Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic steatosis is a common finding in liver histopathology and the hallmark of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whose global prevalence is rising. AIMS To review the histopathology of hepatic steatosis and its mechanisms of development and to identify common and rare disease associations. METHODS We reviewed literature on the basic science of lipid droplet (LD) biology and clinical research on acute and chronic liver diseases associated with hepatic steatosis using the PubMed database. RESULTS A variety of genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of chronic hepatic steatosis or steatotic liver disease, which typically appears macrovesicular. Microvesicular steatosis is associated with acute mitochondrial dysfunction and liver failure. Fat metabolic processes in hepatocytes whose dysregulation leads to the development of steatosis include secretion of lipoprotein particles, uptake of remnant lipoprotein particles or free fatty acids from blood, de novo lipogenesis, oxidation of fatty acids, lipolysis and lipophagy. Hepatic insulin resistance is a key feature of MASLD. Seipin is a polyfunctional protein that facilitates LD biogenesis. Assembly of hepatitis C virus takes place on LD surfaces. LDs make important, functional contact with the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles. CONCLUSIONS Diverse liver pathologies are associated with hepatic steatosis, with MASLD being the most important contributor. The biogenesis and dynamics of LDs in hepatocytes are complex and warrant further investigation. Organellar interfaces permit co-regulation of lipid metabolism to match generation of potentially toxic lipid species with their LD depot storage.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine into phosphatidic acid and free choline. In mammals, PLD exists in two well-characterized isoforms, PLD1 and PLD2, and it plays pivotal roles as signaling mediators in various cellular functions, such as cell survival, differentiation, and migration. These isoforms are predominantly expressed in diverse cell types, including many immune cells, such as monocytes and macrophages, as well as non-immune cells, such as epithelial and endothelial cells. Several previous studies have revealed that the stimulation of these cells leads to an increase in PLD expression and its enzymatic products, potentially influencing the pathological responses in a wide spectrum of diseases. Metabolic diseases, exemplified by conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and atherosclerosis, pose significant global health challenges. Abnormal activation or dysfunction of PLD emerges as a potential contributing factor to the pathogenesis and progression of these metabolic disorders. Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly investigate and understand the intricate relationship between PLD and metabolic diseases. In this review, we provide an in-depth overview of the functional roles and molecular mechanisms of PLD involved in metabolic diseases. By delving into the intricate interplay between PLD and metabolic disorders, this review aims to offer insights into the potential therapeutic interventions.

Searching for new genes associated with the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype using whole-genome sequencing and machine learning. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2023; 27:522-529. [PMID: 37808210 PMCID: PMC10551936 DOI: 10.18699/vjgb-23-63] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the most common congenital metabolic disorders is familial hypercholesterolemia. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a condition caused by a type of genetic defect leading to a decreased rate of removal of low-density lipoproteins from the bloodstream and a pronounced increase in the blood level of total cholesterol. This disease leads to the early development of cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic etiology. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a monogenic disease that is predominantly autosomal dominant. Rare pathogenic variants in the LDLR gene are present in 75-85 % of cases with an identified molecular genetic cause of the disease, and variants in other genes (APOB, PCSK9, LDLRAP1, ABCG5, ABCG8, and others) occur at a frequency of < 5 % in this group of patients. A negative result of genetic screening for pathogenic variants in genes of the low-density lipoprotein receptor and its ligands does not rule out a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. In 20-40 % of cases, molecular genetic testing fails to detect changes in the above genes. The aim of this work was to search for new genes associated with the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype by modern high-tech methods of sequencing and machine learning. On the basis of a group of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (enrolled according to the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network Criteria and including cases confirmed by molecular genetic analysis), decision trees were constructed, which made it possible to identify cases in the study population that require additional molecular genetic analysis. Five probands were identified as having the severest familial hypercholesterolemia without pathogenic variants in the studied genes and were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing on the HiSeq 1500 platform (Illumina). The whole-genome sequencing revealed rare variants in three out of five analyzed patients: a heterozygous variant (rs760657350) located in a splicing acceptor site in the PLD1 gene (c.2430-1G>A), a previously undescribed single-nucleotide deletion in the SIDT1 gene [c.2426del (p.Leu809CysfsTer2)], new missense variant c.10313C>G (p.Pro3438Arg) in the LRP1B gene, and single-nucleotide deletion variant rs753876598 [c.165del (p.Ser56AlafsTer11)] in the CETP gene. All these variants were found for the first time in patients with a clinical diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. Variants were identified that may influence the formation of the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype.

Assessment of lipid metabolism-disrupting effects of non-phthalate plasticizer diisobutyl adipate through in silico and in vitro approaches. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:1395-1404. [PMID: 36896678 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
Diisobutyl adipate (DIBA), as a novel non-phthalate plasticizer, is widely used in various products. However, little effort has been made to investigate whether DIBA might have adverse effects on human health. In this study, we integrated an in silico and in vitro strategy to assess the impact of DIBA on cellular homeostasis. Since numerous plasticizers could activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) pathway to interrupt metabolism systems, we first utilized molecular docking to analyze interaction between DIBA and PPARγ. Results indicated that DIBA had strong affinity with the ligand-binding domain of PPARγ (PPARγ-LBD) at Histidine 499. Afterwards, we used cellular models to investigate in vitro effects of DIBA. Results demonstrated that DIBA exposure increased intracellular lipid content in murine and human hepatocytes, and altered transcriptional expression of genes related to PPARγ signaling and lipid metabolism pathways. At last, target genes regulated by DIBA were predicted and enriched for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and transcriptional factors (TFs)-genes network were established accordingly. Target genes were enriched in Phospholipase D signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) and Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway which were related to lipid metabolism. These findings suggested that DIBA exposure might disturb intracellular lipid metabolism homeostasis via targeting PPARγ. This study also demonstrated that this integrated in silico and in vitro methodology could be utilized as a high throughput, cost-saving and effective tool to assess the potential risk of various environmental chemicals on human health.

Inhibition of phospholipase D1 ameliorates hepatocyte steatosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. JHEP Rep 2023; 5:100726. [PMID: 37138676 PMCID: PMC10149370 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhepr.2023.100726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background & Aims Phospholipase D1 (PLD1), a phosphatidylcholine-hydrolysing enzyme, is involved in cellular lipid metabolism. However, its involvement in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and consequently non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not been explicitly explored. Methods NAFLD was induced in hepatocyte-specific Pld1 knockout (Pld1(H)-KO) and littermate Pld1 flox/flox (Pld1-Flox) control mice feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 wk. Changes of the lipid composition in the liver were compared. Alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) cells and mouse primary hepatocytes were incubated with oleic acid or sodium palmitate in vitro to explore the role of PLD1 in the development of hepatic steatosis. Hepatic PLD1 expression was evaluated in liver biopsy samples in patients with NAFLD. Results PLD1 expression levels were increased in the hepatocytes of patients with NAFLD and HFD-fed mice. Compared with Pld1-Flox mice, Pld1(H)-KO mice exhibited decreased plasma glucose and lipid levels as well as lipid accumulation in liver tissues after HFD feeding. Transcriptomic analysis showed that hepatocyte-specific deficiency of PLD1 decreased Cd36 expression in steatosis liver tissues, which was confirmed at the protein and gene levels. In vitro, specific inhibition of PLD1 with VU0155069 or VU0359595 decreased CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in oleic acid- or sodium palmitate-treated AML12 cells or primary hepatocytes. Inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 significantly altered lipid composition, especially phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid levels in liver tissues with hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, phosphatidic acid, the downstream product of PLD1, increased the expression levels of CD36 in AML12 cells, which was reversed by a PPARγ antagonist. Conclusions Hepatocyte-specific Pld1 deficiency ameliorates lipid accumulation and NAFLD development by inhibiting the PPARγ/CD36 pathway. PLD1 may be a new target for the treatment of NAFLD. Impact and implications The involvement of PLD1 in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and NAFLD has not been explicitly explored. In this study, we found that the inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 exerted potent protective effects against HFD-induced NAFLD, which were attributable to a reduction in PPARγ/CD36 pathway-mediated lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Targeting hepatocyte PLD1 may be a new target for the treatment of NAFLD.

Abstract
Ubiquitous yet unique, lipid droplets are intracellular organelles that are increasingly being recognized for their versatility beyond energy storage. Advances uncovering the intricacies of their biogenesis and the diversity of their physiological and pathological roles have yielded new insights into lipid droplet biology. Despite these insights, the mechanisms governing the biogenesis and functions of lipid droplets remain incompletely understood. Moreover, the causal relationship between the biogenesis and function of lipid droplets and human diseases is poorly resolved. Here, we provide an update on the current understanding of the biogenesis and functions of lipid droplets in health and disease, highlighting a key role for lipid droplet biogenesis in alleviating cellular stresses. We also discuss therapeutic strategies of targeting lipid droplet biogenesis, growth or degradation that could be applied in the future to common diseases, such as cancer, hepatic steatosis and viral infection.

Abstract
Cholesterol, one of the major cell membrane components, stabilizes membrane fluidity and regulates signal transduction. Beside its canonical roles, cholesterol has been reported to directly activate signaling pathways such as hedgehog (Hh). We recently found that astrocytes, one of the glial cells, respond to Hh pathway stimulation by Ca signaling. These notions led us to test if extracellularly applied cholesterol triggers Ca signaling in astrocytes. Here, we found that cholesterol application induces robust Ca oscillation only in astrocytes with different properties from the Hh-induced Ca response. The Ca oscillation has a long delay which corresponds to the onset of cholesterol accumulation in the plasma membrane. Blockade of the Ca oscillation resulted in enhancement of astrocytic cell death and disturbance of lipid droplet formation, implying a possibility that the cholesterol-induced Ca oscillation plays important roles in astrocytic survival and cholesterol handling under pathological conditions of cholesterol load such as demyelination. Robust Ca oscillation by cholesterol in astrocytes but not in neurons and microglia Cholesterol-induced Ca oscillation relates to membrane cholesterol accumulation The Ca oscillation is driven via the PLC-IP3 signaling pathway Ca oscillation inhibition leads to astrocytic death and lipid droplet malformation

Abstract
Fat deposition in pigs is not only closely related to pig production efficiency and pork quality but also an ideal model for human obesity. Transcriptome sequencing is widely used to study fat deposition. However, due to small sample sizes, high false positive rates, and poor consistency of results from different studies, new strategies are urgently needed. Machine learning, a new analysis method, can effectively fit complex data and accurately identify samples and genes. In this study, 36 samples of adipose tissue, muscle tissue, and liver tissue were collected from Songliao black pigs and Landrace pigs, and the mRNA of all the samples was sequenced. In addition, we collected transcriptome data for 64 samples in the GEO database from four different sources. After standardization and imputation of missing values in the data set comprising 100 samples, traditional differential expression analysis was carried out, and different numbers of expressed genes were selected as features for the training model of eight machine learning methods. In the 1000 replications of fourfold cross validation with 100 samples, AdaBoost performed best, with an average prediction accuracy greater than 93% and the highest mean area under the curve in predicting the high- and low-fat content groups among the eight ML methods. According to their performance-based ranks inferred by AdaBoost, 12 genes related to fat deposition were identified; among them, FASN and APOD were specifically expressed in adipose tissue, and APOA1 was specifically expressed in the liver, which could be important candidate biomarkers affecting fat deposition.

Abstract
Small RNAs (sRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous noncoding single-stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. Experiments in mice and humans have revealed that a typical small RNA can affect the expression of a wide range of genes, implying that small RNAs function as global regulators. Here, we used small RNA deep sequencing to investigate how jararhagin, a metalloproteinase toxin produced from the venom of Bothrops jararaca, affected mmu-miRNAs expression in mice 2 hours (Jar 2hrs) and 24 hours (Jar 24hrs) after injection compared to PBS control. The findings revealed that seven mmu-miRNAs were substantially differentially expressed (p value (p (Corr) cut-off 0.05, fold change ≥ 2) at 2 hrs after jararhagin exposure and that the majority of them were upregulated when compared to PBS. In contrast to these findings, a comparison of Jar 24hrs vs. PBS 24hrs demonstrated that the majority of identified mmu-miRNAs were downregulated. Furthermore, the studies demonstrated that mmu-miRNAs can target the expression of several genes involved in the MAPK signaling pathway. The steady antithetical regulation of mmu-miRNAs may correlate with the expression of genes that trigger apoptosis via MAPK in the early stages, and this effect intensifies with time. The findings expand our understanding of the effects of jararhagin on local tissue lesions at the molecular level.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) have emerged not just as storage sites for lipids but as central regulators of metabolism and organelle quality control. These critical functions are achieved, in part, at membrane contact sites (MCS) between LDs and other organelles. MCS are sites of transfer of cellular constituents to or from LDs for energy mobilization in response to nutrient limitations, as well as LD biogenesis, expansion and autophagy. Here, we describe recent findings on the mechanisms underlying the formation and function of MCS between LDs and mitochondria, ER and lysosomes/vacuoles and the role of the cytoskeleton in promoting LD MCS through its function in LD movement and distribution in response to environmental cues.

Zhang X, Huang C, Yuan Y, Jin S, Zhao J, Zhang W, Liang H, Chen X, Zhang B. FOXM1-mediated activation of phospholipase D1 promotes lipid droplet accumulation and reduces ROS to support paclitaxel resistance in metastatic cancer cells. Free Radic Biol Med 2022; 179:213-228. [PMID: 34808333 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2021.11.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Chemoresistance is a major challenge for the treatment of cancer with metastasis. We investigated the mechanisms of lipid metabolites involved in drug resistance. Here, metastatic cancer cells isolated from mouse models were resistant to paclitaxel treatment in vitro and in vivo when compared with parental cancer cells. FOXM1, an oncogenic transcriptional factor, was highly expressed in metastatic cancer cells, and overexpression of FOXM1 conferred parental cancer cells resistance to paclitaxel. Lipidomic analysis showed that FOXM1 increased unsaturated triglyceride (TG) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) abundance, which are the main components of lipid droplet (LD). Inhibition of LD formation sensitized cells to paclitaxel. Mechanistically, the enzyme phospholipase D1 (PLD1) was identified as a potential effector target of FOXM1. PLD1 promoted LD accumulation, which reduced the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintained endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis in resistant cells with the treatment of paclitaxel. Moreover, inhibition of PLD1 reversed FOXM1-conferred paclitaxel resistance in vitro and in vivo. This study, for the first time, reveals the role of FOXM1-mediated PLD1 in LD accumulation and paclitaxel resistance. Targeting PLD1 or LD formation may help reverse chemoresistance in metastatic cancer cells. Generally, our results identified FOXM1 as a driver of paclitaxel resistance via activation of PLD1 to promote of LD accumulation, which contributes to the maintenace of ER homeostasis when metastatic cancer cells are confronted with ROS induced by paclitaxel.

Abstract
Recently unfolded mechanisms showed lipid droplet helps in pathogen survival and paralyzes host immune response. In the present study, we showed the extent of lipid droplet(LD) generation in Leishmania donovani infection, the signaling involved, and their function concerning pathogenicity. RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells were used to infect with L. donovani and then flow cytometry and confocal microscopy were used to detect lipid droplet generation and subsequent assays. In this study, we showed that L. donovani AG83 (AG83/MHOM/1983) triggers lipid droplet formation in macrophages in a time-dependent manner. We provide novel insight into the signaling molecules which is responsible for LD accumulation. Interestingly, LPG deficient attenuated Leishmania strain UR6 (UR6/MHOM/1978) failed to fuel LD generation. But inhibition of phagosome maturation drastically stimulates LD accumulation in UR6 infected MΦs. Aspirin treatment in AG83 infected MΦs does not only lower LD load but also favors phagolysosome biogenesis and corrects cytokine balance. Employing strategies to circumvent halt in phagosome maturation using drugs that manipulate lipid droplet generation could be used as a therapeutic tool to resist parasite growth in the early hour of infection.

Abstract
Lipid droplets, classically regarded as static storage organelles, are currently considered as dynamic structures involved in key processes of lipid metabolism, cellular homeostasis and signaling. Studies on the inflammatory state of atherosclerotic plaques suggest that circulating monocytes interact with products released by endothelial cells and may acquire a foamy phenotype before crossing the endothelial barrier and differentiating into macrophages. One such compound released in significant amounts into the bloodstream is arachidonic acid, the common precursor of eicosanoids, and a potent inducer of neutral lipid synthesis and lipid droplet formation in circulating monocytes. Members of the family of phospholipase A2, which hydrolyze the fatty acid present at the sn-2 position of phospholipids, have recently emerged as key controllers of lipid droplet homeostasis, regulating their formation and the availability of fatty acids for lipid mediator production. In this paper we discuss recent findings related to lipid droplet dynamics in immune cells and the ways these organelles are involved in regulating arachidonic acid availability and metabolism in the context of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Phospholipases A2s (PLA2s) constitute one of the major protein groups present in the venoms of viperid and crotalid snakes. Snake venom PLA2s (svPLA2s) exhibit a remarkable functional diversity, as they have been described to induce a myriad of toxic effects. Local inflammation is an important characteristic of snakebite envenomation inflicted by viperid and crotalid species and diverse svPLA2s have been studied for their proinflammatory properties. Moreover, based on their molecular, structural, and functional properties, the viperid svPLA2s are classified into the group IIA secreted PLA2s, which encompasses mammalian inflammatory sPLA2s. Thus, research on svPLA2s has attained paramount importance for better understanding the role of this class of enzymes in snake envenomation and the participation of GIIA sPLA2s in pathophysiological conditions and for the development of new therapeutic agents. In this review, we highlight studies that have identified the inflammatory activities of svPLA2s, in particular, those from Bothrops genus snakes, which are major medically important snakes in Latin America, and we describe recent advances in our collective understanding of the mechanisms underlying their inflammatory effects. We also discuss studies that dissect the action of these venom enzymes in inflammatory cells focusing on molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the biosynthesis of lipid mediators and lipid accumulation in immunocompetent cells.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are commonly found in various biological cells and are organelles related to cell metabolism. LDs, the number and size of which are heterogeneous across cell type, are primarily composed of polar lipids and proteins on the surface with neutral lipids in the core. Neutral lipids stored in LDs can be degraded by lipolysis and lipophagocytosis, which are regulated by various proteins. The process of LD formation can be summarized in four steps. In addition to energy production, LDs play an extremely pivotal role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, lipid toxicity, storage of fat-soluble vitamins, regulation of oxidative stress, and reprogramming of cell metabolism. Interestingly, LDs, the hub of integration between metabolism and the immune system, are involved in antitumor immunity, anti-infective immunity (viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.) and some metabolic immune diseases. Herein, we summarize the role of LDs in several major immune cells as elucidated in recent years, including T cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, mast cells, and neutrophils. Additionally, we analyze the role of the interaction between LDs and immune cells in two typical metabolic immune diseases: atherosclerosis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that undergo dynamic changes in response to changing cellular conditions. During nutrient depletion, LD numbers increase to protect cells against toxic fatty acids generated through autophagy and provide fuel for beta-oxidation. However, the precise mechanisms through which these changes are regulated have remained unclear. Here, we show that the small GTPase RalA acts downstream of autophagy to directly facilitate LD growth during nutrient depletion. Mechanistically, RalA performs this function through phospholipase D1 (PLD1), an enzyme that converts phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidic acid (PA) and that is recruited to lysosomes during nutrient stress in a RalA-dependent fashion. RalA inhibition prevents recruitment of the LD-associated protein perilipin 3, which is required for LD growth. Our data support a model in which RalA recruits PLD1 to lysosomes during nutrient deprivation to promote the localized production of PA and the recruitment of perilipin 3 to expanding LDs.

Abstract
Significance: Cardiometabolic disorders (CMD) are composed of a plethora of metabolic dysfunctions such as dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and hypertension. The development of these disorders is highly linked to inflammation and oxidative stress (OxS), two metabolic states closely related to physiological and pathological conditions. Given the drastically rising CMD prevalence, the discovery of new therapeutic targets/novel nutritional approaches is of utmost importance. Recent Advances: The tremendous progress in methods/technologies and animal modeling has allowed the clarification of phospholipase D (PLD) critical roles in multiple cellular processes, whether directly or indirectly via phosphatidic acid, the lipid product mediating signaling functions. In view of its multiple features and implications in various diseases, PLD has emerged as a drug target. Critical Issues: Although insulin stimulates PLD activity and, in turn, PLD regulates insulin signaling, the impact of the two important PLD isoforms on the metabolic syndrome components remains vague. Therefore, after outlining PLD1/PLD2 characteristics and functions, their role in inflammation, OxS, and CMD has been analyzed and critically reported in the present exhaustive review. The influence of functional foods and nutrients in the regulation of PLD has also been examined. Future Directions: Available evidence supports the implication of PLD in CMD, but only few studies emphasize its mechanisms of action and specific regulation by nutraceutical compounds. Therefore, additional investigations are first needed to clarify the functional role of nutraceutics and, second, to elucidate whether targeting PLDs with food compounds represents an appropriate therapeutic strategy to treat CMD.

Abstract
Avian sperm storage tubules (SSTs), which are located in the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) of the oviduct, are primary sperm storage sites after mating or artificial insemination. The mechanism underlying reduced sperm storage efficiency of SSTs which is highly correlated with decreased fertility rates in aged laying breeders remains largely unclear. Here, comparative transcriptomic analysis between the aged and young White Leghorn hens (120 vs. 30 wk) was applied to identify gene expression changes of UVJs containing SSTs. Bioinformatics analysis revealed 567 upregulated and 1998 downregulated differentially expressed genes. Gene ontology analysis was highly enriched in terms of immune system, cell adhesion, and cytoskeleton proteins. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed 5 significant (P < 0.05) pathways including inositol phosphate and glycerophospholipid metabolism. β-Galactosidase staining of chicken UVJ sections suggested increased cell senescence via aging. Oil Red O staining and immunohistochemistry detection of ADFP both confirmed distribution of lipid droplets in SST cells with increased intensity in aged breeders. The lipid synthesis and metabolism-related genes represented by TFAP2 and PLD1 were differentially expressed in aged laying breeders. The upregulation of IL15 and downregulation of a large number of immune-related genes in aged breeders indicate altered immune homeostasis in UVJs and SSTs. The increased accumulation of lipids, and altered immunity homeostasis, combined with other factors (TJP1, MYL9, AFDN, and RPL13, etc.) are potentially dominant effectors to decrease the sperm storage efficiency and egg fertility in aged laying breeders.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major etiologic agent of chronic liver diseases. HCV is highly dependent on cellular machinery for viral propagation. Using protein microarray analysis, we previously identified 90 cellular proteins as nonstructural 5A (NS5A) interacting partners. Of these, protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons protein 2 (PACSIN2) was selected for further study. PACSIN2 belongs to the PACSIN family, which is involved in the formation of caveolae. Protein interaction between NS5A and PACSIN2 was confirmed by pulldown assay and further verified by both coimmunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays. We showed that PACSIN2 interacted with domain I of NS5A and the Fer-CIP4 homology (FCH)-Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (F-BAR) region of PACSIN2. Interestingly, NS5A specifically attenuated protein kinase C alpha (PKCα)-mediated phosphorylation of PACSIN2 at serine 313 by interrupting PACSIN2 and PKCα interaction. In fact, mutation of the serine 313 to alanine (S313A) of PACSIN2 increased protein interaction with NS5A. Silencing of PACSIN2 decreased both viral RNA and protein expression levels of HCV. Ectopic expression of the small interfering RNA (siRNA)-resistant PACSIN2 recovered the viral infectivity, suggesting that PACSIN2 was specifically required for HCV propagation. PACSIN2 was involved in viral assembly without affecting other steps of the HCV life cycle. Indeed, overexpression of PACSIN2 promoted NS5A and core protein (core) interaction. We further showed that inhibition of PKCα increased NS5A and core interaction, suggesting that phosphorylation of PACSIN2 might influence HCV assembly. Moreover, PACSIN2 was required for lipid droplet formation via modulating extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation. Taken together, these data indicate that HCV modulates PACSIN2 via NS5A to promote virion assembly.IMPORTANCE PACSIN2 is a lipid-binding protein that triggers the tubulation of the phosphatidic acid-containing membranes. The functional involvement of PACSIN2 in the virus life cycle has not yet been demonstrated. We showed that phosphorylation of PACSIN2 displayed a negative effect on NS5A and core interaction. The most significant finding is that NS5A prevents PKCα from binding to PACSIN2. Therefore, the phosphorylation level of PACSIN2 is decreased in HCV-infected cells. We showed that HCV NS5A interrupted PKCα-mediated PACSIN2 phosphorylation at serine 313, thereby promoting NS5A-PACSIN2 interaction. We further demonstrated that PACSIN2 modulated lipid droplet formation through ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These data provide evidence that PACSIN2 is a proviral cellular factor required for viral propagation.

Abstract
Despite being discovered over 60 years ago, the precise role of phospholipase D (PLD) is still being elucidated. PLD enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of glycerophospholipids producing phosphatidic acid and the free headgroup. PLD family members are found in organisms ranging from viruses, and bacteria to plants, and mammals. They display a range of substrate specificities, are regulated by a diverse range of molecules, and have been implicated in a broad range of cellular processes including receptor signaling, cytoskeletal regulation and membrane trafficking. Recent technological advances including: the development of PLD knockout mice, isoform-specific antibodies, and specific inhibitors are finally permitting a thorough analysis of the in vivo role of mammalian PLDs. These studies are facilitating increased recognition of PLD's role in disease states including cancers and Alzheimer's disease, offering potential as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Kumar et al. describe a detailed pathway for channeling fat from the liver into blood across fed/fasted cycles. Insulin, phosphatidic acid, and kinesin collaborate in hepatocytes to deliver lipid droplets to the smooth ER, where they are catabolized to supply fat for lipoprotein production and secretion. Triglyceride-rich lipid droplets (LDs) are catabolized with high efficiency in hepatocytes to supply fatty acids for producing lipoprotein particles. Fasting causes a massive influx of adipose-derived fatty acids into the liver. The liver in the fasted state is therefore bloated with LDs but, remarkably, still continues to secrete triglycerides at a constant rate. Here we show that insulin signaling elevates phosphatidic acid (PA) dramatically on LDs in the fed state. PA then signals to recruit kinesin-1 motors, which transport LDs to the peripherally located smooth ER inside hepatocytes, where LDs are catabolized to produce lipoproteins. This pathway is down-regulated homeostatically when fasting causes insulin levels to drop, thus preventing dangerous elevation of triglycerides in the blood. Further, we show that a specific peptide against kinesin-1 blocks triglyceride secretion without any apparent deleterious effects on cells. Our work therefore reveals fundamental mechanisms that maintain lipid homeostasis across metabolic states and leverages this knowledge to propose a molecular target against hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Although steatosis (fatty liver) is a clinically well-described early stage of alcoholic liver disease, surprisingly little is known about how it promotes hepatotoxicity. We have shown that ethanol consumption leads to microtubule hyperacetylation that can explain ethanol-induced defects in protein trafficking. Because almost all steps of the lipid droplet life cycle are microtubule dependent and because microtubule acetylation promotes adipogenesis, we examined droplet dynamics in ethanol-treated cells. In WIF-B cells treated with ethanol and/or oleic acid (a fatty acid associated with the "Western" diet), we found that ethanol dramatically increased lipid droplet numbers and led to the formation of large, peripherally located droplets. Enhanced droplet formation required alcohol dehydrogenase-mediated ethanol metabolism, and peripheral droplet distributions required intact microtubules. We also determined that ethanol-induced microtubule acetylation led to impaired droplet degradation. Live-cell imaging revealed that droplet motility was microtubule dependent and that droplets were virtually stationary in ethanol-treated cells. To determine more directly whether microtubule hyperacetylation could explain impaired droplet motility, we overexpressed the tubulin-specific acetyltransferase αTAT1 to promote microtubule acetylation in the absence of alcohol. Droplet motility was impaired in αTAT1-expressing cells but to a lesser extent than in ethanol-treated cells. However, in both cases, the large immotile droplets (but not small motile ones) colocalized with dynein and dynactin (but not kinesin), implying that altered droplet-motor microtubule interactions may explain altered dynamics. These studies further suggest that modulating cellular acetylation is a potential strategy for treating alcoholic liver disease.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Chronic alcohol consumption with the "Western diet" enhances the development of fatty liver and leads to impaired droplet motility, which may have serious deletrious effects on hepatocyte function.

Abstract
Astrocytes exhibit an important role in neural lipid metabolism for the regulation of energy balance to supply fatty acids (FAs) and ketone bodies to other neural cells. Lipid droplets (LDs) consisting of neutral- and phospho-lipids increase in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. However, the role of LDs and its lipid source remains largely unexplored. Here, we found that oleic acid (OA) was a potent inducer of astrocytic LD accumulation among various FAs. Lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography equipped with tandem mass spectrometry revealed that the cellular triacylglycerol and phospholipid compositions in astrocytes during LD accumulation reflected the condition of extracellular FAs. Furthermore, the inhibition of diacylglycerol acyltransferase blocked OA-induced LD accumulation and caused lipotoxicity-induced cell death in astrocytes. The present study demonstrated that the formation of LDs, caused due to the increased extracellular OA, facilitated survival against lipotoxic condition.

Abstract
It is known that cerebral ischemia can cause brain inflammation and adiposome can serve as a depot of inflammatory mediators. In the study, the pro-inflammatory and pro-death role of adiposome in ischemic microglia and ischemic brain was newly investigated. The contribution of PPARγ to adiposome formation was also evaluated for the first time in ischemic microglia. Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) animal model and the in vitro glucose-oxygen-serum deprivation (GOSD) cell model were both applied in the study. GOSD- or I/R-induced adiposome formation, inflammatory activity, cell death of microglia, and brain infarction were, respectively, determined, in the absence or presence of NS-398 (adiposome inhibitor) or GW9662 (PPARγ antagonist). GOSD-increased adiposome formation played a critical role in stimulating the inflammatory activity (production of TNF-α and IL-1β) and cell death of microglia. Similar results were also found in ischemic brain tissues. GOSD-induced PPARγ partially contributed to the increase of adiposomes and adiposome-mediated inflammatory responses of microglia. Blockade of adiposome formation with NS-398 or GW9662 significantly reduced not only the inflammatory activity and death rate of GOSD-treated microglia but also the brain infarct volume and motor function deficit of ischemic rats. The pathological role of microglia-derived adiposome in cerebral ischemia has been confirmed and attributed to its pro-inflammatory and/or pro-death effect upon ischemic brain cells and tissues. Adiposome and its upstream regulator PPARγ were therefore as potential targets for the treatment of ischemic stroke. Therapeutic values of NS-398 and GW9662 have been suggested.

Abstract
Cells store excess energy in the form of neutral lipids that are synthesized and encapsulated within the endoplasmic reticulum intermonolayer space. The lipids next demix to form lipid droplets (LDs), which, surprisingly, bud off mostly toward the cytosol. This directional LD formation is critical to energy metabolism, but its mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we reconstituted the LD formation topology by embedding artificial LDs into the intermonolayer space of bilayer vesicles. We provide experimental evidence that the droplet behavior in the membrane is recapitulated by the physics of three-phase wetting systems, dictated by the equilibrium of surface tensions. We thereupon determined that slight tension asymmetries between the membrane monolayers regulate the droplet budding side. A differential regulation of lipid or protein composition around a forming LD can generate a monolayer tension asymmetry that will determine the LD budding side. Our results offer, to our knowledge, new insights on how the proteins might regulate LD formation side by generating a monolayer tension asymmetry.

Abstract
The aim was to clarify the role of vimentin, an intermediate filament protein abundantly expressed in activated macrophages and foam cells, in macrophages during atherogenesis. Global gene expression, lipid uptake, ROS, and inflammation were analyzed in bone-marrow derived macrophages from vimentin-deficient (Vim-/-) and wild-type (Vim+/+) mice. Atherosclerosis was induced in Ldlr-/- mice transplanted with Vim-/- and Vim+/+ bone marrow, and in Vim-/- and Vim+/+ mice injected with a PCSK9 gain-of-function virus. The mice were fed an atherogenic diet for 12-15 weeks. We observed impaired uptake of native LDL but increased uptake of oxLDL in Vim-/- macrophages. FACS analysis revealed increased surface expression of the scavenger receptor CD36 on Vim-/- macrophages. Vim-/- macrophages also displayed increased markers of oxidative stress, activity of the transcription factor NF-κB, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and GLUT1-mediated glucose uptake. Vim-/- mice displayed decreased atherogenesis despite increased vascular inflammation and increased CD36 expression on macrophages in two mouse models of atherosclerosis. We demonstrate that vimentin has a strong suppressive effect on oxidative stress and that Vim-/- mice display increased vascular inflammation with increased CD36 expression on macrophages despite decreased subendothelial lipid accumulation. Thus, vimentin has a key role in regulating inflammation in macrophages during atherogenesis.

Abstract
A hallmark of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the presence of intracellular lipid droplets (LD) and it is assumed that phosphatidic acid (PA) produced by phospholipase D (PLD) plays some role in the LD formation. However, little is known about the significance of PLD in ccRCC. In this study, we examined the expression levels of PLD in ccRCC. The classical mammalian isoforms of PLD are PLD1 and PLD2, and the levels of both mRNA were higher at the primary tumor sites than in normal kidney tissues. Similarly, both PLD were significantly abundant in tumor cells as determined by analysis using immunohistochemical staining. Importantly, a higher level of PLD was significantly associated with a higher tumor stage and grade. Because PLD2 knockdown effectively suppressed the cell proliferation and invasion of ccRCC as compared with PLD1 in vitro, we examined the effect of PLD2 in vivo. Notably, shRNA-mediated knockdown of PLD2 suppressed the growth and invasion of tumors in nude mouse xenograft models. Moreover, the higher expression of PLD2 was significantly associated with poorer prognosis in 67 patients. As for genes relating to the tumor invasion of PLD2, we found that angiogenin (ANG) was positively regulated by PLD2. In fact, the expression levels of ANG were elevated in tumor tissues as compared with normal kidney and the inhibition of ANG activity with a neutralizing antibody significantly suppressed tumor invasion. Overall, we revealed for the first time that PLD2-produced PA promoted cell invasion through the expression of ANG in ccRCC cells.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence indicates that exposure to environmental chemicals can contribute to the etiology of obesity by inappropriately stimulating adipogenesis as well as perturbing lipid metabolism and energy balance. One potential mechanism by which chemical exposure can influence lipid metabolism is through disturbance of circadian rhythms, endogenously-driven cycles of roughly 24hr in length that coordinate biochemical, physiological, and behavioral processes in all organisms. Here we show for the first time that exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), including the pesticide tributyltin, two commercial flame retardants, and a UV-filter chemical found in sunscreens, can perturb both circadian clocks and lipid metabolism in vertebrates. Exposure of developing zebrafish to EDCs affects core clock activity and leads to a remarkable increase in lipid accumulation that is reminiscent of the effects observed for longdaysin, a known disruptor of circadian rhythms. Our data reveal a novel obesogenic mechanism of action for environmental chemicals, an observation which warrants further research. Because circadian clocks regulate a wide variety of physiological processes, identification of environmental chemicals capable of perturbing these systems may provide important insights into the development of environmentally-induced metabolic disease.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity has been proposed to facilitate multiple steps in cancer progression including growth, metabolism, angiogenesis, and mobility. The canonical enzymes PLD1 and PLD2 enact their diverse effects through hydrolyzing the membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine to generate the second messenger and signaling lipid phosphatidic acid (PA). However, the widespread expression of PLD1 and PLD2 in normal tissues and the additional distinct enzymatic mechanisms through which PA can be generated have produced uncertainty regarding the optimal settings in which PLD inhibition might ameliorate cancer. Recent studies in mouse model systems have demonstrated that inhibition or elimination of PLD activity reduces tumor growth and metastasis. One mechanism proposed for this outcome involves proliferative signaling mediated by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), which is attenuated when downstream PLD signal propagation is suppressed. The reduced proliferative signaling has been reported to be compounded by dysfunctional energetic metabolism in the tumor cells under conditions of nutrient deprivation. Moreover, cancer cells lacking PLD activity display inefficiencies across multiple steps of the metastatic cascade, limiting the tumor's lethal spread. Using PLD isoform knockout mice, recent studies have reported on the net effects of inhibition and ablation in multiple cancer models through examining the role of PLD in the non-tumor cells comprising the stroma and microenvironment. The promising results of such in vivo studies, combined with the apparent low toxicity of highly-specific and potent inhibitors, highlights PLD as an attractive target for therapeutic inhibition in cancer. We discuss here the array of anti-tumor effects produced by PLD inhibition and ablation in cancer models with a focus on animal studies.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular stores of neutral fat that facilitate lipid and protein trafficking in response to metabolic cues. Unlike other vesicles, the phospholipid membrane on the LD is a monolayer. Interestingly, this monolayer membrane has free cholesterol, and may therefore contain lipid microdomains that serve as a platform for assembling proteins involved in signal transduction, cell polarity, pathogen entry etc. In support of this, cell culture studies have detected microdomain-associated "raftophilic" proteins on LDs. However, the physiological significance of this observation has been unclear. Here we show that two proteins (Flotillin-1 and SNAP23) that bind to membrane microdomains associate differently with LDs purified from rat liver depending on the feeding/fasting state of the animal. Flotillin-1 increases on LDs in the fed state, possibly because LDs interact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), facilitating supply of flotillin-1 from ER to LDs. Interestingly, this increase in flotillin-1 is correlated with an increase in free cholesterol on the LDs in fed state. In opposite behaviour to flotillin-1, SNAP23 increases on LDs in the fasted state and this appears to mediate LD-mitochondria interactions. Such LD-mitochondria interactions may provide fatty acids to mitochondria for promoting beta-oxidation in hepatocytes in response to fasting. Our work brings out physiologically relevant aspects of lipid droplet biology that are different from, and may not be entirely possible to replicate and study in cell culture.

Abstract
Oil bodies (OBs) are relatively simple but very important organelles comprising a matrix of triacylglycerol (TAG) surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer embedded and covered with unique proteins. The OB structure in Brassica napus with different oil content and the relationship between the oil content and the OB structure needs to be better understood. In this paper, the characteristics of OBs in the embryo of a series of B. napus materials with different oil content ranging from 34% to over 60% were studied. The results indicated that the OB size was significantly positively correlated with the oil content but was significantly negatively correlated with the glucosinolates and the protein content. Many genes associated with TAG synthesis, OB-membrane proteins, and the cell progress regulatory pathway were identified in the confidence interval of co-located QTLs for oil content, fatty acid (FA) compositions, and protein content. Our results suggested that the morphology of OBs might be directly controlled by the genes associated with OB-membrane proteins and indirectly controlled by the genes associated with TAG synthesis and cell progress regulatory pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle wasting prevails in numerous diseases (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular and kidney diseases, COPD,…) and increases healthcare costs. A major clinical issue is to devise new strategies preventing muscle wasting. We hypothesized that 8-week docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation prior to fasting may preserve muscle mass in vivo. METHODS Six-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed a DHA-enriched or a control diet for 8 weeks and then fasted for 48 h. RESULTS Feeding mice a DHA-enriched diet prior to fasting elevated muscle glycogen contents, reduced muscle wasting, blocked the 55% decrease in Akt phosphorylation, and reduced by 30-40% the activation of AMPK, ubiquitination, or autophagy. The DHA-enriched diet fully abolished the fasting induced-messenger RNA (mRNA) over-expression of the endocannabinoid receptor-1. Finally, DHA prevented or modulated the fasting-dependent increase in muscle mRNA levels for Rab18, PLD1, and perilipins, which determine the formation and fate of lipid droplets, in parallel with muscle sparing. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that 8-week DHA supplementation increased energy stores that can be efficiently mobilized, and thus preserved muscle mass in response to fasting through the regulation of Akt- and AMPK-dependent signalling pathways for reducing proteolysis activation. Whether a nutritional strategy aiming at increasing energy status may shorten recovery periods in clinical settings remains to be tested.

Abstract
Phospholipase D1 (PLD1) plays a known role in several differentiation processes, but its role in adipogenic differentiation remains unknown. In the present study, we identified PLD1 as a negative regulator of adipogenic differentiation. We showed that PLD activity was downregulated by both 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) and insulin upon induction of differentiation in 3T3-L1 adipogenic cells. In line with this observation, PLD activity decreased in both high fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and ob/ob mice. We also found that differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was enhanced by the depletion of PLD1 levels or inhibition of PLD1 activity by VU0155069, a PLD1-specific inhibitor. Conversely, treatment with phosphatidic acid (PA), a PLD product, and overexpression of PLD1 both caused a decrease in adipogenic differentiation. Moreover, the elevated differentiation in PLD1-knockdown 3T3-L1 cells was reduced by either PA treatment or PLD1 expression, confirming negative roles of PLD1 and PA in adipogenic differentiation. Further investigation revealed that PA displaces DEP domain-containing mTOR-interacting protein (DEPTOR) from mTORC1, which subsequently phosphorylates insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) at serine 636/639 in 3T3-L1 cells. Taken together, our findings provide convincing evidence for a direct role of PLD1 in adipogenic differentiation by regulating IRS-1 phosphorylation at serine 636/639 through DEPTOR displacement and mTOR activation.

Abstract
Invadolysin is a novel metalloprotease conserved amongst metazoans that is essential for life in Drosophila. We previously showed that invadolysin was essential for the cell cycle and cell migration, linking to metabolism through a role in lipid storage and interaction with mitochondrial proteins. In this study we demonstrate that invadolysin mutants exhibit increased autophagy and decreased glycogen storage - suggestive of a role for invadolysin in insulin signaling in Drosophila. Consistent with this, effectors of insulin signaling were decreased in invadolysin mutants. In addition, we discovered that invadolysin was deposited on newly synthesized lipid droplets in a PKC-dependent manner. We examined two in vitro models of adipogenesis for the expression and localization of invadolysin. The level of invadolysin increased during both murine 3T3-L1 and human Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS), adipogenesis. Invadolysin displayed a dynamic localization to lipid droplets over the course of adipogenesis, which may be due to the differential expression of distinct invadolysin variants. Pharmacological inhibition of adipogenesis abrogated the increase in invadolysin. In summary, our results on in vivo and in vitro systems highlight an important role for invadolysin in insulin signaling and adipogenesis.

Abstract
Lipids have an important role in many aspects of cell biology, including membrane architecture/compartment formation, intracellular traffic, signalling, hormone regulation, inflammation, energy storage and metabolism. Lipid biology is therefore integrally involved in major human diseases, including metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, heart disease, immune disorders and cancers, which commonly display altered lipid transport and metabolism. However, the investigation of these important cellular processes has been limited by the availability of specific tools to visualise lipids in live cells. Here we describe the potential for ReZolve-L1™ to localise to intracellular compartments containing polar lipids, such as for example sphingomyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine. In live Drosophila fat body tissue from third instar larvae, ReZolve-L1™ interacted mainly with lipid droplets, including the core region of these organelles. The presence of polar lipids in the core of these lipid droplets was confirmed by Raman mapping and while this was consistent with the distribution of ReZolve-L1™ it did not exclude that the molecular probe might be detecting other lipid species. In response to complete starvation conditions, ReZolve-L1™ was detected mainly in Atg8-GFP autophagic compartments, and showed reduced staining in the lipid droplets of fat body cells. The induction of autophagy by Tor inhibition also increased ReZolve-L1™ detection in autophagic compartments, whereas Atg9 knock down impaired autophagosome formation and altered the distribution of ReZolve-L1™. Finally, during Drosophila metamorphosis fat body tissues showed increased ReZolve-L1™ staining in autophagic compartments at two hours post puparium formation, when compared to earlier developmental time points. We concluded that ReZolve-L1™ is a new live cell imaging tool, which can be used as an imaging reagent for the detection of polar lipids in different intracellular compartments.

Abstract
The accumulation of lipid droplets (LD) is frequently observed in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and represents an important risk factor for the development of liver steatosis and cirrhosis. The mechanisms of LD biogenesis and growth remain open questions. Here, transcriptome analysis reveals a significant upregulation of septin 9 in HCV-induced cirrhosis compared with the normal liver. HCV infection increases septin 9 expression and induces its assembly into filaments. Septin 9 regulates LD growth and perinuclear accumulation in a manner dependent on dynamic microtubules. The effects of septin 9 on LDs are also dependent on binding to PtdIns5P, which, in turn, controls the formation of septin 9 filaments and its interaction with microtubules. This previously undescribed cooperation between PtdIns5P and septin 9 regulates oleate-induced accumulation of LDs. Overall, our data offer a novel route for LD growth through the involvement of a septin 9/PtdIns5P signalling pathway.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles closely mimic human very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) to evade humoral immunity and to facilitate cell entry. However, the principles that govern HCV association with VLDL components are poorly defined. Using an siRNA screen, we identified ABHD5 (α/β hydrolase domain containing protein 5, also known as CGI-58) as a new host factor promoting both virus assembly and release. ABHD5 associated with lipid droplets and triggered their hydrolysis. Importantly, ABHD5 Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome mutants responsible for a rare lipid storage disorder in humans were mislocalised, and unable to consume lipid droplets or support HCV production. Additional ABHD5 mutagenesis revealed a novel tribasic motif that does not influence subcellular localization but determines both ABHD5 lipolytic and proviral properties. These results indicate that HCV taps into the lipid droplet triglyceride reservoir usurping ABHD5 lipase cofactor function. They also suggest that the resulting lipid flux, normally devoted to VLDL synthesis, also participates in the assembly and release of the HCV lipo-viro-particle. Altogether, our study provides the first association between the Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome protein and an infectious disease and sheds light on the hepatic manifestations of this rare genetic disorder as well as on HCV morphogenesis. HCV replication is linked to the host lipid metabolism, and virions are secreted as lipo-viro-particles whose density, size and biochemical content resemble VLDL. HCV assembles close to lipid droplets and is released via the secretory pathway, but it remains unclear how it accesses the VLDL assembly pathway. In this study, we identified ABHD5 as a new host factor supporting HCV assembly and release. ABHD5 is a lipid droplet-associated lipase cofactor. In hepatocytes, ABHD5 was proposed to promote the recruitment of triglycerides from cytosolic towards luminal lipid droplets by mediating a cycle of phospholipid hydrolysis/re-esterification. Our data suggest that this ABHD5-dependent lipid transfer is not only required for VLDL maturation, but also for HCV assembly and virion release, indicating that lipid remodelling impacts on both assembly and virus transport. Finally, ABHD5 is associated with the Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a rare human genetic lipid metabolism disorder. We found that the Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome mutants were unable to support HCV assembly, pointing at a new host polymorphism that could determine susceptibility to HCV infection. Altogether, our results establish a new link between HCV, VLDL assembly and lipid remodeling pathways and open new possibilities to study the etiology of the liver manifestations of the Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular oil-in-water emulsion droplets, covered by a phospholipid monolayer and mainly present in the cytosol. Despite their important role in cellular metabolism and growing number of newly identified functions, LD formation mechanism from the endoplasmic reticulum remains poorly understood. To form a LD, the oil molecules synthesized in the ER accumulate between the monolayer leaflets and induce deformation of the membrane. This formation process works through three steps: nucleation, growth and budding, exactly as in phase separation and dewetting phenomena. These steps involve sequential biophysical membrane remodeling mechanisms for which we present basic tools of statistical physics, membrane biophysics, and soft matter science underlying them. We aim to highlight relevant factors that could control LD formation size, site and number through this physics description. An emphasis will be given to a currently underestimated contribution of the molecular interactions between lipids to favor an energetically costless mechanism of LD formation.

Abstract
Visualization of nascent lipid droplets reveals that they form lens-like structures inside the ER membrane bilayer and that FIT proteins are necessary for lipid droplet protrusion toward the cytoplasm. Lipid droplets (LDs) are found in all cells and play critical roles in lipid metabolism. De novo LD biogenesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but is not well understood. We imaged early stages of LD biogenesis using electron microscopy and found that nascent LDs form lens-like structures that are in the ER membrane, raising the question of how these nascent LDs bud from the ER as they grow. We found that a conserved family of proteins, fat storage-inducing transmembrane (FIT) proteins, is required for proper budding of LDs from the ER. Elimination or reduction of FIT proteins in yeast and higher eukaryotes causes LDs to remain in the ER membrane. Deletion of the single FIT protein in Caenorhabditis elegans is lethal, suggesting that LD budding is an essential process in this organism. Our findings indicated that FIT proteins are necessary to promote budding of nascent LDs from the ER.

The brown adipocyte protein CIDEA promotes lipid droplet fusion via a phosphatidic acid-binding amphipathic helix. eLife 2015; 4:e07485.

Abstract
Maintenance of energy homeostasis depends on the highly regulated storage and release of triacylglycerol primarily in adipose tissue, and excessive storage is a feature of common metabolic disorders. CIDEA is a lipid droplet (LD)-protein enriched in brown adipocytes promoting the enlargement of LDs, which are dynamic, ubiquitous organelles specialized for storing neutral lipids. We demonstrate an essential role in this process for an amphipathic helix in CIDEA, which facilitates embedding in the LD phospholipid monolayer and binds phosphatidic acid (PA). LD pairs are docked by CIDEA trans-complexes through contributions of the N-terminal domain and a C-terminal dimerization region. These complexes, enriched at the LD–LD contact site, interact with the cone-shaped phospholipid PA and likely increase phospholipid barrier permeability, promoting LD fusion by transference of lipids. This physiological process is essential in adipocyte differentiation as well as serving to facilitate the tight coupling of lipolysis and lipogenesis in activated brown fat. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.07485.001 If other energy sources become unavailable, cells fall back on stores of fatty molecules called lipids. These are held in membrane-enclosed compartments in the cell called lipid droplets, which in mammals are particularly abundant in fat cells called adipocytes. There are two main types of adipocytes: white adipocytes have a single giant lipid droplet, whereas brown adipocytes contain many smaller droplets. Proteins embedded in the membrane that surrounds a lipid droplet help to control the droplet’s growth and when it releases lipids. For example, a protein called CIDEA, which is only found in brown adipocytes, helps lipid droplets to grow by enabling one droplet to transfer its contents to another droplet. However, little is known about how this occurs. By combining cell biology, biophysical and computer modelling approaches, Barneda et al. investigated how normal and mutant forms of CIDEA affect the growth of lipid droplets. These experiments identified a helix in the structure of CIDEA that embeds it in the membrane, from where it can then interact with CIDEA proteins on other lipid droplets to hold the droplets together. In addition, the helix interacts with a molecule in the lipid droplet membrane called phosphatidic acid. Barneda et al. suggest that this interaction helps to transfer the contents of one droplet to another by making it easier for lipids to move through the droplets’ membranes. The next challenge is to characterize the mechanisms that control CIDEA activity to influence the formation of the multiple lipid droplets that distinguish brown and BRITE (brown-in-white) adipocytes from white adipocytes. The lipid droplets in brown adipocytes are an important target for research to combat obesity, due to the 'burning' rather than storing of lipids that occurs in these cells.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms that lead to the progression of alcoholic liver disease have been actively examined for decades. Because the hepatic microtubule cytoskeleton supports innumerable cellular processes, it has been the focus of many such mechanistic studies. It has long been appreciated that α-tubulin is a major target for modification by highly reactive ethanol metabolites and reactive oxygen species. It is also now apparent that alcohol exposure induces post-translational modifications that are part of the natural repertoire, mainly acetylation. In this review, the modifications of the "tubulin code" are described as well as those adducts by ethanol metabolites. The potential cellular consequences of microtubule modification are described with a focus on alcohol-induced defects in protein trafficking and enhanced steatosis. Possible mechanisms that can explain hepatic dysfunction are described and how this relates to the onset of liver injury is discussed. Finally, we propose that agents that alter the cellular acetylation state may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for treating liver disease.

Abstract
Mechanisms of milk lipid secretion are highly controversial. Analyzing the fine protein composition of the "milk fat globule membrane" (MFGM), the triple-layered membrane surrounding milk lipid droplets (LDs) can provide mechanistic clues to better understand LD biosynthesis and secretion pathways in mammary epithelial cells (MECs). We therefore combined a high-sensitive Q-Exactive LC-MS/MS analysis of MFGM-derived peptides to the use of an in-house database intended to improve protein identification in the goat species. Using this approach, we performed the identification of 442 functional groups of proteins in the MFGM from goat milk. To get a more dynamic view of intracellular mechanisms driving LD dynamics in the MECs, we decided to investigate for the first time whether MFGM proteins were phosphorylated. MFGM proteins were sequentially digested by lysine-C and trypsin proteases and the resulting peptides were fractionated by a strong cation exchange chromatography. Titanium beads were used to enrich phosphopeptides from strong cation exchange chromatography eluted fractions. This approach lets us pinpoint 271 sites of phosphorylation on 124 unique goat MFGM proteins. Enriched GO terms associated with phosphorylated MFGM proteins were protein transport and actin cytoskeleton organization. Gained data are discussed with regard to lipid secretory mechanisms in the MECs. All MS data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD001039 (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org/dataset/PXD001039).

Abstract
The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is a major human pathogen and a main cause of genital and ocular diseases. During its intracellular cycle, C. trachomatis replicates inside a membrane-bound vacuole termed an “inclusion”. Acquisition of lipids (and other nutrients) from the host cell is a critical step in chlamydial replication. Lipid droplets (LD) are ubiquitous, ER-derived neutral lipid-rich storage organelles surrounded by a phospholipids monolayer and associated proteins. Previous studies have shown that LDs accumulate at the periphery of, and eventually translocate into, the chlamydial inclusion. These observations point out to Chlamydia-mediated manipulation of LDs in infected cells, which may impact the function and thereby the protein composition of these organelles. By means of a label-free quantitative mass spectrometry approach we found that the LD proteome is modified in the context of C. trachomatis infection. We determined that LDs isolated from C. trachomatis-infected cells were enriched in proteins related to lipid metabolism, biosynthesis and LD-specific functions. Interestingly, consistent with the observation that LDs intimately associate with the inclusion, a subset of inclusion membrane proteins co-purified with LD protein extracts. Finally, genetic ablation of LDs negatively affected generation of C. trachomatis infectious progeny, consistent with a role for LD biogenesis in optimal chlamydial growth.

Abstract
The classical regard of lipid droplets as mere static energy-storage organelles has evolved dramatically. Nowadays these organelles are known to participate in key processes of cell homeostasis, and their abnormal regulation is linked to several disorders including metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis or hepatic steatosis), inflammatory responses in leukocytes, cancer development and neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, the importance of unraveling the cell mechanisms controlling lipid droplet biosynthesis, homeostasis and degradation seems evident Phospholipase A2s, a family of enzymes whose common feature is to hydrolyze the fatty acid present at the sn-2 position of phospholipids, play pivotal roles in cell signaling and inflammation. These enzymes have recently emerged as key regulators of lipid droplet homeostasis, regulating their formation at different levels. This review summarizes recent results on the roles that various phospholipase A2 forms play in the regulation of lipid droplet biogenesis under different conditions. These roles expand the already wide range of functions that these enzymes play in cell physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Mutations in SPAST, encoding spastin, are the most common cause of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). HSP is characterized by weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs, owing to progressive retrograde degeneration of the long corticospinal axons. Spastin is a conserved microtubule (MT)-severing protein, involved in processes requiring rearrangement of the cytoskeleton in concert to membrane remodeling, such as neurite branching, axonal growth, midbody abscission, and endosome tubulation. Two isoforms of spastin are synthesized from alternative initiation codons (M1 and M87). We now show that spastin-M1 can sort from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to pre- and mature lipid droplets (LDs). A hydrophobic motif comprised of amino acids 57 through 86 of spastin was sufficient to direct a reporter protein to LDs, while mutation of arginine 65 to glycine abolished LD targeting. Increased levels of spastin-M1 expression reduced the number but increased the size of LDs. Expression of a mutant unable to bind and sever MTs caused clustering of LDs. Consistent with these findings, ubiquitous overexpression of Dspastin in Drosophila led to bigger and less numerous LDs in the fat bodies and increased triacylglycerol levels. In contrast, Dspastin overexpression increased LD number when expressed specifically in skeletal muscles or nerves. Downregulation of Dspastin and expression of a dominant-negative variant decreased LD number in Drosophila nerves, skeletal muscle and fat bodies, and reduced triacylglycerol levels in the larvae. Moreover, we found reduced amount of fat stores in intestinal cells of worms in which the spas-1 homologue was either depleted by RNA interference or deleted. Taken together, our data uncovers an evolutionarily conserved role of spastin as a positive regulator of LD metabolism and open up the possibility that dysfunction of LDs in axons may contribute to the pathogenesis of HSP. Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a genetically heterogeneous neurological disease characterized by weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs, caused by progressive retrograde degeneration of the corticospinal axons, the longest in the central nervous system. The most commonly mutated gene in autosomal dominant forms of HSP, SPAST, encodes for spastin, a microtubule-severing protein. Spastin has been implicated in several processes involving remodeling of membrane structures. We now show that the longest spastin form, spastin-M1, harbors a lipid droplet targeting sequence, which allows targeting of the protein to the surface of lipid droplets, the organelles where cells store neutral lipids. Furthermore, we demonstrate that depletion of the homologous spastin proteins in both flies and worms affects lipid droplet number and triacylglycerol content. Our study adds to recent discoveries that implicate other HSP proteins in lipid droplet and lipid metabolism, and strongly suggests that lipid droplet dysfunction in neurons should be investigated to understand pathogenesis of HSP.
