Project description:Therapeutic methods to modulate skin pigmentation has important implications for skin cancer prevention and for treating cutaneous hyperpigmentary conditions. Towards defining new potential targets, we followed temporal dynamics of melanogenesis using a cell-autonomous pigmentation model. Our study elucidates 3 dominant phases of synchronized metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming. The melanogenic trigger is associated with high MITF levels along with rapid uptake of glucose. The transition to pigmented state is accompanied by increased glucose channelisation to anabolic pathways that support melanosome biogenesis. SREBF1-mediated up-regulation of fatty acid synthesis results in a transient accumulation of lipid droplets and enhancement of fatty acids oxidation through mitochondrial respiration. While this heightened bioenergetic activity is important to sustain melanogenesis, it impairs mitochondria lately, shifting the metabolism towards glycolysis. This recovery phase is accompanied by activation of the NRF2 detoxication pathway. Finally, we show that inhibitors of lipid metabolism can resolve hyperpigmentary conditions in a guinea pig UV-tanning model. Our study reveals rewiring of the metabolic circuit during melanogenesis, and fatty acid metabolism as a potential therapeutic target in a variety of cutaneous diseases manifesting hyperpigmentary phenotype.

Project description:Background: Armadillo repeat containing 5 (ARMC5)-CUL3 complex was recently identified as an E3 ubiquitin ligase of full-length SREBF. Although ARMC5 was involved in SREBF2 pathway in the adrenocortical cells and might participate in the development of primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH), the role of ARMC5 in adipocytes has not been investigated. Methods and Results: Adipocyte-specific Armc5 knockout mice were generated. In the white adipose tissue (WAT) of these mice, all the stearoyl-CoA desaturase (Scd) were drastically downregulated under refed condition and high fat-high sucrose diet. Consistently, unsaturated fatty acids were decreased, while saturated fatty acids were increased in the WAT of these mice. Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-Seq) peaks at the SREBF1-binding sites were markedly diminished around the Scd1 locus in the WAT of adipocyte-specific Armc5 knockout mice. Armc5-deficient 3T3-L1 adipocytes also exhibited downregulation of Scd. Mechanistically, disruption of Armc5 restored decreased full-length SREBF1 in the CHO cells deficient for Scap, an escort protein required for the transport of SREBF from the ER to the Golgi. In HEK293T cells, overexpression of Scap inhibited ARMC5-mediated degradation of full-length SREBF1, and overexpression of Armc5 increased nuclear SREBF1/full-length SREBF1 ratio in the presence of exogenous Scap in HEK293T cells. Conclusions: ARMC5 exerts selective removal of SCAP-free SREBF1 and stimulates SCAP-mediated SREBF1 processing, hence is essential for fatty acid desaturation in vivo.

Project description:Cancer cells often have characteristic changes in metabolism. Cellular proliferation, a common feature of all cancers, requires fatty acids for synthesis of membranes and signaling molecules. Here, we provide a view of cancer cell metabolism from a lipid perspective, and we summarize evidence that limiting fatty acid availability can control cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:The emergence of bone as an endocrine organ able to influence whole body metabolism, together with comorbid epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and osteoporosis, have prompted a renewed interest in the intermediary metabolism of the osteoblast. To date, most studies have focused on the utilization of glucose by this specialized cell, but the oxidation of fatty acids results in a larger energy yield. Osteoblasts express the requisite receptors and catabolic enzymes to take up and then metabolize fatty acids, which appears to be required during later stages of differentiation when the osteoblast is dedicated to matrix production and mineralization. In this article, we provide an overview of fatty acid ?-oxidation and highlight studies demonstrating that the skeleton plays a significant role in the clearance of circulating lipoproteins and non-esterified fatty acids. Additionally, we review the requirement for long-chain fatty acid metabolism during post-natal bone development and the effects of anabolic stimuli on fatty acid utilization by osteoblasts. These recent findings may help to explain the skeletal manifestations of human diseases associated with impaired lipid metabolism while also providing additional insights into the metabolic requirements of skeletal homeostasis.

Project description:The endothelium is a monolayer of cells lining the inner blood vessels. Endothelial cells (ECs) play indispensable roles in angiogenesis, homeostasis, and immune response under normal physiological conditions, and their dysfunction is closely associated with pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal EC metabolism, especially dysfunctional fatty acid (FA) metabolism, contributes to the development of many diseases including pulmonary hypertension (PH). In this review, we focus on discussing the latest advances in FA metabolism in ECs under normal and pathological conditions with an emphasis on PH. We also highlight areas of research that warrant further investigation.

Project description:As classical agonists for peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), fibrates activate renal fatty acid metabolism (FAM) and provide renoprotection. However, fibrate prescription is limited in patients with kidney disease, since impaired urinary excretion of the drug causes serious adverse effects. Pemafibrate (PEM), a novel selective PPARα modulator, is mainly excreted in bile, and, thus, may be safe and effective in kidney disease patients. It remains unclear, however, whether PEM actually exhibits renoprotective properties. We investigated this issue using mice with fatty acid overload nephropathy (FAON). PEM (0.5 mg/kg body weight/day) or a vehicle was administered for 20 days to 13-week-old wild-type male mice, which were simultaneously injected with free fatty acid (FFA)-binding bovine serum albumin from day 7 to day 20 to induce FAON. All mice were sacrificed on day 20 for assessment of the renoprotective effect of PEM against FAON. PEM significantly attenuated the histological findings of tubular injury caused by FAON, increased the renal expressions of mRNA and proteins related to FAM, and decreased renal FFA content and oxidative stress. Taken together, PEM exhibits renoprotective effects through the activation and maintenance of renal FAM and represents a promising drug for kidney disease.

Project description:Sorbic acid (SA) is one of the most commonly used food preservatives worldwide. Despite SA having no hepatotoxicity at legal dosages, its effect on hepatic lipid metabolism is still unclear. We investigated the effect of SA on hepatic lipid metabolism and its mechanism of action in C57BL/6 mice. Daily treatment with SA (1 g/kg in diet) for 4 weeks did not alter the body weight, organ weight, and blood lipids in mice. However, hepatic lipid accumulation, particularly that of triglycerides, fatty acids, and glycerol, but not cholesteryl ester and free cholesterol, was increased with SA treatment. Mechanistically, SA decreased the expression of proteins related to de novo fatty acid lipogenesis, fatty acid internalization, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion-related pathways, including sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, acetyl-coA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, liver fatty acid-binding protein, CD36, and apolipoprotein E. In contrast, SA increased the expression of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2, the key enzyme for triacylglycerol synthesis. Moreover, SA downregulated the protein expression of autophagy-related and β-oxidation-related pathways, the two major metabolic pathways for lipid metabolism, including LC-3, beclin-1, autophagy related protein 5 (ATG-5) and ATG-7, acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 1, carnitine palmitoyltransferase Iα, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), PPARγ, and PPARγ coactivator-1. Collectively, SA deregulates de novo lipogenesis and fatty acid internalization, VLDL secretion, autophagy, and β-oxidation in the liver, leading to impaired lipid clearance and ultimately, resulting in lipid accumulation in the liver.

Project description:While certain archaea appear to synthesize and/or metabolize fatty acids, the respective pathways still remain obscure. By analysing the genomic distribution of the key lipid-related enzymes, we were able to identify the likely components of the archaeal pathway of fatty acid metabolism, namely, a combination of the enzymes of bacterial-type ?-oxidation of fatty acids [acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA hydratase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase] with paralogs of the archaeal acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase, an enzyme of the mevalonate biosynthesis pathway. These three ?-oxidation enzymes working in the reverse direction could potentially catalyse biosynthesis of fatty acids, with paralogs of acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase performing addition of C2 fragments. The presence in archaea of the genes for energy-transducing membrane enzyme complexes, such as cytochrome bc complex, cytochrome c oxidase and diverse rhodopsins, was found to correlate with the presence of the proposed system of fatty acid biosynthesis. We speculate that because these membrane complexes functionally depend on fatty acid chains, their genes could have been acquired via lateral gene transfer from bacteria only by those archaea that already possessed a system of fatty acid biosynthesis. The proposed pathway of archaeal fatty acid metabolism operates in extreme conditions and therefore might be of interest in the context of biofuel production and other industrial applications.

Project description:Fatty acid metabolism, including the de novo synthesis, uptake, oxidation, and derivation of fatty acids, plays several important roles at cellular and organ levels. Recent studies have identified characteristic changes in fatty acid metabolism in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lungs, which implicates its dysregulation in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Here, we review the evidence for how fatty acid metabolism contributes to the development of pulmonary fibrosis, focusing on the profibrotic processes associated with specific types of lung cells, including epithelial cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts. We also summarize the potential therapeutics that target this metabolic pathway in treating IPF.
