Lipid droplets are a metabolic vulnerability in melanoma

ABSTRACT: Melanoma exhibits numerous transcriptional cell states including neural crest-like cells as well as pigmented melanocytic cells. How these different cell states relate to distinct tumorigenic phenotypes remains unclear. Here, we use a zebrafish melanoma model to identify a transcriptional program linking the melanocytic cell state to a dependence on lipid droplets, the specialized organelle responsible for lipid storage. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of these tumors show a concordance between genes regulating pigmentation and those involved in lipid and oxidative metabolism. This state is conserved across human melanoma cell lines and patient tumors. This melanocytic state demonstrates increased fatty acid uptake, an increased number of lipid droplets, and dependence upon fatty acid oxidative metabolism. Genetic and pharmacologic suppression of lipid droplet production is sufficient to disrupt cell cycle progression and slow melanoma growth in vivo. Because the melanocytic cell state is linked to poor outcomes in patients, these data indicate a metabolic vulnerability in melanoma that depends on the lipid droplet organelle.

The lipid droplet protein DHRS3 is a regulator of melanoma cell state

Project description:Lipid droplets are fat storage organelles composed of a protein envelope and a lipid rich core. Dynamic regulation of this protein envelope underlies differential lipid droplet formation and function in diverse cell types. In melanoma, the ability to form lipid droplets has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis, but it is not known whether lipid droplet proteins play a role in these phenotypes. To address this, we performed proteomic analysis of the lipid droplet envelope in melanoma. We found that proteins expressed in the lipid droplet were differentially enriched in distinct melanoma states, ranging from melanocytic to neural crest like. DHRS3, which is involved in the conversion of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol, is significantly upregulated in the MITFLO/neural crest-like melanoma cell state, and markedly reduced in the MITFHI/melanocytic state. Increased DHRS3 expression is sufficient to drive the MITFHI/melanocytic cells to a more undifferentiated and invasive state. These changes are due to retinoic acid mediated regulation of melanocytic genes through the retinoid X receptors (RXR). Our data demonstrate that melanoma cell state can be regulated by expression of lipid droplet proteins which affect downstream retinoid signaling.

Saturated fatty acids promotes β-cell toxicity by disabling intracellular lipid droplet formation through S-acylation of FIT2

Project description:Palm and coconut oils are linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes because of their high saturated fatty acid (SFA) content but exactly how exogenous SFAs, but not unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), are toxic to cells remains unknown. In insulin-producing, β-cells of the Islets of Langerhans, loss of which exacerbates diabetes, we found that SFAs but not UFAs were toxic because they disable a highly conserved lipid droplet biogenesis machinery. We show that palmitate (a major SFA of these oils), but not palmitoleic or oleic, S-acylates the highly conserved ER-resident FITM2 protein, required for lipid coalescence and droplet budding from the ER. The S-acylation marks FITM2 for ubiquitination and proteosomal degradation, leaving SFAs within the ER instead safe sequestration within lipid droplets. ER-stress ensues with rapid induction of ER stress leading to β-cell apoptosis. Specific deletion of FITM2 in β-cells disrupts calcium signaling and key β-cell TFs and exacerbates high fat diet-induced ER stress and diabetes. Rescue by overexpression ameliorates ER-stress and β-cell apoptosis thus demonstrating an important link between lipid species and cell ability to sequester them away from the ER in the form of lipid droplets.

Impaired fatty acid import and metabolism in macrophages restricts intracellular growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection of macrophages reprograms cellular lipid metabolism to promote the formation of cytosolic lipid droplets. While it is clearly known that intracellular Mtb utilize host derived fatty acids and cholesterol to fuel a majority of its biosynthetic demands, the role of macrophage lipid metabolism on the bacteria’s ability to access the intracellular lipid pool remains controversial. We have utilized a CRISPR genetic knockdown approach to, systematically and comprehensively, characterize the role of macrophage fatty acid metabolism on the intracellular growth of Mtb. Our analyzes demonstrate that knockdown of lipid import, sequestration and metabolism genes collectively impair the intracellular growth of Mtb in macrophages. We further demonstrate that modulating fatty acids homeostasis in macrophages impair Mtb replication by enhancing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, restricting the bacteria access to nutrients and increasing oxidative stress in a manner which is surprisingly divergent. We also demonstrate that impaired macrophage lipid droplet biogenesis is restrictive to intracellular Mtb growth. However, increased induction of lipid droplet formation by downstream blockade of fatty acid oxidation does not rescue the impaired Mtb growth phenotypes. Our work provides a characterization of macrophage fatty acid homeostasis and how its modulation impacts Mtb intracellular growth.

Functional multi-organelle units control inflammatory lipid metabolism of macrophages

Project description:Eukaryotic cells contain several membrane-separated organelles to compartmentalize distinct metabolic reactions. However, it has remained unclear how these organelle systems are coordinated, when cells adapt metabolic pathways to support their development, survival or effector functions. Here we present OrgaPlexing, a multispectral organelle imaging approach for the comprehensive mapping of six key metabolic organelles and their interactions. We use this analysis on macrophages, immune cells that undergo rapid metabolic switches upon sensing bacterial and inflammatory stimuli. Our results identify lipid droplets (LDs) as primary inflammatory responder organelle, which forms three- and four-way interactions with other organelles. While clusters with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria (M-ER-LD unit) help supply fatty acids for LD growth, the additional recruitment of peroxisomes (M-ER-P-LD unit) supports fatty acid efflux from LDs. Interference with individual components of these units has direct functional consequences for inflammatory lipid synthesis. Together, we show that macrophages form functional multi-organellar units (MOUs) to support metabolic adaptation, and provide an experimental strategy to identify organelle-metabolic signaling hubs.

Diet-MEF2 Interactions Shape Lipid Droplet Diversification in Muscle to Influence Drosophila Lifespan

Project description:The number, size, and composition of lipid droplets can be influenced by dietary changes that shift energy substrate availability. This diversification of lipid droplets can promote metabolic flexibility and shape cellular stress responses in unique tissues with distinctive metabolic roles. Using Drosophila, we uncovered a role for myocyte enhancer-factor 2 (MEF2) in modulating diet-dependent lipid droplet diversification within adult striated muscle, impacting mortality rates. Muscle-specific attenuation of MEF2, whose chronic activation maintains glucose and mitochondrial homeostasis, leads to the accumulation of large, cholesterol ester-enriched intramuscular lipid droplets in response to high calorie, carbohydrate sufficient diets. The diet-dependent accumulation of these lipid droplets also correlates with both enhanced stress protection in muscle and increases in organismal lifespan. Furthermore, MEF2 attenuation releases an antagonistic regulation of cell cycle gene expression programs, and up-regulation of Cyclin E is required for diet-and-MEF2 dependent diversification of intramuscular lipid droplets. The integration of MEF2-regulated gene expression networks with dietary responses thus plays a critical role in shaping muscle metabolism and function, further influencing organismal lifespan. Together, these results highlight a potential protective role for intramuscular lipid droplets during dietary adaptation.

Elucidating the Cellular Machinery for Lipid Storage in Plants

Project description:The overarching goal of this project is to understand the underlying mechanism for packaging storage lipids into lipid droplets in plant cells. Our group has identified several proteins involved in plant lipid droplet formation, but the inventory of proteins participating in this cellular process is far from complete. To search for new players involved in lipid droplet biogenesis and to gain more insights into how these players cooperate to package storage lipids into lipid droplets, we used an affinity capture approach coupled with mass spectrometry analysis to identify interactors of known lipid droplet-related proteins. Here, we used GFP-fused Arabidopsis thaliana LDIP and SEIPIN1 as baits to pull down their interactors in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. The proteins that co-immunoprecipitated with GFP-LDIP and GFP-SEIPIN1 were analyzed by mass spectrometry and the results are shown here in this dataset.

Phosphoproteomics of the Milk Fat Globule Membrane: new insights into lipid droplet secretion from the mammary epithelial cell

Project description:Lipid droplets are secreted into milk by a complex process which begins by burgeoning oflipids at the endoplasmic reticulum of the mammary epithelial cell (MEC). Lipid dropletsenveloped by organelle-derived phospholipids reach the apical pole of the cell where they arewrapped by the plasma membrane to be secreted as fat globules into milk. Analyzing the fineprotein composition of the Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM), the triple-layeredmembrane surrounding milk lipid droplets can therefore provide mechanistic clues to betterunderstand lipid droplet biosynthesis and secretion pathways. We combined a high sensitiveQ Exactive LC-MS/MS analysis of MFGM-derived peptides with 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 goatmilk. To get a more comprehensive view of intracellular mechanisms driving lipid dropletdynamics in the MEC, we decided to investigate for the first time whether MFGM proteinswere phosphorylated. A phosphopeptide enrichment approach let us pinpoint 271 sites ofphosphorylation on 124 unique goat MFGM proteins. Enriched gene ontology termsassociated with phosphorylated MFGM proteins were protein transport and actin cytoskeletonorganization. Gained data are discussed with regard to lipid secretory mechanisms in the MEC.

Label free comparative proteome analysis of Arabidopsis lipid droplets from 6 week old leaves

Project description:Lipid droplets from 6 week old Arabidopsis leaves were purified on sucrose gradient. The abundance of the proteins in the lipid droplet fraction was established by label free and compared to soluble, membrane and plastoglobule fractions, and total leaf extract in order to identify the proteins specifically enriched in lipid droplets. Three independent biological replicates, from three independent cultures were performed. For each biological replicates, three preparations of lipid droplets (and other fractions) within each of the three independent cultures were obtained.

Cod larvae oil exposure

Project description:This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the potential contribution of oil droplets to the toxicity of dispersed oil to fish larvae. Atlantic cod larvae were exposed to five concentrations of either dispersed oil (D1-D5) (containing oil droplets [medium size 10-14 µm based on volume] and water soluble fraction [WSF]) or the filtered dispersion containing only WSF of oil (W1-W5) for four days and harvested for transcriptional analysis at 13 days post hatching. The most significant differently expressed genes were observed in cod larvae exposed to the highest concentration of the dispersed oil (containing 10.41 ± 0.46 µg ∑PAH/L), with CYP1A showing the strongest response. Functional analysis further showed that the top scored network as analyzed with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was “Drug Metabolism, Endocrine System Development and Function, Lipid Metabolism”. Oil exposure also increased the expression of genes involved in bone resorption and decreased the expression of genes related to bone formation. In conclusion, oil exposure affects drug metabolism, endocrine regulation, cell differentiation and proliferation, apoptosis, fatty acid biosynthesis and tissue development in Atlantic cod larvae. The altered gene transcription was dominated by the WSF and the oil droplet fraction only had a moderate impact on the observed changes.
