Inhibition of CERS1 in skeletal muscle exacerbates age-related muscle dysfunction

Johan Auwerx, Olivier Burri, Xiaoxu Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Amélia Lalou, Barbara Moreira Crisol

Age-related muscle wasting and dysfunction render the elderly population vulnerable and incapacitated, while underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we implicate the CERS1 enzyme of the de novo sphingolipid synthesis pathway in the pathogenesis ...

Imaging Cu2+ binding to charged phospholipid membranes by high-throughput second harmonic wide-field microscopy

Sylvie Roke, Seonwoo Lee, David Roesel

The interaction of divalent copper ions (Cu2+) with cell membranes is crucial for a variety of physiological processes of cells, such as hormone synthesis and cellular energy production. These interactions would not be possible without membrane hydration. ...

Post-translational regulation of neuronal differentiation

Jaipreet Singh Loomba

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are amphipathic lipid moieties that make up only 3% of the total lipid content of the cell and are almost exclusively expressed at the Plasma Membrane(PM). They are key drivers of signalling hotspots known as â lipid-raftsâ as ...

Brain NAD Is Associated With ATP Energy Production and Membrane Phospholipid Turnover in Humans

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Özlem Ipek, Maya Shevlyakova

The brain requires a large amount of energy, mostly derived from the metabolism of glucose, which decreases substantially with age and neurological diseases. While mounting evidence in model organisms illustrates the central role of brain nicotinamide aden ...

Metabolic rescue of muscle and muscle stem cells in muscle disease

Peiling Luan

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by the mutation of dystrophin gene, is an X-linked disorder that affects 1 in 3500 males, leading to progressive muscle degeneration and eventually resulting in premature death. Increasing evidence indicates that D ...

Chemistry of Lipid Membranes from Models to Living Systems: A Perspective of Hydration, Surface Potential, Curvature, Confinement and Heterogeneity

Sylvie Roke, Orly Bagunu Tarun, Halil Ibrahim Okur

Lipid membranes provide diverse and essential functions in our cells relating to transport, energy harvesting and signaling. This variety of functions is controlled by the molecular architecture, such as the presence of hydrating water, specific chemical c ...

Interfacial Structure and Hydration of 3D Lipid Monolayers in Aqueous Solution

Sylvie Roke, Yixing Chen, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Nikolay Smolentsev, Evangelia Zdrali

Three-dimensional (3D) phospholipid monolayers at hydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous and found in nature as adiposome organelles or in man-made materials such as drug delivery systems. However, the molecular level understanding of such monolayers remains ...

Abnormal creatine transport of mutations in monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT12) found in patients with age-related cataract can be partially rescued by exogenous chaperone CD147

Membrane transporters influence biological functions in the ocular lens. Here, we investigate the monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT12), also called creatine transporter 2 (CRT2), which is found in the ocular lens and is involved in cataract. As the age-r ...

Molecular basis for the regulation of the nuclear receptor LRH-1

Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein

Liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) is a nuclear receptor (NR) with diverse functions in development, differentiation and metabolism and has been extensively studied in the enterohepatic system. While initially described as an orphan NR, recent studies sugges ...

Blood Plasma Lipidomic Signature of Epicardial Fat in Healthy Obese Women

Martin Kussmann, Sebastiano Collino

ObjectivesA lipidomic approach was employed in a clinically well-defined cohort of healthy obese women to explore blood lipidome phenotype ascribed to body fat deposition, with emphasis on epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). MethodsThe present investigation d ...
