PAPER Lipotoxicity: the Obese and Endurance-Trained Paradox International Journal of Obesity (2004) 28, S66–S71 & 2004 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0307-0565/04 $30.00 www.nature.com/ijo PAPER Lipotoxicity: the obese and endurance-trained paradox AP Russell1* 1Clinique romande de re´adaptation SUVA Care, Sion, Switzerland The potential lipotoxic effect of intramyocellular triglyceride (IMTG) accumulation has been suggested to be a major component in the development of insulin resistance. Increased levels of IMTGs correlate with insulin resistance in both obese and diabetic patients, but this relationship does not exist in endurance trained (ETr) subjects. This may be, in part, related to differences in the gene expression and activities of key enzymes involved in fatty acid transport and oxidation as well as in the perodixation status of the IMTGs in obese/diabetic patients as compared with ETr subjects. Disruptions in fat and lipid homeostasis in skeletal muscle have been shown to activate protein kinase C (PKC), which acts on several downstream signalling pathways, including the insulin and the IkB kinase (IKK)/NFkB signalling pathways. Additionally, an increased peroxidation of IMTGs may reduce insulin sensitivity by increasing TNFa, which is known to increase the expression of suppressor of cytokine signalling proteins (SOCS). A common characteristic observed when activating both PKC and TNFa/SOCS3 is the inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and subsequently an inhibition of its activation of downstream signalling molecules. These may be important players in the development of insulin resistance and understanding their activation and expression in both obese and ETr humans should assist in understanding how and why IMTGs become lipotoxic.

HARDIN Department of Medical Pharmacology and Physiology, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA Received November 10, 2005 Accepted March 7, 2006 On-line available March 23, 2006 Summary The purpose of this study was to determine the role of lipotoxicity in vascular smooth muscle (VSM). C1-BODIPY 500/510 C12 used to assess the ability of VSM A7r5 cells to transport long-chain fatty acids showed that lipid transport did not appear to limit metabolism. Thin layer chromatography revealed that storage of transported fatty acid occurred primarily as mono- and diglycerides and fatty acids but not as triglycerides. We used lipid-induced apoptosis as a measure of lipotoxicity and found that 1.5 mM palmitate (6.8:1) bound to albumin resulted in a 15-fold increase in the number of apoptotic cells compared to the control at 24 hours. This apoptosis did not seem to be due to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) since VSM cells incubated in palmitate showed less ROS production than cells incubated in albumin only. Similar exposure to oleate did not significantly increase the number of apoptotic cells compared to the control. Oleate actually significantly attenuated the apoptosis induced by palmitate, suggesting that unsaturated fatty acids have a protective effect on cells undergoing palmitate-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that vascular smooth muscle is vulnerable to lipotoxicity and that this lipotoxicity may play a role in the development of atherosclerosis.

  • Lipid Peroxidation As a Biochemical Marker for Oxidative Stress During Drought
    LIPID PEROXIDATION AS A BIOCHEMICAL MARKER FOR OXIDATIVE STRESS DURING DROUGHT. AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR PLANT BREEDING. Mateusz Labudda Department of Biochemistry, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Nowoursynowska 159, 02–776 Warsaw, Poland e–mail: [email protected] Key words: abiotic stress, crop breeding, lipid oxidation, malondialdehyde, reactive oxygen species, water deficit Abstract Oxidative stress can be induced by a wide range of environmental factors, including drought. One of the main cellular components susceptible to damage by reactive oxygen species are lipids (by peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in biological membranes). The assay of Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) is a well–established method for monitoring lipid peroxidation. This relatively simple analytical protocol facilitates extensive screening research in plant breeding. Suggested citation: Labudda M. (2013): Lipid peroxidation as a biochemical marker for oxidative stress during drought. An effective tool for plant breeding. E-wydawnictwo, Poland, http://www.e-wydawnictwo.eu/Document/DocumentPreview/3342 1 Introduction Higher plants have developed the ability to adapt to external, and frequently harmful, environmental factors. Drought is considered to be one of the major sources of environmental stress. It seriously affects crop productivity by inhibiting plant growth and development (Anjum et al. 2011a) and results in a 50% or more reduction in average yields (Wang et al. 2003). Water stress inhibits photosynthesis, induces changes in chlorophyll content and composition, and damages the photosynthetic apparatus (Nayyar & Gupta 2006). Furthermore, dehydration of tissue inhibits photochemical activities and brings about a reduction in the activity of Calvin–Benson–Basshamn cycle enzymes (Monakhova & Chernyadev 2002). It is well established that chloroplast, mitochondria and peroxisomes are a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells.

  • Skeletal Muscle Lipotoxicity in Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes: a Causal Mechanism Or an Innocent Bystander?
    176:2 C Brøns and L G Grunnet Dysfunctional adipose tissue 176:2 R67–R78 Review and T2D MECHANISMSPROOF IN ENDOCRINOLOGY ONLY Skeletal muscle lipotoxicity in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes: a causal mechanism or an innocent bystander? Charlotte Brøns and Louise Groth Grunnet Correspondence should be addressed Department of Endocrinology (Diabetes and Metabolism), Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark to C Brøns Email [email protected] Abstract Dysfunctional adipose tissue is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). One characteristic of a dysfunctional adipose tissue is the reduced expandability of the subcutaneous adipose tissue leading to ectopic storage of fat in organs and/or tissues involved in the pathogenesis of T2D that can cause lipotoxicity. Accumulation of lipids in the skeletal muscle is associated with insulin resistance, but the majority of previous studies do not prove any causality. Most studies agree that it is not the intramuscular lipids per se that causes insulin resistance, but rather lipid intermediates such as diacylglycerols, fatty acyl-CoAs and ceramides and that it is the localization, composition and turnover of these intermediates that play an important role in the development of insulin resistance and T2D. Adipose tissue is a more active tissue than previously thought, and future research should thus aim at examining the exact role of lipid composition, cellular localization and the dynamics of lipid turnover on the development of insulin resistance. In addition, ectopic storage of fat has differential impact on various organs in different phenotypes at risk of developing T2D; thus, understanding how adipogenesis is regulated, the interference European Journal European of Endocrinology with metabolic outcomes and what determines the capacity of adipose tissue expandability in distinct population groups is necessary.

The chances of surviving cancer and its prognosis are very dependent on the affected tissue, body location, and stage at which the disease is diagnosed. Researchers and pharmaceutical companies worldwide are pursuing many attempts to look for compounds to treat this malignancy. Most of the current strategies to fight cancer implicate the use of compounds acting on DNA damage checkpoints, non-receptor tyrosine kinases activities, regulators of the hedgehog signaling pathways, and metabolic adaptations placed in cancer. In the last decade, the finding of a lipid peroxidation increase linked to 15-lipoxygenases isoform 1 (15-LOX-1) activity stimulation has been found in specific successful treatments against cancer. This discovery contrasts with the production of other lipid oxidation signatures generated by stimulation of other lipoxygenases such as 5-LOX and 12-LOX, and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) activities, which have been suggested as cancer biomarkers and which inhibitors present anti-tumoral and antiproliferative activities.

A major way by which the latter can provoke structural damage to biological macromolecules, such as DNA, lipids, and proteins, is by fueling the peroxidation of membrane lipids, leading to the production of several reactive aldehydes. Lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes can not only modify biological macromolecules, by forming covalent electrophilic addition products with them, but also act as second messengers of oxidative stress, having relatively extended lifespans. Their effects might be further enhanced with aging, as their concentrations in cells and biological fluids increase with age.

  • Apolipoprotein O Is Mitochondrial and Promotes Lipotoxicity in Heart
    Apolipoprotein O is mitochondrial and promotes lipotoxicity in heart Annie Turkieh, … , Philippe Rouet, Fatima Smih J Clin Invest. 2014;124(5):2277-2286. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI74668. Research Article Cardiology Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a secondary complication of diabetes with an unclear etiology. Based on a functional genomic evaluation of obesity-associated cardiac gene expression, we previously identified and cloned the gene encoding apolipoprotein O (APOO), which is overexpressed in hearts from diabetic patients. Here, we generated APOO-Tg mice, transgenic mouse lines that expresses physiological levels of human APOO in heart tissue. APOO-Tg mice fed a high-fat diet exhibited depressed ventricular function with reduced fractional shortening and ejection fraction, and myocardial sections from APOO-Tg mice revealed mitochondrial degenerative changes. In vivo fluorescent labeling and subcellular fractionation revealed that APOO localizes with mitochondria. Furthermore, APOO enhanced mitochondrial uncoupling and respiration, both of which were reduced by deletion of the N-terminus and by targeted knockdown of APOO. Consequently, fatty acid metabolism and ROS production were enhanced, leading to increased AMPK phosphorylation and Ppara and Pgc1a expression. Finally, we demonstrated that the APOO-induced cascade of events generates a mitochondrial metabolic sink whereby accumulation of lipotoxic byproducts leads to lipoapoptosis, loss of cardiac cells, and cardiomyopathy, mimicking the diabetic heart–associated metabolic phenotypes.
