Comparison of these quiescent gel-cultured HSCs with activated plastic-cultured HSCs showed that although during early activation the total RE levels and RP-enrichment are reduced, levels of RE formation are maintained and mediated by LRAT. Loss of REs was caused by enhanced RE breakdown in activating HSCs. Upon prolonged culturing, activated HSCs have lost their LRAT activity and produce small amounts of REs by DGAT1.

To delineate whether SCD1 deficiency predisposes the liver to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we employed in vivo SCD1 deficient global and liver-specific mouse models fed a high carbohydrate low-fat diet and in vitro established AML12 mouse cells. The absence of liver SCD1 remarkably increased the saturation of liver lipid species, as indicated by lipidomic analysis, and led to hepatic fibrosis. Consistently, SCD1 deficiency promoted hepatic gene expression related to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC. Deletion of SCD1 increased the circulating levels of Osteopontin, known to be increased in fibrosis, and alpha-fetoprotein, often used as an early marker and a prognostic marker for patients with HCC. De novo lipogenesis or dietary supplementation of oleate, an SCD1-generated MUFA, restored the gene expression related to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC.

We here investigated the lipidome of SF-EVs in inflamed joints derived from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients, two autoimmune-driven joint diseases, and compared these signatures to the lipid profile of equine SF-EVs obtained during induced acute synovitis. Since neutrophils are primary SF-infiltrating cells during these inflammatory joint diseases, we also analyzed how inflammatory stimuli alter the lipidomic profile of human and equine neutrophil-derived EVs (nEVs) in vitro and how these signatures relate to the lipidome signatures of SF-EVs from inflamed joints. We identified neutrophil stimulation intensity-dependent changes in the lipidomic profile of nEVs with elevated presence of dihexosylceramide (lactosylceramide), phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine ether-linked lipid classes in human nEVs upon full neutrophil activation. In horses, levels of monohexosylceramide (glucosylceramide) increased instead of dihexosylceramide, indicating species-specific differences. The lipid profiles of RA and SpA SF-EVs were relatively similar and showed a relative resemblance with stimulated human nEVs. Similarly, the lipidome of equine synovitis-derived SF-EVs closer resembled the one of stimulated equine nEVs. Hence, lipidome profiling can provide insights into the contribution of nEVs to the heterogeneous pool of SF-EVs, deepening our understanding of inflammatory joint diseases and revealing molecular changes in joint homeostasis, which can lead to the development of more precise disease diagnosis and treatment strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8815,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

The expression of INTS6 and PPARγ was examined in the liver of a mouse model of steatohepatitis and in paired liver biopsy samples from 11 patients with severe obesity and histologically proven metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) before and one year after bariatric surgery. To induce hepatocellular steatosis in vitro, an immortalized human hepatocyte cell line Hc3716 was treated with free fatty acids. In the steatohepatitis mouse model, we observed hepatic induction of INTS6, PPARγ, and adipocyte-specific genes. In contrast, β-catenin which negatively regulates PPARγ was reduced. Biopsied human livers demonstrated a strong positive correlation (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.8755) between INTS6 and PPARγ mRNA levels.
