Background: Organising pneumonia (OP) is one of the most common and lethal diseases in the category of interstitial pneumonia, along with lung cancer. Reprogramming of lipid metabolism is a newly recognized hallmark of many diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, as well as liver fibrosis and sclerosis. Increased levels of ceramides composed of sphingosine and fatty acid, are implicated in the development of both acute and chronic lung diseases. However, their pathophysiological significance in OP is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of lipid metabolism reprogramming in OP, focusing on inflammation and fibrosis.
Methods: Comprehensive multi-omics profiling approaches, including single-cell RNA sequencing, Visium CytAssist spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and mass spectrometry, were employed to analyze the tissues. OP mice model was utilized and molecular mechanisms were investigated in macrophages.
Results: The results revealed a significant association between OP and lipid metabolism reprogramming, characterized by an abnormal expression of several genes related to lipid metabolism, including CD36, SCD1, and CES1 mainly in macrophages. CD36 deficiency in alveolar macrophages, led to an increased expression of C16/24 ceramides that accumulated in mitochondria, resulting in mitophagy or mitochondrial dysfunction. The number of alveolar macrophages in OP was significantly reduced, which was probably due to the ferroptosis signaling pathway involving GSH/SLC3A2/GPX4 through CD36 downregulation in OP. Furthermore, macrophage secretion of DPP7 and FABP4 influenced epithelial cell fibrosis.
Conclusions: CD36 inhibited the ferroptosis pathway involving SLC3A2/GPX4 in alveolar macrophages of OP tissue by regulating lipid metabolism, thus representing a new anti-ferroptosis and anti-fibrosis effect of CD36 mediated, at least in part, by ceramides.
Highlights: Our findings reveal a significant association between organising pneumonia and lipid metabolism reprogramming and will make a substantial contribution to the understanding of the mechanism of organising pneumonia in patients.

Background: Piperine, a secondary metabolite, affects the antihyperlipidemic effect of Ezetimibe (EZ). Hyperlipidemia is one of the independent risk factors for cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. Antihyperlipidemic drugs are essential for reducing cardiovascular events and patient mortality.

Background: Protein palmitoylation, a critical posttranslational modification, plays an indispensable role in various cellular processes, including the regulation of protein stability, mediation of membrane fusion, facilitation of intracellular protein trafficking, and participation in cellular signaling pathways. It is also implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, metabolic disorders, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, its regulatory effects on sperm physiology, particularly motility, remain unclear.

Background: Perinatal growth and nutrition have been shown to be determinants in the programming of different tissues, such as adipose tissue, predisposing individuals to metabolic alterations later in life. Previous studies have documented an increased risk of metabolic disturbances and low-grade inflammation in prepubertal children with a history of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR). The aim of this study was to evaluate possible alterations resulting from impaired growth during early childhood and their impact on young adult health.

Significant changes in the proteome highlight essential metabolic adaptations for development and oxidative signaling induced by the treatment of young sugarcane plants with hydrogen peroxide. These adaptations suggest that hydrogen peroxide acts not only as a stressor but primarily as a signaling molecule, triggering specific metabolic pathways that regulate growth and plant resilience. Sugarcane is a crucial crop for sugar and ethanol production, often influenced by environmental signals.

On acidified soil, the growth of Eucalyptus is seriously restricted by aluminum (Al) stress. Therefore, breeding Eucalyptus species with excellent Al tolerance, developing the genetic potential of species, and improving tolerance to Al stress are important for the sustainable development of artificial Eucalyptus forests. By observing the occurrence and distribution of the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in root tips of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress, this study analyzed change in the growth and physiological indexes of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress.
