Each day the RPE 38 removes the oldest ~10% of photoreceptor outer segments through phagocytic uptake, which 39 peaks in a synchronous burst following light onset. Impaired degradation of phagocytosed OS 40 material by the RPE can lead to toxic accumulation of lipids, oxidative tissue damage, 41 inflammation and cell death. OSs are rich in very long chain fatty acids which are preferentially 42 catabolized in peroxisomes. Despite the importance of lipid degradation in RPE function, the 43 regulation of peroxisome number and activity relative to diurnal OS ingestion is relatively 44 unexplored. Using immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting and catalase activity assays, we 45 investigated peroxisome abundance and activity at 6 am, 7 am (at lights on), 8 am, and 3 pm, in 46 WT mice and mice lacking microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), that have 47 impaired degradation of phagosomes. We found that catalase activity, but not protein 48 expression, is 50% higher in the morning compared with 3 pm, in RPE of WT but not LC3B-/- 49 mice. Surprisingly, we found that peroxisome abundance was stable during the day, however 50 numbers are elevated overall in LC3B-/- mice, implicating LC3B in autophagic organelle turnover 51 in RPE. Our data suggest that RPE peroxisome function is regulated in coordination with 52 phagocytosis, possibly through direct enzyme regulation, and may serve to prepare RPE 53 peroxisomes for daily surges in ingested lipid-rich OS. 54 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/687533; this version posted July 1, 2019.

On a daily basis, the RPE ingests 10% of the lipid and protein- 60 rich OS, for recycling and degradation, while new OS material is added basally (69, 74). 61 Incomplete phagosome degradation in the highly oxidative environment of the RPE predisposes 62 undigested lipids to oxidative damage and the formation of lipid peroxidation adducts 63 contributing over time to an immune response and tissue damage (3, 19, 27, 35, 70). 64 65 The ingested OS are a complex mix of saturated and highly unsaturated fatty acids, which 66 make up 50% of OSs (by weight) and provide the RPE with substrate for mitochondrial and 67 peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation (FAO) (1, 23, 61, 64, 68). Within the lipid pool, OS membranes 68 are estimated to contain ~ 30% very long chain fatty acids VLCFAs (23). VLCFAs (Cƚ20) are 69 preferentially catabolized in peroxisomes via β-oxidation (64, 68). Therefore, efficient lipid 70 catabolism in the RPE requires coordination of β-oxidation pathways within both mitochondria 71 and peroxisomes (1, 23, 61). Once VLCFA are shortened, they are substrates for mitochondrial 72 β-oxidation (1, 61). Some of the resultant acetyl-CoA is funneled into the mitochondrial 73 ketogenesis pathway, producing beta hydroxybutyrate (βHB). βHB is subsequently secreted into 74 the subretinal space and taken up by photoreceptors as a metabolic substrate (1). Given their 75 intimate metabolic coordination it is not surprising that numerous micro-peroxisomes can be 76 found in RPE cells where they are contiguous with ER tubules and proximal to mitochondria (45, 77 47, 62). 78 79 Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles highly enriched in liver, intestine, adipose tissue and 80 brain. In addition to their functions in α and β oxidation-mediated catabolism of fatty acids (48) 81 peroxisomes play essential roles in ether lipid synthesis, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 82 synthesis, and bile acid synthesis. Peroxisomes are also sites for both the generation and 83 reduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) which serve as mediators for 84 cellular signaling (56, 72). The most abundant of these is hydrogen peroxide, produced as a 85 byproduct of the initial desaturation of Acyl-CoA esters by Acyl CoA Oxidases (ACOXs) in the 86 committed step of peroxisome fatty acid oxidation (64, 68). Hydrogen peroxide generated in the 87 ACOX reaction is rapidly degraded by the antioxidant enzyme, catalase. Peroxisome antioxidant 88 activity declines with cellular age (44).

No reuse allowed without permission. 89 age may have broad cellular impact as inhibition of catalase activity in fibroblasts resulted in 90 increased mitochondrial ROS levels and disrupted activity (44, 67, 71). Catalase activity is also 91 lower in peroxisomes of human primary RPE from aged donors, and those with age-related 92 macular degeneration (AMD) (46), and paradoxically, this is accompanied by an overabundance 93 of peroxisomes (6, 7, 21), suggesting a role for impaired peroxisome turnover in declining 94 peroxisome function. 95 Although countless studies have focused on understanding peroxisome proliferator-activated 96 receptor (PPAR) regulation, and correlation with disease (50, 60, 63, 76), to our knowledge little 97 information is available regarding the activity and numbers of peroxisomes in the RPE 98 over a 12hr light/dark cycle. In this study, we investigate peroxisome function and dynamics in 99 the context of phagocytic degradative processes in RPE cells. We find that catalase activity is 100 increased by ~50% during the time of peak phagocytosis, and this diurnal regulation of 101 antioxidant activity is absent in mice lacking LC3B. We also find that while LC3B-dependent 102 processes contribute to peroxisome turnover, peroxisome number does not depend on time of 103 day. Our data suggest peroxisome function in the RPE is regulated dynamically in coordination 104 with phagocytosis, likely through direct regulation of enzyme activity. Catalase activity can be 105 regulated through diverse post-translational modifications (9, 10, 16, 26, 39, 59) which are often 106 sensitive to the redox state of the cell. Elevated catalase activity during the early morning 107 suggests the possibility of a homeostatic mechanism to ready RPE peroxisomes for the daily 108 synchronous surge in ingested lipid-rich outer segments. bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/687533; this version posted July 1, 2019.

Catalase, the most abundant peroxisomal 115 antioxidant, reduces H2O2 produced in peroxisomes during this reaction, preventing its toxic 116 accumulation. Using a publicly available microarray data set (GSE10246; Fig 1B) we analyzed 117 gene expression profiles of peroxisome lipid-associated proteins in mouse tissues. RPE express 118 fatty acid transporters and peroxisome β-oxidation enzymes. Three members of the ABC lipid- 119 transporter superfamily reside in peroxisomes, these include, Abcd1 (ALDP), Abcd2 (ALDR) 120 and Abcd3 (PMP70). Of these, Abcd1 is expressed in RPE (mouse) in relative abundance with 121 levels of Abcd3 in RPE similar to that in liver (Fig. 1B). Transcripts for Acox1, and catalase as 122 well as 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (Acaa1/thiolase) are highly expressed in liver but are also 123 enriched in the RPE relative to retina, cornea and neural tissues (Fig 1A, B). Two thiolase genes 124 are expressed in mouse, Acaa1a, and Acaa1b, with the expression of thiolase b restricted to 125 liver, with lower expression in kidney, intestine and adipose tissue (13). The complete β- 126 oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (FA) within peroxisomes requires additional enzymes, 127 due to the presence of cis- and trans- double bonds (68), including peroxisome 2,4, Di-enoyl 128 CoA reductase (Decr2).

  • PEX5 Regulates Autophagy Via the Mtorc1-TFEB Axis During Starvation
    Eun et al. Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2018) 50:4 DOI 10.1038/s12276-017-0007-8 Experimental & Molecular Medicine ARTICLE Open Access PEX5 regulates autophagy via the mTORC1-TFEB axis during starvation So Young Eun1,JoonNoLee2,In-KooNam2, Zhi-qiang Liu1,Hong-SeobSo 1, Seong-Kyu Choe1 and RaeKil Park2 Abstract Defects in the PEX5 gene impair the import of peroxisomal matrix proteins, leading to nonfunctional peroxisomes and other associated pathological defects such as Zellweger syndrome. Although PEX5 regulates autophagy process in a stress condition, the mechanisms controlling autophagy by PEX5 under nutrient deprivation are largely unknown. Herein, we show a novel function of PEX5 in the regulation of autophagy via Transcription Factor EB (TFEB). Under serum-starved conditions, when PEX5 is depleted, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTORC1) inhibitor TSC2 is downregulated, which results in increased phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrates, including 70S6K, S6K, and 4E- BP-1. mTORC1 activation further suppresses the nuclear localization of TFEB, as indicated by decreased mRNA levels of TFEB, LIPA, and LAMP1. Interestingly, peroxisomal mRNA and protein levels are also reduced by TFEB inactivation, indicating that TFEB might control peroxisome biogenesis at a transcriptional level. Conversely, pharmacological inhibition of mTOR resulting from PEX5 depletion during nutrient starvation activates TFEB by promoting nuclear localization of the protein. In addition, mTORC1 inhibition recovers the damaged-peroxisome biogenesis. These data suggest that PEX5 may be a critical regulator of lysosomal gene expression and autophagy through the mTOR-TFEB- autophagy axis under nutrient deprivation. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) func- Peroxisome is an essential cellular organelle for per- tions as an antiviral signaling platform to induce the forming various metabolic activities, including oxidation interferon-independent signaling pathways4.

  • Peroxisomal Disorders and Their Mouse Models Point to Essential Roles of Peroxisomes for Retinal Integrity
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Peroxisomal Disorders and Their Mouse Models Point to Essential Roles of Peroxisomes for Retinal Integrity Yannick Das, Daniëlle Swinkels and Myriam Baes * Lab of Cell Metabolism, Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] (Y.D.); [email protected] (D.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Peroxisomes are multifunctional organelles, well known for their role in cellular lipid homeostasis. Their importance is highlighted by the life-threatening diseases caused by peroxisomal dysfunction. Importantly, most patients suffering from peroxisomal biogenesis disorders, even those with a milder disease course, present with a number of ocular symptoms, including retinopathy. Patients with a selective defect in either peroxisomal α- or β-oxidation or ether lipid synthesis also suffer from vision problems. In this review, we thoroughly discuss the ophthalmological pathology in peroxisomal disorder patients and, where possible, the corresponding animal models, with a special emphasis on the retina. In addition, we attempt to link the observed retinal phenotype to the underlying biochemical alterations. It appears that the retinal pathology is highly variable and the lack of histopathological descriptions in patients hampers the translation of the findings in the mouse models. Furthermore, it becomes clear that there are still large gaps in the current knowledge on the contribution of the different metabolic disturbances to the retinopathy, but branched chain fatty acid accumulation and impaired retinal PUFA homeostasis are likely important factors.

However, local pig breeds are more highly adapted to their specific environmental conditions and feeding resources, and therefore present a valuable genetic resource. They are able to deposit more fat and have a distinct lipogenic capacity, along with a better fatty acid composition than modern breeds. Physiological, biochemical and genetic mechanisms responsible for the differences between fatty and lean breeds are still not fully clarified. The present paper highlights important associations to better understand the underlying mechanisms of lipid deposition in subcutaneous and intramuscular fat between fatty and lean breeds. Abstract: Modern pig breeds, which have been genetically improved to achieve fast growth and a lean meat deposition, differ from local pig breeds with respect to fat deposition, fat specific metabolic characteristics and various other properties. The present review aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the differences between fatty local and modern lean pig breeds in adipose tissue deposition and lipid metabolism, taking into consideration morphological, cellular, biochemical, transcriptomic and proteomic perspectives.

Reactive species produced in the cell during normal cellular metabolism can chemically react with cellular biomolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, thereby causing their oxidative modifications leading to alterations in their compositions and potential damage to their cellular activities. Fortunately, cells have evolved several antioxidant defense mechanisms (as metabolites, vitamins, and enzymes) to neutralize or mitigate the harmful effect of reactive species and/or their byproducts. Any perturbation in the balance in the level of antioxidants and the reactive species results in a physiological condition called “oxidative stress.” A catalase is one of the crucial antioxidant enzymes that mitigates oxidative stress to a considerable extent by destroying cellular hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen.

Unaware of this publication Smith, Opitz and Zellweger syndrome (ZS) in its classic form is an autosomal recessive lethal 2 disease characterized by the absence of morphologically recognizable Inhorn in 1965 described ‘a syndrome of multiple peroxisomes. Detailed studies on ZS in the early 1980s have led to developmental defects including polycystic kidneys the discovery of a set of peroxisomal biomarkers in blood which has and intrahepatic biliary dysgenesis in two sibs’, revolutionized our knowledge about peroxisomes and peroxisomal disorders, who presented with a large number of comparable and formed the basis for the discovery of the group of peroxisomal diseases defects including severe hypotonia, high forehead, known at present. Peroxisomal disorders are classi!ed into two distinct shallow supraorbital ridges, camptodactyly, minor groups including the disorders of peroxisome biogenesis (group 1) and anomalies of the eyes, ears, palate and hands, peroxisome function (group 2). The enzymatic and molecular basis of most and failure to thrive. Two years later, Passarge and peroxisomal disorders has been identi!ed through the years and pre- and McAdams3 described #ve sisters with similar clinical post-natal diagnostic methods have been established.
