Cerebellar and hepatic alterations in ACBD5-deficient mice are associated with unexpected, distinct alterations in cellular lipid homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: ACBD5 deficiency is a novel peroxisome disorder with a largely uncharacterized pathology. ACBD5 was recently identified in a tethering complex mediating membrane contacts between peroxisomes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). An ACBD5-deficient mouse was analyzed to correlate ACBD5 tethering functions with the disease phenotype. ACBD5-deficient mice exhibit elevated very long-chain fatty acid levels and a progressive cerebellar pathology. Liver did not exhibit pathologic changes but increased peroxisome abundance and drastically reduced peroxisome-ER contacts. Lipidomics of liver and cerebellum revealed tissue-specific alterations in distinct lipid classes and subspecies. In line with the neurological pathology, unusual ultra-long chain fatty acids (C > 32) were elevated in phosphocholines from cerebelli but not liver indicating an organ-specific imbalance in fatty acid degradation and elongation pathways. By contrast, ether lipid formation was perturbed in liver towards an accumulation of alkyldiacylglycerols. The alterations in several lipid classes suggest that ACBD5, in addition to its acyl-CoA binding function, might maintain peroxisome-ER contacts in order to contribute to the regulation of anabolic and catabolic cellular lipid pathways.

Project description:Hepatic lipid accumulation, or Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), is a significant risk factor for liver cancer. Despite the rising incidence of MASLD, the underlying mechanisms of steatosis and lipotoxicity remain poorly understood. Interestingly, lipid accumulation also occurs during fasting, driven by the mobilization of adipose tissue-derived fatty acids into the liver. However, how hepatocytes adapt to increased lipid flux during nutrient deprivation and what occurs differently in MASLD is not known. To investigate the differences in lipid handling in response to nutrient deficiency and excess, we developed a novel single-cell tissue imaging (scPhenomics) technique coupled with spatial proteomics. Our investigation revealed extensive remodeling of lipid droplet (LD) and mitochondrial topology in response to dietary conditions. Notably, fasted mice exhibited extensive mitochondria-LD interactions, which were rarely observed in Western Diet (WD)-fed mice. Spatial proteomics showed an increase in PLIN5 expression, a known mediator of LD-mitochondria interaction, in response to fasting. To examine the functional role of mitochondria-LD interaction on lipid handling, we overexpressed PLIN5 variants. We found that the phosphorylation state of PLIN5 impacts its capacity to form mitochondria-LD contact sites. PLIN5 S155A promoted extensive organelle interactions, triglyceride (TG) synthesis, and LD expansion in mice fed a control diet. Conversely, PLIN5 S155E expressing cells had fewer LDs and contact sites and contained less TG. Wild-type (WT) PLIN5 overexpression in WD-fed mice reduced steatosis and improved redox state despite continued WD consumption. These findings highlight the importance of organelle interactions in lipid metabolism, revealing a critical mechanism by which hepatocytes maintain homeostasis during metabolic stress. Our study underscores the potential utility of targeting mitochondria-LD interactions for therapeutic intervention.
