Surplus Fatty Acid Synthesis Increases Oxidative Stress in Adipocytes and lnduces Lipodystrophy

ABSTRACT: Adipocytes are the primary sites for fatty acid storage, but the synthesis rate of fatty acids is very low. The physiological significance of this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, we show that surplus fatty acid synthesis in adipocytes induces necroptosis and lipodystrophy. Transcriptional activation of FASN elevates fatty acid synthesis, but decreases NADPH level and increases ROS production, which ultimately leads to adipocyte necroptosis. We identify MED20, a subunit of the Mediator complex, as a negative regulator of FASN transcription. Adipocyte-specific male Med20 knockout mice progressively develop lipodystrophy, which is reversed by scavenging ROS. Further, in a murine model of HIV-associated lipodystrophy and a human patient with acquired lipodystrophy, ROS neutralization significantly improves metabolic disorders, indicating a causal role of ROS in disease onset. Our study well explains the low fatty acid synthesis rate in adipocytes, and sheds light on the management of acquired lipodystrophy.

Cigarette smoke promote the tumor progression via FASN in bladder cancer and rewiring the fatty acid metabolism

Project description:Cigarette smoke has been demonstrated to stimulate the growth of existing bladder tumors by enhancing the survival and proliferation of cancer cells through the action of carcinogens present in smoke. Concurrently, Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN), a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis crucial for lipid metabolism, exhibits dysregulation in various cancer types, often correlating with aggressive phenotypes. In this study, we reveal altered fatty acid metabolism and elevated FASN and fatty acid levels, specifically in current smokers with bladder cancer (BLCA). Notably, increased FASN levels under smoke exposure are attributed to epigenetic alterations affecting fatty acid metabolism. Cells exposed to cigarette smoke demonstrate a metabolic shift in utilizing glutamine as a carbon source and producing fatty acids. The genetic and pharmacological inhibition of FASN effectively reduces tumor growth in a CAM model exposed to smoke. FASN inhibitors like TVB 2640, currently in phase II clinical trialsclinical trials in various cancer types, may be effective for smokers with BLCA exhibiting high FASN levels. In general, FASN inhibition offers therapeutic promise for mitigating the impact of cigarette smoke on bladder cancer progression.

Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis coordinates mitochondrial oxidative metabolism

Project description:Cells harbor two systems for the synthesis of fatty acids, one in the cytoplasm (FASN or fatty acid synthase) and one in the mitochondria (mtFAS). In contrast to FASN, mtFAS is poorly characterized, with the major product(s), metabolic roles, and cellular function(s) essentially unknown. Here we show that hypomorphic mtFAS mutants display a profound loss of electron transport chain (ETC) complexes and exhibit compensatory reductive carboxylation. This effect on ETC complexes is independent of the synthesis of lipoic acid, the best characterized function of mtFAS, as mutants lacking lipoic acid synthesis have an intact ETC. Finally, mtFAS impairment blocks the differentiation of skeletal myoblasts in vitro. These data suggest that ETC activity in mammals is profoundly controlled by mtFAS function, thereby connecting anabolic fatty acid synthesis with the oxidation of carbon fuels.

Single Cell RNA Profiling Reveals Adipocyte to Macrophage Signaling Sufficient to Enhance Thermogenesis

Project description:Adipocytes deficient in fatty acid synthase (iAdFASNKO) emit signals that mimic cold exposure to enhance the appearance of thermogenic beige adipocytes in mouse inguinal white adipose tissues (iWAT). Both cold- and iAdFASNKO-induced iWAT “browning” pathways upregulate the sympathetic nerve fiber (SNF) modulator Nrg4 and activate SNFs adjacent to beige adipocytes. Adipocyte cAMP/protein kinase A signaling is necessary for beige adipocyte appearance, as we show here it is blocked in Gsa deficient cold exposed or iAdFASNKO mice. Surprisingly however, denervation of iWAT failed to block adipocyte browning in iAdFASNKO mice, as it does in cold-exposed mice. Similarly, Nrg4 deficiency markedly reduced iWAT UCP1 in the cold, but not in double FASN/Nrg4 KO mice. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of iWAT stromal cells revealed increased macrophages displaying gene expression signatures of the alternately activated type in iAdFASNKO mice, and their depletion abrogated iWAT beiging. Altogether, these findings reveal divergent cellular pathways are sufficient to cause adipocyte browning. Importantly, adipocyte signaling to enhance alternatively activated macrophages in iAdFASNKO mice is associated with enhanced adipose thermogenesis independent of the sympathetic neuron involvement this process requires in the cold.

Adipocyte vesicles: ‘all-in-one’ packages that stimulate tumor mitochondrial metabolism and dynamics

Project description:Extracellular vesicles are emerging key actors in adipocyte communication. Notably, small extracellular vesicles shed by adipocytes promote melanoma aggressiveness through fatty acid oxidation, with a heightened effect in obesity. However, the vesicular actors and cellular processes involved remain largely unknown. Here, we elucidate the mechanisms linking adipocyte extracellular vesicles to metabolic remodeling and cell migration. Using an adapted SILAC technique, we show that adipocyte vesicles stimulate melanoma fatty acid oxidation by providing both enzymes and substrates. In obesity, the heightened effect of extracellular vesicles depends on increased transport of fatty acids, not fatty acid oxidation related enzymes as shown by classical LC-MS/MS analysis. These fatty acids, stored within lipid droplets in cancer cells, drive fatty acid oxidation after release through lipophagy. This increase in mitochondrial activity redistributes mitochondria to membrane protrusions of migrating cells, which is necessary to increase cell migration in the presence of adipocyte vesicles. Our results provide key insights into the role of extracellular vesicles in the metabolic cooperation that takes place between adipocytes and tumors with particular relevance in obesity.

Transcriptomic analysis of the peripheral nervous system of Schwann cell-conditional FASN knockout mice

Project description:Myelination calls for a tremendous surge in cell metabolism towards lipids and membrane production. However, functional relevance of de novo fatty acid synthesis in myelinating cells remains unclear. We generated mutant mice in which the enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) was depleted conditionally in Schwann cells, the myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. To address how lack of FASN was affecting the development of the peripheral nervous system, we screened with an Affymetrix Transcriptomic approach the transcriptome of sciatic nerves and roots of P60 FASN mutant mice, comparing to control mice.

A bioorthogonal chemical reporter for fatty acid synthase-dependent protein acylation

Project description:Mammalian fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a lipogenic enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the long chain saturated fatty acid palmitate from acetyl and malonyl CoA in the presence of NADPH. Mammalian cells acquire fatty acids through dietary sources or through FASN. Although most mammalian cells express FASN at low levels, it is upregulated in cancers and during replication of many viruses. The precise role of FASN in disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, and whether de novo fatty acid synthesis contributes to host or viral protein acylation has been traditionally difficult to study. We describe a cell permeable, click-chemistry compatible alkynyl-acetate analog (5-Hexynoic acid, or "Alk-4") that functions as a reporter of FASN-dependent protein acylation. Alk-4 metabolic labeling enabled biotin-based purification and identification of more than 200 FASN-dependent acylated cellular proteins. Alk-4 also labeled the palmitoylated host protein IFITM3 (Interferon inducible transmembrane protein-3), a restriction factor for Influenza, and the myristoylated HIV-1 MA (Matrix) protein. Thus, Alk-4 is a useful bioorthogonal tool to selectively probe FASN-mediated protein acylation in normal and diseased states.

Role of fatty acid synthase in oligodendrocyte myelination

Project description:In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes encase axons with myelin, a highly organized multilayered membrane structure. Myelin allows the rapid propagation of action potentials along the axons, while also supporting their mantainance metabolically. Fatty acids are basic building blocks for both glyco- and phospholipids, key constituents of cell membranes. Moreover, fatty acids can modify proteins via palmitoylation and activate transcriptional networks, e.g. through the PPARs transcription factors. Due to the high demand of membrane oligodendrocytes face to produce myelin, we hypothesized that they strongly rely upon fatty acid synthesis rather than mostly on their intake from the dietary pool. We tested this hypothesis by deleting the enzyme Fatty Acid Synthase specifically from neonatal oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, in vivo in C57Bl/6 olig2Cre FASN floxed mice. We addressed the consequences of this depletion on oligodendrocytes differentation and myelination potential in the central nervous system. In particular, we analyzed by RNA-seq how lack of FASN affected the transcriptome of optic nerves dissected from P14 mutant (olig2Cre FASN lox/lox) versus control (FASN lox/lox) mice.

Expression data from differentiated 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes.

Project description:Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is the rate-limiting enzyme catalyzing the conversion of saturated fatty acids palmitate and stearate to monounsaturated fatty acids palmitoleate and oleate. During adipocyte differentiation, SCD expression increases concomitantly with several transcription factors and lipogenic genes. We used microarrays to examine gene expression in differentiated pre-adipocytes treated with and without an SCD inhibitor. On day 7 of adipocyte differentiation, total RNA was extracted from adipocytes. Two conditions were selected for comparison: total RNA extracted from adipocytes treated with DMSO (control) and or a SCD inhibitor.

Gene expression of wild-type and Nix-/-Bnip3-/- memory B cells

Project description:Memory B cells are long-lived lymphocytes essential for humoral immunological memory. Autophagy is required for the long-term survival of memory B cells, however, the molecular mechanisms for the protection by autophagy have not been fully elucidated. Here we show that mitochondrial autophagy mediated by Nix and Bnip3 prevents necroptosis in memory B cells by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and normal lipid metabolism. In mice with B cell-specific deletion of Nix and Bnip3, memory B cells showed significant increases in viable mitochondria and de novo fatty acid synthesis, with accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm and accelerated cell death. Inhibiting the mitochondrial citrate transporter Slc25a1 or silencing the necroptosis gene Ripk3 rescued Nix–/–Bnip3–/– memory B cells in vivo. These data indicate that Nix- and Bnip3-dependent mitochondrial autophagy in memory B cells is important for restricting de novo fatty acid synthesis and preventing necroptosis. Our results suggest a mechanism for autophagy in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis for the protection of immunological memory.
