MetabolomicsSystematic analyses of lipid mobilization by human lipid transfer proteins

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) maintain the specialised lipid compositions of biological membranes, and many are associated with disease. In eukaryotes, they support organellar functions by transporting lipids between compartmentalised metabolic pathways. However, for the majority of the hundreds...

MetabolomicsCo-occurrence of direct and indirect extracellular electron transfer mechanisms during electroactive respiration in a dissimilatory sulfate reducing bacterium

Understanding the extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of electroactive bacteria could help determine their potential in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and their microbial syntrophy with redox-active minerals in natural environments. However, the mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer t...

MetabolomicsDeficient Endoplasmic Reticulum-Mitochondrial Phosphatidylserine Transfer Causes Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common liver disease worldwide. Here, we show that the mitochondrial protein mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) protects against liver disease. Reduced Mfn2 expression was detected in liver biopsies from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Moreover, reduced Mfn2...

MetabolomicsATG2A-mediated DAG transfer recruits DGAT2 for lipid droplet growth

Lipid droplet (LD) growth mechanisms and the roles of LD-associated lipid transfer proteins remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the autophagy lipid transfer protein ATG2A has an anabolic role and promotes LD expansion by transferring diacylglycerol (DAG), and potentially triacylglycerol ...

MetabolomicsMetabolomic Responses of Guard Cells and Mesophyll Cells to Bicarbonate
Anthropogenic CO2 presently at 400 ppm is expected to reach 550 ppm in 2050, an increment expected to affect plant growth and productivity. Paired stomatal guard cells (GCs) are the gate-way for water, CO2, and pathogen, while mesophyll cells (MCs) represent the bulk cell-type of green leaves mainly...

MetabolomicsCholesterol metabolism regulates cartilage metabolic-inflammatory crosstalk by triggering osteocyte mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic target for osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered as a metabolic related inflammatory disease in the joint affecting both cartilage and subchondral bone. Cholesterol metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of OA, yet the underlying mechanism still remains elusive. Understanding the role of cholesterol me...

Metabolomics1H HR-MAS NMR Based Metabolic Profiling of Cells in Response to Treatment with a Hexacationic Ruthenium Metallaprism as Potential Anticancer Drug
1H high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy was applied in combination with multivariate statistical analyses to study the metabolic response of whole cells to the treatment with a hexacationic ruthenium metallaprism [1]6+ as potential anticancer drug. Human ovarian cancer cell...

MetabolomicsOVCAR-3 spheroid-derived cells display distinct metabolic profiles
Recently, multicellular spheroids were isolated from a well-established epithelial ovarian cancer cell line, OVCAR-3, and were propagated in vitro. These spheroid derived cells displayed numerous hallmarks of cancer stem cells, which are chemo and radioresistant cells thought to be a significant cau...

MetabolomicsVGLL4 modulates Paneth cells and sustains intestinal homeostasis.
Paneth cells are defensive cells in the intestinal tract, which secrete niche factors and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to maintain the small intestinal stem cell niche and immune homeostasis. Here, we show that Vestigial-like family member 4 (VGLL4) plays a pivotal role in maintaining small intesti...
