Identification of differentially expressed genes in broiler offspring under maternal folate deficiency.

Folate plays an important role in DNA and RNA synthesis by donating methyl groups. To investigate the effects of maternal folate deficiency (FD) on the abdominal adipose transcriptome and on the accumulation of lipid droplets in the liver tissue of chicken offspring, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of FD were identified with digital gene expression tag profiling. Ultramicroscopy suggested that the size of lipid droplets in hepatocytes increased with FD, while the lipid droplets population number was largely not affected. The serum parameters assay showed that the concentrations of MTHFR …

Nrf2 induces lipocyte phenotype via a SOCS3-dependent negative feedback loop on JAK2/STAT3 signaling in hepatic stellate cells.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are universally acknowledged to play a core role in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis. HSCs when activated are characterized by dramatic loss of intracellular lipid droplets. Accumulative evidence has suggested that recovery of lipid droplets could suppress HSC activation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that the expression and activity of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2) - like 2 (Nrf2) were decreased in activated HSCs and negatively correlated with hepatic fibrosis severity in human liver …

Reorganization of the nuclear lamina and cytoskeleton in adipogenesis.

A thorough understanding of fat cell biology is necessary to counter the epidemic of obesity. Although molecular pathways governing adipogenesis are well delineated, the structure of the nuclear lamina and nuclear-cytoskeleton junction in this process are not. The identification of the 'linker of nucleus and cytoskeleton' (LINC) complex made us consider a role for the nuclear lamina in adipose conversion. We herein focused on the structure of the nuclear lamina and its coupling to the vimentin network, which forms a cage-like structure surrounding individual lipid droplets in mature adipocytes…

Perilipins: key targets for regulating lipid metabolism and alleviating abnormal lipid metabolism through exercise.

The deposition of ectopic lipids and resulting insulin resistance (IR) are strongly linked to a high risk of many chronic metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Perilipin family proteins (PLINs), which flexibly regulate the storage and release of lipids contained in lipid droplets in tissues, as well as the connection between lipid droplets and mitochondria, enabling fatty acids to enter mitochondria for β-oxidation. This review provides an updated consolidation of the evolving role of PLINs in lipid meta…

Immunohistochemistry of LAMP-2 and adipophilin for phospholipidosis in liver and kidney in ketoconazole-treated mice.

Drug-induced phospholipidosis is an abnormal accumulation of phospholipids in the lysosomes following repeated administration of cationic amphiphilic drugs. Phospholipidosis is detected histopathologically as cytoplasmic vacuolation; however, it is difficult to distinguish from lipid accumulation since their morphological features are similar. In this study, we investigated the usefulness of immunohistochemistry for lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2) and adipophilin, a membrane protein of cytosolic non-lysosomal lipid droplets, in the liver and kidneys of mice orally administered …

Exploring Metabolic Adaptations to the Acidic Microenvironment of Osteosarcoma Cells Unveils Sphingosine 1-Phosphate as a Valuable Therapeutic Target.

Acidity is a key player in cancer progression, modelling a microenvironment that prevents immune surveillance and enhances invasiveness, survival, and drug resistance. Here, we demonstrated in spheroids from osteosarcoma cell lines that the exposure to acidosis remarkably caused intracellular lipid droplets accumulation. Lipid accumulation was also detected in sarcoma tissues in close proximity to tumor area that express the acid-related biomarker LAMP2. Acid-induced lipid droplets-accumulation was not functional to a higher energetic request, but rather to cell survival. As a mechanism, we fo…

Modulating rheological properties and gastric emptying behavior of high internal phase emulsions via oleogelation: Influence of crystal morphology.

Modulating gastric emptying behavior of lipid-based foods is a critical strategy for regulating satiety and appetite for effective weight management. Rheological properties markedly modulate emptying rates independent of food composition. In this study, the rheological properties and gastric emptying behavior of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) were modulated via oleogelation, with a specific focus on the influence of crystal morphology governed by the composite gelators ratio. Results revealed that the storage modulus (G'), yield stress (τ) and viscosity of HIPEs increased with decreasin

A missense variant in human perilipin 2 (PLIN2 Ser251Pro) reduces hepatic steatosis in mice.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterised by the accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) within hepatocytes. Perilipin 2 (PLIN2) is the most abundant protein in hepatic LDs and its expression correlates with intracellular lipid accumulation. A recently discovered PLIN2 coding variant, Ser251Pro (rs35568725), was found to promote the accumulation of small LDs in embryonic kidney cells. In this study, we investigate the role of PLIN2-Ser251Pro (PLIN2-Pro251) on hepatic LD metabolism in vivo and research the metabolic phenotypes associated with this variant in hum…

Exogenous H2 S promotes ubiquitin-mediated degradation of SREBP1 to alleviate diabetic cardiomyopathy via SYVN1 S-sulfhydration.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic cardiomyopathy, a distinctive complication of diabetes mellitus, has been correlated with the presence of intracellular lipid deposits. However, the intricate molecular mechanisms governing the aberrant accumulation of lipid droplets within cardiomyocytes remain to be comprehensively elucidated. METHODS: Both obese diabetic (db/db) mice and HL-1 cells treated with 200 μmol/L palmitate and 200 μmol/L oleate were used to simulate type 2 diabetes conditions. Transmission electron microscopy is employed to assess the size and quantity of lipid droplets in the mouse hearts. Tr…

Effects of melatonin on the ultrastructure of the golden hamster parathyroid gland.

Ultrastructural changes of the parathyroid glands of melatonin-treated golden hamsters were studied. Many chief cells in the parathyroid glands after 1 hour of administration of melatonin contained poorly-developed Golgi complexes associated with a few prosecretory granules and numerous lipid droplets as compared with those of the control animals. The morphology of the parathyroid glands after 5 hours of administration resembled that of the control animals. Many chief cells in the parathyroid glands after 24 hours of administration had well-developed Golgi complexes and cisternae of the granul…
