Despite this, the ability to predict and guide monitoring of patients receiving Dox is hampered by a lack of effective biomarkers to identify susceptible patients and detect early signs of subclinical cardiotoxicity. Based on their well-established roles in the response to Dox and other chemotherapies, we performed a retrospective analysis of serum and plasma sphingolipids (SLs) from female breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing anthracycline-containing therapy, correlating with cardiac parameters assessed by echocardiography. Results showed substantial changes in both plasma and serum SL species during therapy including ceramide (Cer), deoxydihydroCer, and dihydrosphingosine with reversion towards baseline after treatment. Linear mixed-effects model analysis revealed that baseline levels of a number of SLs correlated with adverse cardiac outcomes. Here, serum sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and dihydroS1P, and plasma Cer performed comparably to the prognostic value of pro-NT-BNP, an established biomarker of cardiotoxicity. Intriguingly, while pro-NT-BNP had no predictive value at mid- and post-therapy timepoints, serum S1P and dihydroS1P and plasma Cer levels showed correlation with adverse outcomes, particularly at the post-therapy timepoint. Finally, analysis of plasma and serum C16:C24-Cer ratios - previously linked with adverse cardiac outcomes - showed no correlation in the context of chemotherapy treatment. Overall, this pilot study provides initial evidence that plasma and serum SLs may have benefit as both prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for female BC patients undergoing anthracycline-containing chemotherapy. Consequently, diagnostic SL measurements - recently implemented for metabolic-associated cardiac disorders - could have wider utility.</p>","PeriodicalId":16209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lipid Research","volume":" ","pages":"100798"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143795672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Membranes of a highly virulent intracellular bacterium, Francisella tularensis (Ft), contain highly tail-asymmetric phosphatidylethanolamine (XJPE) lipids which were previously shown to inhibit inflammatory responses in host cells. XJPE tails have unusually high asymmetry, and how they contribute to membrane properties on a molecular level is unknown.

Our results demonstrate that at high concentration they promote liquid-to-gel transition in otherwise liquid membranes, while at low concentration they are tolerated well, minimally altering membrane properties. In liquid membranes, XJPE lipids dynamically adopt two main conformations; with the long tail extended into the opposing leaflet or bent-back residing in its own leaflet. When added to both leaflets XJPE primarily adopts an extended confirmation, while asymmetric addition results in more bent-back orientations. The former increases tail ordering and the latter decreases it. Their composition- and leaflet-dependent bidirectional effect on membrane fluidity suggests that Ft could use tail asymmetry to facilitate vesicle fusion and destabilize host cells.

Though DIO impairs the interplay between circadian oscillation and lipid metabolism, the impact of DIO on mitochondrial membrane lipid composition and their temporal oscillation is unknown. Thus, we investigated the diurnal oscillation of liver mitochondrial lipidome at various Zeitgeber times using quantitative lipidomics. Our data suggested that obesity disrupted lipid accumulation profiles and diminished the oscillating lipid species in the hepatic mitochondria. Strikingly, HFD manifested a more homogenous temporal oscillation pattern in phospholipids regardless of possessing different fatty acyl-chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation. In particular, DIO impaired the circadian rhythmicity of phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl serine and ether-linked phosphatidyl ethanolamine. Also, DIO altered the rhythmic profile of PE/PC, ePE/PC, PS/PC ratio and key proteins related to mitochondrial function, dynamics, and quality control. Since HFD dampened lipid oscillation, we examined whether the diurnal oscillation of mitochondrial lipids synchronized with mitochondrial function. Also, our data emphasized that acrophase of mitochondrial lipids synchronized with increased oxygen consumption rate and Parkin levels at ZT16 in chow-fed mice.

This study explores how Mat1a-knockout (KO) hepatocytes respond to prolonged high glucose conditions, focusing on glucose metabolism and lipid accumulation. Hepatocytes from Mat1a-KO mice were incubated in high glucose conditions overnight, allowing for analysis of key metabolic intermediates and gene expression related to glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glyceroneogenesis, phospholipid synthesis, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion. SAMe deficiency in Mat1a-KO hepatocytes led to reduced protein methyltransferase-1 activity, resulting in increased expression of glycolytic enzymes (glucokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase) and decreased expression of gluconeogenic enzymes (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphatase). These alterations led to a reduction in dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), which subsequently inhibited mammalian target of rapamycine complex 1 (mTORC1) activity.

Here, we investigated the effects of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), which mediates lipidation of nascent ApoB, on ApoE function. We observed a paradoxical increase in ApoE secretion resulting from increased expression in MTP inhibitor (MTPi)-treated human hepatoma cells. This phenotype was recapitulated in APOB-knockout cells and was associated with impaired ApoB secretion. While MTP-dependent transfer of neutral lipids is dispensable for ApoE secretion, TG biosynthesis, redundantly catalyzed by DGAT1 and DGAT2, is required for efficient ApoE secretion in hepatoma cells. ApoE colocalizes with lipid droplets near the Golgi apparatus and mediates TG export in an ApoB-independent fashion. We found that simultaneous inhibition of both ApoE and ApoB, but not inhibition of either alone, led to TG accumulation in hepatoma cells, indicating that both proteins function redundantly to control TG content. Validation studies in primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) demonstrated DGAT2-dependent secretion of ApoE. While MTPi treatment did not elevate ApoE secretion, it induced increased sialylation of ApoE in the supernatants of PHHs. These results show that enhanced ApoE secretion compensates for the impaired ApoB function to maintain the lipid homeostasis, providing an alternative route to modulate lipid turnover in hepatoma cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":16209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lipid Research","volume":" ","pages":"100795"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143780304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
