Abstract Background: Neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase 1 (NCEH1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of cholesterol ester (CE) in macrophages. Genetic ablation of NCEH1 promotes CE-laden macrophages and the development of atherosclerosis in mice. Dysregulation of NCEH1 levels is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple disorders including metabolic diseases and atherosclerosis; however, relatively little is known regarding the mechanisms regulating NCEH1. Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor α (RORα)-deficient mice exhibit several phenotypes indicative of aberrant lipid metabolism, including dyslipidemia and increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis. Results: In this study, inhibition of lipid droplet formation by RORα positively regulated NCEH1 expression in monocyte-derived macrophages. In mammals, the NCEH1 promoter region was found to harbor putative RORα response elements (ROREs). Electrophoretic mobility shift, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and luciferase reporter assays showed that RORα binds and responds to ROREs in human NCEH1. Moreover, NCEH1 was upregulated through RORα via a phorbol myristate acetate-dependent mechanism during macrophage differentiation from THP1 cells. siRNA-mediated knockdown of RORα significantly downregulated NCEH1 and inhibited lipid droplet formation in human hepatoma cells. In contrast, NCEH1 was induced by treatment with RORα agonists. Conclusion: These data strongly suggested that NCEH1 is a direct RORα target, defining potential new roles for RORα in the inhibition of lipid droplet formation through NCEH1. Keywords: Atherosclerosis, Cholesterol ester, Lipid droplet, Macrophage, Transcriptional regulation, Nuclear receptor, RORα, NCEH1

Conclusion: These data strongly suggested that NCEH1 is a direct RORα target, defining potential new roles for RORα in the inhibition of lipid droplet formation through NCEH1.

Active uptake of a free fatty acid, oleate, and its incorporation into triacylglycerol and phospholipid in the human monocytic cell line, U937, was identified using 14C-labelled oleate. Excess triacylglycerol accumulates in the form of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. The extent of lipid droplet formation in each cell can be assessed in the absence of any staining by 90° light scatter intensity, one of the basic parameters of flow cytometry.Key words: monocyte, free fatty acid, triacylglycerol, flow cytometry.

Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) is a lipid droplet-associated protein that is expressed early during adipose differentiation. The present study was undertaken to reveal the role of ADRP in adipose differentiation. In murine fibroblasts infected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-ADRP fusion protein expression adenovirus vector, confocal microscopic analysis showed the number and size of lipid droplets apparently increased comparing with those of control cells. Overexpressed GFP-ADRP were mainly located at the surface of lipid droplets and appeared to be “ring-shaped.” Triacylglycerol content was also significantly ( P < 0.001) increased in GFP-ADRP-overexpressed cells compared with control cells. ADRP-induced lipid accumulation did not depend on adipocyte-specific gene induction, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, lipoprotein lipase, or other lipogenic genes, including acyl-CoA synthetase, fatty acid-binding protein, and fatty acid transporter. In conclusion, ADRP stimulated lipid accumulation and lipid droplet formation without induction of other adipocyte-specific genes or other lipogenic genes in murine fibroblasts. The detailed molecular mechanisms of ADRP on lipid accumulation remain to be elucidated.
