Systematic lipidomic analysis of yeast protein kinase and phosphatase mutants reveals novel insights into regulation of lipid homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: The regulatory pathways required to maintain eukaryotic lipid homeostasis are largely unknown. We developed a systematic approach to uncover new players in the regulation of lipid homeostasis. Through an unbiased mass spectrometry-based lipidomic screening, we quantified hundreds of lipid species, including glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterols, from a collection of 129 mutants in protein kinase and phosphatase genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our approach successfully identified known kinases involved in lipid homeostasis and uncovered new ones. By clustering analysis, we found connections between nutrient-sensing pathways and regulation of glycerophospholipids. Deletion of members of glucose- and nitrogen-sensing pathways showed reciprocal changes in glycerophospholipid acyl chain lengths. We also found several new candidates for the regulation of sphingolipid homeostasis, including a connection between inositol pyrophosphate metabolism and complex sphingolipid homeostasis through transcriptional regulation of AUR1 and SUR1. This robust, systematic lipidomic approach constitutes a rich, new source of biological information and can be used to identify novel gene associations and function.

Project description:BackgroundMicrofat and nanofat are commonly used in various surgical procedures, from skin rejuvenation to scar correction, to contribute to tissue regeneration. Microfat contains mainly adipocytes and is well suited for tissue augmentation, and nanofat is rich in lipids, adipose-derived stem cells, microvascular fragments, and growth factors, making it attractive for aesthetic use. The authors have previously demonstrated that the mechanical processing of microfat into nanofat significantly changes its proteomic profile. Considering that mechanical fractionation leads to adipocyte disruption and lipid release, they aimed to analyze their lipidomic profiles for their regenerative properties.MethodsMicrofat and nanofat samples were isolated from 14 healthy patients. Lipidomic profiling was performed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The resulting data were compared against the Human Metabolome and LIPID MAPS Structure Database. MetaboAnalyst was used to analyze metabolic pathways and lipids of interest.ResultsFrom 2388 mass-to-charge ratio features, metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of microfat and nanofat samples revealed 109 pathways that were significantly enriched. Microfat samples revealed higher-intensity levels of sphingosines, different eicosanoids, and fat-soluble vitamins. Increased levels of coumaric acids and prostacyclin were found in nanofat.ConclusionsThis is the first study to analyze the lipidomic profiles of microfat and nanofat, providing evidence that mechanical emulsification of microfat into nanofat leads to changes in their lipid profiles. From 109 biological pathways, antiinflammatory, antifibrotic, and antimelanogenic lipid mediators were particularly enriched in nanofat samples when compared with microfat. Although further studies are necessary for a deeper understanding of the composition of these specific lipid mediators in nanofat samples, the authors propose that they might contribute to its regenerative effects on tissue.Clinical relevance statementProfiling the unique lipid mediators in nanofat and microfat enhances our understanding of their different therapeutic effects and allows us to link these specific mediators to antiinflammatory, pro-regenerative, or healing properties. Ultimately, this insight can advance personalized therapeutic strategies, where a specific type of fat is selected based on its optimal therapeutic effect.
