Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of proliferative arrest, and the development of carcinoma can be suppressed by conferring tumor cell senescence. Recently, we found that carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) controls tumor cell proliferation and senescence via regulating lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function. Here, 13C-metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) was performed and the results revealed that CPT1C knockdown in MDA-MB-231 cells significantly induced cellular senescence accompanied by altered fatty acid metabolism. Strikingly, stearate synthesis was decreased while oleate was increased. Furthermore, stearate significantly inhibited proliferation while oleate reversed the senescent phenotype induced by silencing CPT1C in MDA-MB-231 cells as well as PANC-1 cells. A939572, an inhibitor of stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1, had the same effect as stearate to inhibit cellular proliferation. These results demonstrated that stearate and oleate are involved in CPT1C-mediated tumor cellular senescence, and the regulation of stearate/oleate rate via inhibition of SCD-1 could be an additional strategy with depletion of CPT1C for cancer therapy.

Abstract
In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), accumulation of abnormal proteins with malformed higher-order structures activates signaling pathways (inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)/X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) pathway, protein kinase RNA-activated-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP) pathway and activating transcription factor 6α (ATF6α) pathway) that result in a cellular response suppressing the production of abnormal proteins or inducing apoptosis. These responses are collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Recently, it has been suggested that the UPR induced by saturated fatty acids in hepatocytes and pancreatic β cells is involved in the development of metabolic diseases such as diabetes. The effect of palmitate, a saturated fatty acid, on the UPR has also been investigated in adipocytes, which are associated with the development of metabolic disorders, but the results were inconclusive. Therefore, as the major saturated fatty acids present in the daily diet are palmitate and stearate, we examined the effects of these saturated fatty acids on UPR in adipocytes. Here, we show that saturated fatty acids caused limited activation of the UPR in adipocytes. Exposure to stearate for several hours elevated the ratio of spliced XBP-1 mRNA, and this effect was stronger than that of palmitate. Moreover, the phosphorylation level of IRE1α, upstream of XBP-1 and expression levels of its downstream targets such as DNAJB9 and Pdia6 were elevated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes exposed to stearate. On the other hand, stearate did not affect the phosphorylation of PERK, its activation of CHOP, or the cleavage of ATF6α. Thus, in adipocytes, exposure to stearate activates the UPR via the IRE1α/XBP-1 pathway, but not the PERK/CHOP and ATF6α pathway.

Abstract
Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and its receptor GFRAL are both involved in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. Plasmatic GDF-15 level increases with obesity and is positively associated with disease progression. Despite macrophages have been recently suggested as a key source of GDF-15 in obesity, little is known about the regulation of GDF-15 in these cells. In the present work, we sought for potential pathophysiological activators of GDF15 expression in human macrophages and identified saturated fatty acids (SFAs) as strong inducers of GDF15 expression and secretion. SFAs increase GDF15 expression through the induction of an ER stress and the activation of the PERK/eIF2/CHOP signaling pathway in both PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells and in primary monocyte-derived macrophages. The transcription factor CHOP directly binds to the GDF15 promoter region and regulates GDF15 expression. Unlike SFAs, unsaturated fatty acids do not promote GDF15 expression and rather inhibit both SFA-induced GDF15 expression and ER stress. These results suggest that free fatty acids may be involved in the control of GDF-15 and provide new molecular insights about how diet and lipid metabolism may regulate the development of obesity and T2D.

Abstract
The effectiveness of dispersed nanomaterials to improve the thermal performance of phase change materials (PCMs) is well-proven in the literature. The proposal of new engineered nanoenhanced phase change materials (NePCMs) with customized characteristics may lead to more efficient thermal energy storage (TES) systems. This work is focused on the development of new NePCMs based on the dispersions of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) or MgO nanoparticles in a stearate PCM. The new proposed materials were synthesized using a two-step method, and acetic acid was selected as a surfactant to improve the stability of the dispersions. An extensive characterization of the constitutive materials and the developed dispersions using different spectroscopy techniques is reported. Also, the GnP nanopowder was explored by using the XPS technique with the aim to characterize the used carbon nanomaterial. The obtained spectra were investigated in terms of the chemical bonds related to the observed peaks. The thermophysical profile (density, thermal conductivity, isobaric heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity) was experimentally determined once the main components of the NePCMs were characterized and dispersions were designed and developed. This discussion focuses on the differentiated and distinguished effects of the dispersed GnPs and MgO on the properties of the NePCMs. A comprehensive analysis of the measurements to elucidate the mechanism that promoted higher improvements using GnPs instead of MgO was performed.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia associated with T2D leads to diabetic neuropathy, a complication characterized by sensory neuronal dysfunction and peripheral nerve damage. Sensory dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are dependent on axonal mitochondrial energy production facilitated by mitochondrial transport mechanisms that distribute mitochondria throughout the axon. Because long-chain saturated FAs (SFAs) damage DRG neurons and medium-chain SFAs are reported to improve neuronal function, we evaluated the impact of SFA chain length on mitochondrial trafficking, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis. DRG neurons were exposed to SFAs with C12:0-C18:0 chain lengths and evaluated for changes in mitochondrial trafficking, mitochondrial polarization, and apoptosis. DRG neurons treated with C16:0 and C18:0 SFAs showed a significant decrease in the percentage of motile mitochondria and velocity of mitochondrial trafficking, whereas C12:0 and C14:0 SFAs had no impact on motility. Treatment with C16:0 and C18:0 SFAs exhibited mitochondrial depolarization correlating with impaired mitochondrial motility; the C12:0- and C14:0-treated neurons retained mitochondrial polarization. The reduction in mitochondrial trafficking and function in C16:0- and C18:0-treated DRG neurons correlated with apoptosis that was blocked in C12:0 and C14:0 SFA treatments. These results suggest that SFA chain length plays an important role in regulating axonal mitochondrial trafficking and function in DRG neurons.

Abstract
The induction of autophagy usually requires the activation of PIK3C3/VPS34 (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, catalytic subunit type 3) within a multiprotein complex that contains BECN1 (Beclin 1, autophagy related). PIK3C3 catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidylinositol into phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P). PtdIns3P associates with growing phagophores, which recruit components of the autophagic machinery, including the lipidated form of MAP1LC3B/LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 β). Depletion of BECN1, PIK3C3 or some of their interactors suppresses the formation of MAP1LC3B(+) phagophores or autophagosomes elicited by most physiological stimuli, including saturated fatty acids. We observed that cis-unsaturated fatty acids stimulate the generation of cytosolic puncta containing lipidated MAP1LC3B as well as the autophagic turnover of long-lived proteins in the absence of PtdIns3P accumulation. In line with this notion, cis-unsaturated fatty acids require neither BECN1 nor PIK3C3 to stimulate the autophagic flux. Such a BECN1-independent autophagic response is phylogenetically conserved, manifesting in yeast, nematodes, mice and human cells. Importantly, MAP1LC3B(+) puncta elicited by cis-unsaturated fatty acids colocalize with Golgi apparatus markers. Moreover, the structural and functional collapse of the Golgi apparatus induced by brefeldin A inhibits cis-unsaturated fatty acid-triggered autophagy. It is tempting to speculate that the well-established health-promoting effects of cis-unsaturated fatty acids are linked to their unusual capacity to stimulate noncanonical, BECN1-independent autophagic responses.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in many obesity-associated diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and gouty arthritis, through its ability to induce interleukin (IL)-1β release. The molecular link between obesity and inflammasome activation is still unclear, but free fatty acids have been proposed as one triggering event. Here we reported opposite effects of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) compared with unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) on NLRP3 inflammasome in human monocytes/macrophages. Palmitate and stearate, both SFAs, triggered IL-1β secretion in a caspase-1/ASC/NLRP3-dependent pathway. Unlike SFAs, the UFAs oleate and linoleate did not lead to IL-1β secretion. In addition, they totally prevented the IL-1β release induced by SFAs and, with less efficiency, by a broad range of NLRP3 inducers, including nigericin, alum, and monosodium urate. UFAs did not affect the transcriptional effect of SFAs, suggesting a specific effect on the NLRP3 activation. These results provide a new anti-inflammatory mechanism of UFAs by preventing the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and, therefore, IL-1β processing. By this way, UFAs might play a protective role in NLRP3-associated diseases.

Abstract
1. Real time, in vivo microvoltammetric studies were performed, using miniature carbon-based sensors, to concurrently detect norepinephrine (NE) release and serotonin (5-HT) release, in 2 separate electrochemical signals, within CA1 region of hippocampus in the freely moving and behaving, male, Sprague Dawley laboratory rat. 2. Concurrently, four parameters of open-field behavior, i.e. Ambulations, Rearing, Fine Movements and Central Ambulatory behavior (a measure of anxiety reduction behavior), were assayed by infrared photobeam detection. 3. Time course studies showed that the mechanism of action of the triazolobenzodiazepine (TBZD), adinazolam, (Deracyn) is dramatically different from that of the classical benzodiazepine (BZD), diazepam (Valium, i.e., adinazolam increased, whereas diazepam decreased, 5-HT release within CA1 region of hippocampus in the freely moving and behaving rat. 4. Adinazolam initially increased NE release and then decreased NE release in CA1 region of hippocampus in the freely moving and behaving rat whereas diazepam only decreased the electrochemical signal for NE; the decrease in NE produced by adinazolam was greater than the decrease in NE release produced by diazepam. 5. The Behavioral Activity Patterns, derived from same animal controls, simultaneously with detection of in vivo microvoltammetric signals for NE release and 5-HT release, showed that the BZD, diazepam, exhibited more potent sedative properties than did the TBZD adinazolam. 6. Hippocampal 5-HT and NE release effects of the TBZD, adinazolam, concomitant with behavioral effects lends explanation to the dual anxiolytic/antidepressant properties of the TBZDs.
