Abstract

Plant sulpholipid, sulphoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG), represents about 12% of the lipid mass in higher plants and as the lipid with net negative charge is capable to play a specific role in the structural organisation of the membrane. SQDG appears to be concentrated mainly in the plant chloroplasts, as in envelope so and in lamellar membranes; higher plant chloroplasts are considered to be completely autonomous for SQDG synthesis both the DAG moiety and the head group. The possible pathway of SQDG biosyntheses and functions are discussed.

C6ORF120 regulates hepatic lipid metabolism through PPAR signaling pathway in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

Background Emerging evidence indicates that C6ORF120 is highly expressed in the liver and may modulate immune responses in various hepatic disorders. However, its role in hepatic lipid metabolism and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is unexplored. This study aimed to elucidate the effects and potential mechanisms of C6ORF120 on hepatic lipogenesis. Methods C6ORF120 expression in MASLD was assessed using patient serum and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. A high-fat diet-induced MASLD model was established in C6orf120-KO rats. Fatty acid-induced lipid accumulation models were generated in primary hepatocytes, HepG2 and Huh7 cells. These models were employed to investigate the effects of C6ORF120 on hepatic lipogenesis and MASLD progression. Results C6ORF120 expression was significantly upregulated in MASLD patients and obese rat models. Genetic deletion of C6ORF120 markedly alleviated high-fat diet-induced steatosis in the liver of rats. In vitro, C6orf120 gene deficiency attenuated lipid accumulation and suppressed key lipogenic genes (such as fatty acid synthase (Fasn), phospho-acetyl coenzyme carboxylase (p-ACC), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (Srebp1c)) in primary hepatocytes and HepG2 cells. Conversely, C6ORF120 overexpression increased lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. RNA sequencing analysis showed that lipid metabolism pathway and peroxisome proliferators activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway were significantly altered in the liver of C6orf120-KO rats. We demonstrated that C6ORF120 may regulate lipid metabolism through the hepatic PPARα, which is involved in fatty acid production and lipid oxidation. Further, we found that serum C6ORF120 expression was correlated with clinical indicators in patients with MASLD. Conclusion This study preliminarily revealed a novel function for C6ORF120 in hepatic lipid metabolism via affecting the PPAR pathway. The result identifies C6ORF120 as a novel regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism through PPARα-dependent mechanisms, offering potential therapeutic targets for MASLD.

Sorption of aromatic organic pollutants to grasses from water.

The influence of plant lipids on the equilibrium sorption of three aromatic solutes from water was studied. The plant-water sorption isotherms of benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and phenanthrene were measured over a large range of solute concentrations using sealed vessels containing water, dried plant material, and solute. The plant materials studied include the shoots of annual rye, tall fescue, red fescue, and spinach as well as the roots of annual rye. Seven out of eight sorption isotherms were linear with no evidence of competitive effects between the solutes. For a given plant type, the sorption coefficient increased with decreasing solute water solubility. For a given solute, sorption increased with increasing plant lipid content. The estimated lipid-water partition coefficients of individual solutes were found to be significantly greater than the corresponding octanol-water partition coefficients. This indicates that plant lipids are a more effective partition solvent than octanol for the studied aromatic compounds. As expected, the solute lipid-water partition coefficients were log-linearly related to the respective water solubilities. For the compounds studied, partitioning into the lipids is believed to be the primary sorption mechanism.
