Histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus that most frequently causes pneumonia, but can also disseminate and proliferate in diverse tissues. Histoplasma capsulatum has a complex secretion system that mediates the release of macromolecule‐degrading enzymes and virulence factors. The formation and release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an important mechanism for non‐conventional secretion in both ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. Histoplasma capsulatum EVs contain diverse proteins associated with virulence and are immunologically active. Despite the growing knowledge of EVs from H. capsulatum and other pathogenic fungi, the extent that changes in the environment impact the sorting of organic molecules in EVs has not been investigated. In this study, we cultivated H. capsulatum with distinct culture media to investigate the potential plasticity in EV loading in response to differences in nutrition. Our findings reveal that nutrition plays an important role in EV loading and formation, which may translate into differences in biological activities of these fungi in various fluids and tissues. 相似文献

Coordinated lipid metabolism contributes to maintaining skin homeostasis by regulating skin barrier formation, immune reactions, thermogenesis, and perception. Several reports have documented the changes in lipid composition in dermatitis, including in atopic dermatitis (AD); however, the specific mechanism by which these lipid profiles are altered during AD pathogenesis remains unknown. Here, we performed untargeted and targeted lipidomic analyses of an AD-like dermatitis model resulting from constitutive activation of Janus kinase 1 (Spade mice) to capture the comprehensive lipidome profile during dermatitis onset and progression. We successfully annotated over 700 skin lipids, including glycerophospholipids, ceramides, neutral lipids, and fatty acids, many of which were found to be present at significantly changed levels after dermatitis onset, as determined by the pruritus and erythema. Among them, we found the levels of ceramides composed of nonhydroxy fatty acid and dihydrosphingosine containing very long-chain (C22 or more) fatty acids were significantly downregulated before AD onset. Furthermore, in vitro enzyme assays using the skin of Spade mice demonstrated the enhancement of ceramide desaturation. Finally, we revealed topical application of ceramides composed of nonhydroxy fatty acid and dihydrosphingosine before AD onset effectively ameliorated the progression of AD symptoms in Spade mice. Our results suggest that the disruption in epidermal ceramide composition is caused by boosting ceramide desaturation in the initiation phase of AD, which regulates AD pathogenesis. 相似文献

Niemann–Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. As a result of the genetic defect, there is accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and sphingolipids in the late endosomal/lysosomal system causing both visceral and neurological defects. These manifest clinically as hepatosplenomegaly, liver dysfunction, and neurodegeneration. While significant progress has been made to better understand NPC1, the downstream effects of cholesterol storage and the major mechanisms that drive these pathologies remains less understood. In this study, it is sought to investigate free fatty acid levels in Npc1?/? mice with focus on the polyunsaturated ω‐3 and ω‐6 fatty acids. Since fatty acids are the main constituents of numerous lipids species, a discovery based lipidomic study of liver tissue in Npc1?/? mice is also performed. To this end, alterations in fatty acid synthesis, including the ω‐3 and 6 fatty acids, are reported. Further, alterations in enzymes that regulate the synthesis of ω‐3 and 6 fatty acids are reported. Analysis of the liver lipidome reveals alterations in both storage and membrane lipids including ceramides, fatty acids, phosphatidylcholamines, phosphatidylglycerols, phosphatidylethanolamines, sphingomyelins, and triacylglycerols in Npc1?/? mice at a late stage of disease. 相似文献

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex clinical syndrome, but a predominant subset of HFpEF patients has metabolic syndrome (MetS). Mechanistically, systemic, nonresolving inflammation associated with MetS might drive HFpEF remodeling. Free fatty acid receptor 4 (Ffar4) is a GPCR for long-chain fatty acids that attenuates metabolic dysfunction and resolves inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that Ffar4 would attenuate remodeling in HFpEF secondary to MetS (HFpEF-MetS). To test this hypothesis, mice with systemic deletion of Ffar4 (Ffar4KO) were fed a high-fat/high-sucrose diet with L-NAME in their water to induce HFpEF-MetS. In male Ffar4KO mice, this HFpEF-MetS diet induced similar metabolic deficits but worsened diastolic function and microvascular rarefaction relative to WT mice. Conversely, in female Ffar4KO mice, the diet produced greater obesity but no worsened ventricular remodeling relative to WT mice. In Ffar4KO males, MetS altered the balance of inflammatory oxylipins systemically in HDL and in the heart, decreasing the eicosapentaenoic acid-derived, proresolving oxylipin 18-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (18-HEPE), while increasing the arachidonic acid-derived, proinflammatory oxylipin 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE). This increased 12-HETE/18-HEPE ratio reflected a more proinflammatory state both systemically and in the heart in male Ffar4KO mice and was associated with increased macrophage numbers in the heart, which in turn correlated with worsened ventricular remodeling. In summary, our data suggest that Ffar4 controls the proinflammatory/proresolving oxylipin balance systemically and in the heart to resolve inflammation and attenuate HFpEF remodeling. 相似文献

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) predisposes to chronic kidney disease via activation of proinflammatory pathways, and omega-3 PUFAs (n-3 PUFAs) have anti-inflammatory properties. In female rats, we investigated 1) how an elevated dietary n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio (1:1) during postnatal kidney development modifies kidney phospholipid (PL) and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolite content and 2) whether the diet counteracts adverse molecular protein signatures expected in IUGR kidneys. IUGR was induced by bilateral uterine vessel ligation or intrauterine stress through sham operation 3.5 days before term. Control (C) offspring were born after uncompromised pregnancy. On postnatal (P) days P2–P39, rats were fed control (n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio 1:20) or n-3 PUFA intervention diet (N3PUFA; ratio 1:1). Plasma parameters (P33), kidney cortex lipidomics and proteomics, as well as histology (P39) were studied. We found that the intervention diet tripled PL-DHA content (PC 40:6; P < 0.01) and lowered both PL-AA content (PC 38:4 and lyso-phosphatidylcholine 20:4; P < 0.05) and AA metabolites (HETEs, dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids, and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids) to 25% in all offspring groups. After ligation, our network analysis of differentially expressed proteins identified an adverse molecular signature indicating inflammation and hypercoagulability. N3PUFA diet reversed 61 protein alterations (P < 0.05), thus mitigating adverse IUGR signatures. In conclusion, an elevated n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio in early diet strongly reduces proinflammatory PLs and mediators while increasing DHA-containing PLs regardless of prior intrauterine conditions. Counteracting a proinflammatory hypercoagulable protein signature in young adult IUGR individuals through early diet intervention may be a feasible strategy to prevent developmentally programmed kidney damage in later life. 相似文献
