Recent studies in yeast reveal an intricate interplay between nuclear envelope (NE) architecture and lipid metabolism, and between lipid signaling and both epigenome and genome integrity. In this review, we highlight the reciprocal connection between lipids and histone modifications, which enable metabolic reprogramming in response to nutrients. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-NE regulates the compartmentalization and temporal availability of epigenetic metabolites and its lipid composition also impacts nuclear processes, such as transcriptional silencing and the DNA damage response (DDR). We also discuss recent work providing mechanistic insight into lipid droplet (LD) formation and sterols in the nucleus, and the collective data showing Opi1 as a central factor in both membrane sensing and transcriptional regulation of lipid-chromatin interrelated processes.

Glial cell-induced neuroinflammation in the spinal cord is the critical pathology underlying complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain. Previously, we showed that spinal glial cells undergo ferroptosis after CFA injection, which may contribute to the development of neuroinflammation and inflammatory pain. However, the mechanism underlying the occurrence of ferroptosis during inflammatory pain remains unclear.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common and severe complication of sepsis with a high mortality rate. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, contributes to lung injury. Homeobox A5 (HOXA5) is involved in the regulation of septic acute kidney damage; however, its function on ferroptosis in septic ALI remains unclear.

Phosphoinositides also called Polyphosphoinositides (PPIns) are small lipid messengers with established key roles in organelle trafficking and cell signaling in response to physiological and environmental inputs. Besides their well-described functions in the cytoplasm, accumulating evidences pointed to PPIns involvement in transcription and chromatin regulation. Through the description of previous and recent advances of PPIns implication in transcription, this review highlights key discoveries on how PPIns modulate nuclear factors activity and might impact chromatin to modify gene expression.

In response to agonists, LXRs induce the expression of key lipid homeostasis regulators. Crosstalk between LXRs and inflammatory signals exist in a cell type- and gene-specific manner.

In barley having adherent hulls, an irreversible connection between the pericarp with both palea and lemma is formed during grain maturation. A mutation in the () gene prevents this connection and leads to the formation of barley with non-adherent hulls. A genetic model of two isogenic lines was used to elucidate the genetic mechanisms of hull adhesion: a doubled haploid line having adherent hulls and its derivative with non-adherent hulls obtained by targeted mutagenesis of the gene.
