Acyl-CoA thioesterases (ACOTs) catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to free fatty acids and coenzyme A. Recent studies have
demonstrated that one gene named Acot7, reported to be mainly expressed in brain and testis, is transcribed in several different isoforms by alternative usage of
first exons. Strongly decreased levels of ACOT7 activity and protein in both mitochondria and cytosol was reported in patients
diagnosed with fatty acid oxidation defects, linking ACOT7 function to regulation of fatty acid oxidation in other tissues.
In this study, we have identified five possible first exons in mouse Acot7 (Acot7a–e) and show that all five first exons are transcribed in a tissue-specific manner. Taken together, these data show that the
Acot7 gene is expressed as multiple isoforms in a tissue-specific manner, and that expression in tissues other than brain and testis
is likely to play important roles in fatty acid metabolism.

Studies of regulation of free fatty acid (FFA) utilization by skeletal muscles have focused on plasma FFA delivery and on
intracellular factors affecting FFA metabolism. The present study was conducted to directly analyse the uptake process of
fatty acids into single myocytes. Cells were isolated from the rat flexor digitorum brevis muscle. Confocal laser scanning
microscopy was utilized to analyse the uptake of the fluorescent fatty acid derivative 12-NBD-stearate, which is not metabolized
by muscle tissue. Uptake represented a saturable function of the unbound fatty acid concentration in the medium (K
m 366 ± 118 nM, V
max 2.1 ± 0.3 AU/s) and depended on the medium sodium concentration. Reduced buffer pH increased initial uptake rates, whereas
lactate (10 mM) had no effect. Membrane hyper- and depolarization decreased uptake rates. This study demonstrates for the
first time kinetic data from isolated myocytes with evidence for a carrier-mediated transport mechanism for long-chain fatty
acids.

Necroptosis and ferroptosis are alternative cell death pathways that operate in acute kidney failure
Tammo Müller Christin Dewitz Jessica Schmitz Anna Sophia Schröder Jan Hinrich Bräsen Brent R. Stockwell James M. Murphy Ulrich Kunzendorf Stefan Krautwald 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》2017,74(19):3631-3645
Ferroptosis is a recently recognized caspase-independent form of regulated cell death that is characterized by the accumulation of lethal lipid ROS produced through iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Considering that regulation of fatty acid metabolism is responsible for the membrane-resident pool of oxidizable fatty acids that undergo lipid peroxidation in ferroptotic processes, we examined the contribution of the key fatty acid metabolism enzyme, acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), in regulating ferroptosis. By using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we found that knockout of Acsl4 in ferroptosis-sensitive murine and human cells conferred protection from erastin- and RSL3-induced cell death. In the same cell types, deletion of mixed lineage kinase domain-like (Mlkl) blocked susceptibility to necroptosis, as expected. Surprisingly, these studies also revealed ferroptosis and necroptosis are alternative, in that resistance to one pathway sensitized cells to death via the other pathway. These data suggest a mechanism by which one regulated necrosis pathway compensates for another when either ferroptosis or necroptosis is compromised. We verified the synergistic contributions of ferroptosis and necroptosis to tissue damage during acute organ failure in vivo. Interestingly, in the course of pathophysiological acute ischemic kidney injury, ACSL4 was initially upregulated and its expression level correlated with the severity of tissue damage. Together, our findings reveal ACSL4 to be a reliable biomarker of the emerging cell death modality of ferroptosis, which may also serve as a novel therapeutic target in preventing pathological cell death processes. 相似文献

Role of nitric oxide in the functional response to ischemia-reperfusion of heart mitochondria from hyperthyroid rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the mitochondrial derangement associated with the functional response to ischemia-reperfusion of hyperthyroid rat hearts. Mitochondria were isolated at 3000 g from hearts subjected to ischemia-reperfusion, with or without N-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, an NO synthase inhibitor). During reperfusion, hyperthyroid hearts displayed tachycardia and low functional recovery. Their mitochondria exhibited O2 consumption similar to euthyroid controls, while H2O2 production, hydroperoxide, protein-bound carbonyl and nitrotyrosine levels, and susceptibility to swelling were higher. L-NNA blocked the reperfusion tachycardic response and increased inotropic recovery in hyperthyroid hearts. L-NNA decreased mitochondrial H2O2 production and oxidative damage, and increased respiration and tolerance to swelling. Such effects were higher in hyperthyroid preparations. These results confirm the role of mitochondria in ischemia-reperfusion damage, and strongly suggest that NO overproduction is involved in the high mitochondrial dysfunction and the low recovery of hyperthyroid hearts from ischemia-reperfusion. L-NNA also decreased protein content and cytochrome oxidase activity of a mitochondrial fraction isolated at 8000 g. This and previous results suggest that the above fraction contains, together with light mitochondria, damaged mitochondria coming from the heaviest fraction, which has the highest cytochrome oxidase activity and capacity to produce H2O2. Therefore, we propose that the high mitochondrial susceptibility to swelling, favoring mitochondrial population purification from H2O2-overproducing mitochondria, limits hyperthyroid heart oxidative stress.Received 24 March 2004; received after revision 9 June 2004; accepted 5 July 2004 相似文献

Mitochondrial dysfunction and protein kinase C (PKC) activation are consistently found in diabetic cardiomyopathy but their
relationship remains unclear. This study identified mitochondrial aconitase as a downstream target of PKC activation using
immunoblotting and mass spectrometry, and then characterized phosphorylation-induced changes in its activity in hearts from
type 1 diabetic rats. PKCβ2 co-immunoprecipitated with phosphorylated aconitase from mitochondria isolated from diabetic hearts. Augmented phosphorylation
of mitochondrial aconitase in diabetic hearts was found to be associated with an increase in its reverse activity (isocitrate
to aconitate), while the rate of the forward activity was unchanged. Similar results were obtained on phosphorylation of mitochondrial
aconitase by PKCβ2 in vitro. These results demonstrate the regulation of mitochondrial aconitase activity by PKC-dependent phosphorylation. This may
influence the activity of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and contribute to impaired mitochondrial function and energy metabolism
in diabetic hearts.

The currently available medical treatment options of adrenocortical cancer (ACC) are limited. In our previous meta-analysis of adrenocortical tumor genomics data, ACC was associated with reduced retinoic acid production and retinoid X receptor-mediated signaling. Our objective has been to study the potential antitumoral effects of 9-cis retinoic acid (9-cisRA) on the ACC cell line NCI-H295R and in a xenograft model. Cell proliferation, hormone secretion, and gene expression have been studied in the NCI-H295R cell line. A complex bioinformatics approach involving pathway and network analysis has been performed. Selected genes have been validated by real-time qRT-PCR. Athymic nude mice xenografted with NCI-H295R have been used in a pilot in vivo xenograft model. 9-cisRA significantly decreased cell viability and steroid hormone secretion in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in the NCI-H295R cell line. Four major molecular pathways have been identified by the analysis of gene expression data. Ten genes have been successfully validated involved in: (1) steroid hormone secretion (HSD3B1, HSD3B2), (2) retinoic acid signaling (ABCA1, ABCG1, HMGCR), (3) cell-cycle damage (GADD45A, CCNE2, UHRF1), and the (4) immune response (MAP2K6, IL1R2). 9-cisRA appears to directly regulate the cell cycle by network analysis. 9-cisRA also reduced tumor growth in the in vivo xenograft model. In conclusion, 9-cisRA might represent a promising new candidate in the treatment of hormone-secreting adrenal tumors and adrenocortical cancer. 相似文献

Bet3, a transport protein particle component involved in vesicular trafficking, contains a hydrophobic tunnel occupied by
a fatty acid linked to cysteine 68. We reported that Bet3 has a unique self-palmitoylating activity. Here we show that mutation
of arginine 67 reduced self-palmitoylation of Bet3, but the effect was compensated by increasing the pH. Thus, arginine helps
to deprotonate cysteine such that it could function as a nucleophile in the acylation reaction which is supported by the structural
analysis of non-acylated Bet3. Using fluorescence spectroscopy we show that long-chain acyl-CoAs bind with micromolar affinity
to Bet3, whereas shorter-chain acyl-CoAs do not interact. Mutants with a deleted acylation site or a blocked tunnel bind to
Pal-CoA, only the latter with slightly reduced affinity. Bet3 contains three binding sites for Pal-CoA, but their number was
reduced to two in the mutant with an obstructed tunnel, indicating that Bet3 contains binding sites on its surface. 相似文献

Summary Weak and strong organic bases behave in an opposite manner in respect to several mitochondrial functions. The former induce a catalytic exchange with K+ in valinomycon-treated, respiratory-inhibited mitochondria, and act as uncouplers in respiring mitochondria. The latter induce a stoicheometric exchange with K+ and are actively taken up by respiring mitochondria. 相似文献

Thyroid hormone controls carnitine status through modifications of γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase activity and gene expression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The carnitine system plays a key role in β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids by permitting their transport into the mitochondrial
matrix. The effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were studied on γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBH), the enzyme responsible
for carnitine biosynthesis in the rat. In rat liver, BBH activity was decreased in the hypothyroid state and increased in
hyperthyroid animals. The modifications in BBH activity correlated with changes in the enzyme Vmax values. These changes were
shown to be related to hepatic BBH mRNA abundance. Thyroid hormones are known to interact with lipid metabolism, in particular
by increasing long-chain fatty acid oxidation through activation of carnitine-dependent fatty acid import into mitochondria.
Our study showed that thyroid hormones also increased carnitine bioavailability.

Summary Compared with rats fed a normal diet, the activity of the protein inhibitor of acetyl CoA carboxylase in rat liver doubled after 48 h of fasting. Conversely, acetyl CoA carboxylase activity was diminished by nearly one half. In animals fasted and then subsequently refed a fat free diet, acetyl CoA carboxylase activity was elevated by nearly 9-fold, with a concomitant decrease in the activity of the protein inhibitor by about 9-fold as compared to fasted rats. Hence it appears that the regulatory protein inhibitor for acetyl CoA carboxylase is of physiological significance for fatty acid biosynthesis.This work supported by grants AM 01383 and AM 21148 from the National Institute of Artheritis, Metabolic and Digestive Disease.

Cancer cell metabolism is characterized by limited oxidative phosphorylation in order to minimize oxidative stress. We have
previously shown that the flavonoid flavone in HT-29 colon cancer cells increases the uptake of pyruvate or lactate into mitochondria,
which is followed by an increase in O2−.. production that finally leads to apoptosis. Similarly, a supply of palmitoylcarnitine in combination with carnitine induces
apoptosis in HT-29 cells by increasing the mitochondrial respiration rate. Here we show that flavone-induced apoptosis is
increased more than twofold in the presence of palmitoylcarnitine due to increased mitochondrial fatty acid transport and
the subsequent metabolic generation of O2−. in mitochondria is the initiating factor for the execution of apoptosis.

Functions of fatty acid binding proteins 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Cytosolic fatty acid binding proteins (FABP) belong to a gene family of which eight members have been conclusively identified. These 14-15 kDa proteins are abundantly expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. Although the functions of the cytosolic FABP are not clearly established, they appear to enhance the transfer of long-chain fatty acids between artificial and native lipid membranes, and also to have a stimulatory effect on a number of enzymes of fatty acid metabolism in vitro. These findings, as well as the tissue expression, ligand binding properties, ontogeny and regulation of these proteins provide a considerable body of indirect evidence supporting a broad role for the FABP in the intracellular transport and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. The available data also support the existence of structure- and tissue-specific specialization of function among different members of the FABP gene family. Moreover, FABP may also have a possible role in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation, possibly by virtue of their affinity for ligands such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and fatty acids, which are known to influence cell growth activity. FABP structurally unrelated to the cytosolic gene family have also been identified in the plasma membranes of several tissues (FABPpm). These proteins have not been fully characterized to date, but strong evidence suggest that they function in the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the plasma membrane. 相似文献

The mechanism by which the novel, pure glucose-dependent insulinotropic, imidazoline derivative BL11282 promotes insulin secretion
in pancreatic islets has been investigated. The roles of KATP channels, α2-adrenoreceptors, the I1-receptor-phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase (PC-PLC) pathway and arachidonic acid signaling in BL11282 potentiation
of insulin secretion in pancreatic islets were studied. Using SUR1(-/-) deficient mice, the previous notion that the insulinotropic activity of BL11282 is not related to its interaction with KATP channels was confirmed. Insulinotropic activity of BL11282 was not related to its effect on α2-adrenoreceptors, I1-imidazoline receptors or PC-PLC. BL11282 significantly increased [3H]arachidonic acid production. This effect was abolished in the presence of the iPLA2 inhibitor, bromoenol lactone. The data suggest that potentiation of glucose-induced insulin release by BL11282, which is
independent of concomitant changes in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration, involves release of arachidonic acid by iPLA2 and its metabolism to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids through the cytochrome P-450 pathway.

Peroxisomes are essential subcellular organelles involved in a variety of metabolic processes. Their importance is underlined by the identification of a large group of inherited diseases in humans in which one or more of the peroxisomal functions are impaired. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used as a model organism to study the functions of peroxisomes. Efficient oxidation of fatty acids does not only require the participation of peroxisomal enzymes but also the active involvement of other gene products. One group of important gene products in this respect includes peroxisomal membrane proteins involved in metabolite transport. This overview discusses the various aspects of fatty acid -oxidation in S. cerevisiae. Addressed are the various enzymes and their particular functions as well as the various transport mechanisms to take up fatty acids into peroxisomes or to export the -oxidation products out of the peroxisome to mitochondria for full oxidation to CO2 and H2O.Received 19 February 2003; received after revision 27 March 2003; accepted 27 March 2003 相似文献

Summary The contents of fatty acid CoA derivatives were measured in mouse liver after whole-body X-irradiation with 690 R. While the contents are almost unchanged in fed mice, a decrease occurs in 24 h starved mice after the irradiation. The results are discussed with respect to fatty acid synthesis. 相似文献

Peroxisomes metabolize a variety of lipids, acting as a chain-shortening system that produces
acyl-CoAs of varying chain lengths, including acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. It is, however, still largely
unknown how β-oxidation products exit peroxisomes and where they are further metabolized. Peroxisomes
contain carnitine acetyltransferase (CRAT) and carnitine octanoyltransferase (CROT) that produce carnitine esters for transport
out of peroxisomes, together with recently characterized acyl-CoA thioesterases (ACOTs) that produce free fatty acids. Here
we have performed tissue expression profiling of the short- and medium-chain carnitine acyltransferases Crat, Crot and the short- and medium-chain thioesterases (Acot12) and (Acot5), and show that they are largely expressed in different tissues, suggesting that they do not compete for the same substrates
but rather provide complementary systems for transport of metabolites across the peroxisomal membrane. These data also explain
earlier observed tissue differences in peroxisomal production of acetyl-CoA/acetyl-carnitine/acetate and underscores the differences
in peroxisome function in various organs.

Oxidative stress and hypoxia-like injury cause Alzheimer-type molecular abnormalities in central nervous system neurons 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Neuronal loss and neuritic/cytoskeletal lesions (synaptic disconnection and proliferation of dystrophic neurites) represent
major dementia-associated abnormalities in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study examined the role of oxidative stress as a
factor contributing to both the cell death and neuritic degeneration cascades in AD. Primary neuron cultures were treated
with H2O2 (9–90 μM) or desferrioxamine (2–25 μM) for 24 h and then analyzed for viability, mitochondrial mass, mitochondrial function,
and pro-apoptosis and sprouting gene expression. H2O2 treatment causes free-radical injury and desferrioxamine causes hypoxia-type injury without free radical generation. The
H2O2-treated cells exhibited sustained viability but neurite retraction, impaired mitochondrial function, increased levels of
the pro-apoptosis gene product CD95/Fas, reduced expression of N2J1-immunoreactive neuronal thread protein and synaptophysin,
and reduced distribution of mitochondria in neuritic processes. Desferrioxamine treatment resulted in dose-dependent neuronal
loss associated with impaired mitochondrial function, proliferation of neurites, and reduced expression of GAP-43, which has
a role in path-finding during neurite outgrowth. The results suggest that oxidative stress can cause neurodegeneration associated
with enhanced susceptibility to apoptosis due to activation of pro-apoptosis genes, neurite retraction (synaptic disconnection),
and impaired transport of mitochondria to cell processes where they are likely required for synaptic function. In contrast,
hypoxia-type injury causes neuronal loss with proliferation of neurites (sprouting), impaired mitochondrial function, and
reduced expression of molecules required to form and maintain synaptic connections. Since similar abnormalities occur in AD,
both oxidative stress and hypoxic injury can contribute to AD neurodegeneration.

Mitochondrial metabolism is crucial for the coupling of glucose recognition to the exocytosis of the insulin granules. This is illustrated by in vitro and in vivo observations discussed in the present review. Mitochondria generate ATP, which is the main coupling messenger in insulin secretion. However, the subsequent Ca2+ signal in the cytosol is necessary but not sufficient for full development of sustained insulin secretion. Hence, mitochondria generate ATP and other coupling factors serving as fuel sensors for the control of the exocytotic process. Numerous studies have sought to identify the factors that mediate the amplifying pathway over the Ca2+ signal in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Predominantly, these factors are nucleotides (GTP, ATP, cAMP, NADPH), although metabolites have also been proposed, such as long-chain acyl-CoA derivatives and glutamate. Hence, the classical neurotransmitter glutamate receives a novel role, that of an intracellular messenger or co-factor in insulin secretion. This scenario further highlights the importance of glutamate dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial enzyme well recognized to play a key role in the control of insulin secretion. Therefore, additional putative messengers of mitochondrial origin are likely to participate in insulin secretion. 相似文献
