Systematic gene knockout studies may offer us novel insights on cell metabolism and physiology. Specifically, the lipid accumulation mechanism at the molecular or cellular level is yet to be determined in the oleaginous yeast . Herein, we established ten engineered strains with the knockout of important genes involving in central carbon metabolism, NADPH generation, and fatty acid biosynthetic pathways. Our result showed that NADPH sources for lipogenesis include the OxPP pathway, POM cycle, and a trans-mitochondrial isocitrate-α-oxoglutarate NADPH shuttle in . Moreover, we found that knockout of mitochondrial NAD isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH2 and overexpression of cytosolic NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase IDP2 could facilitate lipid synthesis. Besides, we also demonstrated that acetate is a more favorable carbon source for lipid synthesis when glycolysis step is impaired, indicating the evolutionary robustness of . This systematic investigation of gene deletions and overexpression across various lipogenic pathways would help us better understand lipogenesis and engineer yeast factories to upgrade the lipid biomanufacturing platform.

Metabolic reprogramming plays a critical role in in tumorigenesis and progression, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Solute Carriers (SLCs) family is responsible for the transport of a range of nutrients and has been linked to various cancers. Cancer stem cells (CSC) are a contributing factor to the recurrence and metastasis of HCC.

Although canonical adaptive metabolic processes like lipid storage or desaturation are known cellular responses to saturated fat exposure, the link between SFA metabolism and organellar biology remains an area of active inquiry. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen in human epithelial cells to identify modulators of SFA toxicity.

People with CD do not like sweets. We discovered that SLC25A13 loss causes accumulation of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), which activates carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) to transcribe FGF21, which acts in the brain to restrain intake of sweets and alcohol, and to transcribe key genes of lipogenesis.

Nutritional supplementation cannot fully reverse tissue wasting, and the mechanisms underlying this phenotype are unclear. This work aims to define the relative contributions of catabolism and anabolism to adipose wasting in PDAC-bearing mice.

CD4 T cell activation induces dramatic changes to cellular metabolism for supporting their growth and differentiation into effector subsets. While the cytokines IL-4, TGF-β and IL-21 promote differentiation into Th9 cells, metabolic factors regulating this process remain poorly understood. To assess the role of lipid metabolism in human Th9 cell differentiation, naïve CD4 T cells were purified from blood of healthy volunteers and cultured in the presence or absence of compounds targeting PPAR-γ, acetyl-CoA-carboxylase 1 (ACC1), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) for four days.
