Research progress on FASN and MGLL in the regulation of abnormal lipid metabolism and the relationship

Jingyue Zhang, Yawen Song, Qianqian Shi, Li Fu

《医学前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第5期页码 649-656 doi: 10.1007/s11684-021-0830-0

摘要： Tumorigenesis involves metabolic reprogramming and abnormal lipid metabolism, which is manifested by increased endogenous fat mobilization, hypertriglyceridemia, and increased fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a key enzyme for the synthesis of fatty acids, and monoacylglycerol esterase (MGLL) is an important metabolic enzyme that converts triglycerides into free fatty acids. Both enzymes play an important role in lipid metabolism and are associated with tumor-related signaling pathways, the most common of which is the PI3K–AKT signaling pathway. They can also regulate the immune microenvironment, participate in epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and then regulate tumor invasion and metastasis. Current literature have shown that these two genes are abnormally expressed in many types of tumors and are highly correlated with tumor migration and invasion. This article introduces the structures and functions of FASN and MGLL, their relationship with abnormal lipid metabolism, and the mechanism of the regulation of tumor invasion and metastasis and reviews the research progress of the relationship of FASN and MGLL with tumor invasion and metastasis.

Zooming in and out of ferroptosis in human disease

《医学前沿（英文）》 2023年第17卷第2期页码 173-206 doi: 10.1007/s11684-023-0992-z

摘要： Ferroptosis is defined as an iron-dependent regulated form of cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. In the past decade, it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases that together involve almost every organ of the body, including various cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, endocrine metabolic diseases, iron-overload-related diseases, orthopedic diseases and autoimmune diseases. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis and its regulatory pathways could provide additional strategies for the management of these disease conditions. Indeed, there are an expanding number of studies suggesting that ferroptosis serves as a bona-fide target for the prevention and treatment of these diseases in relevant pre-clinical models. In this review, we summarize the progress in the research into ferroptosis and its regulatory mechanisms in human disease, while providing evidence in support of ferroptosis as a target for the treatment of these diseases. We also discuss our perspectives on the future directions in the targeting of ferroptosis in human disease.

Light-Responsive Gene BcCfaS Regulates the Photomorphogenesis and Virulence of Botrytis cinerea via LipidMetabolism

Guangjin Li,Zhanquan Zhang,Yong Chen,Tong Chen,Boqiang Li,Shiping Tian,

《工程（英文）》 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2023.08.015

摘要： Light is a fundamental environmental factor for living organisms on earth—not only as a primary energy source but also as an informational signal. In fungi, light can be used as an indicator for both time and space to control important physiological and morphological responses. Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) is a devastating phytopathogenic fungus that exploits light cues to optimize virulence and the balance between conidiation and sclerotia development, thereby improving its dispersal and survival in ecosystems. However, the components and mechanisms underlying these processes remain obscure. Here, we identify a novel light-signaling component in B. cinerea, BcCfaS, which encodes a putative cyclopropane fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase. BcCfaS is strongly induced by light at the transcriptional level and plays a crucial role in regulating photomorphogenesis. Deletion of BcCfaS results in reduced vegetative growth, altered colony morphology, impaired sclerotial development, and enhanced conidiation in a light-dependent manner. Moreover, the mutant exhibits serious defects in stress response and virulence on the host. Based on a lipidomics analysis, a number of previously unknown fungal lipids and many BcCfaS-regulated lipids are identified in B. cinerea, including several novel phospholipids and fatty acids. Importantly, we find that BcCfaS controls conidiation and sclerotial development by positively regulating methyl jasmonate (MeJA) synthesis to activate the transcription of light-signaling components, revealing for the first time the metabolic base of photomorphogenesis in fungi. Thus, we propose that BcCfaS serves as an integration node for light and lipid metabolism, thereby providing a regulatory mechanism by which fungi adapt their development to a changing light environment. These new findings provide an important target for antifungal design to prevent and control fungal disease.

《环境科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2016年第10卷第3期页码 548-558 doi: 10.1007/s11783-016-0831-4

摘要： The objective of this study is to select and characterize the candidate for synchronous water purification and lipid production from eight freshwater microalgae strains ( sp. HQ, , , , , , , sp. LX1). The strains sp. HQ, . , and . showed superiority in biomass accumulation, while the top biomass producers did not correspond to the top lipid producers. achieved higher lipid content (66.1%), and sp. HQ and ranked down in sequence, with lipid content above 30%. Considering nutrient removal ability (total nitrogen (TN): 52.97%; total phosphorus (TP): 84.81%), the newly isolated microalga sp. HQ was the possible candidate for water purification coupled with lipid production. To further investigate the lipid producing and nutrient removal mechanism of candidate microalga, the ultra structural changes especially the lipid droplets under different water qualities (different TN and TP concentrations) were characterized. The results elucidate the nutrient-deficiency (TN: 3.0 mg·L ; TP: 0.3 mg·L ) condition was in favor of forming lipid bodies in sp. HQ at the sub-cellular level, while the biomass production was inhibited due to the decrease in chloroplast number which could further suppress the nutrient removal effect. Finally, a two-phase cultivation process (a nutrient replete phase to produce biomass followed by a nutrient deplete phase to enhance lipid content) was conducted in a photo-bioreactor for sp. HQ to serve for algae-based synchronous biodiesel production and wastewater purification.

Proteins moonlighting in tumor metabolism and epigenetics

Lei Lv, Qunying Lei

《医学前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第3期页码 383-403 doi: 10.1007/s11684-020-0818-1

摘要： Cancer development is a complicated process controlled by the interplay of multiple signaling pathways and restrained by oxygen and nutrient accessibility in the tumor microenvironment. High plasticity in using diverse nutrients to adapt to metabolic stress is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. To respond to nutrient stress and to meet the requirements for rapid cell proliferation, cancer cells reprogram metabolic pathways to take up more glucose and coordinate the production of energy and intermediates for biosynthesis. Such actions involve gene expression and activity regulation by the moonlighting function of oncoproteins and metabolic enzymes. The signal−moonlighting protein−metabolism axis facilitates the adaptation of tumor cells under varying environment conditions and can be therapeutically targeted for cancer treatment.

CHEN Haozhu, ZHOU Jun, CHEN Bin, ZHUANG Hanzhong, JIN Xuejuan, HAN Qingqing

《医学前沿（英文）》 2008年第2卷第1期页码 5-10 doi: 10.1007/s11684-008-0002-5

摘要： We assessed the secular trends in the serum lipid levels in Shanghai residents from 1973 to 1999. Data from four independent, cross-sectional, population-based surveys were used to analyze the trends in serum lipid levels from 1973 to 1999. A standard protocol was applied across each survey in at least three independent surveys which were separated a 10-year study period. A total of 10733 (1385, 3302, 2399, and 3647 subjects who had complete data on serum lipids in 1973–1974, 1982, 1983 and 1997–1999, respectively) Shanghai residents aged from newborn to 80 years old were enlisted at random. Serum lipid levels were measured in a single laboratory throughout the entire study period. A non-significant increase was noted from 1973–1974 to 1982–1983 in the serum lipid profiles; however, a significant increase was observed from 1982–1983 to 1997–1999 in most of the age groups of both sexes. Mean serum total cholesterol (TC) levels increased significantly ( < 0.05) over the entire study period (overall period covered: 1973–1999) in most age groups of both sexes. In males, the changes were from 7.3% to 23.2% and in females, from 9.0% to 21.6%, except in umbilical blood samples and in females over 60 years where insignificant results were observed. Similar trends were observed in the mean serum triglyceride (TG) and the mean serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) levels, both in females and males. The majority show an upward trend. As for TGs, the changes were from 27.5% to 82.7% in males and from 13.2% to 54.6% in females. As for LDL-c the changes were from 34.9% to 71.0% in males and from 31.9% to 63.6% in females. Mean serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) levels were decreased significantly from 1982–1983 to 1997–1999, with the changes from -13.2% to -38.6% in males and from -9.8% to -21.7% in females. The ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-c) increased dramatically during this period because of a concurrent decline in the levels of HDL-c and the increase in the levels of TC. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (To achieve the normal range of serum TC and TG in healthy people of Shanghai, we determined the cut-off point in the cumulative frequency curve as the 95% percentile of the data collected by the survey in 1973–1974. The results show that the 95% cut-off point for TC was 220 mg/dL, while for TG, it was 160 mg/dL.) increased significantly ( < 0.05). In males aged 20 to 40 years old, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was from 1.6% to 7.79%, and in ages> 40 it was from 5.5% to 11.57%. In females, it was 0 to 4.68% and 6.5% to 16.2%, respectively. In general, the trends in the levels of TC, TG and LDL-c were increasing and trends in the levels of HDL-c were decreasing in most age groups, especially, in the younger age group of Shanghai residents from 1980s to 1990s. These worrying findings are significant for its public health implications. Health education and health promotion are necessary to prevent the disease prevalence from rising in the Chinese population.

Repeated batch fermentation with water recycling and cell separation for microbial lipid production

Yumei WANG, Wei LIU, Jie BAO

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2012年第6卷第4期页码 453-460 doi: 10.1007/s11705-012-1210-8

摘要： Large waste water disposal was the major problem in microbial lipid fermentation because of low yield of lipid. In this study, the repeated batch fermentation was investigated for reducing waste water generated in the lipid fermentation of an oleaginous yeast CX1 strain. The waste fermentation broth was recycled in the next batch operation after the cells were separated using two different methods, centrifugation and flocculation. Two different sugar substrates, glucose and inulin, were applied to the proposed operation. The result showed that at least 70% of the waste water was reduced, while lipid production maintained satisfactory in the initial four cycles. Furthermore, it is suggested that CX1 cells might produce certain naturally occurring inulin hydrolyzing enzyme(s) for obtaining fructose and glucose from inulin directly. Our method provided a practical option for reducing the waste water generated from microbial lipid fermentation.

Relationship of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism with blood pressure, lipid profile

TANG Zhongzhi, LI Junyao, YANG Jianhong

《医学前沿（英文）》 2008年第2卷第2期页码 178-181 doi: 10.1007/s11684-008-0033-y

摘要： To study the relationship of the polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene and blood pressure, lipid profiles and blood glucose level. By using PCR-RFLP, the eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism was detected in 184 patients with essential hypertension and 196 matched healthy individuals with normal blood pressure. Taking into account eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphisms, the relationship of blood pressure with triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and blood glucose level was analyzed. The distribution of eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism had no significant difference between different blood pressure groups and gender groups, but there was a significant difference between different age groups, diastolic blood pressure groups or BMI groups ( < 0.05). Asp/Asp genotype significantly increased the risk of hypertension in individuals with serum TC above 5.4 mmol/L ( = 0.03, = 2.65). eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism and serum lipid could synergistically modulate the blood pressure. eNOS Asp/Asp genotype could significantly increase the risk of hypertension in individuals with serum TC over 5.4 mmol/L. eNOS Glu298Asp in combination with serum TC could be used to predict the risk of hypertension.

Qiao ZHANG,Yu HONG

《环境科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2014年第8卷第5期页码 703-709 doi: 10.1007/s11783-014-0649-x

摘要： This study compared the growth and lipid accumulation properties of two oleaginous microalgae, namely, sp. LX1 and sp. HQ, under different nutrient conditions. Both algal species obtained the highest biomass, lipid content and lipid yield under low-nutrient conditions (mBG11 medium). The biomass, lipid content and lipid yield of sp. LX1 were 0.42 g·L , 22.5% and 93.8 mg·L , respectively. These values were relatively higher than those of sp. HQ (0.30 g·L , 17.1% and 51.3 mg·L , respectively). These algae were then cultivated in an SE medium that contained more nutrients; as a result, the biomass and lipid yield of sp. LX1 reduced more significantly than those of sp. HQ. Opposite results were observed in lipid and triacylglycerols (TAGs) contents. The cell sizes of both algal species under low-nutrient conditions were larger than those under high-nutrient conditions. sp. HQ cells did not aggregate, but sp. LX1 cells flocculated easily, particularly under low-nutrient conditions. In summary, low-nutrient conditions favour the growth and lipid production of both algae, but sp. LX1 outperforms sp. HQ.

《环境科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2014年第8卷第2期页码 256-266 doi: 10.1007/s11783-013-0585-1

摘要： Vanadium is a vital strategic resource, and vanadium metabolism is an important part of the national socio-economic system of China. This study conducts accounting and scenario analysis on the life cycle of vanadium metabolism in China. Based on the characteristics of vanadium life cycle and substance flow analysis (SFA) framework, we present a quantitative evaluation of a static anthropogenic vanadium life cycle for the year 2010. Results show that anthropogenic vanadium consumption, stocks, and new domestic scrap are at 98.2, 21.2, and 4.1 kt, respectively; new scrap is usually discarded. The overall utilization ratio of vanadium is 32.2%. A large amount of vanadium is stockpiled into tailings, debris, slags, and other spent solids. A scenario analysis was conducted to analyze the future developmental trend of vanadium metabolism in China based on the SFA framework and the qualitative analysis of technology advancement and socio-economic development. The baseline year was set as 2010. Several indicators were proposed to simulate different scenarios from 2010 to 2030. The scenario analysis indicates that the next 20 years is a critical period for the vanadium industry in China. This paper discusses relevant policies that contribute to the improvement of sustainable vanadium utilization in China.

Insulin resistance and the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids

null

《医学前沿（英文）》 2013年第7卷第1期页码 53-59 doi: 10.1007/s11684-013-0255-5

摘要：

Insulin resistance (IR) is a key pathological feature of metabolic syndrome and subsequently causes serious health problems with an increased risk of several common metabolic disorders. IR related metabolic disturbance is not restricted to carbohydrates but impacts global metabolic network. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), namely valine, leucine and isoleucine, are among the nine essential amino acids, accounting for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle proteins and 40% of the preformed amino acids required by mammals. The BCAAs are particularly responsive to the inhibitory insulin action on amino acid release by skeletal muscle and their metabolism is profoundly altered in insulin resistant conditions and/or insulin deficiency. Although increased circulating BCAA concentration in insulin resistant conditions has been noted for many years and BCAAs have been reported to be involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis and body weight, it is only recently that BCAAs are found to be closely associated with IR. This review will focus on the recent findings on BCAAs from both epidemic and mechanistic studies.

《环境科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2018年第12卷第3期 doi: 10.1007/s11783-018-1035-x

摘要： Anammox (ANaerobic AMMonia OXidation) is a newly discovered pathway in the nitrogen cycle. This discovery has increased our knowledge of the global nitrogen cycle and triggered intense interest for anammox-based applications. Anammox bacteria are almost ubiquitous in the suboxic zones of almost all types of natural ecosystems and contribute significant to the global total nitrogen loss. In this paper, their ecological distributions and contributions to the nitrogen loss in marine, wetland, terrestrial ecosystems, and even extreme environments were reviewed. The unique metabolic mechanism of anammox bacteria was well described, including the particular cellular structures and genome compositions, which indicate the special evolutionary status of anammox bacteria. Finally, the ecological interactions among anammox bacteria and other organisms were discussed based on substrate availability and spatial organizations. This review attempts to summarize the fundamental understanding of anammox, provide an up-to-date summary of the knowledge of the overall anammox status, and propose future prospects for anammox. Based on novel findings, the metagenome has become a powerful tool for the genomic analysis of communities containing anammox bacteria; the metabolic diversity and biogeochemistry in the global nitrogen budget require more comprehensive studies.

《医学前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第2期页码 178-207 doi: 10.1007/s11684-020-0793-6

摘要： Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies that seriously threaten women’s health. In the process of the malignant transformation of breast cancer, metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion represent the two main fascinating characteristics of cancer and facilitate cancer cell proliferation. Breast cancer cells generate energy through increased glucose metabolism. Lipid metabolism contributes to biological signal pathways and forms cell membranes except energy generation. Amino acids act as basic protein units and metabolic regulators in supporting cell growth. For tumor-associated immunity, poor immunogenicity and heightened immunosuppression cause breast cancer cells to evade the host’s immune system. For the past few years, the complex mechanisms of metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion are deeply investigated, and the genes involved in these processes are used as clinical therapeutic targets for breast cancer. Here, we review the recent findings related to abnormal metabolism and immune characteristics, regulatory mechanisms, their links, and relevant therapeutic strategies.
