Ribo-seq of cavernous fibroblasts cultured on substrates with different stiffness.

ABSTRACT: Fibrotic diseases involve increased mechanical stress due to extracellular matrix deposition, significantly altering cellular metabolism. However, a systematic understanding of how mechanical force regulates lipid metabolism across different molecular layers remains limited. We employed an integrated multi-omics approach, including transcriptomics, Ribo-seq, proteomics, and lipidomics, to comprehensively assess the effects of mechanical stretch on lipid metabolism in human cavernous fibroblasts. Our analysis revealed that while mechanical force elicits complex multi-layered responses, post-translational regulation predominantly drives this lipid metabolic reprogramming. Lipidomics identified a significant reduction in fatty acids and an upregulation of ganglioside. Key genes central to this mechanosensitive metabolic shift were pinpointed. This study demonstrates that mechanical force hierarchically reprograms lipid metabolism. The shift from fatty acids to ganglioside underscores a key metabolic adaptation in fibroblasts. Targeting the identified critical genes may offer a promising therapeutic strategy for fibrosis-related diseases.

Fatty Acids Promote the Maturation of Cardiomyocytes Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Although human pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) have emerged as a novel platform for heart regeneration, disease modeling, and drug screening, their immaturity significantly hinders their application. A hallmark of postnatal cardiomyocyte maturation is the metabolic substrate switch from glucose to fatty acids. We hypothesized that fatty acid supplementation would enhance hPSC-CM maturation. Fatty acid treatment induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and significantly increases cardiomyocyte force production. The improvement in force generation is accompanied by enhanced calcium transient peak height and kinetics, and by increased action potential upstroke velocity. Fatty acids enhance mitochondrial respiratory reserve capacity. RNA sequencing showed fatty acid treatment upregulates genes involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and downregulates genes in lipid synthesis. Signal pathway analyses reveal that fatty acid treatment results in phosphorylation of multiple intracellular kinases. Thus, fatty acids increase human cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, force generation, calcium dynamics, action potential upstroke velocity, and oxidative capacity. This enhanced maturation should facilitate hPSC-CMs usage for cell therapy, disease modeling, and drug/toxicity screens.

Microenvironmental arginine restriction sensitizes pancreatic cancers to polyunsaturated fatty acids by suppression of lipid synthesis

Project description:Nutrient limitation in the microenvironment of poorly perfused tumors constrains the metabolism of cancer cells. Identifying these microenvironmental constraints can provide new insight into the nutritional biochemistry of tumors and reveal metabolic liabilities of cancer cells. We have found that limitation of arginine in pancreatic cancers inhibits fatty acid synthesis by suppressing the lipogenic transcription factor SREBP1. SREBP1-driven fatty acid synthesis produces saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Producing these fatty acids enables cells to maintain a balance of differently saturated fatty acids needed for lipid homeostasis, even upon exposure to environments enriched in one specific class of fatty acids. Given the constraints on lipid synthesis in the microenvironment, we asked if pancreatic cancers are sensitive to exposure to fats with imbalanced levels of saturated and unsaturated fats. We found microenvironmental constraints on lipid synthesis sensitize pancreatic cancer cells and tumors to exposure to fat sources that are enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thus, amino acid restriction in the tumor microenvironment constrains lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer, which renders pancreatic tumors incapable of maintaining lipid homeostasis upon exposure to polyunsaturated-enriched fats.

MEHP CETSA results for targets screening

Project description:Monoethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) is one of the main active metabolites of the plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). It has been known that MEHP has impact on lipolysis; however, its mechanism on the cellular lipid metabolism remains largely unclear. Here, we first utilized the global lipid profiling to fully characterize the lipid synthesis and degradation pathways upon MEHP treatment. Meanwhile, we further identified the possible MEHP targeted proteins in the living cells using the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) method. The lipidomics result showed that there was a significant accumulation of fatty acids and other lipids in cell. The CETSA identified 138 proteins and fatty acid β-oxidation inhibition pathways that were significantly perturbed. MEHP’s binding with selected proteins HADH and HSD17B10 was further evaluated using molecule docking and results showed that MEHP has higher affinities as compared to the endogenous substrates, which was further experimentally confirmed in the surface plasma resonance (SPR) interaction assay. In summary, we found a novel mechanism for MEHP-induced lipid accumulation, which was probably due to its inhibitive effects on the enzymes in fatty acid β-oxidation. This mechanism substantiates the public concerns on the high exposure level to plasticizers and its possible role as an obesogen.

Eicosapentaenoic Acid Reprograms Cerebrovascular Metabolism and Impairs Repair after Brain Injury, with Relevance to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy [human_brain_OnurE_RNA-seq]

Project description:Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) precedes chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and involves neurovascular dysfunction. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are promoted as neuroprotective, but long-term effects after brain injury remain uncertain. We uncover a metabolic vulnerability associated with cerebral accumulation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a major PUFA derived from fish oil. In a fish oil diet model, EPA accumulates at baseline yet is selectively depleted after rmTBI, consistent with mobilization during injury-associated metabolic remodeling. This pattern coincides with matrix remodeling, endothelial degeneration, and impaired neurovascular function. Cortical transcriptomics indicates reduced angiogenic programs with increased fatty acid metabolism, and lipidomics links EPA to maladaptive lipid engagement. Mechanistic studies using metabolically adapted endothelial cells show that EPA selectively impairs reparative function. Analysis of postmortem CTE brain tissue reveals parallel vascular and metabolic gene expression changes, strengthening translational relevance. Together, these findings challenge the assumption of uniform omega-3 neuroprotection after brain injury.

The interplay between dietary fatty acids and gut microbiota influences host metabolism and hepatic steatosis

Project description:Dietary lipids can affect metabolic health through gut microbiota-mediated mechanisms, but the influence of lipid-microbiota interaction on liver steatosis is unknown. We investigated the effect of dietary lipid composition on human microbiota in an observational study and combined diet experiments with microbiota transplants to study lipid-microbiota interactions and liver status in mice. In humans, low intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was associated with increased microbial diversity independent of fiber intake. In mice, cecum levels of SFA correlated negatively with microbial diversity and were associated with a shift in butyrate and propionate producers. Mice fed poorly absorbed SFA had improved metabolism and liver status. These features were transmitted by microbial transfer. Diets enriched in n-6- and/or n-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids were protective against steatosis but had minor influence on the microbiota. In summary, we find that unabsorbed SFA correlate with microbiota features that may be targeted to decrease liver steatosis.

Gene expression of lipid metabolism-related genes correlated with milk fatty acids in dairy cows

Project description:The aim of the present study was to correlate lipid metabolism genes in the mammary gland tissue affected by stage of lactation and nutrition to the resulting milk fatty acids composition in grazing dairy cows, and to classify milk fatty acid (FA) groups based on variations in lipid metabolism gene expression patterns. Identifying the relationship between lipid metabolism genes in the mammary gland tissue and the resulting milk fatty acid composition is expected to greatly contribute to our understanding of milk fatty acid metabolism and to enhance opportunities to improve milk fat composition through nutrition. In fact, SNCA, SCD5, and PNPLA2 lipid metabolism-related genes affected by unsaturated fatty acids supplementation, were found to strongly correlated to different milk FA groups, but also contributed most to the classification of these FA groups, suggesting a significant role in mediating the lipid metabolism in the mammary gland tissue and determining the milk fatty acids composition. A total of 28 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows in mid-lactation were blocked according to parity (2.4 ± 0.63 years), days in milk (DIM; 153 ± 32.8 days), milk yield (25.7 ± 3.08 kg/d) and fat content (4.3 ± 0.12%). Cows were then randomly assigned to four UFA-sources based on rapeseed, soybean, linseed or a mixture of the three oils for 23 days (Period I) after which, all 28 cows were switched to a control diet for an additional 28 days (Period II). On the last day of both periods, mammary gland biopsies were taken to study genome-wide differences in lipid metabolism gene expression.

Bile acids regulate lipid metabolism through selective actions on fatty acid absorption

Project description:Intestinal lipid absorption, the entry point for fats into the body, requires the coordinated actions of bile acids and lipases. Here, we uncover distinct yet cooperative roles of bile acids in driving the differential uptake of dietary fatty acids. We first decreased the bile acid pool size by disrupting the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, Cyp7a1, using liver-directed gene editing in mice. Compared with lipase inhibition, reduced bile acids prevented diet-induced obesity, increased anorectic hormones, suppressed excessive eating, and improved systemic lipid metabolism. Remarkably, decreasing bile acids selectively reduced the absorption of saturated fatty acids but preserved polyunsaturated fatty acids. By targeting additional bile acid enzymes, we identified specific functions of individual bile acid species. Mechanistically, we show that cholic acid preferentially solubilizes polyunsaturated fatty acids into mixed micelles for intestinal uptake. Our studies demonstrate that bile acids can selectively control fatty acid uptake, revealing insights for future interventions in metabolic diseases.
