Wang W, Ma C, Zhang Q, Jiang Y. TMT-labeled quantitative malonylome analysis on the longissimus dorsi muscle of Laiwu pigs reveals the role of ACOT7 in fat deposition. J Proteomics 2024; 298:105129. [PMID: 38395145 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2024.105129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
The Laiwu pig is an indigenous fatty pig breed distributed in North China, characterized by an extremely high level of intramuscular fat (IMF) content (9% ∼ 12%), but the regulatory mechanism underlying intramuscular fat deposition in skeletal muscle is still unknown. In this study, the TMT-labeled quantitative malonylome of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Laiwu pigs at the fastest IMF deposition stage (240 d vs 120 d) was compared to analyze the molecular mechanism of IMF variation in pigs. In Laiwu pigs aged 240 days/120 days, we identified 291 malonylated lysine sites across 188 proteins in the longissimus dorsi muscle. Among these, 38 sites across 31 proteins exhibited differential malonylation. Annotation analysis and enrichment analysis were performed for differentially malonylated proteins (DMPs). These DMPs were mainly clustered into 12 GO functional categories accounting for 5 biological processes, 4 cellular components and 3 molecular functions, and 2 signaling pathways by KEGG enrichment analysis. The function of differentially malonylated protein ACOT7 in the process of fat deposition was further investigated during the differentiation of 3 T3-L1 cells. The results showed that the protein level of ACOT7 in 3 T3-L1 cells decreased but the malonylated level of ACOT7 increased significantly. The malonyl-CoA that is synthesized by ACSF3 affected the malonylation level of ACOT7 in 3 T3-L1 cells. SIGNIFICANCE: The intramuscular fat (IMF) content, by affecting sensory quality traits of meat, such as tenderness, flavor and juiciness, plays an important role in meat quality. Using TMT-based quantitative malonylated proteome analysis, we identified malonylated proteins in LD muscle samples in two stages (120 d and 240 d) of development and further identified differentially malonylated proteins, such as SLC25A4, ANXA5, TPM3 and ACOT7, that are associated with intramuscular fat deposition and fat metabolism in pigs. These differentially malonylated proteins could serve as candidates for elucidating the molecular mechanism of IMF deposition in pigs. In addition, we found that the malonyl-CoA in 3 T3-L1 cells is mainly synthesized by ACSF3, affecting the malonylated level of ACOT7. The study provides some data concerning the role of protein malonylation in regulating the variation in porcine IMF content.

Khandibharad S, Singh S. Single-cell ATAC sequencing identifies sleepy macrophages during reciprocity of cytokines in L. major infection. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0347823. [PMID: 38299832 PMCID: PMC10913457 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03478-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The hallmark characteristic of macrophages lies in their inherent plasticity, allowing them to adapt to dynamic microenvironments. Leishmania strategically modulates the phenotypic plasticity of macrophages, creating a favorable environment for intracellular survival and persistent infection through regulatory cytokine such as interleukin (IL)-10. Nevertheless, these effector cells can counteract infection by modulating crucial cytokines like IL-12 and key components involved in its production. Using sophisticated tool of single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin (ATAC) sequencing, we systematically examined the regulatory axis of IL-10 and IL-12 in a time-dependent manner during Leishmania major infection in macrophages Our analysis revealed the cellular heterogeneity post-infection with the regulators of IL-10 and IL-12, unveiling a reciprocal relationship between these cytokines. Notably, our significant findings highlighted the presence of sleepy macrophages and their pivotal role in mediating reciprocity between IL-10 and IL-12. To summarize, the roles of cytokine expression, transcription factors, cell cycle, and epigenetics of host cell machinery were vital in identification of sleepy macrophages, which is a transient state where transcription factors controlled the epigenetic remodeling and expression of genes involved in pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and recruitment of immune cells.IMPORTANCELeishmaniasis is an endemic affecting 99 countries and territories globally, as outlined in the 2022 World Health Organization report. The disease's severity is compounded by compromised host immune systems, emphasizing the pivotal role of the interplay between parasite and host immune factors in disease regulation. In instances of cutaneous leishmaniasis induced by L. major, macrophages function as sentinel cells. Our findings indicate that the plasticity and phenotype of macrophages can be modulated to express a cytokine profile involving IL-10 and IL-12, mediated by the regulation of transcription factors and their target genes post-L. major infection in macrophages. Employing sophisticated methodologies such as single-cell ATAC sequencing and computational genomics, we have identified a distinctive subset of macrophages termed "sleepy macrophages." These macrophages exhibit downregulated housekeeping genes while expressing a unique set of variable features. This data set constitutes a valuable resource for comprehending the intricate host-parasite interplay during L. major infection.

Abstract
Mammalian cell membranes composed of a mixture of glycerophospholipids, the relative composition of individual phospholipids and the dynamic flux vary between cells. In addition to their structural role, membrane phospholipids are involved in cellular signalling and immunomodulatory functions. In this study, we investigate the molecular membrane composition and dynamic flux of phosphatidylcholines in CD15+ leucocytes and CD3+ lymphocytes extracted from patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We identified compositional variations between these cell types, where CD15+ cells had relatively higher quantities of alkyl-acyl PC species and CD3+ cells contained more arachidonoyl-PC species. There was a significant loss of arachidonoyl-PC in CD3+ cells in ARDS patients. Moreover, there were significant changes in PC composition and the methyl-D9 enrichment of individual molecular species in CD15+ cells from ARDS patients. This is the first study to perform an in vivo assessment of membrane composition and dynamic changes in immunological cells from ARDS patients.

Abstract
In this work, the incorporation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages and its redistribution within the various phospholipid classes were investigated. Choline glycerophospholipids (PC) behaved as the major initial acceptors of DHA. Prolonged incubation with the fatty acid resulted in the transfer of DHA from PC to ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (PE), reflecting phospholipid remodeling. This process resulted in the cells containing similar amounts of DHA in PC and PE in the resting state. Mass spectrometry-based lipidomic analyses of phospholipid molecular species indicated a marked abundance of DHA in ether phospholipids. Stimulation of the macrophages with yeast-derived zymosan resulted in significant decreases in the levels of all DHA-containing PC and PI species; however, no PE or PS molecular species were found to decrease. In contrast, the levels of an unusual DHA-containing species, namely PI(20:4/22:6), which was barely present in resting cells, were found to markedly increase under zymosan stimulation. The levels of this phospholipid also significantly increased when the calcium-ionophore A23187 or platelet-activating factor were used instead of zymosan to stimulate the macrophages. The study of the route involved in the synthesis of PI(20:4/22:6) suggested that this species is produced through deacylation/reacylation reactions. These results define the increases in PI(20:4/22:6) as a novel lipid metabolic marker of mouse macrophage activation, and provide novel information to understand the regulation of phospholipid fatty acid turnover in activated macrophages.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a recognized nosocomial pathogen with limited antibiotic treatment options. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) constitute a promising therapeutic alternative. Here we studied the antibacterial properties of a collection of LAB strains using phenotypic and transcriptomic analysis against A. baumannii clinical strains. One strain, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL 2244, demonstrated a potent inhibitory capacity on A. baumannii with a significant killing activity. Scanning electron microscopy images showed changes in the morphology of A. baumannii with an increased formation of outer membrane vesicles. Significant changes in the expression levels of a wide variety of genes were also observed. Interestingly, most of the modified genes were involved in a metabolic pathway known to be associated with the survival of A. baumannii. The paa operon, Hut system, and fatty acid degradation were some of the pathways that were induced. The analysis reveals the impact of Lcb. rhamnosus CRL 2244 on A. baumannii response, resulting in bacterial stress and subsequent cell death. These findings highlight the antibacterial properties of Lcb. rhamnosus CRL 2244 and its potential as an alternative or complementary strategy for treating infections. Further exploration and development of LAB as a treatment option could provide valuable alternatives for combating CRAB infections.

Abstract
Acinetobacter infections have high rates of mortality due to an increasing incidence of infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug-resistant (XDR) strains. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of Acinetobacter infections are urgently needed. Acinetobacter spp. are Gram-negative coccobacilli that are obligate aerobes and can utilize a wide variety of carbon sources. Acinetobacter baumannii is the main cause of Acinetobacter infections, and recent work has identified multiple strategies A. baumannii uses to acquire nutrients and replicate in the face of host nutrient restriction. Some host nutrient sources also serve antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Hence, understanding Acinetobacter metabolism during infection may provide new insights into novel infection control measures. In this review, we focus on the role of metabolism during infection and in resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents and discuss the possibility that metabolism may be exploited to identify novel targets to treat Acinetobacter infections.

Abstract
We present a method of producing bulk cell-cultured fat tissue for food applications. Mass transport limitations (nutrients, oxygen, waste diffusion) of macroscale 3D tissue culture are circumvented by initially culturing murine or porcine adipocytes in 2D, after which bulk fat tissue is produced by mechanically harvesting and aggregating the lipid-filled adipocytes into 3D constructs using alginate or transglutaminase binders. The 3D fat tissues were visually similar to fat tissue harvested from animals, with matching textures based on uniaxial compression tests. The mechanical properties of cultured fat tissues were based on binder choice and concentration, and changes in the fatty acid compositions of cellular triacylglyceride and phospholipids were observed after lipid supplementation (soybean oil) during in vitro culture. This approach of aggregating individual adipocytes into a bulk 3D tissue provides a scalable and versatile strategy to produce cultured fat tissue for food-related applications, thereby addressing a key obstacle in cultivated meat production.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo compare the differences in salivary metabolites between caries-active and caries-free children in the mixed dentition, and explore their correlation with caries status.MethodsThe study involved 20 children (aged 8–9 years) in the mixed dentition, including 10 caries-active (aged 8.6 ± 0.49years) and 10 caries-free children(aged 8.5 ± 0.5years), with a male/female ratio of 1:1. The saliva samples were collected from all children. Metabolite extraction, LC-MS/MS-based untargeted metabolomics, qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis and bioinformatics analysis were performed to identify differential metabolites between the two sample groups. The differential metabolites identified were further analyzed in an attempt to find their correlations with caries status.ResultsIn the positive ion mode, a total of 1606 molecular features were detected in the samples of the two groups, 189 of which were differential metabolites when comparing the caries-active group with the caries-free group, including 104 up-regulated and 85 down-regulated metabolites. In the negative ion mode, a total of 532 molecular features were detected in the samples of two groups, 70 of which were differential metabolites when comparing the caries-active group with the caries-free group, including 37 up-regulated and 33 down-regulated metabolites. In the positive ion mode, two of the top 5 up-regulated differential metabolites were found in and annotated to specific metabolic pathways, whereas in the negative ion mode, only one of the top 5 up-regulated differential metabolites was found in and annotated to specific metabolic pathways. In both the positive and negative ion modes, the top 5 down-regulated differential metabolites were both annotated to the metabolic pathways. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites showed that histamine and arachidonic acid identified in the positive ion mode, as well as succinate and L-histidine identified in the negative ion mode were enriched in the top 3 significantly altered pathways.ConclusionThe enriched differential metabolites including histamine, L-histidine and succinate were correlated with the presence of dental caries, but their role in the caries process needs to be further investigated.

Compartmentalized regulation of lipid signaling in oxidative stress and inflammation: Plasmalogens, oxidized lipids and ferroptosis as new paradigms of bioactive lipid research. Prog Lipid Res 2023; 89:101207. [PMID: 36464139 DOI: 10.1016/j.plipres.2022.101207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Perturbations in lipid homeostasis combined with conditions favoring oxidative stress constitute a hallmark of the inflammatory response. In this review we focus on the most recent results concerning lipid signaling in various oxidative stress-mediated responses and inflammation. These include phagocytosis and ferroptosis. The best characterized event, common to these responses, is the synthesis of oxygenated metabolites of arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids. Major developments in this area have highlighted the importance of compartmentalization of the enzymes and lipid substrates in shaping the appropriate response. In parallel, other relevant lipid metabolic pathways are also activated and, until recently, there has been a general lack of knowledge on the enzyme regulation and molecular mechanisms operating in these pathways. Specifically, data accumulated in recent years on the regulation and biological significance of plasmalogens and oxidized phospholipids have expanded our knowledge on the involvement of lipid metabolism in the progression of disease and the return to homeostasis. These recent major developments have helped to establish the concept of membrane phospholipids as cellular repositories for the compartmentalized production of bioactive lipids involved in cellular regulation. Importantly, an enzyme classically described as being involved in regulating the homeostatic turnover of phospholipids, namely the group VIA Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β), has taken center stage in oxidative stress and inflammation research owing to its key involvement in regulating metabolic and ferroptotic signals arising from membrane phospholipids. Understanding the role of iPLA2β in ferroptosis and metabolism not only broadens our knowledge of disease but also opens possible new horizons for this enzyme as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Differential Mobilization of the Phospholipid and Triacylglycerol Pools of Arachidonic Acid in Murine Macrophages. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12121851.

Abstract
Innate immune cells such as monocytes and macrophages contain high levels of arachidonic acid (AA), part of which can be mobilized during cellular activation for the formation of a vast array of bioactive oxygenated metabolites. Monocytes and macrophages present in inflammatory foci typically incorporate large amounts of AA, not only in membrane phospholipids, but also in neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol. Thus, it was of interest to investigate the metabolic fate of these two AA pools in macrophages. Utilizing a variety of radiolabeling techniques to distinguish the phospholipid and triacylglycerol pools, we show in this paper that during an acute stimulation of the macrophages with yeast-derived zymosan, the membrane phospholipid AA pool acts as the major, if not the only, source of releasable AA. On the contrary, the AA pool in triacylglycerol appears to be used at a later stage, when the zymosan-stimulated response has declined, as a source to replenish the phospholipid pools that were consumed during the activation process. Thus, phospholipids and triacylglycerol play different in roles AA metabolism and dynamics during macrophage activation.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIPn) in mammalian tissues are enriched in the stearoyl/arachidonoyl acyl chain species ("C38:4"), but its functional significance is unclear. We have used metabolic tracers (isotopologues of inositol, glucose and water) to study PIPn synthesis in cell lines in which this enrichment is preserved to differing relative extents. We show that PIs synthesised from glucose are initially enriched in shorter/more saturated acyl chains, but then rapidly remodelled towards the C38:4 species. PIs are also synthesised by a distinct 're-cycling pathway', which utilises existing precursors and exhibits substantial selectivity for the synthesis of C38:4-PA and -PI. This re-cycling pathway is rapidly stimulated during receptor activation of phospholipase-C, both allowing the retention of the C38:4 backbone and the close coupling of PIPn consumption to its resynthesis, thus maintaining pool sizes. These results suggest that one property of the specific acyl chain composition of PIPn is that of a molecular code, to facilitate 'metabolic channelling' from PIP2 to PI via pools of intermediates (DG, PA and CDP-DG) common to other lipid metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics rely on the proton motive force to enter the bacterial cell, and facultative anaerobes like Staphylococcus aureus can shift energy generation from respiration to fermentation, becoming tolerant of aminoglycosides. Following this metabolic shift, high concentrations of aminoglycosides are required to eradicate S. aureus infections, which endangers the host due to the toxicity of aminoglycosides. Membrane-disrupting molecules prevent aminoglycoside tolerance in S. aureus by facilitating passive entry of the drug through the membrane. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increase membrane permeability when incorporated into S. aureus. Here, we report that the abundant host-derived PUFA arachidonic acid increases the susceptibility of S. aureus to aminoglycosides, decreasing the aminoglycoside concentration needed to kill S. aureus. We demonstrate that PUFAs and aminoglycosides synergize to kill multiple strains of S. aureus, including both methicillin-resistant and -susceptible S. aureus. We also present data showing that PUFAs and aminoglycosides effectively kill S. aureus small colony variants, strains that are particularly recalcitrant to killing by many antibiotics. We conclude that cotreatment with PUFAs, which are molecules with low host toxicity, and aminoglycosides decreases the aminoglycoside concentration necessary to kill S. aureus, lowering the toxic side effects to the host associated with prolonged aminoglycoside exposure. IMPORTANCE Staphylococcus aureus infects every niche of the human host, and these infections are the leading cause of Gram-positive sepsis. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are inexpensive, stable, and effective against many bacterial infections. However, S. aureus can shift its metabolism to become tolerant of aminoglycosides, requiring increased concentrations and/or longer courses of treatment, which can cause severe host toxicity. Here, we report that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which have low host toxicity, disrupt the S. aureus membrane, making the pathogen susceptible to aminoglycosides. Additionally, cotreatment with aminoglycosides is effective at killing S. aureus small colony variants, strains that are difficult to treat with antibiotics. Taken together, the data presented herein show the promise of PUFA cotreatment to increase the efficacy of aminoglycosides against S. aureus infections and decrease the risk to the human host of antibiotic-induced toxicity.

Toxicokinetics of Arenobufagin and its Cardiotoxicity Mechanism Exploration Based on Lipidomics and Proteomics Approaches in Rats. Front Pharmacol 2022; 12:780016.

Abstract
Arenobufagin (ArBu), one of the main active bufadienolides of toad venom with cardiotonic effect, analgesic effect, and outstanding anti-tumor potentiality, is also a potential cardiotoxic component. In the present study, the cardiac effect of ArBu and its underlying mechanism were explored by integrating data such as heart rates, toxicokinetics, myocardial enzyme and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) activity, pathological sections, lipidomics and proteomics. Under different doses, the cardiac effects turned out to be different. The oral dose of 60 mg/kg of ArBu sped up the heart rate. However, 120 mg/kg ArBu mainly reduced the heart rate. Over time, they all returned to normal, consisting of the trend of ArBu concentration-time curve. High concentrations of myocardial enzymes and BNP indicated that ArBu inhibited or impaired the cardiac function of rats. Pathological sections of hearts also showed that ArBu caused myocardial fiber disorder and rupture, in which the high-dose group was more serious. At the same time, serum and heart tissue lipidomics were used to explore the changes in body lipid metabolism under different doses. The data indicated a larger difference in the high-dose ArBu group. There were likewise many significant differences in the proteomics of the heart. Furthermore, a multi-layered network was used to integrate the above information to explore the potential mechanism. Finally, 4 proteins that were shown to be significantly and differentially expressed were validated by targeted proteomics using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis. Our findings indicated that ArBu behaved as a bidirectional regulation of the heart. The potential mechanism of cardiac action was revealed with the increased dose, which provided a useful reference for the safety of clinical application of ArBu.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2021; 1866:159016.

Abstract
A high intake in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (C20:5 n-3), is cardioprotective. Dietary PUFAs incorporate into membrane phospholipids, which may modify the function of membrane proteins. We investigated the consequences of the membrane incorporation of several PUFAs on the key antiatherogenic ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux pathway. Human THP-1 macrophages were incubated with EPA, arachidonic acid (AA) (C20:4 n-6) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (C22:6 n-3) for a long time to mimic a chronic exposure. EPA 70 μM, but not AA 50 μM or DHA 15 μM, increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein (apo) AI by 28% without altering aqueous diffusion. No variation in ABCA1 expression or localization was observed after EPA treatment. EPA incorporation did not affect the phenotype of THP-1 macrophages. The membrane phospholipids composition of EPA cells displayed higher levels of both EPA and its elongation product docosapentaenoic acid, which was associated with drastic lower levels of AA. Treatment by EPA increased the ATPase activity of the transporter, likely through a PKA-dependent mechanism. Eicosanoids were not involved in the stimulated ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from EPA-enriched macrophages. In addition, EPA supplementation increased the apo AI binding capacity from macrophages by 38%. Moreover, the increased apo AI binding in EPA-enriched macrophages can be competed. In conclusion, EPA membrane incorporation increased ABCA1 functionality in cholesterol-normal human THP-1 macrophages, likely through a combination of different mechanisms. This beneficial in vitro effect may partly contribute to the cardioprotective effect of a diet enriched with EPA highlighted by several recent clinical trials.

Abstract
Macrophages are professional antigen presenting cells with intense phagocytic activity, strategically distributed in tissues and cavities. These cells are capable of responding to a wide variety of innate inflammatory stimuli, many of which are signaled by lipid mediators. The distribution of arachidonic acid (AA) among glycerophospholipids and its subsequent release and conversion into eicosanoids in response to inflammatory stimuli such as zymosan, constitutes one of the most studied models. In this work, we used liquid and/or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to study the changes in the levels of membrane glycerophospholipids of mouse peritoneal macrophages and the implication of group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) in the process. In the experimental model used, we observed that the acute response of macrophages to zymosan stimulation involves solely the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), which mediates the rapid synthesis of prostaglandins E2 and I2. Using pharmacological inhibition and antisense inhibition approaches, we established that cPLA2α is the enzyme responsible for AA mobilization. Zymosan stimulation strongly induced the hydrolysis of AA-containing choline glycerophospholipids (PC) and a unique phosphatidylinositol (PI) species, while the ethanolamine-containing glycerophospholipids remained constant or slightly increased. Double-labeling experiments with 3H- and 14C-labeled arachidonate unambiguously demonstrated that PC is the major, if not the exclusive source, of AA for prostaglandin E2 production, while both PC and PI appeared to contribute to prostaglandin I2 synthesis. Importantly, in this work we also show that the COX-1-derived prostaglandins produced during the early steps of macrophage activation restrict tumor necrosis factor-α production. Collectively, these findings suggest new approaches and targets to the selective inhibition of lipid mediator production in response to fungal infection.

Abstract
Positional isomers of hexadecenoic acid are considered as fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties. The best known of them, palmitoleic acid (cis-9-hexadecenoic acid, 16:1n-7), has been identified as a lipokine with important beneficial actions in metabolic diseases. Hypogeic acid (cis-7-hexadecenoic acid, 16:1n-9) has been regarded as a possible biomarker of foamy cell formation during atherosclerosis. Notwithstanding the importance of these isomers as possible regulators of inflammatory responses, very little is known about the regulation of their levels and distribution and mobilization among the different lipid pools within the cell. In this work, we describe that the bulk of hexadecenoic fatty acids found in mouse peritoneal macrophages is esterified in a unique phosphatidylcholine species, which contains palmitic acid at the sn-1 position, and hexadecenoic acid at the sn-2 position. This species markedly decreases when the macrophages are activated with inflammatory stimuli, in parallel with net mobilization of free hexadecenoic acid. Using pharmacological inhibitors and specific gene-silencing approaches, we demonstrate that hexadecenoic acids are selectively released by calcium-independent group VIA phospholipase A2 under activation conditions. While most of the released hexadecenoic acid accumulates in free fatty acid form, a significant part is also transferred to other phospholipids to form hexadecenoate-containing inositol phospholipids, which are known to possess growth-factor-like-properties, and are also used to form fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids, compounds with known anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Collectively, these data unveil new pathways and mechanisms for the utilization of palmitoleic acid and its isomers during inflammatory conditions, and raise the intriguing possibility that part of the anti-inflammatory activity of these fatty acids may be due to conversion to other lipid mediators.

Differential Modulation of the Phospholipidome of Proinflammatory Human Macrophages by the Flavonoids Quercetin, Naringin and Naringenin. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25153460.

Abstract
The immunomodulatory activity of flavonoids is increasingly appreciated. Macrophage phospholipids (PLs) play crucial roles in cell-mediated inflammatory responses. However, little is known on how these PLs are affected upon flavonoid treatment. In this work, we have used mass-spectrometry-based lipidomics to characterize the changes in the phospholipidome of proinflammatory human-macrophage-like cells (THP-1-derived and LPS+IFN-γ-stimulated) incubated with non-cytotoxic concentrations of three flavonoids: quercetin, naringin and naringenin. One hundred forty-seven PL species belonging to various classes were identified, and their relative abundances were determined. Each flavonoid displayed its own unique signature of induced effects. Quercetin produced the strongest impact, acting both on constitutive PLs (phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines and sphingomyelins) and on minor signaling lipids, such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylserine (PS) species. Conversely, naringin hardly affected structural PLs, producing changes in signaling molecules that were opposite to those seen in quercetin-treated macrophages. In turn, albeit sharing some effects with quercetin, naringenin did not change PI and PS levels and interfered with a set of phosphatidylcholines distinct from those modulated by quercetin. These results demonstrate that flavonoids bioactivity involves profound and specific remodeling of macrophage phospholipidome, paving the way to future studies on the role of cellular phospholipids in flavonoid-mediated immunomodulatory effects.

Type I Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate 5-Kinases α and γ Play a Key Role in Targeting HIV-1 Pr55 Gag to the Plasma Membrane. J Virol 2020; 94:JVI.00189-20. [PMID: 32376619 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00189-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
HIV-1 assembly occurs principally at the plasma membrane (PM) of infected cells. Gag polyprotein precursors (Pr55Gag) are targeted to the PM, and their binding is mediated by the interaction of myristoylated matrix domain and a PM-specific phosphoinositide, the phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. The major synthesis pathway of PI(4,5)P2 involves the activity of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase family type 1 composed of three isoforms (PIP5K1α, PIP5K1β, and PIP5K1γ). To examine whether the activity of a specific PIP5K1 isoform determines proper Pr55Gag localization at the PM, we compared the cellular behavior of Pr55Gag in the context of PIP5K1 inhibition using siRNAs that individually targeted each of the three isoforms in TZM-bl HeLa cells. We found that downregulation of PIP5K1α and PIP5K1γ strongly impaired the targeting of Pr55Gag to the PM with a rerouting of the polyprotein within intracellular compartments. The efficiency of Pr55Gag release was thus impaired through the silencing of these two isoforms, while PIP5K1β is dispensable for Pr55Gag targeting to the PM. The PM mistargeting due to the silencing of PIP5K1α leads to Pr55Gag hydrolysis through lysosome and proteasome pathways, while the silencing of PIP5K1γ leads to Pr55Gag accumulation in late endosomes. Our findings demonstrated that, within the PIP5K1 family, only the PI(4,5)P2 pools produced by PIP5K1α and PIP5K1γ are involved in the Pr55Gag PM targeting process.IMPORTANCE PM specificity of Pr55Gag membrane binding is mediated through the interaction of PI(4,5)P2 with the matrix (MA) basic residues. It was shown that overexpression of a PI(4,5)P2-depleting enzyme strongly impaired PM localization of Pr55Gag However, cellular factors that control PI(4,5)P2 production required for Pr55Gag-PM targeting have not yet been characterized. In this study, by individually inhibiting PIP5K1 isoforms, we elucidated a correlation between PI(4,5)P2 metabolism pathways mediated by PIP5K1 isoforms and the targeting of Pr55Gag to the PM of TZM-bl HeLa cells. Confocal microscopy analyses of cells depleted from PIP5K1α and PIP5K1γ show a rerouting of Pr55Gag to various intracellular compartments. Notably, Pr55Gag is degraded by the proteasome and/or by the lysosomes in PIP5K1α-depleted cells, while Pr55Gag is targeted to endosomal vesicles in PIP5K1γ-depleted cells. Thus, our results highlight, for the first time, the roles of PIP5K1α and PIP5K1γ as determinants of Pr55Gag targeting to the PM.

Contrasting effects of membrane enrichment with polyunsaturated fatty acids on phospholipid composition and cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded J774 mouse or primary human macrophages. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2019; 1865:158536. [PMID: 31672574 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2019.158536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
A high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly n-3 PUFAs, is atheroprotective. PUFAs incorporation into membrane phospholipids alters the functionality of membrane proteins. We studied the consequences of the in vitro supplementation of several PUFAs on the FA profiles and on ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux capacities from cholesterol-loaded macrophages. Arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4 n-6) and, to a lesser extent, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5 n-3), dose-dependently impaired cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded J774 mouse macrophages without alterations in ABCA1 expression, whereas docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 n-3) had no impact. AA cells exhibited higher proportions of arachidonic acid and adrenic acid (C22:4 n-6), its elongation product. EPA cells exhibited slightly higher proportions of EPA associated with much higher proportions of docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5 n-3), its elongation product and with lower proportions of AA. Conversely, both EPA and DHA and, to a lesser extent, AA decreased cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded primary human macrophages (HMDM). The differences observed in FA profiles after PUFA supplementations were different from those observed for the J774 cells. In conclusion, we are the first to report that AA and EPA, but not DHA, have deleterious effects on the cardioprotective ABCA1 cholesterol efflux pathway from J774 foam cells. Moreover, the membrane incorporation of PUFAs does not have the same impact on cholesterol efflux from murine (J774) or human (HMDM) cholesterol-loaded macrophages. This finding emphasizes the key role of the cellular model in cholesterol efflux studies and may partly explain the heterogeneous literature data on the impact of PUFAs on cholesterol efflux.

Arachidonic Acid Kills Staphylococcus aureus through a Lipid Peroxidation Mechanism. mBio 2019; 10:e01333-19.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus infects every niche of the human host. In response to microbial infection, vertebrates have an arsenal of antimicrobial compounds that inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacterial cells. One class of antimicrobial compounds consists of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are highly abundant in eukaryotes and encountered by S. aureus at the host-pathogen interface. Arachidonic acid (AA) is one of the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acids in vertebrates and is released in large amounts during the oxidative burst. Most of the released AA is converted to bioactive signaling molecules, but, independently of its role in inflammatory signaling, AA is toxic to S. aureus Here, we report that AA kills S. aureus through a lipid peroxidation mechanism whereby AA is oxidized to reactive electrophiles that modify S. aureus macromolecules, eliciting toxicity. This process is rescued by cotreatment with antioxidants as well as in a S. aureus strain genetically inactivated for lcpA (USA300 ΔlcpA mutant) that produces lower levels of reactive oxygen species. However, resistance to AA stress in the USA300 ΔlcpA mutant comes at a cost, making the mutant more susceptible to β-lactam antibiotics and attenuated for pathogenesis in a murine infection model compared to the parental methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain, indicating that resistance to AA toxicity increases susceptibility to other stressors encountered during infection. This report defines the mechanism by which AA is toxic to S. aureus and identifies lipid peroxidation as a pathway that can be modulated for the development of future therapeutics to treat S. aureus infections.IMPORTANCE Despite the ability of the human immune system to generate a plethora of molecules to control Staphylococcus aureus infections, S. aureus is among the pathogens with the greatest impact on human health. One class of host molecules toxic to S. aureus consists of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we investigated the antibacterial properties of arachidonic acid, one of the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acids in humans, and discovered that the mechanism of toxicity against S. aureus proceeds through lipid peroxidation. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which the immune system kills S. aureus, and by which S. aureus avoids host killing, will enable the optimal design of therapeutics that complement the ability of the vertebrate immune response to eliminate S. aureus infections.

Neutral Lipids Are Not a Source of Arachidonic Acid for Lipid Mediator Signaling in Human Foamy Monocytes. Cells 2019; 8:cells8080941.

Abstract
Human monocytes exposed to free arachidonic acid (AA), a secretory product of endothelial cells, acquire a foamy phenotype which is due to the accumulation of cytoplasmic lipid droplets with high AA content. Recruitment of foamy monocytes to the inflamed endothelium contributes to the development of atherosclerotic lesions. In this work, we investigated the potential role of AA stored in the neutral lipids of foamy monocytes to be cleaved by lipases and contribute to lipid mediator signaling. To this end, we used mass spectrometry-based lipidomic approaches combined with strategies to generate monocytes with different concentrations of AA. Results from our experiments indicate that the phospholipid AA pool in monocytes is stable and does not change upon exposure of the cells to the external AA. On the contrary, the AA pool in triacylglycerol is expandable and can accommodate relatively large amounts of fatty acid. Stimulation of the cells with opsonized zymosan results in the expected decreases of cellular AA. Under all conditions examined, all of the AA decreases observed in stimulated cells were accounted for by decreases in the phospholipid pool; we failed to detect any contribution of the triacylglycerol pool to the response. Experiments utilizing selective inhibitors of phospholipid or triacylglyerol hydrolysis confirmed that the phospholipid pool is the sole contributor of the AA liberated by stimulated cells. Thus, the AA in the triacylglycerol is not a source of free AA for the lipid mediator signaling during stimulation of human foamy monocytes and may be used for other cellular functions.

Cellular Plasmalogen Content Does Not Influence Arachidonic Acid Levels or Distribution in Macrophages: A Role for Cytosolic Phospholipase A 2γ in Phospholipid Remodeling. Cells 2019; 8:cells8080799.

Abstract
Availability of free arachidonic acid (AA) constitutes a rate limiting factor for cellular eicosanoid synthesis. AA distributes differentially across membrane phospholipids, which is largely due to the action of coenzyme A-independent transacylase (CoA-IT), an enzyme that moves the fatty acid primarily from diacyl phospholipid species to ether-containing species, particularly the ethanolamine plasmalogens. In this work, we examined the dependence of AA remodeling on plasmalogen content using the murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 and its plasmalogen-deficient variants RAW.12 and RAW.108. All three strains remodeled AA between phospholipids with similar magnitude and kinetics, thus demonstrating that cellular plasmalogen content does not influence the process. Cell stimulation with yeast-derived zymosan also had no effect on AA remodeling, but incubating the cells in AA-rich media markedly slowed down the process. Further, knockdown of cytosolic-group IVC phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ) by RNA silencing significantly reduced AA remodeling, while inhibition of other major phospholipase A2 forms such as cytosolic phospholipase A2α, calcium-independent phospholipase A2β, or secreted phospholipase A2 had no effect. These results uncover new regulatory features of CoA-IT-mediated transacylation reactions in cellular AA homeostasis and suggest a hitherto unrecognized role for cPLA2γ in maintaining membrane phospholipid composition via regulation of AA remodeling.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the major worldwide cause of mortality for patients with coronary heart disease. Many traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions for atherosclerosis treatment have been tried in patients. Dan-Lou prescription, which is improved from Gualou-Xiebai-Banxia decoction, has been used to treat chest discomfort (coronary atherosclerosis) for approximately 2,000 years in China. Although the anti-inflammatory activities of Dan-Lou prescription have been proposed previously, the mechanism remains to be explored. Based on the interaction between inflammation and atherosclerosis, we further investigated the effect of Dan-Lou prescription on macrophage-derived foam cell formation and disclosed the underlying mechanisms. In the oxidative low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induced foam cells model using murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, the ethanol extract from Dan-Lou prescription (EEDL) reduced ox-LDL uptake and lipid deposition by inhibiting the protein and mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 and scavenger receptor (SR)B1. After stimulation with ox-LDL, the metabolic profile of macrophages was also changed, while the intervention of the EEDL mainly regulated the metabolism of isovalerylcarnitine, arachidonic acid, cholesterol, aspartic acid, arginine, lysine, L-glutamine and phosphatidylethanolamine (36:3), which participated in the regulation of the inflammatory response, lipid accumulation and cell apoptosis. In total, 27 inflammation-related gene targets were screened, and the biological mechanisms, pathways and biological functions of the EEDL on macrophage-derived foam cells were systemically analyzed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis system (IPA). After verification, we found that EEDL alleviated ox-LDL induced macrophage foam cell formation by antagonizing the mRNA and protein over-expression of PPARγ, blocking the phosphorylation of IKKα/β, IκBα and NF-κB p65 and maintaining the expression balance between Bax and Bcl-2. In conclusion, we provided evidences that Dan-Lou prescription effectively attenuated macrophage foam cell formation via the TLR4/NF-κB and PPARγ signaling pathways.

Abstract
Ectopic lipid accumulation in the liver is implicated in metabolic disease in an age- and sex-dependent manner. The role of hepatic lipids has been well established within the scope of metabolic insults in mice, but has been insufficiently characterized under standard housing conditions, where age-related metabolic alterations are known to occur. We studied a total of 10 male and 10 female mice longitudinally. At 3, 7 and 11 months of age, non-invasive 1 H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS) was used to monitor hepatic lipid content (HLC) and fatty acid composition in vivo, and glucose homeostasis was assessed with glucose and insulin challenges. At the end of the study, hepatic lipids were comprehensively characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric analyses of liver tissue samples. In males, HLC increased from 1.4 ± 0.1% at 3 months to 2.9 ± 0.3% at 7 months (p < 0.01) and 2.7 ± 0.3% at 11 months (p < 0.05), in correlation with fasting insulin levels (p < 0.01, r = 0.51) and parameters from the insulin tolerance test (ITT; p < 0.001, r = -0.69 versus area under the curve; p < 0.01, r = -0.57 versus blood glucose drop at 1 h post-ITT; p < 0.01, r = 0.55 versus blood glucose at 3 h post-ITT). The metabolic performance of females remained the same throughout the study, and HLC was higher than that of males at 3 months (2.7 ± 0.2%, p < 0.01), but comparable at 7 months (2.2 ± 0.2%) and 11 months (2.2 ± 0.1%). Strong sexual dimorphism in bioactive lipid species, including diacylglycerols (higher in males, p < 0.0001), phosphatidylinositols (higher in females, p < 0.001) and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (higher in females, p < 0.01), was found to be in good correlation with metabolic scores at 11 months. Therefore, in mice housed under standard conditions, sex-specific composition of bioactive lipids is associated with metabolic protection in females, whose metabolic performance was independent of hepatic cytosolic lipid content.

Abstract
Determining the impact of lipid electrophile-mediated protein damage that occurs during oxidative stress requires a comprehensive analysis of electrophile targets adducted under pathophysiological conditions. Incorporation of ω-alkynyl linoleic acid into the phospholipids of macrophages prior to activation by Kdo2-lipid A, followed by protein extraction, click chemistry, and streptavidin affinity capture, enabled a systems-level survey of proteins adducted by lipid electrophiles generated endogenously during the inflammatory response. Results revealed a dramatic enrichment for membrane and mitochondrial proteins as targets for adduction. A marked decrease in adduction in the presence of MitoTEMPO demonstrated a primary role for mitochondrial superoxide in electrophile generation and indicated an important role for mitochondria as both a source and target of lipid electrophiles, a finding that has not been revealed by prior studies using exogenously provided electrophiles.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are rapidly turning-over phospholipids that play key roles in intracellular signaling and modulation of membrane effectors. Through technical refinements we have improved sensitivity in the analysis of the phosphoinositide PI, PIP, and PIP2 pools from living cells using mass spectrometry. This has permitted further resolution in phosphoinositide lipidomics from cell cultures and small samples of tissue. The technique includes butanol extraction, derivatization of the lipids, post-column infusion of sodium to stabilize formation of sodiated adducts, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode, achieving a detection limit of 20pg. We describe the spectrum of fatty-acyl chains in the cellular phosphoinositides. Consistent with previous work in other mammalian primary cells, the 38:4 fatty-acyl chains dominate in the phosphoinositides of the pineal gland and of superior cervical ganglia, and many additional fatty acid combinations are found at low abundance. However, Chinese hamster ovary cells and human embryonic kidney cells (tsA201) in culture have different fatty-acyl chain profiles that change with growth state. Their 38:4 lipids lose their dominance as cultures approach confluence. The method has good time resolution and follows well the depletion in <20s of both PIP2 and PIP that results from strong activation of Gq-coupled receptors. The receptor-activated phospholipase C exhibits no substrate selectivity among the various fatty-acyl chain combinations.

Abstract
Lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs) directly modify proteins to modulate cellular signaling pathways in response to oxidative stress. One such LDE, 4-oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE), has recently been found to target histones and interfere with histone assembly into nucleosomes. Unlike other LDEs that preferentially modify cysteine via nucleophilic Michael addition, 4-ONE reacts with histone lysine residues to form a new histone modification, gamma-oxononanoylation (Kgon). However, it remains unclear whether Kgon can cause irreversible damage or be regulated by enzymes "erasing" this nonenzymatic modification. Here, we report that human Sirt2 catalyzes the removal of histone Kgon. Among the tested human sirtuins, Sirt2 showed robust deacylase activity toward the Kgon-carrying histone peptides in vitro. We use alkynyl-4-ONE as a chemical reporter for Kgon to demonstrate that Sirt2 is responsible for removing histone Kgon in cells. Furthermore, we develop a ketone-reactive chemical probe to detect histones modified by endogenous 4-ONE in macrophages in response to inflammatory stimulation. Using this probe, we show Sirt2 as a deacylase able to control histone Kgon in stimulated macrophages. This study unravels a new mechanism for the regulation of LDE-derived protein posttranslational modifications, as well as a novel role played by Sirt2 as a histone Kgon deacylase in cytoprotective signaling responses.

Abstract
The highly orchestrated transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming during activation drastically transforms the main functions and physiology of human macrophages across the polarization spectrum. Lipids, for example, can modify protein function by acting remotely as signaling molecules but also locally by altering the physical properties of cellular membranes. These changes play key roles in the functions of highly plastic immune cells due to their involvement in inflammation, immune responses, phagocytosis and wound healing processes. We report an analysis of major membrane lipids of distinct phenotypes of resting (M0), classically activated (M1), alternatively activated (M2a) and deactivated (M2c) human monocyte derived macrophages from different donors. Samples were subjected to supercritical fluid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry analysis, which allowed separations based on lipid class, facilitating the profiling of their fatty acid composition. Different levels of arachidonic acid mobilization as well as other fatty acid changes were observed for different lipid classes in the distinct polarization phenotypes, suggesting the activation of highly orchestrated and specific enzymatic processes in the biosynthesis of lipid signaling molecules and cell membrane remodeling. Thromboxane A2 production appeared to be a specific marker of M1 polarization. These alterations to the global composition of lipid bi-layer membranes in the cell provide a potential methodology for the definition and determination of cellular and tissue activation states.

Abstract
Eicosatrienoic acid (Δ11,14,17-20:3; ETrA) is a rare naturally occurring n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Using murine RAW264.7 cells, the objectives were to determine how ETrA modulated phospholipid fatty acid compositions and the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Incubation cells with ETrA dose-dependently increased the proportions of phospholipid ETrA and its metabolites to 33 % of the fatty acid total. Incorporation of ETrA also reduced the proportions of total n-6 PUFA and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) by 30 and 60 %, respectively. ETrA suppressed LPS-stimulated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression. However, no such suppressive effect on the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cytokines, or expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was observed. As compared with ETrA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) exerted a more potent anti-inflammatory effect. In conclusion, although ETrA suppresses significant NO synthesis and iNOS expression, this n-3 PUFA was a less potent anti-inflammatory agent than EPA.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides in primary mammalian tissue are highly enriched in a stearoyl/arachidonyl (C38:4) diacylgycerol backbone. However, mammalian cells grown in culture typically contain more diverse molecular species of phosphoinositides, characterised by a reduction in arachidonyl content in the sn-2 position. We have analysed the phosphoinositide species in MCF10a cells grown in culture by mass spectrometry. Under either serum or serum starved conditions the most abundant species of PI, PIP, PIP2 and PIP3 had masses which corresponded to C36:2, C38:4, C38:3, C38:2 and C36:1 diacylglycerol backbones and the relative proportions of each molecular species were broadly similar between each phosphoinositide class (approx. 50%, 25%, 10%, 10% and 10% respectively, for the species listed above). Supplementing the culture medium with BSA-loaded arachidonic acid promoted a rapid increase in the proportion of the C38:4 species in all phosphoinositide classes (from approx. 25%-60% of total species within 24 h), but the total amount of all combined species for each class remained remarkably constant. Stimulation of cells, cultured in either normal or arachidonate-enriched conditions, with 2 ng/ml EGF for 90 s caused substantial activation of Class I PI3K and accumulation of PIP3. Despite the increased proportion of C38:4 PIP3 under the arachidonate-supplemented conditions, the total amount of all combined PIP3 species accumulating in response to EGF was the same, with or without arachidonate supplementation; there were however small but significant preferences for the conversion of some PIP2 species to PIP3, with the polyunsaturated C38:4 and C38:3 species being more favoured over other species. These results suggest the enzymes which interconvert phosphoinositides are able to act on several different molecular species and homoeostatic mechanisms are in place to deliver similar phosphoinositide pool sizes under quite different conditions of arachidonate availability. They also suggest enzymes regulating PIP3 levels downstream of growth factor stimulation (i.e. PI3Ks and PIP3-phosphatases) show some acyl selectivity and further work should be directed at assessing whether different acyl species of PIP3 exhibit differing signalling potential.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) oxygenates arachidonic acid (AA) and its ester analog, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), to prostaglandins (PGs) and prostaglandin glyceryl esters (PG-Gs), respectively. Although the efficiency of oxygenation of these substrates by COX-2 in vitro is similar, cellular biosynthesis of PGs far exceeds that of PG-Gs. Evidence that the COX enzymes are functional heterodimers suggests that competitive interaction of AA and 2-AG at the allosteric site of COX-2 might result in differential regulation of the oxygenation of the two substrates when both are present. Modulation of AA levels in RAW264.7 macrophages uncovered an inverse correlation between cellular AA levels and PG-G biosynthesis. In vitro kinetic analysis using purified protein demonstrated that the inhibition of 2-AG oxygenation by high concentrations of AA far exceeded the inhibition of AA oxygenation by high concentrations of 2-AG. An unbiased systems-based mechanistic model of the kinetic data revealed that binding of AA or 2-AG at the allosteric site of COX-2 results in a decreased catalytic efficiency of the enzyme toward 2-AG, whereas 2-AG binding at the allosteric site increases COX-2's efficiency toward AA. The results suggest that substrates interact with COX-2 via multiple potential complexes involving binding to both the catalytic and allosteric sites. Competition between AA and 2-AG for these sites, combined with differential allosteric modulation, gives rise to a complex interplay between the substrates, leading to preferential oxygenation of AA.

Abstract
The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is a retrograde lipid messenger that modulates synaptic function, neurophysiology, and behavior. 2-AG signaling is terminated by enzymatic hydrolysis-a reaction that is principally performed by monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL). MAGL is broadly expressed throughout the nervous system, and the contributions of different brain cell types to the regulation of 2-AG activity in vivo remain poorly understood. Here, we genetically dissect the cellular anatomy of MAGL-mediated 2-AG metabolism in the brain and show that neurons and astrocytes coordinately regulate 2-AG content and endocannabinoid-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity and behavior. We also find that astrocytic MAGL is mainly responsible for converting 2-AG to neuroinflammatory prostaglandins via a mechanism that may involve transcellular shuttling of lipid substrates. Astrocytic-neuronal interplay thus provides distributed oversight of 2-AG metabolism and function and, through doing so, protects the nervous system from excessive CB1 receptor activation and promotes endocannabinoid crosstalk with other lipid transmitter systems.

Abstract
Inositol phospholipids are critical regulators of membrane biology throughout eukaryotes. The general principle by which they perform these roles is conserved across species and involves binding of differentially phosphorylated inositol head groups to specific protein domains. This interaction serves to both recruit and regulate the activity of several different classes of protein which act on membrane surfaces. In mammalian cells, these phosphorylated inositol head groups are predominantly borne by a C38:4 diacylglycerol backbone. We show here that the inositol phospholipids of Dictyostelium are different, being highly enriched in an unusual C34:1e lipid backbone, 1-hexadecyl-2-(11Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-myo-inositol), in which the sn-1 position contains an ether-linked C16:0 chain; they are thus plasmanylinositols. These plasmanylinositols respond acutely to stimulation of cells with chemoattractants, and their levels are regulated by PIPKs, PI3Ks and PTEN. In mammals and now in Dictyostelium, the hydrocarbon chains of inositol phospholipids are a highly selected subset of those available to other phospholipids, suggesting that different molecular selectors are at play in these organisms but serve a common, evolutionarily conserved purpose.

Abstract
Lipid and lipid metabolite profiling are important parameters in understanding the pathogenesis of many diseases. Alkynylated polyunsaturated fatty acids are potentially useful probes for tracking the fate of fatty acid metabolites. The nonenzymatic and enzymatic oxidations of ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid were compared to that of linoleic and arachidonic acid. There was no detectable difference in the primary products of nonenzymatic oxidation, which comprised cis,trans-hydroxy fatty acids. Similar hydroxy fatty acid products were formed when ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid were reacted with lipoxygenase enzymes that introduce oxygen at different positions in the carbon chains. The rates of oxidation of ω-alkynylated fatty acids were reduced compared to those of the natural fatty acids. Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 did not oxidize alkynyl linoleic but efficiently oxidized alkynyl arachidonic acid. The products were identified as alkynyl 11-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid, alkynyl 11-hydroxy-8,9-epoxy-eicosatrienoic acid, and alkynyl prostaglandins. This deviation from the metabolic profile of arachidonic acid may limit the utility of alkynyl arachidonic acid in the tracking of cyclooxygenase-based lipid oxidation. The formation of alkynyl 11-hydroxy-8,9-epoxy-eicosatrienoic acid compared to alkynyl prostaglandins suggests that the ω-alkyne group causes a conformational change in the fatty acid bound to the enzyme, which reduces the efficiency of cyclization of dioxalanyl intermediates to endoperoxide intermediates. Overall, ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid appear to be metabolically competent surrogates for tracking the fate of polyunsaturated fatty acids when looking at models involving autoxidation and oxidation by lipoxygenases.

Abstract
![]()
Lipid
electrophiles modify cellular targets, altering their function.
Here, we describe histones as major targets for modification by 4-oxo-2-nonenal,
resulting in a stable Lys modification structurally analogous to other
histone Lys acylations. Seven adducts were identified in chromatin
isolated from intact cells: four 4-ketoamides to Lys and three Michael
adducts to His. A 4-ketoamide adduct residing at H3K27 was identified
in stimulated macrophages. Modification of histones H3 and H4 prevented
nucleosome assembly.

Abstract
The study aims to develop a rapid, sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with an electrospray ionization quadruple time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS) analytical method for identifying glycerophospholipids (GPLs) from RAW264.7 cells. A total of 78 GPLs including 22 phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), 49 phosphatidylcholines (PCs), four phosphatidylglycerols, one phosphatidylinositol and two unknown GPLs were identified. PC (14:0/16:1), PC (14:0/16:0), PE (0:0/20:3), PE (22:5/0:0) and PE (22:3/0:0) were identified for the first time. The UPLC/Q-TOF-MS method is suitable for targeting analysis of GPLs from RAW264.7 cells, which allows us to find out new GPLs compositions related to inflammatory diseases and to explain their pharmacological roles in inflammatory process.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide family of phospholipids, defined here as PtdIns, PtdIns3P, PtdIns4P, PtdIns5P, PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(3,5)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, play pivotal roles in organising the location and activity of many different proteins acting on biological membranes, including those involved in vesicle and protein trafficking through the endolysosomal system and receptor signal transduction at the plasma membrane. Accurate measurement of the cellular levels of these lipids, particularly the more highly phosphorylated species, is hampered by their high polarity and low cellular concentrations. Recently, much progress has been made in using mass spectrometry to measure many different lipid classes in parallel, an approach generally referred to as 'lipidomics'. Unfortunately, the acidic nature of highly phosphorylated phosphoinositides makes them difficult to measure using these methods, because they yield low levels of useful ions; this is particularly the case with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. We have solved some of these problems by methylating the phosphate groups of these lipids with TMS-diazomethane and describe a simple, integrated approach to measuring PtdIns, PtdInsP, PtdInsP2 and PtdInsP3 classes of lipids, in parallel with other phospholipid species, in cell and tissue extracts. This methodology is sensitive, accurate and robust, and also yields fatty-acyl compositions, suggesting it can be used to further our understanding of both the normal and pathophysiological roles of these important lipids.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2s generate lipid mediators that constitute an important component of the integrated response of macrophages to stimuli of the innate immune response. Because these cells contain multiple phospholipase A2 forms, the challenge is to elucidate the roles that each of these forms plays in regulating normal cellular processes and in disease pathogenesis. A major issue is to precisely determine the phospholipid substrates that these enzymes use for generating lipid mediators. There is compelling evidence that group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) targets arachidonic acid-containing phospholipids but the role of the other cytosolic enzyme present in macrophages, the Ca(2+)-independent group VIA phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β) has not been clearly defined. We applied mass spectrometry-based lipid profiling to study the substrate specificities of these two enzymes during inflammatory activation of macrophages with zymosan. Using selective inhibitors, we find that, contrary to cPLA2α, iPLA2β spares arachidonate-containing phospholipids and hydrolyzes only those that do not contain arachidonate. Analyses of the lysophospholipids generated during activation reveal that one of the major species produced, palmitoyl-glycerophosphocholine, is generated by iPLA2β, with minimal or no involvement of cPLA2α. The other major species produced, stearoyl-glycerophosphocholine, is generated primarily by cPLA2α. Collectively, these findings suggest that cPLA2α and iPLA2β act on different phospholipids during zymosan stimulation of macrophages and that iPLA2β shows a hitherto unrecognized preference for choline phospholipids containing palmitic acid at the sn-1 position that could be exploited for the design of selective inhibitors of this enzyme with therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Influenza A(H1N1)pdm virus caused the first human pandemic of the 21st century. Although various probiotic Lactobacillus species have been shown to have anti-microbial effects against pneumonia-inducing pathogens, the prophylactic efficacy and mechanisms behind their protection remain largely unknown. Here, we evaluated the prophylactic efficacy of heat-killed Lactobacillus pentosus b240 against lethal influenza A(H1N1)pdm virus infection in a mouse model. To further define the protective responses induced by b240, we performed virologic, histopathologic, and transcriptomic analyses on the mouse lungs. Although we did not observe an appreciable effect of b240 on virus growth, cytokine production, or histopathology, gene expressional analysis revealed that oral administration of b240 differentially regulates antiviral gene expression in mouse lungs. Our results unveil the possible mechanisms behind the protection mediated by b240 against influenza virus infection and provide new insights into probiotic therapy.

Abstract
Glycerophosphocholines are the major building blocks of biological membranes. They are also precursors of low-molecular-weight second messengers with mass to charge ratios of 450-600. These messengers include lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs) and lyso-platelet activating factors (PAFs) that may be further processed into PAFs. Often considered as a single species, LPCs, PAFs and lyso-PAFs are, in fact, families of glycerophosphocholine-derived lipids distinguished by the linkage of their sn-1 carbon chains to the phosphoglyceride backbone (ester or ether), their sn-1 carbon chain length and degree of unsaturation, and the identity of their sn-2 constituents (a hydroxyl or acetyl group). Each LPC and PAF species exhibits a different affinity for its cognate G-protein-coupled receptors, and each species elicits receptor-independent actions that play critical signalling roles. Targeted mass spectrometry-based lipidomic approaches are enabling the molecular identification and quantification of these low-abundance second messengers. Variations between datasets map the temporal landscape of second messengers available for signalling, and provide snapshots of the state of structural membrane compositional remodelling at the time of extraction. Here, we review a number of advances in lipidomic methodologies used to identify LPCs, lyso-PAFs and PAFs, and highlight how these targeted approaches are providing valuable insight into the roles played by the cellular lipidome in cell function and disease susceptibility.

Abstract
Activation of macrophages with stimuli of the innate immune response results in the intense remodeling of arachidonate-containing phospholipids, leading to the mobilization of large quantities of this fatty acid for conversion into biologically active eicosanoids. As a consequence of this process, the arachidonate levels in membrane phospholipids markedly decrease. We have applied mass spectrometry-based lipid profiling to study the levels of arachidonate-containing phospholipids under inflammatory activation of macrophages. We identify an unusual inositol phospholipid molecule, PI(20:4/20:4), the levels of which do not decrease but actually increase by 300% after activation of the macrophages. PI(20:4/20:4) is formed and degraded rapidly, suggesting a role for this molecule in regulating cell signaling events. Using a metabolipidomic approach consisting in exposing the cells to deuterium-labeled arachidonate at the time they are exposed to stimuli, we show that PI(20:4/20:4) biosynthesis occurs via the sequential incorporation of arachidonate, first into the sn-2 position of a preformed phosphatidylinositol (PI) molecule, followed by the rapid introduction of a second arachidonate moiety into the sn-1 position. Generation requires the participation of cytosolic phospholipase A2α and CoA-dependent acyltransferases. PI(20:4/20:4) formation is also detected in vivo in murine peritonitis exudates. Elevating the intracellular concentration of PI(20:4/20:4) by introducing the lipid into the cells results in enhancement of the microbicidal capacity of macrophages, as measured by reactive oxygen metabolite production and lysozyme release. These findings suggest that PI(20:4/20:4) is a novel bioactive inositol phospholipid molecule that regulates innate immune responses in macrophages.

Abstract
Cells metabolize arachidonic acid (AA) to adrenic acid (AdA) via 2-carbon elongation reactions. Like AA, AdA can be converted into multiple oxygenated metabolites, with important roles in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, in contrast to AA, there is virtually no information on how the cells regulate the availability of free AdA for conversion into bioactive products. We have used a comparative lipidomic approach with both gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to characterize changes in the levels of AA- and AdA-containing phospholipid species in RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cells. Incubation of the cells with AA results in an extensive conversion to AdA but both fatty acids do not compete with each other for esterification into phospholipids. AdA but not AA, shows preference for incorporation into phospholipids containing stearic acid at the sn-1 position. After stimulation of the cells with zymosan, both AA and AdA are released in large quantities, albeit AA is released to a greater extent. Finally, a variety of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol molecular species contribute to AA; however, AdA is liberated exclusively from phosphatidylcholine species. Collectively, these results identify significant differences in the cellular utilization of AA and AdA by the macrophages, suggesting non-redundant biological actions for these two fatty acids.

Abstract
The in vitro culture of cells offers an extremely valuable method for probing biochemical questions and many commonly-used protocols are available. For mammalian cells a source of lipid is usually provided in the serum component. In this study we examined the question as to whether the nature of the lipid could become limiting at high cell densities and, therefore, prospectively influence the metabolism and physiology of the cells themselves. When B16 mouse melanoma cells were cultured, we noted a marked decrease in the proportions of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with increasing cell density. This was despite considerable quantities of these PUFAs still remaining in the culture medium and seemed to reflect the preferential uptake of unesterified PUFA rather than other lipid classes from the media. The reduction in B16 total PUFA was reflected in changes in about 70% of the molecular species of membrane phosphoglycerides which were analysed by mass spectrometry. The importance of this finding lies in the need for n-3 and n-6 PUFA in mammalian cells (which cannot synthesize their own). Although the cholesterol content of cells was unchanged the amount of cholesterol enrichment in membrane rafts (as assessed by fluorescence) was severely decreased, simultaneous with a reduced heat shock response following exposure to 42°C. These data emphasize the pivotal role of nutrient supply (in this case for PUFAs) in modifying responses to stress and highlight the need for the careful control of culture conditions when assessing cellular responses in vitro.

Abstract
Dietary fish oil containing ω3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), elicit cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects through unresolved mechanisms that may involve competition and inhibition at multiple levels. Here, we report the effects of arachidonic acid (AA), EPA, and DHA supplementation on membrane incorporation, phospholipase A(2) catalyzed release, and eicosanoid production in RAW264.7 macrophages. Using a targeted lipidomics approach, we observed that Toll-like receptor 4 and purinergic receptor activation of supplemented cells leads to the release of 22-carbon fatty acids that potently inhibit cyclooxygenase pathways. This inhibition was able to shunt metabolism of AA to lipoxygenase pathways, augmenting leukotriene and other lipoxygenase mediator synthesis. In resident peritoneal macrophages, docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) was responsible for cyclooxygenase inhibition after EPA supplementation, offering fresh insights into how EPA exerts anti-inflammatory effects indirectly through elongation to 22-carbon DPA.

Abstract
The development of mass spectrometry-based techniques is opening new insights into the understanding of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. AA incorporation, remodeling and release are collectively controlled by acyltransferases, phospholipases and transacylases that exquisitely regulate the distribution of AA between the different glycerophospholipid species and its mobilization during cellular stimulation. Traditionally, studies involving phospholipid AA metabolism were conducted by using radioactive precursors and scintillation counting from thin layer chromatography separations that provided only information about lipid classes. Today, the input of lipidomic approaches offers the possibility of characterizing and quantifying specific molecular species with great accuracy and within a biological context associated to protein and/or gene expression in a temporal frame. This review summarizes recent results applying mass spectrometry-based lipidomic approaches to the identification of AA-containing glycerophospholipids, phospholipid AA remodeling and synthesis of oxygenated metabolites.
