Cell cycle regulation of ER membrane biogenesis protects against chromosome missegregation. Dev Cell 2021; 56:3364-3379.e10.

Abstract
Failure to reorganize the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mitosis results in chromosome missegregation. Here, we show that accurate chromosome segregation in human cells requires cell cycle-regulated ER membrane production. Excess ER membranes increase the viscosity of the mitotic cytoplasm to physically restrict chromosome movements, which impedes the correction of mitotic errors leading to the formation of micronuclei. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the protein phosphatase CTDNEP1 counteracts mTOR kinase to establish a dephosphorylated pool of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase lipin 1 in interphase. CTDNEP1 control of lipin 1 limits the synthesis of fatty acids for ER membrane biogenesis in interphase that then protects against chromosome missegregation in mitosis. Thus, regulation of ER size can dictate the biophysical properties of mitotic cells, providing an explanation for why ER reorganization is necessary for mitotic fidelity. Our data further suggest that dysregulated lipid metabolism is a potential source of aneuploidy in cancer cells.

[PMID: 34624465 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2021.103668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Lipids are a critical source of stored energy in insects, and their metabolism is essential for growth, development, and reproduction. Adequate provisioning of lipids and yolk proteins in the oocytes is essential to ensure reproductive output. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the molecular mechanisms linking lipid metabolism and reproduction. Lipin proteins are emerging as pivotal modulators of lipid metabolism. They exert a dual function as phosphatidate phosphatase enzymes involved in lipid synthesis and as transcriptional coactivators of genes related to lipid metabolism. However, the functional relationship between lipid metabolism and reproduction remains unclear. In this study, the role of lipin protein in the reproduction of female cabbage beetle Colaphellus bowringi was examined. It was found that Lipin was broadly expressed in the tissues of adult females, with relatively high transcript levels in the head, midgut, fat body, malpighian tubules, and epidermis. RNA interference experiments were conducted using double-stranded RNA against Lipin in C. bowringi females. Lipin silencing blocked ovarian development and strongly suppressed transcription of vitellogenin and vitellogenin receptor genes. In addition, the reduction in Lipin expression led to a rapid increase in lipid storage in the fat body and also promoted the expression of genes related to lipid synthesis and stress tolerance. Overall, these results suggest that a Lipin-mediated lipolytic system is essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis during reproduction in C. bowringi. The findings of this study provide a foundation for future studies on the relationship between lipid metabolism and reproduction in invertebrates.

Abstract
The conversion of the glycerophospholipid phosphatidic acid (PA) into diacylglycerol (DAG) is essential for the biosynthesis of membrane phospholipids and storage fats. Importantly, both PA and DAG can also serve signaling functions in the cell. The dephosphorylation of PA that yields DAG can be executed by two different classes of enzymes, Mg2+-dependent lipins and Mg2+-independent lipid phosphate phosphatases. Here, I will discuss the current status of research directed at understanding the roles of these enzymes in insect development and metabolism. Special emphasis will be given to studies in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract
Background LPIN1-related acute recurrent rhabdomyolysis (RM), first reported in 2008, is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disease. In recent years, LPIN1 gene variants have been identified as one of the main causes of severe RM in children in Western countries. The disease is extremely rare in China, and we report a case of acute recurrent RM caused by a novel compound heterozygous LPIN1 variant. Case presentation A 15-year-old Chinese boy presented with myalgia after strenuous exercise, accompanied by transient increases in serum creatine kinase and myoglobin and persistent hyperuricaemia and hyperbilirubinaemia. Genetic analysis using high-throughput genomic sequencing and Sanger sequencing revealed that there was a compound heterozygous variant in the LPIN1 gene of the proband: the paternal c.2047A > G(p.I683V) was an unreported missense variant, and the maternal c.2107_2108 insAGG(p.Q703delin sQE) was an unreported in-frame variant. Conclusions In children with RM, LPIN1 variants should always be considered in the differential diagnosis. The clinical features of our case are atypical, which highlights the importance of an accurate diagnosis by genetic testing. If detected early, the condition may be controlled, and the prognosis may be improved.

Abstract
Lipins are eukaryotic proteins with functions in lipid synthesis and the homeostatic control of energy balance. They execute these functions by acting as phosphatidate phosphatase enzymes in the cytoplasm and by changing gene expression after translocation into the cell nucleus, in particular under fasting conditions. Here, we asked whether nuclear translocation and the enzymatic activity of Drosophila Lipin serve essential functions and how gene expression changes, under both fed and fasting conditions, when nuclear translocation is impaired. To address these questions, we created a Lipin null mutant, a mutant expressing Lipin lacking a nuclear localization signal (LipinΔNLS ), and a mutant expressing enzymatically dead Lipin. Our data support the conclusion that the enzymatic but not nuclear gene regulatory activity of Lipin is essential for survival. Notably, adult LipinΔNLS flies were not only viable but also exhibited improved life expectancy. In contrast, they were highly susceptible to starvation. Both the improved life expectancy in the fed state and the decreased survival in the fasting state correlated with changes in metabolic gene expression. Moreover, increased life expectancy of fed flies was associated with a decreased metabolic rate. Interestingly, in addition to metabolic genes, genes involved in feeding behavior and the immune response were misregulated in LipinΔNLS flies. Altogether, our data suggest that the nuclear activity of Lipin influences the genomic response to nutrient availability with effects on life expectancy and starvation resistance. Thus, nutritional or therapeutic approaches that aim at lowering nuclear translocation of lipins in humans may be worth exploring.

Abstract
Lipin1, an intracellular protein, plays critical roles in controlling lipid synthesis and energy metabolism through its enzymatic activity and nuclear transcriptional functions. Several mouse models of skeletal muscle wasting are associated with lipin1 mutation or altered expression. Recent human studies have suggested that children with homozygous null mutations in the LPIN1 gene suffer from rhabdomyolysis. However, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanism is still poorly understood. In the present study we examined whether lipin1 contributes to regulating muscle regeneration. We characterized the time course of skeletal muscle regeneration in lipin1-deficient fld mice after injury. We found that fld mice exhibited smaller regenerated muscle fiber cross-sectional areas compared with wild-type mice in response to injury. Our results from a series of in vitro experiments suggest that lipin1 is up-regulated and translocated to the nucleus during myoblast differentiation and plays a key role in myogenesis by regulating the cytosolic activation of ERK1/2 to form a complex and a downstream effector cyclin D3-mediated cell cycle withdrawal. Overall, our study reveals a previously unknown role of lipin1 in skeletal muscle regeneration and expands our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle regeneration.
