexin VI, and its binding to annexin VI may represent an alternative cellular mechanism for the regulation of annexin-membrane interactions coupled to overall energy transitions in the cell.

Abstract
Annexins were isolated from Paramecium cell homogenates by standard ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) extraction and 100 000-g centrifugation. Two different antibodies (Abs) against synthetic peptides were used, Call-15 and B15, which in mammalian cells recognize a sequence of annexin II or a common sequence occurring in several annexins (except for annexin II), respectively. With anti-Call-15 Abs, western blots from EGTA extracts showed strongly reactive bands of 44.5 and 46 kDa and of higher values. Some of these bands bound to the 100 000-g pellet fraction when Ca(2+) was added. Immuno- and affinity labelling revealed selective, Ca(2+)-dependent labelling of the cell cortex, with enrichment around trichocyst docking sites (facing subplasmalemmal Ca(2+) stores). Cortical fluorescence labelling decreased in wild-type (7S) cells when trichocyst ghosts were detached after synchronous exocytosis. Similarly, cortical labelling was reduced when intact trichocysts were detached from the cell surface of non-discharge mutant cells (nd9-28 degrees C, showing identical bands on blots), which then contained numerous heavily labelled phagolysosomes. This strongly suggests annexin downregulation. All together, the dynamic labelling of cortical structures we observed strongly supports involvement of calpactin-like annexins in trichocyst docking. Anti-B15 Abs recognized a band of 51 kDa and some of higher values. These Abs selectively labelled the outlines of the cytoproct, the site of spent phagolysosome exocytosis. In conclusion, our data indicate involvement of specific sets of annexins in site-specific positioning and attachment of widely different secretory organelles at the cell surface in Paramecium cells.

Abstract
This study is concerned with the determination of the function of the 68kDa calcium-binding protein, annexin VI. Studies on the structure and regulation of the gene include a detailed analysis of annexin VI expressed heterologously in human A431 carcinoma cells. We have recently discovered that annexin VI is subject to a novel growth dependent post-translational modification. Interestingly, the protein exerts a negative effect on A431 cells. This effect was manifested as a partial reversal of the transformed phenotype. We are currently exploring the hypothesis that the post-translational modification of annexin VI is required for sub-cellular targeting, and that correct localisation within the cell is essential for function.

Abstract
The annexins are a family of proteins that bind acidic phospholipids in the presence of Ca2+. The interaction of these proteins with biological membranes has led to the suggestion that these proteins may play a role in membrane trafficking events such as exocytosis, endocytosis and cell-cell adhesion. One member of the annexin family, annexin II, has been shown to exist as a monomer, heterodimer or heterotetramer. The ability of annexin II tetramer to bridge secretory granules to plasma membrane has suggested that this protein may play a role in Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis. Annexin II tetramer has also been demonstrated on the extracellular face of some metastatic cells where it mediates the binding of certain metastatic cells to normal cells. Annexin II tetramer is a major cellular substrate of protein kinase C and pp60src. Phosphorylation of annexin II tetramer is a negative modulator of protein function.
