Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) constitutes a superfamily of enzymes that hydrolyze phospholipids at their sn-2 fatty acyl position. Our laboratory has demonstrated that PLA2 enzymes regulate membrane remodeling and cell signaling by their specificity toward their phospholipid substrates at the molecular level. Recent in vitro studies show that each type of PLA2, including Group IVA cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), Group V secreted PLA2 (sPLA2), Group VIA calcium independent PLA2 (iPLA2) and Group VIIA lipoprotein-associated PLA2, also known as platelet-activating factor acetyl hydrolase, can discriminate exquisitely between fatty acids at the sn-2 position. Thus, these enzymes regulate the production of diverse PUFA precursors of inflammatory metabolites. We now determined PLA2 specificity in macrophage cells grown in cell culture, where the amounts and localization of the phospholipid substrates play a role in which specific phospholipids are hydrolyzed by each enzyme type. We used PLA2 stereospecific inhibitors in tandem with a novel UPLC-MS/MS-based lipidomics platform to quantify more than a thousand unique phospholipid molecular species demonstrating cPLA2, sPLA2, and iPLA2 activity and specificity toward the phospholipids in living cells. The observed specificity follows the in vitro capability of the enzymes and can reflect the enrichment of certain phospholipid species in specific membrane locations where particular PLA2's associate. For assaying, we target 20:4-PI for cPLA2, 22:6-PG for sPLA2, and 18:2-PC for iPLA2. These new results provide great insight into the physiological role of PLA2 enzymes in cell membrane remodeling and could shed light on how PLA2 enzymes underpin inflammation and other lipid-related diseases.

Abstract
Macrophages (MAs), which play vital roles in human immune responses and lipid metabolisms, are implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Specifically, the abnormal lipid metabolism of oxidized low-density lipids (oxLDLs) in MAs is believed to be a crucial factor. However, the precise mechanism by which the MA membrane contributes to this altered lipid metabolism remains unclear. Lipidomic studies have revealed significant differences in membrane composition between various MA phenotypes. This study serves to provide and characterize complex realistic computational models for naïve (M0) and Kdo2-lipid A-activated (M1) state MA. Analyses of surface area per lipid (SA/lip), area compressibility modulus (KA), carbon‑hydrogen order parameter (SCH), electron density profile (EDP), tilt angles, two-dimension radial distribution functions (2D RDFs), mean squared displacement (MSD), hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), lipid clustering, and lipid wobble were conducted for both models. Results indicate that the M1 state MA membrane is more tightly packed, with increased chain order across lipid species, and forms PSM-DOPG-CHOL and PSM-SLPC-CHOL clusters. Importantly, the bilayer thicknesses reported for the models are in good agreement with experimental data for the thicknesses of transmembrane regions for MA integral proteins. These findings validate the described models as physiologically accurate for future computational studies of MA membranes and their residing proteins.

Abstract
Lipid distribution in the eukaryotic cells depends on tight couplings between lipid transfer and lipid metabolism. Yet these couplings remain poorly described. Notably, it is unclear to what extent lipid exchangers of the OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) family, coupled to PI(4)P metabolism, contribute to the formation of sterol and phosphatidylserine gradient between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other cell regions. To address this question, we have examined in vitro the activity of Osh4p, a representative ORP, between Golgi mimetic membranes in which PI(4)P is produced by a PI 4-kinase and ER mimetic membranes in which PI(4)P is hydrolyzed by the phosphatase Sac1p. Using quantitative, real-time assays, we demonstrate that Osh4p creates a sterol gradient between the two membranes by sterol/PI(4)P exchange as soon as a PI(4)P gradient is generated at this interface following ATP addition, and define how much PI(4)P must be synthesized for this process. Then, using a kinetic model supported by our in vitro data, we estimate to what extent PI(4)P metabolism can drive lipid transfer in cells. Finally, we show that Sec14p, by transferring phosphatidylinositol between membranes, can support the synthesis of PI(4)P and the creation of a sterol gradient by Osh4p. These results indicate to what extent ORPs, under the control of PI(4)P metabolism, can distribute lipids in the cell.

Abstract
Lipids in cell membranes and subcellular compartments play essential roles in numerous cellular processes, such as energy production, cell signaling and inflammation. A specific organelle lipidome is characterized by lipid synthesis and metabolism, intracellular trafficking, and lipid homeostasis in the organelle. Over the years, considerable effort has been directed to the identification of the lipid fingerprints of cellular organelles. However, these fingerprints are not fully characterized due to the large variety and structural complexity of lipids and the great variability in the abundance of different lipid species. The process becomes even more challenging when considering that the lipidome differs in health and disease contexts. This review summarizes the information available on the lipid composition of mammalian cell organelles, particularly the lipidome of the nucleus, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane and organelles in the endocytic pathway. The lipid compositions of extracellular vesicles and lamellar bodies are also described. In addition, several examples of subcellular lipidome dynamics under physiological and pathological conditions are presented. Finally, challenges in mapping organelle lipidomes are discussed.

Abstract
In-depth structural characterization of lipids provides a new means to investigate lipid metabolism. In this study, we have conducted deep profiling of total fatty acids (FAs) from RAW 264.7 macrophages by utilizing charge-tagging Paternò-Büchi derivatization of carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A series of FAs exhibiting unusual site(s) of unsaturation was unearthed, with their identities being confirmed by observing anticipated compositional alterations upon desaturase inhibition. The data reveal that FADS2 Δ 6-desaturation can generate n-11 C=C in the odd-chain monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) as well as n-10 and n-12 families of even-chain MUFAs. SCD1 Δ 9-desaturation yields n-6, n-8, and n-10 of odd-chain MUFAs, as well as n-5, n-7, and n-9 families of even-chain MUFAs. Besides n-3 and n-6 families of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the presence of n-7 and n-9 families of PUFAs indicates that the n-7 and n-9 isomers of FA 18:1 can be utilized as substrates for further desaturation and elongation. The n-7 and n-9 families of PUFAs identified in RAW 264.7 macrophages are noteworthy because their C=C modifications are achieved exclusively via de novo lipogenesis. Our discovery outlines the metabolic plasticity in fatty acid desaturation which constitutes an unexplored rewiring in RAW264.7 macrophages.

Abstract
Mutations in ASAH1 have been linked to two allegedly distinct disorders: Farber disease (FD) and spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA-PME). We have previously reported FD-like phenotypes in mice harboring a single amino acid substitution in acid ceramidase (ACDase), P361R, known to be pathogenic in humans (P361R-Farber). Here we describe a mouse model with an SMA-PME-like phenotype (P361R-SMA). P361R-SMA mice live 2-3-times longer than P361R-Farber mice and have different phenotypes including progressive ataxia and bladder dysfunction, which suggests neurological dysfunction. We found profound demyelination, loss of axons, and altered sphingolipid levels in P361R-SMA spinal cords; severe pathology was restricted to the white matter. Our model can serve as a tool to study the pathological effects of ACDase deficiency on the central nervous system and to evaluate potential therapies for SMA-PME.

Abstract
Until now, membrane-protein stabilization has relied on iterations of mutations and screening. We now validate a one-step algorithm, mPROSS, for stabilizing membrane proteins directly from an AlphaFold2 model structure. Applied to the lipid-generating enzyme, ceramide synthase, 37 designed mutations lead to a more stable form of human CerS2. Together with molecular dynamics simulations, we propose a pathway by which substrates might be delivered to the ceramide synthases.

Abstract
Almost all the cholesterol in cellular membranes is associated with phospholipids in simple stoichiometric complexes. This limits the binding of sterol ligands such as filipin and Perfringolysin O (PFO) to a small fraction of the total. We offer a simple mathematical model that characterizes this complexity. It posits that the cholesterol accessible to ligands has two forms: active cholesterol, which is that not complexed with phospholipids; and extractable cholesterol, that which ligands can capture competitively from the phospholipid complexes. Simulations based on the model match published data for the association of PFO oligomers with liposomes, plasma membranes and the isolated endoplasmic reticulum. The model shows how the binding of a probe greatly underestimates cholesterol abundance when its affinity for the sterol is so weak that it competes poorly with the membrane phospholipids. Two examples are the under-staining of plasma membranes by filipin and the failure of domain D4 of PFO to label their cytoplasmic leaflets. Conversely, the exaggerated staining of endolysosomes suggests that their cholesterol, being uncomplexed, is readily available. The model is also applicable to the association of cholesterol with intrinsic membrane proteins. For example, it supports the hypothesis that the sharp threshold in the regulation of homeostatic ER proteins by cholesterol derives from the cooperativity of their binding to the sterol weakly held by the phospholipid. § Thus, the model explicates the complexity inherent in the binding of ligands like PFO and filipin to the small accessible fraction of membrane cholesterol.

Zymosan-Induced Murine Peritonitis Is Associated with an Increased Sphingolipid Synthesis without Changing the Long to Very Long Chain Ceramide Ratio. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032773.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are key molecules in inflammation and defense against pathogens. Their role in dectin-1/TLR2-mediated responses is, however, poorly understood. This study investigated the sphingolipidome in the peritoneal fluid, peritoneal cells, plasma, and spleens of mice after intraperitoneal injection of 0.1 mg zymosan/mouse or PBS as a control. Samples were collected at 2, 4, 8, and 16 h post-injection, using a total of 36 mice. Flow cytometry analysis of peritoneal cells and measurement of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels in the peritoneal lavages confirmed zymosan-induced peritonitis. The concentrations of sphingoid bases, dihydroceramides, ceramides, dihydrosphingomyelins, sphingomyelins, monohexosylceramides, and lactosylceramides were increased after zymosan administration, and the effects varied with the time and the matrix measured. The greatest changes occurred in peritoneal cells, followed by peritoneal fluid, at 8 h and 4 h post-injection, respectively. Analysis of the sphingolipidome suggests that zymosan increased the de novo synthesis of sphingolipids without change in the C14-C18:C20-C26 ceramide ratio. At 16 h post-injection, glycosylceramides remained higher in treated than in control mice. A minor effect of zymosan was observed in plasma, whereas sphinganine, dihydrosphingomyelins, and monohexosylceramides were significantly increased in the spleen 16 h post-injection. The consequences of the observed changes in the sphingolipidome remain to be established.

Compartmentalized regulation of lipid signaling in oxidative stress and inflammation: Plasmalogens, oxidized lipids and ferroptosis as new paradigms of bioactive lipid research.

Abstract
Perturbations in lipid homeostasis combined with conditions favoring oxidative stress constitute a hallmark of the inflammatory response. In this review we focus on the most recent results concerning lipid signaling in various oxidative stress-mediated responses and inflammation. These include phagocytosis and ferroptosis. The best characterized event, common to these responses, is the synthesis of oxygenated metabolites of arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids. Major developments in this area have highlighted the importance of compartmentalization of the enzymes and lipid substrates in shaping the appropriate response. In parallel, other relevant lipid metabolic pathways are also activated and, until recently, there has been a general lack of knowledge on the enzyme regulation and molecular mechanisms operating in these pathways. Specifically, data accumulated in recent years on the regulation and biological significance of plasmalogens and oxidized phospholipids have expanded our knowledge on the involvement of lipid metabolism in the progression of disease and the return to homeostasis. These recent major developments have helped to establish the concept of membrane phospholipids as cellular repositories for the compartmentalized production of bioactive lipids involved in cellular regulation. Importantly, an enzyme classically described as being involved in regulating the homeostatic turnover of phospholipids, namely the group VIA Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β), has taken center stage in oxidative stress and inflammation research owing to its key involvement in regulating metabolic and ferroptotic signals arising from membrane phospholipids. Understanding the role of iPLA2β in ferroptosis and metabolism not only broadens our knowledge of disease but also opens possible new horizons for this enzyme as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that cellular metabolism is tightly linked to the regulation of immune cells. Here, we show that activation of cholesterol metabolism, involving cholesterol uptake, synthesis, and autophagy/lipophagy, is integral to innate immune responses in macrophages. In particular, cholesterol accumulation within endosomes and lysosomes is a hallmark of the cellular cholesterol dynamics elicited by Toll-like receptor 4 activation and is required for amplification of myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (Myd88) signaling. Mechanistically, Myd88 binds cholesterol via its CLR recognition/interaction amino acid consensus domain, which promotes the protein's self-oligomerization. Moreover, a novel supramolecular compound, polyrotaxane (PRX), inhibited Myd88‑dependent inflammatory macrophage activation by decreasing endolysosomal cholesterol via promotion of cholesterol trafficking and efflux. PRX activated liver X receptor, which led to upregulation of ATP binding cassette transporter A1, thereby promoting cholesterol efflux. PRX also inhibited atherogenesis in Ldlr-/- mice. In humans, cholesterol levels in circulating monocytes correlated positively with the severity of atherosclerosis. These findings demonstrate that dynamic changes in cholesterol metabolism are mechanistically linked to Myd88‑dependent inflammatory programs in macrophages and support the notion that cellular cholesterol metabolism is integral to innate activation of macrophages and is a potential therapeutic and diagnostic target for inflammatory diseases.

Creating and sensing asymmetric lipid distributions throughout the cell. Emerg Top Life Sci 2022; 7:7-19. [PMID: 36373850 DOI: 10.1042/etls20220028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A key feature of eukaryotic cells is the asymmetric distribution of lipids along their secretory pathway. Because of the biological significance of these asymmetries, it is crucial to define the mechanisms which create them. Extensive studies have led to the identification of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) that work with lipid-synthesizing enzymes to carry lipids between two distinct membranes in a directional manner, and are thus able to create asymmetries in lipid distribution throughout the cell. These networks are often in contact sites where two organelle membranes are in close proximity for reasons we have only recently started to understand. A question is whether these networks transfer lipids en masse within the cells or adjust the lipid composition of organelle membranes. Finally, recent data have confirmed that some networks organized around LTPs do not generate lipid asymmetries between membranes but sense them and rectify the lipid content of the cell.

Abstract
When the external conditions change, such as the temperature or the pressure, the multi-component system sometimes separates into several phases with different components and structures, which is called phase separation. Increasing studies have shown that cells condense related biomolecules into independent compartments in order to carry out orderly and efficient biological reactions with the help of phase separation. Biomolecular condensates formed by phase separation play a significant role in a variety of cellular processes, including the control of signal transduction, the regulation of gene expression, and the stress response. In recent years, many phase separation events have been discovered in the immune response process. In this review, we provided a comprehensive and detailed overview of the role and mechanism of phase separation in the innate and adaptive immune responses, which will help the readers to appreciate the advance and importance of this field.

Abstract
My laboratory's research on lipids has focused on phospholipases and lipidomics and in many ways has evolved in parallel to the evolution of the lipid field over the past half century. I have reviewed our research elsewhere. Herein, I describe the "side stories" or "outtakes" that parallel the main story that focuses on our laboratory's research. I will emphasize the importance of community activities and describe how I came to initiate and lead the international effort on the Lipid Metabolites and Pathways Strategy (LIPID MAPS). Several of these side activities had a significant effect on discoveries in my laboratory research and its evolution as well as contributing significantly to the development of the LIPID MAPS initiative. These included experience and influences from serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Lipid Research and Chair and President of the Keystone Symposia on Cell and Molecular Biology as well as other experiences in organizing lipid conferences, teaching on lipid structure and mechanism, and earlier formative administrative and leadership experiences. The relevant influences are summarized herein.

Abstract
An effective anti-cancer therapy should exclusively target cancer cells and trigger in them a broad spectrum of cell death pathways that will prevent avoidance. Here, we present a new approach in cancer therapy that specifically targets the mitochondria and ER of cancer cells. We developed a peptide derived from the flexible and transmembrane domains of the human protein NAF-1/CISD2. This peptide (NAF-144-67) specifically permeates through the plasma membranes of human epithelial breast cancer cells, abolishes their mitochondria and ER, and triggers cell death with characteristics of apoptosis, ferroptosis and necroptosis. In vivo analysis revealed that the peptide significantly decreases tumor growth in mice carrying xenograft human tumors. Computational simulations of cancer vs. normal cell membranes reveal that the specificity of the peptide to cancer cells is due to its selective recognition of their membrane composition. NAF-144-67 represents a promising anti-cancer lead compound that acts via a unique mechanism.

Abstract
Macrophages have diverse functions in the pathogenesis, resolution, and repair of inflammatory processes. Elegant studies have elucidated the metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles of activated macrophages. However, the versatility of macrophage responses in inflammation is likely due, at least in part, to their ability to rearrange their repertoire of bioactive lipids, including fatty acids and oxylipins. This review will describe the fatty acids and oxylipins generated by macrophages and their role in type 1 and type 2 immune responses. We will highlight lipidomic studies that have shaped the current understanding of the role of lipids in macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is one type of phospholipid comprising an inositol head group and two fatty acid chains covalently linked to the diacylglycerol group. In addition to their roles as compositions of cell membranes, phosphorylated PtdIns derivatives, termed phosphoinositides, execute a wide range of regulatory functions. PtdIns can be phosphorylated by various lipid kinases at 3-, 4- and/or 5- hydroxyls of the inositol ring, and the phosphorylated forms, including PtdIns3P, PtdIns4P, PtdIns5P, PtdIns(3,5)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2, can be reversibly dephosphorylated by distinct lipid phosphatases. Amongst many other types, the SUPPRESSOR OF ACTIN (SAC) family of phosphoinositide phosphatases recently emerged as important regulators in multiple growth and developmental processes in plants. Here, we review recent advances on the biological functions, cellular activities, and molecular mechanisms of SAC domain-containing phosphoinositide phosphatases in plants. With a focus on those studies in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana together with progresses in other plants, we highlight the important roles of subcellular localizations and substrate preferences of various SAC isoforms in their functions.

Abstract
Background Lipid species are accurately distributed in the eukaryotic cell so that organelle and plasma membranes have an adequate lipid composition to support numerous cellular functions. In the plasma membrane, a precise regulation of the level of lipids such as phosphatidylserine, PI(4)P, and PI(4,5)P2, is critical for maintaining the signaling competence of the cell. Several lipid transfer proteins of the ORP/Osh family contribute to this fine-tuning by delivering PS, synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, to the plasma membrane in exchange for PI(4)P. To get insights into the role of these PS/PI(4)P exchangers in regulating plasma membrane features, we question how they selectively recognize and transfer lipid ligands with different acyl chains, whether these proteins exchange PS exclusively for PI(4)P or additionally for PI(4,5)P2, and how sterol abundance in the plasma membrane impacts their activity. Results We measured in vitro how the yeast Osh6p and human ORP8 transported PS and PI(4)P subspecies of diverse length and unsaturation degree between membranes by fluorescence-based assays. We established that the exchange activity of Osh6p and ORP8 strongly depends on whether these ligands are saturated or not, and is high with representative cellular PS and PI(4)P subspecies. Unexpectedly, we found that the speed at which these proteins individually transfer lipid ligands between membranes is inversely related to their affinity for them and that high-affinity ligands must be exchanged to be transferred more rapidly. Next we determined that Osh6p and ORP8 cannot use PI(4,5)P2 for exchange processes, because it is a low-affinity ligand, and do not transfer more PS into sterol-rich membranes. Conclusions Our study provides new insights into PS/PI(4)P exchangers by indicating the degree to which they can regulate the acyl chain composition of the PM, and how they control PM phosphoinositide levels. Moreover, we establish general rules on how the activity of lipid transfer proteins relates to their affinity for ligands.

Abstract
Exposure to Gram-negative bacterial LPS exacerbates host immune responses and may lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition. Despite its high mortality and morbidity, no drugs specifically directed to treating sepsis are currently available. Using human cell genetic depletion, pharmacological inhibition, live-cell microscopy and organelle-targeted molecular sensors we present evidence that the channel TRPC3 is activated intracellularly during macrophage exposure to LPS and is essential for Ca2+ release from internal stores. In this manner, TRPC3 participates in cytosolic Ca2+ elevations, activation of the transcription factor NF-κB and cytokine upregulation. We also report that TRPC3 is activated by diacylglycerol generated by the phosphatidic acid phosphatase lipin-1. In accord with this, lipin-1-deficient cells exhibit reduced Ca2+ responses to LPS challenge. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of TRPC3 reduces systemic inflammation induced by LPS in mice. Collectively, our study unveils a central component of LPS-triggered Ca2+ signaling that involves intracellular sensing of lipin-1-derived DAG by TRPC3, and opens new opportunities for the development of strategies to treat LPS-driven inflammation.

Abstract
Differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) is highly useful for shotgun lipidomic analysis because it overcomes difficulties in measuring isobaric species within a complex lipid sample and allows for acyl tail characterization of phospholipid species. Despite these advantages, the resulting workflow presents technical challenges, including the need to tune the DMS before every batch to update compensative voltages settings within the method. The Sciex Lipidyzer platform uses a Sciex 5500 QTRAP with a DMS (SelexION), an LC system configured for direction infusion experiments, an extensive set of standards designed for quantitative lipidomics, and a software package (Lipidyzer Workflow Manager) that facilitates the workflow and rapidly analyzes the data. Although the Lipidyzer platform remains very useful for DMS-based shotgun lipidomics, the software is no longer updated for current versions of Analyst and Windows. Furthermore, the software is fixed to a single workflow and cannot take advantage of new lipidomics standards or analyze additional lipid species. To address this multitude of issues, we developed Shotgun Lipidomics Assistant (SLA), a Python-based application that facilitates DMS-based lipidomics workflows. SLA provides the user with flexibility in adding and subtracting lipid and standard MRMs. It can report quantitative lipidomics results from raw data in minutes, comparable to the Lipidyzer software. We show that SLA facilitates an expanded lipidomics analysis that measures over 1450 lipid species across 17 (sub)classes. Lastly, we demonstrate that the SLA performs isotope correction, a feature that was absent from the original software.

Abstract
Inflammation is the body’s defense reaction in response to stimulations and is the basis of various physiological and pathological processes. However, chronic inflammation is undesirable and closely related to the occurrence and development of diseases. The ocean gives birth to unique and diverse bioactive substances, which have gained special attention and been a focus for anti-inflammatory drug development. So far, numerous promising bioactive substances have been obtained from various marine organisms such as marine bacteria and fungi, sponges, algae, and coral. This review covers 71 bioactive substances described during 2015–2020, including the structures (65 of which), species sources, evaluation models and anti-inflammatory activities of these substances. This review aims to provide some reference for the research progress of marine-organism-derived anti-inflammatory metabolites and give more research impetus for their conversion to novel anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Cells manage their cholesterol by negative feedback using a battery of sterol-responsive proteins. How these activities are coordinated so as to specify the abundance and distribution of the sterol is unclear. We present a simple mathematical model that addresses this question. It assumes that almost all of the cholesterol is associated with phospholipids in stoichiometric complexes. A small fraction of the sterol is uncomplexed and thermodynamically active. It equilibrates among the organelles, setting their sterol level according to the affinity of their phospholipids. The activity of the homeostatic proteins in the cytoplasmic membranes is then set by their fractional saturation with uncomplexed cholesterol in competition with the phospholipids. The high-affinity phospholipids in the plasma membrane (PM) are filled to near stoichiometric equivalence, giving it most of the cell sterol. Notably, the affinity of the phospholipids in the endomembranes (EMs) is lower by orders of magnitude than that of the phospholipids in the PM. Thus, the small amount of sterol in the EMs rests far below stoichiometric capacity. Simulations match a variety of experimental data. The model captures the essence of cell cholesterol homeostasis, makes coherent a diverse set of experimental findings, provides a surprising prediction and suggests new experiments.

Abstract
Macrophage activation in response to stimulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) provides a paradigm for investigating energy metabolism that regulates the inflammatory response. TLR4-mediated pro-inflammatory macrophage activation is characterized by increased glycolysis and altered mitochondrial metabolism, supported by selective amino acid uptake and/or usage. Fatty acid metabolism remains as a highly complex rewiring that accompanies classical macrophage activation. TLR4 activation leads to de novo synthesis of fatty acids, which flux into sphingolipids, complex lipids that form the building blocks of eukaryotic cell membranes and regulate cell function. Here, we review the importance of TLR4-mediated de novo synthesis of membrane sphingolipids in macrophages. We first highlight fatty acid metabolism during TLR4-driven macrophage immunometabolism. We then focus on the temporal dynamics of sphingolipid biosynthesis and emphasize the modulatory role of some sphingolipid species (i.e. sphingomyelins, ceramides and glycosphingolipids) on the pro-inflammatory and pro-resolution phases of LPS/TLR4 activation in macrophages.

Abstract
With the continuing rise of lipidomic studies, there is an urgent need for a useful and comprehensive tool to facilitate lipidomic data analysis. The most important features making lipids different from general metabolites are their various characteristics, including their lipid classes, double bonds, chain lengths, etc. Based on these characteristics, lipid species can be classified into different categories and, more interestingly, exert specific biological functions in a group. In an effort to simplify lipidomic analysis workflows and enhance the exploration of lipid characteristics, we have developed a highly flexible and user-friendly web server called LipidSig. It consists of five sections, namely, Profiling, Differential Expression, Correlation, Network and Machine Learning, and evaluates lipid effects on cellular or disease phenotypes. One of the specialties of LipidSig is the conversion between lipid species and characteristics according to a user-defined characteristics table. This function allows for efficient data mining for both individual lipids and subgroups of characteristics. To expand the server's practical utility, we also provide analyses focusing on fatty acid properties and multiple characteristics. In summary, LipidSig is expected to help users identify significant lipid-related features and to advance the field of lipid biology. The LipidSig webserver is freely available at http://chenglab.cmu.edu.tw/lipidsig

Abstract
Lipids are highly diverse and essential biomolecules in all living systems. As lipid homeostasis is often perturbed in metabolic diseases, these molecules can serve as both biomarkers and drug targets. The development of modern mass spectrometry (MS) provided the platform for large-scale lipidomic studies at the level of molecular species. Traditionally, more detailed structural information, such as the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C location, was mostly assumed instead of properly measured, though the specific isomers were indicated as potential biomarkers of cancers or cardiovascular diseases. Recent C[double bond, length as m-dash]C localization methods, including the Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction, have shown the prevalent and heterogeneous distribution of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C location in lipids across tissues. Mapping the lipidome of model animals at the level of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C position would increase the understanding of the metabolism and function of lipid isomers, facilitating clinical research. In this study, we employed an online PB reaction on a liquid chromatography-high resolution MS platform to map C[double bond, length as m-dash]C location isomers in five different murine tissues. We analyzed phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, and sphingomyelins; we relatively quantified and mapped the distribution of ∼30 groups of co-existing isomers, characterized by different chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation. More specifically, we performed relative quantitation of four isomers of the C16:1 fatty acyl, which included rarely reported n-10 and n-5 species besides n-9 and n-7 isomers. We showed a small variation of the isomers' relative composition among individual animals (<20%) but significant differences across different lipid species and mouse tissues. Our results provided an initial database to map alternative lipid metabolic pathways at the tissue level.

Abstract
Cellular membranes are composed of a wide diversity of lipid species in varying proportions and these compositions are representative of the organism, cellular type and organelle to which they belong. Because models of these molecular systems simulated by MD steadily gain in size and complexity, they are increasingly representative of specific compositions and behaviors of biological membranes. Due to the number of lipid species involved, of force fields and topologies and because of the complexity of membrane objects that have been simulated, LIMONADA has been developed as an open database allowing to handle the various aspects of lipid membrane simulation. LIMONADA presents published membrane patches with their simulation files and the cellular membrane it models. Their compositions are then detailed based on the lipid identification from LIPID MAPS database plus the lipid topologies and the force field used. LIMONADA is freely accessible on the web at https://limonada.univ-reims.fr/.

Dynamic Remodeling of Membranes and Their Lipids during Acute Hormone-Induced Steroidogenesis in MA-10 Mouse Leydig Tumor Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052554.

Abstract
Lipids play essential roles in numerous cellular processes, including membrane remodeling, signal transduction, the modulation of hormone activity, and steroidogenesis. We chose steroidogenic MA-10 mouse tumor Leydig cells to investigate subcellular lipid localization during steroidogenesis. Electron microscopy showed that cAMP stimulation increased associations between the plasma membrane (PM) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and between the ER and mitochondria. cAMP stimulation also increased the movement of cholesterol from the PM compared to untreated cells, which was partially inhibited when ATPase family AAA-domain containing protein 3 A (ATAD3A), which functions in ER and mitochondria interactions, was knocked down. Mitochondria, ER, cytoplasm, PM, PM-associated membranes (PAMs), and mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) were isolated from control and hormone-stimulated cells. Lipidomic analyses revealed that each isolated compartment had a unique lipid composition, and the induction of steroidogenesis caused the significant remodeling of its lipidome. cAMP-induced changes in lipid composition included an increase in phosphatidylserine and cardiolipin levels in PAM and PM compartments, respectively; an increase in phosphatidylinositol in the ER, mitochondria, and MAMs; and a reorganization of phosphatidic acid, cholesterol ester, ceramide, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Abundant lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, were not affected by hormone treatment. Our data suggested that PM–ER–mitochondria tethering may be involved in lipid trafficking between organelles and indicated that hormone-induced acute steroid production involves extensive organelle remodeling.

Abstract
Cell membranes are now emerging as finely tuned molecular systems, signifying that re-evaluation of our understanding of their structure is essential. Although the idea that cell membrane lipid bilayers do little more than give shape and form to cells and limit diffusion between cells and their environment is totally passé, the structural, compositional, and functional complexity of lipid bilayers often catches cell and molecular biologists by surprise. Models of lipid bilayer structure have developed considerably since the heyday of the fluid mosaic model, principally by the discovery of the restricted diffusion of membrane proteins and lipids within the plane of the bilayer. In reviewing this field, we now suggest that further refinement of current models is necessary and propose that describing lipid bilayers as "finely-tuned molecular assemblies" best portrays their complexity and function.

Abstract
Scientific Background: Sphingolipids are a highly diverse group of lipids with respect to physicochemical properties controlling either structure, distribution, or function, all of them regulating cellular response in health and disease. Mass spectrometry, on the other hand, is an analytical technique characterizing ionized molecules or fragments thereof by mass-to-charge ratios, which has been prosperingly developed for rapid and reliable qualitative and quantitative identification of lipid species. Parallel to best performance of in-depth chromatographical separation of lipid classes, preconditions of precise quantitation of unique molecular species by preprocessing of biological samples have to be fulfilled. As a consequence, “lipid profiles” across model systems and human individuals, esp. complex (clinical) samples, have become eminent over the last couple of years due to sensitivity, specificity, and discriminatory capability. Therefore, it is significance to consider the entire experimental strategy from sample collection and preparation, data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation. Areas Covered: In this review, we outline considerations with clinical (i.e., human) samples with special emphasis on sample handling, specific physicochemical properties, target measurements, and resulting profiling of sphingolipids in biomedicine and translational research to maximize sensitivity and specificity as well as to provide robust and reproducible results. A brief commentary is also provided regarding new insights of “clinical sphingolipidomics” in translational sepsis research. Expert Opinion: The role of mass spectrometry of sphingolipids and related species (“sphingolipidomics”) to investigate cellular and compartment-specific response to stress, e.g., in generalized infection and sepsis, is on the rise and the ability to integrate multiple datasets from diverse classes of biomolecules by mass spectrometry measurements and metabolomics will be crucial to fostering our understanding of human health as well as response to disease and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is the main feature of several diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). The involvement of oxysterols derivates has been recently reported. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the implication of oxidative stress in cholesterol impairment in AD patients. METHODS A case-control study was conducted on 56 AD patients and 97 controls. Levels of oxidative biomarkers, including lipid peroxidation products and antioxidant enzyme activities were measured with spectrophotometric methods on red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma. Cholesterol precursors and oxysterols (7-Ketocholeterol (7KC), 7α-hydroxycholesterol (7α-OHC), 7β-hydroxycholesterol (7β-OHC), 24Shydroxycholesterol (24S-OH), 25-hyroxycholesterol (25-OHC), and 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC), in plasma were quantified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. RESULTS In RBCs and plasma of AD patients, a significant decrease of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was detected associated with raised levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). A decreased level of lanosterol and an accumulation of 7β-OHC, 24S-OHC, 27-OHC, and 25-OHC that were higher in plasma of AD patients, compared to controls, were also observed in AD patients. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was correlated with MDA and conjugated dienes (CD) levels in plasma. Besides, the MDA level in RBCs was correlated with 7β-OHC. Binary logistic regression revealed an association between GPx activity and AD (OR=0.895, 95%CI: 0.848-0.945. P<0.001). CONCLUSION Our data consolidate the relationship between the rupture of redox homeostasis and lipid and cholesterol oxidation in AD.

Abstract
Respiratory diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis, silicosis, and allergic pneumonia, can be caused by long-term exposure to dental prosthesis grinding dust. The extent of the toxicity and pathogenicity of exposure to PMMA dust, Vitallium dust, and dentin porcelain dust differs. The dust from grinding dental prosthesis made of these three materials was characterized in terms of morphology, particle size, and elemental composition. The adverse effects of different concentrations of grinding dust (50, 150, 300, 450, and 600 μg ml-l) on RAW264.7 macrophages were evaluated, including changes in cell morphology and the production of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The dust particles released by grinding dental prosthesis made of these materials had different morphologies, particle sizes, and elemental compositions. They also induced varying degrees of cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 macrophages. A possible cytotoxicity mechanism is the induction of lipid peroxidation and plasma membrane damage as the dust particles penetrate cells. Therefore, clinicians who regularly work with these materials should wear the appropriate personal protection equipment to minimize exposure and reduce the health risks caused by these particulates.

Abstract
Single cell MS (SCMS) techniques are under rapid development for molecular analysis of individual cells among heterogeneous populations. Lipids are basic cellular constituents playing essential functions in energy storage and the cellular signaling processes of cells. Unsaturated lipids are characterized with one or multiple carbon-carbon double (C═C) bonds, and they are critical for cell functions and human diseases. Characterizing unsaturated lipids in single cells allows for better understanding of metabolomic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of rare cells (e.g., cancer stem cells); however, these studies remain challenging. We developed a new technique using a micropipette needle, in which Paternò-Büchi (PB) reactions at C═C bond can be induced, to determine locations of C═C bonds in unsaturated lipids at the single-cell level. The micropipette needle is produced by combining a pulled glass capillary needle with a fused silica capillary. Cell lysis solvent and PB reagent (acetone or benzophenone) are delivered into the micropipette needle (tip size ≈ 15 um) through a fused silica capillary. The capillary needle plays multiple functions (i.e., single cell sampling probe, cell lysis container, microreactor, and nano-ESI emitter) in the experiments. Both regular (no reaction) and reactive (with PB reaction) SCMS analyses of the same cell can be achieved. C═C bond locations were determined from MS scan and MS/MS of PB products assisted by Python programs. This technique can potentially be used for other reactive SCMS studies to enhance molecular analysis for broad ranges of single cells.

Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) are two essential classes of glycerophospholipids (GPs), playing versatile roles such as signalling messengers and lipid-protein interaction ligands in cell. Although a majority of PG and PI molecular species contain unsaturated fatty acyl chain(s), conventional tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) methods cannot discern isomers different in carbon-carbon double bond (CC) locations. In this work, we paired phosphate methylation with acetone Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction, aiming to provide a solution for sensitive and structurally informative analysis of these two important classes of GPs down to the location of CC. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) workflow was established. Offline methylated PG or PI mixtures were subjected to hydrophilic interaction chromatographic separation, online acetone PB reaction, and MS/MS via collision-induced dissociation (CID) for CC location determination in positive ion mode. This method was sensitive, offering limit of identification at 5 nM for both PG and PI standards down to CC locations. On molecular species level, 49 PI and 31 PG were identified from bovine liver, while 61 PIs were identified from human plasma. This workflow also enabled ratiometric comparisons of CC location isomers (C18:1 Δ9 vs. Δ11) of a series of PIs from type 2 diabetes (T2D) plasma to that of normal plasma samples. PI 16:0_18:1 and PI 18:0_18:1 were found to exhibit significant changes in CC isomeric ratios between T2D and normal plasma samples. The above results demonstrate that the developed LC-PB-MS/MS workflow is applicable to different classes of lipids and compatible with other established lipid derivatization methods to achieve comprehensive lipid analysis.

Abstract
Eggs, schistosomula and adult Schistosoma worms are known to release extracellular vesicles (EV) during in vitro incubations and these EVs are postulated to affect the host responses. So far only those EVs released during in vitro incubations of schistosomes have been studied and it is unknown whether in blood of infected hosts the schistosomal EVs can be detected amidst all the circulating EVs of the host itself. In this study we analyzed the protein as well as the phospholipid composition of EVs circulating in blood plasma of S. mansoni infected hamsters and compared those with the EVs circulating in blood of non-infected hamsters. Although neither proteins nor lipids specific for schistosomes could be detected in the circulating EVs of the infected hamsters, the infection with schistosomes had a marked effect on the circulating EVs of the host, as the protein as well as the lipid composition of EVs circulating in infected hamsters were different from the EVs of uninfected hamsters. The observed changes in the EV lipid and protein content suggest that more EVs are released by the diseased liver, the affected erythrocytes and activated immune cells.

Abstract
Signalling is of particular importance in immune cells, and upstream in the signalling pathway many membrane receptors are functional only as complexes, co-locating with particular lipid species. Work over the last 15 years has shown that plasma membrane lipid composition is close to a critical point of phase separation, with evidence that cells adapt their composition in ways that alter the proximity to this thermodynamic point. Macrophage cells are a key component of the innate immune system, are responsive to infections and regulate the local state of inflammation. We investigate changes in the plasma membrane’s proximity to the critical point as a response to stimulation by various pro- and anti-inflammatory agents. Pro-inflammatory (interferon γ, Kdo 2-Lipid A, lipopolysaccharide) perturbations induce an increase in the transition temperature of giant plasma membrane vesicles; anti-inflammatory interleukin 4 has the opposite effect. These changes recapitulate complex plasma membrane composition changes, and are consistent with lipid criticality playing a master regulatory role: being closer to critical conditions increases membrane protein activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A major challenge for lipidomic analyses is the handling of the large amounts of data and the translation of results to interpret the involvement of lipids in biological systems. RESULTS We built a new lipid ontology (LION) that associates >50,000 lipid species to biophysical, chemical, and cell biological features. By making use of enrichment algorithms, we used LION to develop a web-based interface (LION/web, www.lipidontology.com) that allows identification of lipid-associated terms in lipidomes. LION/web was validated by analyzing a lipidomic dataset derived from well-characterized sub-cellular fractions of RAW 264.7 macrophages. Comparison of isolated plasma membranes with the microsomal fraction showed a significant enrichment of relevant LION-terms including "plasma membrane", "headgroup with negative charge", "glycerophosphoserines", "above average bilayer thickness", and "below average lateral diffusion". A second validation was performed by analyzing the membrane fluidity of Chinese hamster ovary cells incubated with arachidonic acid. An increase in membrane fluidity was observed both experimentally by using pyrene decanoic acid and by using LION/web, showing significant enrichment of terms associated with high membrane fluidity ("above average", "very high", and "high lateral diffusion" and "below average transition temperature"). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate the functionality of LION/web, which is freely accessible in a platform-independent way.

Abstract
Lipids play a vital role in numerous cellular functions starting from a structural role as major constituents of membranes to acting as signaling intracellular or extracellular entities. Accordingly, it has been known for decades that lipids, especially those coming from diet, are important to maintain normal physiological functions and good health. On the other side, the exact molecular nature of these beneficial or deleterious lipids, as well as their precise mode of action, is only starting to be unraveled. This recent improvement in our knowledge is largely resulting from novel pharmacological, molecular, cellular, and genetic tools to study lipids in vitro and in vivo. Among these important lipids, phosphatidic acid plays a unique and central role in a great variety of cellular functions. This review will focus on the proposed functions of phosphatidic acid generated by phospholipase D in the last steps of regulated exocytosis with a specific emphasis on hormonal and neurotransmitter release and its potential impact on different neurological diseases.

Abstract
Probing the role of glycolipids in health and disease warrants development of practical strategies to determine these molecules at the intact structural level, namely to simultaneously characterize and quantify the glycan and lipid moieties without breaking the linkage between them. Herein we present such an approach utilizing differential isotope labeling and reversed phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS/MS) for structural characterization and relative quantification of intact neutral glycolipids. In this approach, each individual sample and a pooled aliquot of each sample were permethylated using 12CH3I and 13CH3I, respectively, with the latter one serving as internal reference standard. The individual 12C-permethylated samples were spiked with equal amounts of the 13C-permethylated pooled sample and analyzed by RPLC-MS/MS. Permethylation not only increased the ionization efficiency of glycolipids but also facilitated structural characterization of both moieties. The ratio of the peak areas between the 12C- and 13C-labeled glycolipids served as surrogate measure of their relative concentrations. The coefficient of variation of the method was <6% measured across four representative glycolipids in five different ratios and triplicate experiments, after correction of natural isotopic distribution. When analyzing the low abundant glycolipids in total lipid extract, permethylation can dramatically reduce the analytical background by depleting most of the highly abundant ester-linked lipids. Application to conduritol B epoxide-, a β-glucocerebrosidase inhibitor, treated RAW 264.7 cells demonstrated the practical utility of this method in profiling the temporal accumulation of different glycolipids. Overall, this methodology offers a practical LC-MS based identification and quantification strategy to advance intact glycolipids analysis in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Mitosis has been traditionally considered a metabolically inactive phase. We have previously shown, however, that extensive alterations in lipids occur as the cells traverse mitosis, including increased de novo fatty acid (FA) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis and decreased lysophospholipid content. Given the diverse structural and functional properties of these lipids, we sought to study their metabolic fate and their importance for cell cycle completion. Here we show that FA and PtdCho synthesized at the mitotic exit are destined to the nuclear envelope. Importantly, FA and PtdCho synthesis, but not the decrease in lysophospholipid content, are necessary for cell cycle completion beyond G2/M. Moreover, the presence of alternative pathways for PtdCho synthesis renders the cells less sensitive to its inhibition than to the impairment of FA synthesis. FA synthesis, thus, represents a cell cycle-related metabolic vulnerability that could be exploited for combined chemotherapy. We explored the combination of fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibition with agents that act at different phases of the cell cycle. Our results show that the effect of FASN inhibition may be enhanced under some drug combinations.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant health hazard and economic burden affecting approximately 10 million people in the United States. ALD stems from the production of toxic-reactive metabolites, oxidative stress and fat accumulation in hepatocytes which ultimately results in hepatocyte death promoting hepatitis and fibrosis deposition. Monocyte-derived infiltrating Ly6Chi and Ly6Clow macrophages are instrumental in perpetuating and resolving the hepatitis and fibrosis associated with ALD pathogenesis. In the present study we isolated liver infiltrating macrophages from mice on an ethanol diet and subjected them to metabolomic and proteomic analysis to provide a broad assessment of the cellular metabolite and protein differences between infiltrating macrophage phenotypes. We identified numerous differentially regulated metabolites and proteins between Ly6Chi and Ly6Clow macrophages. Bioinformatic analysis for pathway enrichment of the differentially regulated metabolites showed a significant number of metabolites involved in the processes of glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and phospholipid biosynthesis. From analysis of the infiltrating macrophage proteome, we observed a significant enrichment in the biological processes of antigen presentation, actin polymerization and organization, phagocytosis and apoptotic regulation. The data presented herein could yield exciting new research avenues for the analysis of signaling pathways regulating macrophage polarization in ALD.

Abstract
Advances over the past 25 years have revealed much about how the structural properties of membranes and associated proteins are linked to the thermodynamics and kinetics of membrane protein (MP) folding. At the same time biochemical progress has outlined how cellular proteostasis networks mediate MP folding and manage misfolding in the cell. When combined with results from genomic sequencing, these studies have established paradigms for how MP folding and misfolding are linked to the molecular etiologies of a variety of diseases. This emerging framework has paved the way for the development of a new class of small molecule "pharmacological chaperones" that bind to and stabilize misfolded MP variants, some of which are now in clinical use. In this review, we comprehensively outline current perspectives on the folding and misfolding of integral MPs as well as the mechanisms of cellular MP quality control. Based on these perspectives, we highlight new opportunities for innovations that bridge our molecular understanding of the energetics of MP folding with the nuanced complexity of biological systems. Given the many linkages between MP misfolding and human disease, we also examine some of the exciting opportunities to leverage these advances to address emerging challenges in the development of therapeutics and precision medicine.

Abstract
Membrane proteins that exist in lipid bilayers are not isolated molecular entities. The lipid molecules that surround them play crucial roles in maintaining their full structural and functional integrity. Research directed at investigating these critical lipid-protein interactions is developing rapidly. Advancements in both instrumentation and software, as well as in key biophysical and biochemical techniques, are accelerating the field. In this review, we provide a brief outline of structural techniques used to probe protein-lipid interactions and focus on the molecular aspects of these interactions obtained from native mass spectrometry (native MS). We highlight examples in which lipids have been shown to modulate membrane protein structure and show how native MS has emerged as a complementary technique to X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. We conclude with a short perspective on future developments that aim to better understand protein-lipid interactions in the native environment.

Abstract
Increased orosomucoid-like 3 (ORMDL3) expression levels, due to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been associated with several inflammatory diseases, including asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. ORMDL proteins inhibit serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), the first rate-limiting enzyme in de novo sphingolipid synthesis and alter cellular calcium homeostasis. Both processes are essential for immune response. The present study addresses ORMDL3 protein involvement in macrophage physiology using an overexpressing knock-in mouse model. Ceramide content was notably different in the bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from the transgenic mouse model compared with the wild type (WT) macrophages. Our data revealed an alteration of de novo production of sphinganine upon BMDM activation in the transgenic mouse. Gene-expression analysis showed that alteration in ORMDL3 expression levels did not affect activation or macrophage polarization. Nevertheless, we studied phagocytosis and autophagy—crucial processes that are dependent on lipid membrane composition. Phagocytosis in transgenic macrophages was not affected by ORMDL3 overexpression, but we did find a reduction in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4)-mediated autophagy. Both genetic and functional studies have pointed to autophagy as an essential pathway involved in inflammation. We believe that our work provides new insights into the functional link between ORMDL3 expression and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
P5A ATPases are expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of all eukaryotic cells, and their disruption results in severe ER stress. However, the function of these ubiquitous membrane proteins, which belong to the P-type ATPase superfamily, is unknown. We purified a functional tagged version of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae P5A ATPase Spf1p and observed that the ATP hydrolytic activity of the protein is stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). Furthermore, SPF1 exhibited negative genetic interactions with SAC1, encoding a PI4P phosphatase, and with OSH1 to OSH6, encoding Osh proteins, which, when energized by a PI4P gradient, drive export of sterols and lipids from the ER. Deletion of SPF1 resulted in increased sensitivity to inhibitors of sterol production, a marked change in the ergosterol/lanosterol ratio, accumulation of sterols in the plasma membrane, and cytosolic accumulation of lipid bodies. We propose that Spf1p maintains cellular sterol homeostasis by influencing the PI4P-induced and Osh-mediated export of sterols from the ER.

Ting HC, Chen LT, Chen JY, Huang YL, Xin RC, Chan JF, Hsu YHH. Double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids differentially regulate mitochondrial cardiolipin remodeling. Lipids Health Dis 2019; 18:53. [PMID: 30764880 PMCID: PMC6376731 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-019-0990-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Accepted: 01/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Supplemented fatty acids can incorporate into cardiolipin (CL) and affect its remodeling. The change in CL species may alter the mitochondrial membrane composition, potentially disturbing the mitochondrial structure and function during inflammation. METHOD To investigate the effect of the unsaturation of fatty acids on CL, we supplemented macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells with 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid (OA, 18:1), linoleic acid (LA, 18:2), α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3), γ-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3), and stearidonic acid (SDA, 18:4). Mitochondrial changes in CL were measured through mass spectrometry. RESULT Our data indicated that OA(18:1) was the most efficient fatty acid that incorporated into CL, forming symmetrical CL without fatty acid elongation and desaturation. In addition, LA(18:2) and ALA(18:3) were further elongated before incorporation, significantly increasing the number of double bonds and the chain length of CL. GLA and SDA were not optimal substrates for remodeling enzymes. The findings of RT-qPCR experiments revealed that none of these changes in CL occurred through the regulation of CL remodeling- or synthesis-related genes. The fatty acid desaturase and transportation genes-Fads2 and Cpt1a, respectively-were differentially regulated by the supplementation of five unsaturated 18-carbon fatty acids. CONCLUSIONS The process of fatty acid incorporation to CL was regulated by the fatty acid desaturation and transportation into mitochondria in macrophage. The double bonds of fatty acids significantly affect the incorporation process and preference. Intact OA(18:1) was incorporated to CL; LA(18:2) and ALA(18:3) were desaturated and elongated to long chain fatty acid before the incorporation; GLA(18:3) and SDA(18:4) were unfavorable for the CL incorporation.

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases 3 and 4 direct glycerolipid synthesis and affect functionality in activated macrophages. Biochem J 2019; 476:85-99. [DOI: 10.1042/bcj20180381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2018] [Revised: 12/03/2018] [Accepted: 12/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AbstractMacrophage classical M1 activation via TLR4 triggers a variety of responses to achieve the elimination of foreign pathogens. During this process, there is also an increase in lipid droplets which contain large quantities of triacylglycerol (TAG) and phospholipid (PL). The functional consequences of this increment in lipid mass are poorly understood. Here, we studied the contribution of glycerolipid synthesis to lipid accumulation, focusing specifically on the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway: glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT). Using bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) treated with Kdo2-lipid A, we showed that glycerolipid synthesis is induced during macrophage activation. GPAT4 protein level and GPAT3/GPAT4 enzymatic activity increase during this process, and these two isoforms were required for the accumulation of cell TAG and PL. The phagocytic capacity of Gpat3−/− and Gpat4−/− BMDM was impaired. Additionally, inhibiting fatty acid β-oxidation reduced phagocytosis only partially, suggesting that lipid accumulation is not necessary for the energy requirements for phagocytosis. Finally, Gpat4−/− BMDM expressed and released more pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines after macrophage activation, suggesting a role for GPAT4 in suppressing inflammatory responses. Together, these results provide evidence that glycerolipid synthesis directed by GPAT4 is important for the attenuation of the inflammatory response in activated macrophages.

Abstract
Leukotrienes (LTs) are autacoids derived from the precursor arachidonic acid (AA) via the action of five-lipoxygenase (5-LO). When inflammatory cells are activated, 5-LO translocates to the nuclear membrane to initiate oxygenation of AA released by cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) into leukotriene A4 (LTA4). LTA4 can also be exported from an activated donor cell into an acceptor cell by the process of transcellular biosynthesis. When thimerosal is added to cells, the level of free AA increases by inhibition of lysophospholipid acyltransferases of the Lands pathway of phospholipid remodeling. Another arachidonate phospholipid cycle involves phosphatidylinositol (PI) in the plasma membrane that undoubtedly intersects with the Lands pathway of phospholipid remodeling. The highest abundance of PI occurs between the ER and the plasma membrane and is probably a result of the importance of the PI signaling cascade in cellular biochemistry. Because transport proteins mediate the rapid intracellular movement of phospholipids, largely as result of physical membrane contact, 5-LO-dependent production of LTA4 could be mediated by the disappearance of free AA from the nuclear membrane, transfer to the ER for Lands cycle reesterification into PI, and population of PI(18:0/20:4) for cell membrane signaling.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is discussed as a key player in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2Dm), a highly prevalent disease rapidly developing as one of the greatest global health challenges of this century. Data however about the involvement of mitochondria, central hubs in bioenergetic processes, in the disease development are still controversial. Lipid and protein homeostasis are under intense discussion to be crucial for proper mitochondrial function. Consequently proteomics and lipidomics analyses might help to understand how molecular changes in mitochondria translate to alterations in energy transduction as observed in the healthy and metabolic diseases such as T2Dm and other related disorders. Mitochondrial lipids integrated in a tool covering proteomic and functional analyses were up to now rarely investigated, although mitochondrial lipids might provide a possible lynchpin in the understanding of type 2 diabetes development and thereby prevention. In this chapter state-of-the-art analytical strategies, pre-analytical aspects, potential pitfalls as well as current proteomics and lipidomics-based knowledge about the pathophysiological role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes will be discussed.
