The Impact

The consumption of an olive oil rich diet has been associated with the diminished incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Several studies have attributed these beneficial effects to oleic acid (C18 n-9), the predominant fatty acid principal component of olive oil. Oleic acid is not an essential fatty acid since it can be endogenously synthesized in humans. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is the enzyme responsible for oleic acid production and, more generally, for the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). The saturated to monounsaturated fatty acid ratio affects the regulation of cell growth and differentiation, and alteration in this ratio has been implicated in a variety of diseases, such as liver dysfunction and intestinal inflammation. In this review, we discuss our current understanding of the impact of gene-nutrient interactions in liver and gut diseases, by taking advantage of the role of SCD1 and its product oleic acid in the modulation of different hepatic and intestinal metabolic pathways.

Soybean is the second largest source of oil worldwide. Developing soybean varieties with high levels of oleic acid is a primary goal of the soybean breeders and industry. Edible oils containing high level of oleic acid and low level of linoleic acid are considered with higher oxidative stability and can be used as a natural antioxidant in food stability. All developed high oleic acid soybeans carry two alleles; GmFAD2-1A and GmFAD2-1B. However, when planted in cold soil, a possible reduction in seed germination was reported when high seed oleic acid derived from GmFAD2-1 alleles were used. Besides the soybean fatty acid desaturase (GmFAD2-1) subfamily, the GmFAD2-2 subfamily is composed of five members, including GmFAD2-2A, GmFAD2-2B, GmFAD2-2C, GmFAD2-2D, and GmFAD2-2E. Segmental duplication of GmFAD2-1A/GmFAD2-1B, GmFAD2-2A/GmFAD2-2C, GmFAD2-2A/GmFAD2-2D, and GmFAD2-2D/GmFAD2-2C have occurred about 10.65, 27.04, 100.81, and 106.55 Mya, respectively. Using TILLING-by-Sequencing+ technology, we successfully identified 12, 8, 10, 9, and 19 EMS mutants at the GmFAD2-2A, GmFAD2-2B, GmFAD2-2C, GmFAD2-2D, and GmFAD2-2E genes, respectively. Functional analyses of newly identified mutants revealed unprecedented role of the five GmFAD2-2A, GmFAD2-2B, GmFAD2-2C, GmFAD2-2D, and GmFAD2-2E members in controlling the seed oleic acid content. Most importantly, unlike GmFAD2-1 members, subcellular localization revealed that members of the GmFAD2-2 subfamily showed a cytoplasmic localization, which may suggest the presence of an alternative fatty acid desaturase pathway in soybean for converting oleic acid content without substantially altering the traditional plastidial/ER fatty acid production.

Abstract BACKGROUND Increased de novo lipogenesis is a hallmark of cancer metabolism. In this study, we interrogated the role of de novo lipogenesis in IDH1 mutated glioma’s growth and identified the key enzyme, Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) that provides this growth advantage. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS We prepared genetically engineered glioma cell lines (U251 wild-type: U251WT and U251 IDHR132H mutant: U251RH) and normal human astrocytes (empty vector induced-NHA: NHAEV and IDHR132H mutant: NHARH). Lipid metabolic analysis was conducted by using LC-MS and Raman imaging microscopy. SCD1 expression was investigated by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data analysis and Western-blotting method. Knock-out of SCD1 was conducted by using CRISPR/Cas9 and shRNA. RESULTS Previously, we showed that IDH1 mut glioma cells have increased monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). TCGA data revealed IDH mut glioma shows significantly higher SCD1 mRNA expression than wild-type glioma. Our model systems of IDH1 mut (U251RH, NHARH) showed increased expression of this enzyme compared with their wild-type counterpart. Moreover, addition of D-2HG to U251WT increased SCD1 expression. Herein, we showed that inhibition of SCD1 with CAY10566 decreased relative cell number and sphere forming capacity in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, addition of MUFAs were able to rescue the SCD1 inhibitor induced-cell death and sphere forming capacity. Knock out of SCD1 revealed decreased cell proliferation and sphere forming ability. Decreasing lipid content from the media did not alter the growth of these cells, suggesting that glioma cells rely on de novo lipid synthesis rather than scavenging them from the microenvironment. CONCLUSION Overexpression of IDH mutant gene altered lipid composition in U251 cells to enrich MUFA levels and we confirmed that D-2HG caused SCD1 upregulation in U251WT. We demonstrated the glioma cell growth requires SCD1 expression and the results of the present study may provide novel insights into the role of SCD1 in IDH mut gliomas growth.

Postprandial Hyperemia

The role of local intestinal nerves in the nutrient-induced intestinal hyperemia was investigated in jejunal segments of anesthetized dogs by comparing the hyperemic effect of intraluminal glucose and oleic acid solutions before and after mucosal anesthesia and infusions of methysergide, hexamethonium, and tetrodotoxin. Methysergide, hexamethonium, and tetrodotoxin all failed to alter either the vascular or metabolic responses to luminal placement of glucose or oleic acid. The increases in blood flow and oxygen uptake produced by glucose or oleic acid, however, were blocked or attenuated after exposing the mucosa to dibucaine. The effect was norepinephrine due to an altered vascular response to vasoactive substances as dibucaine did not alter vascular responses to isoproterenol or norepinephrine. Dibucaine, however, inhibited active transport and increased passive transport of glucose across rat intestinal sacs in vitro. Oxygen consumption of the canine jejunal mucosa was also inhibited by dibucaine in vitro. It seems that inhibition of the nutrient-induced intestinal hyperemia by dibucaine is due, at least in part, to its effect on oxygen consumption and glucose transport of the mucosal epithelial cells. Nutrient-induced hyperemia appears not to be neurally mediated but more closely related to metabolism.

ABSTRACT Many microbes exploit host cellular lipid droplets during the host-microbe interaction, but this phenomenon has not been extensively studied for fungal pathogens. In this study, we analyzed the role of lipid droplets during the interaction of Cryptococcus neoformans with macrophages in the presence and the absence of exogenous lipids, in particular, oleate. The addition of oleic acid increased the frequency of lipid droplets in both C. neoformans and macrophages. C. neoformans responded to oleic acid supplementation by faster growth inside and outside macrophages. Fungal cells were able to harvest lipids from macrophage lipid droplets. Supplementation of C. neoformans and macrophages with oleic acid significantly increased the rate of nonlytic exocytosis while having no effect on lytic exocytosis. The process for lipid modulation of nonlytic exocytosis was associated with actin changes in macrophages. In summary, C. neoformans harvests lipids from macrophages, and the C. neoformans-macrophage interaction is modulated by exogenous lipids, providing a new tool for studying nonlytic exocytosis.

Abstract Electroelastic and triboelastic effects result in the formation of electric charges on articles made from polymers undergoing deformation. It was of interest to determine the effect of the charges formed during deformation on the fatigue resistance of vulcanizates. No convincing experiments clearly demonstrating the role of electric charges arising during friction or deformation had been carried out previously. Vulcanizates containing different amounts of acetylene black were tested in a machine in which cylindrical specimens with thickened ends were subjected to repeated bending at 1300 cycles/minute. The stocks had the following composition (in parts by weight) : SKS-30A 100, sulfur 2, technical stearin 2, Rubrax 5, black oil 4, MBTS 0.6, diphenylguanidine 0.8, zinc oxide 5, oleic acid 1. Increasing amounts of acetylene black were added to this composition: 6, 12, 18, 20, 22, 30, 40 and 75 wt. parts per 100 wt. parts of rubber.
