Abstract
One main mechanism of insulin resistance (IR), a key feature of type 2 diabetes, is the accumulation of saturated fatty acids (FAs) in the muscles of obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Understanding the mechanism that underlies lipid-induced IR is an important challenge. Saturated FAs are metabolized into lipid derivatives called ceramides, and their accumulation plays a central role in the development of muscle IR. Ceramides are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to the Golgi apparatus through a transporter called CERT, where they are converted into various sphingolipid species. We show that CERT protein expression is reduced in all IR models studied because of a caspase-dependent cleavage. Inhibiting CERT activity in vitro potentiates the deleterious action of lipotoxicity on insulin signaling, whereas overexpression of CERT in vitro or in vivo decreases muscle ceramide content and improves insulin signaling. In addition, inhibition of caspase activity prevents ceramide-induced insulin signaling defects in C2C12 muscle cells. Altogether, these results demonstrate the importance of physiological ER-to-Golgi ceramide traffic to preserve muscle cell insulin signaling and identify CERT as a major actor in this process.

Abstract
Adipose tissue lipoatrophy caused by caveolin gene deletion in mice is not linked to defective adipocyte differentiation. We show that adipose tissue development cannot be rescued by endothelial specific caveolin-1 re-expression, indicating primordial role of caveolin in mature adipocytes. Partial or total caveolin deficiency in adipocytes induced broad protein expression defects, including but not limited to previously described downregulation of insulin receptor. Global alterations in protein turnover, and accelerated degradation of long-lived proteins were found in caveolin-deficient adipocytes. Lipidation of endogenous LC3 autophagy marker and distribution of GFP-LC3 into aggregates demonstrated activated autophagy in the absence of caveolin-1 in adipocytes. Furthermore, electron microscopy revealed autophagic vacuoles in caveolin-1 deficient but not control adipocytes. Surprisingly, significant levels of lipidated LC3-II were found around lipid droplets of normal adipocytes, maintained in nutrient-rich conditions or isolated from fed mice, which do not display autophagy. Altogether, these data indicate that caveolin deficiency induce autophagy in adipocytes, a feature that is not a physiological response to fasting in normal fat cells. This likely resulted from defective insulin and lipolytic responses that converge in chronic nutrient shortage in adipocytes lacking caveolin-1. This is the first report of a pathological situation with autophagy as an adaptative response to adipocyte failure.

Abstract
Caveolins form plasmalemnal invaginated caveolae. They also locate around intracellular lipid droplets but their role in this location remains unclear. By studying primary adipocytes that highly express caveolin-1, we characterized the impact of caveolin-1 deficiency on lipid droplet proteome and lipidome. We identified several missing proteins on the lipid droplet surface of caveolin-deficient adipocytes and showed that the caveolin-1 lipid droplet pool is organized as multi-protein complexes containing cavin-1, with similar dynamics as those found in caveolae. On the lipid side, caveolin deficiency did not qualitatively alter neutral lipids in lipid droplet, but significantly reduced the relative abundance of surface phospholipid species: phosphatidylserine and lysophospholipids. Caveolin-deficient adipocytes can form only small lipid droplets, suggesting that the caveolin-lipid droplet pool might be involved in lipid droplet size regulation. Accordingly, we show that caveolin-1 concentration on adipocyte lipid droplets positively correlated with lipid droplet size in obese rodent models and human adipocytes. Moreover, rescue experiments by caveolin- green fluorescent protein in caveolin-deficient cells exposed to fatty acid overload demonstrated that caveolin-coated lipid droplets were able to grow larger than caveolin-devoid lipid droplets. Altogether, these data demonstrate that the lipid droplet-caveolin pool impacts on phospholipid and protein surface composition of lipid droplets and suggest a functional role on lipid droplet expandability.

Abstract
Using subtractive hybridization technique in 3T3-L1 adipocytes overexpressing constitutively active SREBP2, we have identified a DnaJ/Hsp40 chaperone, DnaJA4, as a new SREBP-responsive gene. SREBP2 regulation was demonstrated by changes in DnaJA4 mRNA under conditions of altered sterol status that were strictly parallel to that of well-characterized SREBP targets (LDL receptor and HMG-CoA reductase). The role of SREBP2 was further established using adenoviral overexpression of a dominant negative SREBP2, which abolished cholesterol-regulated changes in DnaJA4 expression. To determine the functional significance of this regulation, DnaJA4 was overexpressed in COS cells, which induced a specific increase in the synthesis of cholesterol from acetate. We also observed that DnaJA4 overexpression increased the activity and the protein content of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate limiting enzyme in this pathway. At the molecular level, DnaJA4 overexpression did not alter HMG-CoA reductase stability or mRNA levels, suggesting a co-translational effect of the chaperone. In the DnaJ/Hsp40 family, DnaJA4 uniquely exhibited SREBP-regulated expression, and also responded to heat shock. Through its responsiveness to SREBP, and its stimulatory effect on cholesterol synthesis, the DnaJA4 chaperone can be viewed as a new player in cholesterol synthesis. These data suggest a link between molecular chaperones, heat stress and cholesterol synthesis.

Abstract
Scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of lipids from high density lipoproteins and is expressed in several types of tissues. However, to date little is known about its role in adipocytes. In this study, we investigated the cellular distribution of SR-BI in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and its regulation by hormones known to increase lipid storage such as angiotensin II (Ang II) and insulin. SR-BI was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm as determined by laser-scanning confocal analysis of the immunofluorescence labeling of SR-BI or the study of an enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged SR-BI fusion protein. Exposure of cells to either insulin or Ang II (1-2 h) induced the mobilization of SR-BI from intracellular pools to the plasma membrane. This was further confirmed by Western blotting on purified plasma membrane and by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis of the SR-BI receptor. Similar results were also observed in primary adipocytes. We also demonstrated that, in the presence of either insulin or Ang II, SR-BI translocation to the cell membrane is functional, because insulin and Ang II induced a significant increase in the high density lipoprotein-delivered 22-(N-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazo-4-yl)-amino-23,24-bisnor-5-cholen-3-ol uptake and in total cholesterol content. These data demonstrate that SR-BI can be acutely mobilized from intracellular stores to the cell surface by insulin or Ang II, two hormones that exert lipogenic effects in adipocytes. This suggests that SR-BI might participate in the storage of lipids in the adipose tissue.

Abstract
Adipose cells specialized in energy storage, contain large intracellular triglyceride-rich lipid droplets, are enriched with free cholesterol, and express sterol-regulated transcription factors such as liver X receptor (LXR). The recent identification of the LXR-dependent ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) pathway for cholesterol release from peripheral cells has led us to address the question of the expression and function of ABCA1 in adipocytes. In 3T3-L1 adipose cells, we observed a strong induction of ABCA1 mRNA during adipose differentiation, but only limited variations in ABCA1 protein. Lipid efflux onto apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), which depends on ABCA1, was comparable in adipocytes and preadipocytes, demonstrating a differential regulation of ABCA1 mRNA and cholesterol efflux. We also found that total cell cholesterol remained stable during differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells, but membrane cholesterol was lower in adipocytes than in preadipocytes, suggesting redistribution of cholesterol to the lipid droplet. Finally, we show that under standard lipolytic stimulation, 3T3-L1 adipocytes do not release cholesterol onto apoA-I, a process that required long exposures to lipolytic agents (24 h). In conclusion, despite large induction of ABCA1 mRNA during differentiation, cholesterol efflux through the ABCA1 pathway remains limited in adipocytes and requires prolonged lipolysis. This is consistent with the view of the adipocyte behaving as a cholesterol sink, with plasma cholesterol-buffering properties.

Abstract
We show that Id (inhibitor of DNA binding) 2 and Id3, dominant negative members of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) family, interact with the adipocyte determination and differentiation factor 1 (ADD1)/sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) 1c, a transcription factor of the basic HLH-leucine zipper family that controls the expression of several key genes of adipose metabolism. Gel mobility-shift assays performed with in vitro-translated ADD1, Id2 or Id3 proteins and a fatty acid synthase (FAS) promoter oligonucleotide showed evidence for a marked inhibition of the formation of DNA-ADD1 complexes by Id2 or Id3 proteins. Co-immunoprecipitation studies using in vitro-translated proteins demonstrated further the physical interaction of Id and ADD1/SREBP-1c proteins in the absence of DNA. Using the FAS gene as a model of an ADD1-regulated promoter in transiently transfected isolated rat adipocytes or mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes, a potent inhibition of the activity of the FAS-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene was observed by overexpression of Id2 or Id3. Reciprocally, co-transfection of Id3 antisense and ADD1 expression vectors in preadipocytes potentiated the ADD1/SREBP-1c effect on the FAS promoter activity. Finally, in the non adipogenic NIH-3T3 cell line, most of the ADD1-mediated trans-activation of the FAS promoter was counteracted by co-transfection of Id2 or Id3 expression vectors. Previous studies have indicated Id gene expression to be down-regulated during adipogenesis [Moldes, Lasnier, Fève, Pairault and Djian (1997) Mol. Cell. Biol. 17, 1796-1804]. We here demonstrated that there was a dramatic rise of Id2 and Id3 mRNA levels when 3T3-L1 adipocytes or isolated rat fat cells were exposed to lipolytic and anti-lipogenic agents, forskolin and isoproterenol. Taken together, our data show that Id products are functionally involved in modulating ADD1/SREBP-1c transcriptional activity, and thus lipogenesis in adipocytes.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the proximal 2-kb sequence of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) promoter transfected into rat adipocytes was highly sensitive to the cellular context, displaying an overactivity in obese (fa/fa) versus lean Zucker rat adipocytes. Using deletional analysis, we show here that FAS promoter activity mainly depends on a region from -200 to -126. This sequence exerts a strong negative effect on FAS promoter in adipocytes from lean rats but not in those from obese rats, resulting in a marked overtranscriptional activity in the latter cells. This region, fused to a heterologous promoter, the E1b TATA box, induced differential levels of gene reporter activity in lean and obese rat adipocytes, indicating it harbors fa-responsive element(s). Whatever the rat genotype, adipocyte nuclear proteins were shown to footprint the same protected sequence within the fa-responsive region, and supershift analysis demonstrated that Sp1 or Sp1-like proteins were bound to this DNA subregion. Compelling evidence that the Sp1 binding site contained in this sequence was implicated in the differential promoter activity in lean versus obese rats, was provided by the observation that mutations at this Sp1 site induced a 2.5-fold increase in FAS promoter activity in adipocytes from lean rats, whereas they had no effect in adipocytes from obese rats.
