Abstract
Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy (NLSDM) and with ichthyosis (NLSDI) are rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by mutations in the PNPLA2 and in the ABHD5/CGI58 genes, respectively. These genes encode the adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and α-β hydrolase domain 5 (ABHD5) proteins, which play key roles in the function of lipid droplets (LDs). LDs, the main cellular storage sites of triacylglycerols and sterol esters, are highly dynamic organelles. Indeed, LDs are critical for both lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Partial or total PNPLA2 or ABHD5/CGI58 knockdown is characteristic of the cells of NLSD patients; thus, these cells are natural models with which one can unravel LD function. In this review we firstly summarize genetic and clinical data collected from NLSD patients, focusing particularly on muscle, skin, heart, and liver damage due to impaired LD function. Then, we discuss how NLSD cells were used to investigate and expand the current structural and functional knowledge of LDs.

Abstract
Mutations of comparative gene identification 58 (CGI-58) in humans cause Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease in which excess triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulates in multiple tissues. CGI-58 recently has been ascribed two distinct biochemical activities, including coactivation of adipose triglyceride lipase and acylation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). It is noteworthy that both the substrate (LPA) and the product (phosphatidic acid) of the LPA acyltransferase reaction are well-known signaling lipids. Therefore, we hypothesized that CGI-58 is involved in generating lipid mediators that regulate TAG metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Here, we show that CGI-58 is required for the generation of signaling lipids in response to inflammatory stimuli and that lipid second messengers generated by CGI-58 play a critical role in maintaining the balance between inflammation and insulin action. Furthermore, we show that CGI-58 is necessary for maximal TH1 cytokine signaling in the liver. This novel role for CGI-58 in cytokine signaling may explain why diminished CGI-58 expression causes severe hepatic lipid accumulation yet paradoxically improves hepatic insulin action. Collectively, these findings establish that CGI-58 provides a novel source of signaling lipids. These findings contribute insight into the basic mechanisms linking TH1 cytokine signaling to nutrient metabolism.

Abstract
Lipolysis is the biochemical pathway responsible for the catabolism of triacylglycerol (TAG) stored in cellular lipid droplets. The hydrolytic cleavage of TAG generates non-esterified fatty acids, which are subsequently used as energy substrates, essential precursors for lipid and membrane synthesis, or mediators in cell signaling processes. Consistent with its central importance in lipid and energy homeostasis, lipolysis occurs in essentially all tissues and cell types, it is most abundant, however, in white and brown adipose tissue. Over the last 5years, important enzymes and regulatory protein factors involved in lipolysis have been identified. These include an essential TAG hydrolase named adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) [annotated as patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein A2], the ATGL activator comparative gene identification-58 [annotated as α/β hydrolase containing protein 5], and the ATGL inhibitor G0/G1 switch gene 2. Together with the established hormone-sensitive lipase [annotated as lipase E] and monoglyceride lipase, these proteins constitute the basic "lipolytic machinery". Additionally, a large number of hormonal signaling pathways and lipid droplet-associated protein factors regulate substrate access and the activity of the "lipolysome". This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the enzymes and regulatory processes governing lipolysis of fat stores in adipose and non-adipose tissues. Special emphasis will be given to ATGL, its regulation, and physiological function.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipid (GSL) fatty acid strictly regulates verotoxin 1 (VT1) and the HIV adhesin, gp120 binding to globotriaosyl ceramide within Gb(3)/cholesterol detergent resistant membrane (DRM) vesicle constructs and in Gb(3) water-air interface monolayers in a similar manner. VT2 bound Gb(3)/cholesterol vesicles irrespective of fatty acid composition, but VT1 bound neither C18 nor C20Gb(3)vesicles. C18/C20Gb(3) were dominant negative in mixed Gb(3) fatty acid isoform vesicles, but including C24:1Gb(3) gave maximal binding. VT1 bound C18Gb(3) vesicles after cholesterol removal, but C20Gb(3)vesicles required sphingomyelin in addition for binding. HIV-1gp120 also bound C16, C22, and C24, but neither C18 nor C20Gb(3) vesicles. C18 and C20Gb(3) were, in mixtures without C24:1Gb(3), dominant negative for gp120 vesicle binding. Gp120/VT1bound C18 and C24:1Gb(3) mixtures, although neither isoform bound alone. Monolayer surface pressure measurement showed VT1, but not VT2, bound Gb(3) at cellular DRM surface pressures, and confirmed loss of VT1 and gp120 (but not VT2) specific C18Gb(3) binding. We conclude fatty-acid mediated fluidity within simple model GSL/cholesterol DRM can selectively regulate GSL carbohydrate-ligand binding.

Abstract
CGI-58 is the causative molecule underlying Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome, a neutral lipid storage disease exhibiting apparent clinical features of ichthyosis. CGI-58, associated with triacylglycerol hydrolysis, has an alpha/beta-hydrolase fold and is also known as the alpha/beta-hydrolase domain-containing protein 5. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the function of CGI-58 and the pathogenic mechanisms of ichthyosis in Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome. Using an anti-CGI-58 antibody, we found CGI-58 to be expressed in the upper epidermis, predominantly in the granular layer cells, as well as in neurons and hepatocytes. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that CGI-58 was also localized to the lamellar granules (LGs), which are lipid transport and secretion granules found in keratinocytes. CGI-58 expression was markedly reduced in the epidermis of patients with harlequin ichthyosis, demonstrating defective LG formation. In cultured keratinocytes, CGI-58 expression was mildly up-regulated under high Ca(2+) conditions and markedly up-regulated in three-dimensional, organotypic cultures. In the developing human epidermis, CGI-58 immunostaining was observed at an estimated gestational age of 49 days, and CGI-58 mRNA expression was up-regulated concomitantly with both epidermal stratification and keratinocyte differentiation. CGI-58 knockdown reduced expression of keratinocyte differentiation/keratinization markers in cultured human keratinocytes. Our results indicate that CGI-58 is expressed and packaged into LGs during keratinization and likely plays crucial role(s) in keratinocyte differentiation and LG lipid metabolism, contributing to skin lipid barrier formation.

Abstract
Comparative Gene Identification-58 (CGI-58) is a member of the alpha/beta-hydrolase family of proteins. Mutations in the human CGI-58 gene are associated with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease in which excessive triglyceride (TG) accumulation occurs in multiple tissues. In this study, we investigated the role of CGI-58 in cellular lipid metabolism in several cell models and discovered a role for CGI-58 in promoting the packaging of cytoplasmic TG into secreted lipoprotein particles in hepatoma cells. Using both gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches, we demonstrate that CGI-58 facilitates the depletion of cellular TG stores without altering cellular cholesterol or phospholipid accumulation. This depletion of cellular TG is attributable solely to augmented hydrolysis, whereas TG synthesis was not affected by CGI-58. Furthermore, CGI-58-mediated TG hydrolysis can be completely inhibited by the known lipase inhibitors diethylumbelliferyl phosphate and diethyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate, but not by p-chloro-mercuribenzoate. Intriguingly, CGI-58-driven TG hydrolysis was coupled to increases in both fatty acid oxidation and secretion of TG. Collectively, this study reveals a role for CGI-58 in coupling lipolytic degradation of cytoplasmic TG to oxidation and packaging into TG-rich lipoproteins for secretion in hepatoma cells.

Abstract
The selective uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester (CE) by the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is well documented. However, the effect of altered HDL composition, such as occurs in hyperlipidemia, on this important process is not known. This study investigated the impact of variable CE and triglyceride (TG) content on selective uptake. CE selective uptake by Y1 and HepG2 cells was strongly affected by modification of either the CE or TG content of HDL. Importantly, TG, like CE, was selectively taken up by a dose-dependent, saturable process in these cells. As shown by ACTH up-regulation and receptor overexpression experiments, SR-BI mediated the selective uptake of both CE and TG. With in vitro modified HDLs of varying CE and TG composition, the selective uptake of CE and TG was dependent on the abundance of each lipid within the HDL particle. Furthermore, total selective uptake (CE + TG) remained constant, indicating that these lipids competed for cellular uptake. These data support a novel mechanism whereby SR-BI binds HDL and mediates the incorporation of a nonspecific portion of the HDL lipid core. In this way, TG directly affects the ability of HDL to donate CE to cells. Processes that raise the TG/CE ratio of HDL will impair the delivery of CE to cells via this receptor and may compromise the efficiency of sterol balancing pathways such as reverse cholesterol transport.

Abstract
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is an energy dense substance which is stored by several body tissues, principally adipose tissue and the liver. Utilisation of stored TAG as an energy source requires its mobilisation from these depots and transfer into the blood plasma. The means by which TAG is mobilised differs in adipose tissue and liver although the regulation of lipid metabolism in each of these organs is interdependent and synchronised in an integrated manner. This review deals principally with the mechanism of hepatic TAG mobilisation since this is a rapidly expanding area of research and may have important implications for the regulation of plasma very-low-density lipoprotein metabolism. TAG mobilisation plays an important role in fuel selection in non-hepatic tissues such as cardiac muscle and pancreatic islets and these aspects are also reviewed briefly. Finally, studies of certain rare inherited disorders of neutral lipid storage and mobilisation may provide useful information about the normal enzymology of TAG mobilisation in healthy tissues.

Abstract
Clones of HepG2 cells were selected that stably express the cDNA for hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). When cells were cultured in the presence of labelled extracellular oleate, accumulation of labelled fatty acid as cellular triacylglycerol (TAG) was significantly lower in the transfectants compared with the wild-type cells. There was no change in the net rate of phospholipid (PL) synthesis. Culture of cells containing isotopically prelabelled TAG resulted in a greater net loss of TAG from the transfected cells than from the wild-type cells. The excess loss of labelled TAG was primarily due to an increased TAG fatty acid oxidation. Free fatty acid release into the medium was not increased in the transfectants, nor was the very low rate of lipoprotein lipid secretion. Also, there was no increased net trafficking of fatty acids from TAG into PLs. Changes in the 3H:14C ratio of TAG prelabelled with [3H]glycerol and [14C]oleate suggested that none of excess TAG fatty acid released in the transfected cells underwent intracellular re-esterification to TAG prior to oxidation. The results suggest that fatty acids mobilized by HSL are directed immediately into the oxidative pathway and are not available for biosynthetic processes. It appears likely, therefore, that intracellular TAG-derived fatty acids which enter the oxidative pathway exist in a different compartment from those that are directed towards synthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wolman's disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. A recent review indicates that approximately 50 patients have been reported in the world. Reports of patients from the Arabian peninsula are rare due to lack of awareness among pediatricians. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, radiological, biochemical and histopathological findings of four Saudi patients diagnosed with Wolman's disease at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre. The diagnosis was confirmed by deficient acid lipase activity in the leukocytes and fibroblasts, which was measured using 4-methylumbelliferyl palmitate. RESULTS All patients were failing to thrive with progressive hepatosplenomegaly. Abdominal x-ray revealed calcifications which were confirmed on abdominal CT scan. Peripheral blood film showed vacuolated lymphocytes and the bone marrow aspiration showed foamy histiocytes. Liver biopsy in one patient showed marked steatosis and elliptical empty clefs predominantly in the Kupffer cells, indicating cholesterol storage in the reticulo-endothelial cells. The acid lipase activity was less than 6% in all patients. CONCLUSION In all suspected cases of Wolman's disease, a plain abdominal x-ray should be obtained to check for the typical pattern of adrenal calcification characteristic of the disease, especially in any young infant with failure to thrive and progressive hepatosplenomegaly.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that toxic doses of mildly oxidized LDL evokes in cultured cells a delayed and sustained rise of cytosolic [Ca2+], eliciting in turn irreversible cell damage and leading finally to cell death. HDL and delipidated apolipoprotein (apo). A prevented effectively the toxic effect of oxidized LDL to bovine aortic endothelial cells, in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The major part of the protective effect was mimicked by purified apoA-I, whereas purified apoA-II exhibited only very low protective activity. The protective effect was independent of the paraoxonase-linked HDL activity. The protective effect of HDL is independent of the contact of HDL with oxidized LDL, as shown by preincubation of oxidized LDL with HDL or apoA. In contrast, the protective effect was dependent on the integrity of apoA and on the contact of HDL with cells, thus suggesting that HDL acts directly on cells by enhancing their resistance against oxidized LDL. Preincubation experiments show that the protective effect is dependent on the duration of the contact of cells with HDL (maximal effect observed after 12 to 16 hours' preincubation), is also dependent on protein synthesis, and is persistent for at least 48 hours after the end of the contact of HDL with cells. Finally, effective concentrations of HDL inhibit the Ca2+ peak, which is directly involved in the cytotoxic effect of oxidized LDL, as shown by the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ chelators. All together, these results suggest that HDL, mainly apoA-I, increases the resistance of endothelial cells against oxidized LDL and prevents its toxic (apoptotic) effect by blocking the pathogenic intracellular signaling (culminating in sustained Ca2+ rise) involved in cell death.

Abstract
Neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which excess triacylglycerol (TG) accumulates in most cells. Although it has been hypothesized that the TG accumulation is caused by a functional defect in cytosolic lipase activity, we were able to expose TG hydrolysis in NLSD cells by using triacsin C, an inhibitor of acyl-CoA synthetase that blocks the reincorporation of hydrolyzed fatty acids into glycerolipids. Our data suggest that TG lipolysis in NLSD cells is masked by rapid TG resynthesis, occurring because released acylglycerols cannot be used for phospholipid synthesis. In uptake studies, triacsin C blocked the incorporation of [3H]glycerol into glycerolipids, incorporation of [14C]oleate into TG, but not incorporation of [14C]oleate into phospholipid. Thus, the drug inhibited both de novo synthesis of glycerolipids via the glycerol-3-phosphate pathway and the synthesis of TG from diacylglycerol. The drug did not appear to block reacylation of lysophospholipids. Triacsin C caused a loss of about 60% of the TG mass from both NLSD and oleate-loaded control cells. Rates of TG lipolysis were similar in NLSD cells and oleate-loaded control cells labeled with [6-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)-amino]hexanoic acid or labeled with [14C]oleate or [3H]glycerol and chased in the presence of triacsin C. During a 96-h chase, [14C]oleate reincorporation into the different phospholipid species increased only in control cells. Similar results were observed when NLSD, and control cells were chased after labeling with [3H]glycerol. These data strongly suggest that normal human fibroblasts mobilize stored TG for phospholipid synthesis and that recycling to PC occurs via a TG-derived mono- or diacylglycerol intermediate. Normal recycling to phosphatidylethanolamine may primarily involve TG-derived acyl groups rather than an acylglycerol precursor. NLSD cells appear to have a block in this recycling pathway with the result that both hydrolyzed fatty acids and the acylglycerol backbone are re-esterified to form TG. Because the NLSD phenotype includes ichthyosis, fatty liver, myopathy, cardiomyopathy, and mental retardation, the recycling pathway appears to be critical for the normal function of skin, liver, muscle, heart, and the central nervous system.

Abstract
Cultured fibroblasts from patients affected with the genetic metabolic disorder named neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) exhibit a dramatic accumulation of cytoplasmic triacylglycerols (Radom, J., Salvayre, R., Nègre, A., Maret, A., and Douste-Blazy, L. (1987) Eur. J. Biochem. 164, 703-708). We compared here the metabolism of radiolabeled short-, medium- and long-chain fatty acids in these cells. Short/medium-chain fatty acids (C4-C10) were incorporated into polar lipids (60-80%) and triacylglycerols (20-40%) at a lower rate (5-10 times lower) than long-chain fatty acids. Pulse-chase experiments allowed to evaluate the degradation rate of cytoplasmic triacylglycerols in normal and NLSD fibroblasts and to discriminate between two catabolic pathways of cytoplasmic triacylglycerols. Short/medium-chain (C4-C10) triacylglycerols were degraded at a normal rate in NLSD fibroblasts, whereas long-chain (C12 and longer) triacylglycerols remained undegraded. These data are confirmed by mass analysis. The use of diethylparanitrophenyl phosphate (E600) and parachloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) inhibitors allows to discriminate between the two triacylglycerol degradation pathways. E600 inhibited selectively the in situ degradation of short/medium-chain triacylglycerols without inhibition of the degradation of long-chain triacylglycerols, whereas PCMB inhibited selectively the in situ hydrolysis of long-chain triacylglycerols without affecting the degradation of long-chain triacylglycerols. This was correlated with the in vitro properties of cellular triacylglycerol-hydrolyzing enzymes characterized by their substrate specificity and their susceptibility to inhibitors; the neutral lipase specific to long-chain triacylglycerols is inhibited by PCMB, but not by E600, in contrast to short/medium-chain lipase, which is inhibited by E600 but not by PCMB. The data of in vitro and in situ experiments suggest the existence in fibroblasts of two separate acyl chain length-dependent pathways involved in the degradation of cytoplasmic triacylglycerols, one mediated by a neutral long-chain lipase and another one mediated by a short/medium-chain lipase.
