Abstract
Recombinant high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) as anti-atherosclerosis (AS) vehicle has unique advantages including multiple anti-atherogenic functions and homing features to plaques. However, rHDL may be converted into dysfunctional forms due to complex treatment during preparation. Herein, oxidation-induced dysfunction of non-split HDL and rHDL was initially investigated. It was found that although both non-split HDL and rHDL showed oxidative dysfunction behavior, non-split HDL demonstrated superior oxidation defense compared to rHDL due to its intact composition and avoidance of overprocessing such as split and recombination. Unfortunately, in vivo oxidative stress could compromise the functionality of HDL. Therefore, surface engineering of non-split HDL and rHDL with cascade antioxidant enzyme analogues Ebselen and mitochondrial-targeted TPGS-Tempo was conducted to construct a dual-line defense HDL nano system (i.e., T@E-HDLs/rHDL), aiming to restore plaque redox balance and preserving the physiological function of HDL. Results indicated that both T@E-HDLs and rHDLs performed without distinction and exhibited greater resistance to oxidative stress damage as well as better functions than unmodified HDLs in macrophage foam cells. Overall, the modification of dual antioxidants strategy bridges the gap between non-split HDL and rHDL, and provides a promising resolution for the dilemmas of oxidative stress in plaques and HDL self dysfunction.

Abstract
Mitochondrial Ca2+ signaling is a well-appreciated regulator of cell metabolism and energy production. A major function of mitochondria in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is thermogenesis. Assali et al. offer new insights into how the mitochondrial Ca2+ extrusion mediator NCLX is crucial for BAT survival and thermogenesis.

Abstract
Recently, the role of mitochondrial activity in high-energy demand organs and in the orchestration of whole-body metabolism has received renewed attention. In mitochondria, pyruvate oxidation, ensured by efficient mitochondrial pyruvate entry and matrix dehydrogenases activity, generates acetyl CoA that enters the TCA cycle. TCA cycle activity, in turn, provides reducing equivalents and electrons that feed the electron transport chain eventually producing ATP. Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake plays an essential role in the control of aerobic metabolism. Mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation stimulates aerobic metabolism by inducing the activity of three TCA cycle dehydrogenases. In detail, matrix Ca2+ indirectly modulates pyruvate dehydrogenase via pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase 1, and directly activates isocitrate and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenases. Here, we will discuss the contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake to the metabolic homeostasis of organs involved in systemic metabolism, including liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. We will also tackle the role of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in the heart, a high-energy consuming organ whose function strictly depends on appropriate Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
The mitochondrial calcium uniporter has been proposed to coordinate the organelle’s energetics with calcium signaling. Uniporter current has previously been reported to be extremely high in brown adipose tissue (BAT), yet it remains unknown how the uniporter contributes to BAT physiology. Here, we report the generation and characterization of a mouse model lacking Mcu, the pore forming subunit of the uniporter, specifically in BAT (BAT-Mcu-KO). BAT-Mcu-KO mice lack uniporter-based calcium uptake in BAT mitochondria but exhibit unaffected cold tolerance, diet-induced obesity, and transcriptional response to cold in BAT. Unexpectedly, we found in wild-type animals that cold powerfully activates the ATF4-dependent integrated stress response (ISR) in BAT and up-regulates circulating FGF21 and GDF15, raising the hypothesis that the ISR partly underlies the pleiotropic effects of BAT on systemic metabolism. Our study demonstrates that the uniporter is largely dispensable for BAT thermogenesis and demonstrates activation of the ISR in BAT in response to cold. Flicker et al. generate a mouse lacking mitochondrial calcium uniporter activity in brown fat. They show that the uniporter is dispensable for brown fat bioenergetics. Unexpectedly, they find that in wild type animals, cold stress induces ATF4 signaling in normal brown fat, suggesting a mechanism for cold-induced GDF15 and FGF21 elevation.

Abstract
Obesity is tightly associated with the disturbance of white adipose tissue storing excess energy. Thermogenic adipocytes (brown and beige) exert a critical role of oxidizing nutrients at the high rates through non-shivering thermogenesis. The recruitment of brown characteristics in white adipocytes, termed browning, has been considered as a promising strategy for treating obesity and associated metabolic complications. Recently, long noncoding RNAs play a crucial role in regulating tissue development and participating in disease pathogenesis, yet their effects on the conversion of white into brown-like adipocytes and thermogenic function were not totally understood. Here, we identified a mouse brown adipose specific expressed lncRNA, termed GM13133. Moreover, a considerable amount of GM13133 is expressed in adipocytes and actively modulated by cold, β3 -adrenergic agonist and cAMP stimuli, implying a potential role in the conversion from white to brown adipocytes. Overexpression of GM13133 did not affect the proliferation of mouse white pre-adipocytes, but inhibited white adipocyte differentiation by decreasing lipid accumulation. The forced expression of GM13133 also significantly drove the conversion of white into brown-like adipocytes with the enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and the induced expression of brown adipocytes specific markers. A global mRNA analysis further indicated the possible regulatory role of cAMP signaling pathway in GM13133 mediated white-to-brown adipocytes conversion. Our results identified a lncRNA-mediated modulation in primary mouse white adipocyte differentiation and indicate the functional significance of GM13133 in promoting browning of white adipocytes and maintenance of thermogenesis, further providing a potential strategy to treating obesity.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key organelles maintaining cellular bioenergetics and integrity, and their regulation of [Ca2+]i homeostasis has been investigated in many cell types. We investigated the short-term Ca-SANDOZ® treatment on brown adipocyte mitochondria, using imaging and molecular biology techniques. Two-month-old male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: Ca-SANDOZ® drinking or tap water (control) drinking for three days. Alizarin Red S staining showed increased Ca2+ level in the brown adipocytes of treated rats, and potassium pyroantimonate staining localized electron-dense regions in the cytoplasm, mitochondria and around lipid droplets. Ca-SANDOZ® decreased mitochondrial number, but increased their size and mitochondrial cristae volume. Transmission electron microscopy revealed numerous enlarged and fusioned-like mitochondria in the Ca-SANDOZ® treated group compared to the control, and megamitochondria in some brown adipocytes. The Ca2+ diet affected mitochondrial fusion as mitofusin 1 (MFN1) and mitofusin 2 (MFN2) were increased, and mitochondrial fission as dynamin related protein 1 (DRP1) was decreased. Confocal microscopy showed a higher colocalization rate between functional mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The level of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) was elevated, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. These results suggest that Ca-SANDOZ® stimulates mitochondrial fusion, increases mitochondrial-ER contacts and the thermogenic capacity of brown adipocytes.

Abstract
We examined the effects of cAMP, Ca(2+) and ATP on exocytosis and adipokine release in white adipocytes by a combination of membrane capacitance patch-clamp recordings and biochemical measurements of adipokine secretion. 3T3-L1 adipocyte exocytosis proceeded even in the complete absence of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i; buffered with BAPTA) provided cAMP (0.1 mm) was included in the intracellular (pipette-filling) solution. Exocytosis typically plateaued within ∼10 min, probably signifying depletion of a releasable vesicle pool. Inclusion of 3 mm ATP in combination with elevation of [Ca(2+)]i to ≥700 nm augmented the rate of cAMP-evoked exocytosis ∼2-fold and exocytosis proceeded for longer periods (≥20 min) than with cAMP alone. Exocytosis was stimulated to a similar extent upon substitution of cAMP by the Epac (exchange proteins activated by cAMP) agonist 8-Br-2'-O-Me-cAMP (1 mm included in the pipette solution). Inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA) by addition of Rp-cAMPS (0.5 mm) to the cAMP-containing pipette solution was without effect. A combination of the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin (10 μm) and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX (200 μm; forsk-IBMX) augmented adiponectin secretion measured over 30 min 3-fold and 2-fold in 3T3-L1 and human subcutaneous adipocytes, respectively. This effect was unaltered by pre-loading of cells with the Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM and 2-fold amplified upon inclusion of the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin (1 μm) in the extracellular solution. Adiponectin release was also stimulated by the membrane-permeable Epac agonist 8-Br-2'-O-Me-cAMP-AM but unaffected by inclusion of the membrane-permeable PKA inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS (200 μm). The adipokines leptin, resistin and apelin were present in low amounts in the incubation medium (1-6% of measured adiponectin). Adipsin was secreted in substantial quantities (50% of adiponectin concentration) but release of this adipokine was unaffected by forsk-IBMX. We propose that white adipocyte exocytosis is stimulated by cAMP/Epac-dependent but Ca(2+)- and PKA-independent release of vesicles residing in a readily releasable pool and that the release is augmented by a combination of Ca(2+) and ATP. We further suggest that secreted vesicles chiefly contain adiponectin.

Pulses of extracellular K+ produce two cytosolic Ca2+ transients that display different temperature dependence and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl sensitivity in SH-SY5Y cells. Brain Res 2008; 1213:12-26.

Abstract
In SH-SY5Y cells we have shown that stimulation with high extracellular K+ ([K+]e) evokes a transient increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) (K+on) that is triggered by the opening of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and followed by Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (Xu, F., Zhang, J., Recio-Pinto, E. and Blanck, T.J., Halothane and isoflurane augment depolarization-induced cytosolic CA2+ transients and attenuate carbachol-stimulated CA2+ transients, Anesthesiology, 92 (2000) 1746-56). The removal of high-[K+]e results in a second transient increase in [Ca2+]cyt (K+off) that is independent of extracellular Ca2+ (Corrales, A., Montoya, G.J., Sutachan, J.J., Cornillez-Ty, G., Garavito-Aguilar, Z., Xu, F., Blanck, T.J. and Recio-Pinto, E., Transient increases in extracellular K+ produce two pharmacological distinct cytosolic Ca2+ transients, Brain Res., 1031 (2005) 174-184). In this study we further characterize the properties of K+off. We found that K+off was detectable at near physiological temperatures (34-36 degrees C) but, depending on the level of [K+]e, it was undetectable or highly diminished at room temperature. In contrast, K+on was increased by lowering the temperature. Extracellular Na+ -replacement with K+ did not affect K+off, indicating that K+off was not generated by osmolarity changes. Replacement of extracellular Na+ with choline+ did not affect K+off, indicating that K+off did not result from activity changes of the plasma membrane Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Caffeine decreased K+on but not K+off. CCCP (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl), a protonophore uncoupler that decreases mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, decreased K+on but not K+off. CGP37157, an inhibitor of the mitochondria Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, decreased K+off when added alone but not when added simultaneously with CCCP. Clonazepam had similar effects as CGP37157. These findings indicate that the generation of K+off is strongly temperature-dependent and its pharmacology is distinct from the [Ca2+]cyt changes observed previously at room temperature.
