Project description:The Aster-C protein (encoded by the Gramd1c gene) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein that has been reported to transport cholesterol from the plasma membrane to the ER . Although there is a clear role for the closely-related Aster-B protein in cholesterol transport and downstream esterification in the adrenal gland, the specific role for Aster-C in tissue cholesterol homeostasis is not well understood. Here, we have examined whole body cholesterol balance in mice globally lacking Aster-C under low or high dietary cholesterol conditions.transport and metabolism under divergent dietary cholesterol conditions. These results strongly suggest that Aster-C alone is not sufficient to control whole body cholesterol balance, but can modestly impact circulating cortisol and bile acid levels when dietary cholesterol is limited.

Project description:Atherosclerosis arises from disrupted cholesterol metabolism, notably impaired macrophage cholesterol efflux leading to foam cell formation. Through single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing, we identified Listerin as a regulator of macrophage cholesterol metabolism. Listerin expression increased during atherosclerosis progression in humans and rodents. Its deficiency suppressed cholesterol efflux, promoted foam cell formation, and exacerbated plaque features (macrophage infiltration, lipid deposition, necrotic cores) in macrophage-specific knockout mice. Conversely, Listerin overexpression attenuated these atherosclerotic manifestations. Mechanistically, Listerin stabilizes ABCA1, a key cholesterol efflux mediator, by catalyzing K63-linked polyubiquitination at residues K1884/K1957, countering ESCRT-mediated lysosomal degradation of ABCA1 induced by oxLDL. ABCA1 agonist Erythrodiol restored cholesterol efflux in Listerin-deficient macrophages, while ABCA1 knockout abolished Listerin's effects in THP-1 cells. This study establishes Listerin as a protective factor in atherosclerosis via post-translational stabilization of ABCA1, offering a potential therapeutic strategy targeting ABCA1 ubiquitination to enhance cholesterol efflux.

Project description:Postprandial dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-driven reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) plays a crucial role in clearing postprandial lipids. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of esculetin, a hypolipidemic substance, in regulating postprandial cholesterol metabolism. We measured postprandial cholesterol levels and conducted metabolomics and transcriptomics studies to understand the effect and underlying mechanism of esculetin on postprandial cholesterol metabolism in mice fed a lipid-rich meal. We found that esculetin significantly elevated the postprandial HDL cholesterol levels and induced alterations in postprandial serum metabolomics and hepatic transcriptomics which involved in the key steps of HDL-driven RCT including lipid metabolism, ABC transporters and bile acid biosynthesis and secretion. Additionally, the ratio and the phagocytic activity of an adipose tissue macrophage subset highly expressing CD36 and Tim4 increased following esculetin administration in mice. CCAAT enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ), a key transcription factor, was involved in the effect of esculetin on macrophages phagocytosis in ox-LDL-stimulated macrophages cells. Therefore, esculetin appears to elevate postprandial HDL levels and regulate postprandial cholesterol metabolism which are associated with the increased phagocytosis of adipose tissue macrophages and C/EBPβ.

Project description:Apolipoprotein E-knock out (apoE-KO) mouse is known as a model animal for atherosclerosis accompanied by spontaneous hypercholesterolemia. When apoE-KO mice were fed a chow supplemented with 1.25% cholesterol (high-Chol diet), cholesterol and bile acids were highly increased in the liver within a week. However, the amount of triacylglycerol (TG) in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), but not in the liver, was reduced by 78%. The epididymal adipose tissue was almost diminished in the long term. Cholesterol metabolism is tightly regulated by both cholesterol and its metabolites in the mammalian liver, but the regulatory mechanism of TG synthesis remains to be elucidated. To evaluate the impact of high-Chol diet for 1 week on gene expression in the liver of apoE-KO mice, DNA microarray analysis was performed with comparison to apoE-KO mice fed a normal chow. We found that mRNA expression related to lipid metabolism was suppressed by the high-Chol diet in the liver of apoE-KO mice, which includes beta-oxidation and glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) pathway for TG synthesis. In particular, the mRNA and protein expression of lipin-1 and lipin-2 was markedly decreased. PGC-1?, which up-regulates the transcription of lipin-1, was also suppressed. Lipin is reported to function as a coactivator of PGC-1? and is an inducible amplifier of PPAR?, indicating that the suppression of genes involved in beta-oxidation could be induced by suppression of the lipins. These data using apoE-KO mice indicate that cholesterol and its metabolites are involved in regulating TG metabolism through a suppression of lipin-1 and lipin-2 in the liver. This research provides evidence for the mechanism of lipin expression in the liver. Apo E-KO mice at 10 weeks of age were fed normal chow (control) or high-Chol diet containing 1.25% cholesterol for 1 week. Three independent experiments were performed at each diet.

Project description:Effective pulmonary immunity requires the precise spatial organization of immune cells, yet the mechanisms guiding their intratissue positioning during inflammation remain unclear. Here, we identify a cholesterol-derived chemotactic axis that spatially organizes T helper 2 (TH2) cells during fungal-induced pulmonary type 2 inflammation. Inflammation-expanded macrophages expressing cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (CH25H) produce 25-hydroxycholesterol, which is converted into the oxysterol 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol to attract GPR183-expressing TH2 cells into inflammatory Ly6C+ macrophages, promoting fungal persistence. Disruption of this axis via TH2- specific GPR183 deletion restores type 1 macrophage activation and enhances fungal clearance. Our findings reveal a macrophage-driven, metabolite-based mechanism of immunosuppressive cell positioning in inflamed lung tissue.

Project description:Postprandial dyslipidemia is a recognized risk factor for atherosclerosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated reverse cholesterol transport plays a crucial role in mitigating this risk by clearing postprandial lipids. This study aimed to investigate the impact of esculetin, a 4-Hydroxycoumarin, on postprandial cholesterol metabolism and excretion after a high-fat meal. Esculetin significantly elevated postprandial HDL cholesterol levels in serum and postprandial bile acid levels in bile, and altered serum metabolomics in mice fed a high-fat meal, indicating esculetin promotes HDL-driven cholesterol excretion after a high-fat meal. Furthermore, esculetin administration in mice led to an increase in the ratio and phagocytic activity of a subset of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) expressing high levels of CD36 and Tim4. Inhibition of CD36 by Sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO) blocked esculetin-induced elevation of postprandial serum HDL and bile acid levels in bile. Additionally, esculetin demonstrated the ability to increase the uptake of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) via CD36 in a macrophage cell line, which might involve alteration of the epigenetic landscape controlled by CCAAT enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ). Esculetin-induced increased uptake of ox-LDL and elevation of CD36 was inhibited in C/EBPβ-deficient cells. A relatively higher expression of C/EBPβ was observed in CD36+ ATMs, and esculetin increased the ratio of C/EBPβ+ CD36+ ATMs in mice fed a lipid-rich meal. Overall, these findings suggest esculetin promotes HDL-mediated postprandial cholesterol excretion by directly binding to C/EBPβ and enhancing CD36-dependent phagocytosis in ATMs.
