In this study, we generated a new sensor combining the split-fluorescent protein tags with YDQA, a derivate of cholesterol-dependent cytolysin PFO. Through a series of validations in cell and C. elegans models, we demonstrate that the new sensor (name as sfPMcho) efficiently detects neuronal PM cholesterol. We further applied this sensor in 5X FAD and APOE KO mice models and revealed the cholesterol changes within neurons. PM cholesterol became sparse and locally aggregated in neuron bodies but significantly accumulated in nerve fibers.

Considering the essential role of brain cholesterol in signaling and synaptogenesis, it is important to screen for brain cholesterol abnormalities in FXS and explore their link with neuropsychological profiles. Brain cholesterol is synthesized in situ, and the excess is primarily converted to 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol (24(S)-OHC). 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC) is the major cholesterol oxidation metabolite that crosses the blood-brain barrier from peripheral circulation into the brain. Plasma levels of 24(S)-OHC and 27-OHC were quantified in FXS and control individuals. The FXS group underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation to evaluate corticospinal excitability and inhibition. The clinical profile was assessed using questionnaires evaluating specific symptoms related to autism, aberrant behaviors, and anxiety. Study results show a significant decrease in plasma levels of 24(S)-OHC in FXS as compared to controls (78.48 nM ± 20.90 vs. 99.53 nM ± 32.30; P = 0.006). Moreover, a negative correlation was observed between plasma levels of 24(S)-OHC and motor evoked potential (r_s = -0.57; P = 0.05) in FXS. Similarly, a negative correlation was also found between plasma levels of 24(S)-OHC and the total score of the Social Communication Questionnaire (r_s = -0.72; P = 0.002) and the Anxiety Depression and Mood Scale (r_s = -0.61; P = 0.02).

This study examines (i) whether HFHC induces cholesterol accumulation in mitochondria, and impacts cardiac bioenergetics, and (ii) the effectiveness of anti-P3 Abs in mitigating HFHC-induced mitochondrial alterations. Cardiac tissue was homogenized, and mitochondria were isolated through subcellular fractionation. Thin layer chromatography demonstrated that HFHC induced the accumulation of CE in cardiac mitochondria, and that this process was significantly reduced by anti-P3 Abs. In line, transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that morphological changes induced by HFHC in cardiomyocyte mitochondria were reversed, at least in part, by anti-P3 Abs. Additionally, anti-P3 Abs promoted more extensive interactions between mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs), accompanied by an increase in LD diameter and electrodensity in cardiomyocytes. Cardiac mitochondrial respiratory capacity assessed by Seahorse analysis showed that HFHC reduced CI/CIV and CII/CIV activity ratios, while anti-P3 Abs restored complex II/IV activity. In conclusion, by blocking CE uptake from lipoproteins, anti-P3 Abs reduce CE accumulation in the cardiomyocyte mitochondria and LDs, enhance bioenergetically favorable mitochondria/LD interactions, and improve cardiomyocyte respiratory function in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of anti-P3 Abs in metabolic diseases by limiting CE loading of mitochondria and LDs in the heart and restoring cardiac bioenergetics.</p>","PeriodicalId":16209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lipid Research","volume":" ","pages":"100783"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12051619/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less attention has been paid to whether and how other apolipoproteins play redundant or compensatory roles when the ApoB function is compromised. 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":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12147227/pdf/","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":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings demonstrate that the beneficial effects of AKBA on metabolic disorders are largely dependent on its direct interaction with monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) in hepatocytes. In vivo experiments using a high-fat and high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet-induced NAFLD mouse model revealed that AKBA effectively mitigated both the progression of NAFLD and associated metabolic dysfunctions. Proteomic and RNA sequencing analyses further elucidated that AKBA attenuates key pathways related to lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis. Mechanistically, AKBA was found to directly target MGLL in hepatocytes, inhibiting its activity in hydrolyzing monoacylglycerols. Structural analyses revealed that AKBA binds specifically to the GLU60, MET64, THR279, and PHE283 residues of MGLL. Importantly, AKBA showed no additional therapeutic effect in MGLL-deficient models, underscoring the crucial role of MGLL in mediating AKBA's therapeutic action.
