Breeding is a feasible strategy to develop low-oil oat (Avena sativa) varieties, which aligns with specific processing needs and dietary preferences. To identify factors contributing to a low-oil phenotype, we optimised a sequential extraction workflow for proteomics and lipidomics analyses on five Australian oat varieties with different oil contents. Oat oil content positively correlated with abundances of several proteins in lipid synthesis pathways, suggesting their key lipid regulatory roles. Lipidomics was used to complement proteomics data and revealed a negative correlation between triacylglycerols and other lipid classes such as diacylglycerols and phospholipids. Spatial regulation of lipids was also investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) and proteomics analysis of tissue-enriched fractions, providing further insights into distinct physiological functions of the endosperm and embryo. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated different nutrient-synthesising capacity in high- vs low-oil varieties. Findings from this study may support future breeding for low-oil oats.

Background: Amniotic fluid (AF) plays a key role in fetal development, yet the evolving composition of AF and its effects on hemostasis and thrombosis are poorly understood.
Objectives: To characterize the procoagulant properties of AF as a function of gestation in humans and nonhuman primates.
Methods: We analyzed the proteomes, lipidomes, and procoagulant properties of AF obtained by amniocentesis from rhesus macaque and human pregnancies at gestational age-matched time points.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is known to impair the function of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), disrupting lipid metabolism. Despite the crucial role lipid plays in regulating adipose tissue function, the specific lipidomic alterations in VAT and SAT under ER stress remain unclear. In this study, ER stress was induced in VAT and SAT, and targeted lipidomic and transcriptomic approaches were used to analyze lipid metabolism and gene expression profiles.

Mitochondrion apart from being the energy hub of the cell, is also the center of various signaling pathways. During intracellular infection, either bacterial or viral, several pathogen proteins, metabolites, and possibly, lipids interact with the host mitochondria. These interactions allow the pathogens, such as Mtb, to reprogram the host mitochondrial functions, screwing the host immune responses and resulting in the persistence of the bacteria.

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. It is a lipid-triggered and cytokine/chemokine-driven arterial inflammatory condition. We identify D-dopachrome tautomerase/macrophage migration-inhibitory factor-2 (MIF-2), a paralog of the cytokine MIF, as an atypical chemokine promoting both atherosclerosis and hepatic lipid accumulation.
