Our previous study demonstrated that hypoxia induced ferroptosis in the gastric and small intestinal mucosa by upregulating ALOX5, NOX4, and polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phospholipids (PUFA-PLs). The impact of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on ferroptosis is currently a subject of debate. While DHA and EPA upregulate SLC7A11 expression, mitigating lipid peroxidation, they also elevate PUFA-PL levels, exacerbating it. This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of DHA and EPA supplementation on gastric and small intestinal mucosal ferroptosis under normoxic and hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo. Under normoxia, DHA and EPA upregulated SLC7A11 expression through the cAMP/PKA/ATF3 pathway, thereby enhancing cellular resistance to lipid peroxidation associated with increased PUFA-PL levels and preventing ferroptosis. In contrast, under hypoxia, DHA and EPA exacerbated ferroptosis by further increasing PUFA-PL levels, which, in combination with hypoxia-induced ALOX5 and NOX4 expression, resulted in excessive lipid peroxidation that overwhelmed the protective mechanisms mediated by SLC7A11 upregulation. These findings indicate that DHA and EPA exacerbate hypoxia-induced ferroptosis in gastric and small intestinal mucosa.

Consequently, there is currently no comprehensive blueprint detailing both the proteomes and lipidomes of highly enriched plasma EVs. We employed an orthogonal approach using density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGUC) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) to isolate EVs and conducted a comparative study on four different SEC columns following DGUC to evaluate the capacity of the SEC columns in enriching EVs while depleting plasma proteins and lipoprotein particles. The EV fractions were analyzed with data-independent acquisition proteomics and nano-ESI-ultrahigh-resolution accurate mass spectrometric lipidomics. DGUC followed by the appropriated sized SEC provided the best enrichment of EVs and the corresponding depletion of plasma protein and lipoprotein particle contaminants. We show that glycerophosphoethanoamine, glycerophosphoserine, ceramide, and sphingomyelin lipids are significantly enriched, while cholesteryl ester content is significantly depleted in EVs compared to platelet depleted plasma. This strategy also enabled the detection of proteins in the enriched EV fractions with functions related to mitochondria, endosomal-autophagic-lysosomal pathways, and the central nervous system.

While ABHD5 is a well-known co-activator of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL, also referred to as PNPLA2), its role in epidermal lipid metabolism is incompletely understood. Here, we identify ABHD5 as a key regulator of PNPLA1, an enzyme essential for ω-O-acylceramide (acylCer) synthesis and skin barrier formation. We analyzed seven disease-associated ABHD5 missense mutations and found that they disrupt PNPLA1 localization and function by distinct mechanisms: (i) mutations affecting the PNPLA1 binding region of ABHD5 impair PNPLA1 recruitment to intracellular lipid droplets (LDs), thus reducing acylCer synthesis; (ii) mutations in potential perilipin-binding domains of ABHD5 prevent ABHD5 association with LDs, thereby disrupting PNPLA1-LD localization. Despite these defects, restoring co-localization of ABHD5 mutants with PNPLA1 in proteoliposomes rescued full PNPLA1 enzyme activity, indicating that spatial proximity rather than direct protein binding is sufficient to facilitate acylCer formation. In summary, our findings establish a co-localization-driven model of PNPLA1 regulation, in which ABHD5 ensures proper PNPLA1 targeting to LDs and simultaneously enables its enzymatic activation. This model suggests that pharmacological strategies aimed at restoring PNPLA1 localization to LDs may represent a potential therapeutic approach for ichthyosis in ABHD5-sEDD.

An In-Cell ELISA was used to measure the binding of LDL to PGs in the extracellular matrix synthesized by mouse vascular smooth muscle cells. Fast-protein liquid chromatography, immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE, and immunoblotting analysis were performed to characterize how HDL and its apolipoproteins inhibit LDL binding to PGs. HDL and APOA1 inhibited LDL binding to PGs in a dose-dependent manner. Competition experiments showed that HDL did not compete directly with LDL for PG binding. Instead, APOA1 dissociated from HDL and associated with LDL, reducing the ability of LDL to bind PGs. This was demonstrated by separating HDL and LDL using porous filters of different sizes and tracking the movement of either HDL or APOA1. When APOA1 was solidly anchored to HDL particles, HDL lost the ability to affect LDL-PG binding. HDL inhibits LDL binding to PGs through an interaction with its main apolipoprotein, APOA1, specifically, a pool of loosely attached, exchangeable, lipid-free APOA1 on the HDL surface.
