Similar spatial distributions of specific TAG and acetyl-TAG molecular species, as well as their probable diacylglycerol (DAG) precursors, provide additional evidence that acetyl-TAG and TAG are both synthesized from the same tissue-specific DAG pools. Remarkably, this ultrahigh production of acetyl-TAG in transgenic seeds exhibited minimal negative effects on seed properties, highlighting the potential for production of designer oils required for economical biofuel industries.

SLC25A1 Reprograms Mitochondrial and Fatty Acid Metabolism to Promote the Progression of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5848; We also revealed that a self-protection mechanism after stress by up-regulating phosphoglycerides (PGs) and triglycerides (TAGs) in SLC25A1 KD cells, and the effect could be reversed by inhibiting DGAT1, a key enzyme catalyzing the conversion of fatty acids to TAGs. In conclusion, targeting mitochondrial metabolism and fatty acid metabolism using the SLC25A1 inhibitor might be a potential novel strategy for enhancing AML therapy and overcoming drug resistance.

Targeting Lipid Droplet Biogenesis to Enhance Ferroptosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5264; We first confirmed that the exogenous supplement of PUFA (Linoleic acid) significantly enhanced ferroptosis in AML cells treated with the GPX4 inhibitor ML210, while monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA, Oleic acid) suppressed GPX4 inhibition-induced ferroptosis, as expected...These findings suggest a novel therapeutic strategy for AML by targeting lipid metabolism to potentiate ferroptosis. Further investigation into the molecular underpinnings of the synergy, in vivo validations, and the development of specific DGAT inhibitors will be critical for translating these findings into clinical applications.

In vivo and in vitro imaging and in situ cell localization revealed that PS-NPs were mainly enriched in hepatic stellate cells and hepatic Kupffer cells in liver tissue. Exposure to PS-NPs induces disorder of liver lipid metabolism, which may be related to the accumulation of PS-NPs in hepatic stellate cells and hepatic Kupffer cells, providing basis for searching early biomarkers of PS-NPs exposure and further mechanism research.

Lipidomic analysis suggested that the effect of Osbp on TLR signaling may be mediated by alterations in triglyceride production and treating cells with a Dgat1 inhibitor, which blocks triglyceride production and completely abrogates the effect of Osbp on TLR signaling. Thus, Osbp is a sterol sensor that transduces perturbations of the lipidome to modulate the resolution of macrophage inflammatory responses.
