We systematically reviewed literature and analyzed the diagnosis and treatment of six cases who were admitted for the treatment of a breast mass, but were eventually diagnosed as ANLL (M2a phenotype) with breast infiltration. Then they were transferred to the hematology department for standardized chemotherapy. Their peripheral blood cells gradually recovered to normal levels and symptoms disappeared. One patient, who also suffered from kidney disease, was also healed. No obvious recurrence was detected during the follow-up period, which lasted between 14 and 38 months. In conclusion, to avoid this disease misdiagnosis and detours, appropriate examinations should be performed to allow for early detection. Moreover, this should be combined with bone marrow cytology and pathology examinations to diagnose and treat this type of leukemia at the earliest stage possible.Keywords: Breast; Myeloid sarcoma; Acute nonlymphocytic leukemia; Diagnosis and therapyIntroductionAcute non-lymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) cells can infiltrate most organs of the body, including bone, joints, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and skin[1]. However, infiltration of ANLL cells to the breast (breast granulocytic sarcoma) as an initial symptom for admission to the clinic is rarely reported [2-5]. The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease is still unclear. Due, in part, to its rarity, the misdiagnosis of this disease is as high as 75% [2]. The occurrence of infiltration can be detected from the characteristics of the peripheral blood and bone marrow. Although it was reported as an early manifestation of acute leukemia, it was misdiagnosed as breast fibrosarcoma. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical records of six patients who were initially admitted for breast masses but who were eventually diagnosed with ANLL (M2a phenotype) with breast infiltration. The cases presented here are from the Breast Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October 2008 to September 2010.Patients and MethodsAll six patients were females whose ages ranged from 21 to 58 years. The duration of treatment ranged from 8 days to 2 years. Two patients presented with left internal mammary tumors, two patients displayed right mammary tumors, and two patients presented with bilateral mammary tumors. Three of the six patients suffered from multiple mammary tumors, and one patient also suffered from combined nephritic syndrome (membranous nephropathy). Ancillary examinations involved blood tests for white blood cells, and patients were categorized as either having a normal count of white blood cells or an abnormal count. Immature cells were also observed in the smears. Three cases with simple mammary tumors underwent removal of tumor tissue, which were diagnosed as breast granulocytic sarcomas. In a majority of patients, leukemia was confirmed by both immunohistochemical staining and bone marrow biopsy smear examination. For two of the patients, leukemia was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy smear examination alone since they suffered from an abnormal white blood cell count. One patient was diagnosed as breast granulocytic sarcoma by a histology examination with core needle aspiration. Due to an abnormal white blood cell count, leukemia in this same patient was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy smear only.The patients admitted to the hospital underwent normal physical examinations and tissue biopsy cytology. For each patient, the mass was resected and frozen for postoperative pathological, immunohistological, and bone marrow examinations. Following testing with antibodies, complements, T cell subtypes, and immunophenotyping, all patients were officially diagnosed with ANLL (M2a) with breast infiltration. Considering that the tumor may have been caused by leukemia extramedullary infiltration, surgical operation was not immediately considered. All patients were transferred to the internal hematology department for chemotherapy with daunorubicin + Ara-C (DA) regimens.ResultsAll six patients were officially diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy and immunophenotyping examination as having ANLL (M2a) with breast infiltration. Following consultation, all patients were transferred to the hematology department to receive standardized chemotherapy regimens for leukemia. After the therapy, blood cell counts gradually recovered. Furthermore, breast lumps and axillary lymph nodes disappeared. The single patient suffering from kidneydisease with combined nephrotic syndrome was also healed. During the follow-up period between 14 and 38 months, no obvious recurrences were detected.As a typical example of one of our six cases, a 43-year-old female was admitted to our department in February 2009 after discovering that she had a left internal mammary tumor that had been developing for 7 months. Three months prior, this patient suffered from fatigue and bilateral extremity edema. Thus, following a kidney biopsy and pathological examination at Le Qing People’s Hospital, t his patient was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome (membranous nephropathy). The patient received oral prednisone, Glucosidorum Tripterygll Totorum, and other drug treatments. Following a physical examination, the patient showed stable vital signs and a clear mind and spirit. There were no problems associated with the patient’s cardiopulmonary system, and her bilateral supraclavicular lymph nodes were not enlarged. Her abdomen was flat and no gastrointestinal or peristaltic waves were detected. No palpable masses were detected on her liver, spleen, or costal margin. No sensitivity was reported in the areas of the liver and kidney. The limbs and spine were normal, and she displayed a normal physical reflex. Following examination by a specialist, it was confirmed that the patient’s breasts were symmetric but that she had an approximately 5.5 cm × 6.0 cm sized solid lump near the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. Additionally, she had two 1.5 cm × 2.5 cm sized hard lumps near the upper inner quadrant of the left breast, which presented with poorly defined boundaries, poor activity, lack of tenderness, and no obvious skin adhesion. The right breast was normal. However, several hard enlarged lymph nodes were detected in the left axillary area. These displayed good activity and were 1.0 cm × 1.2 cm at their maximum size. No obvious enlarged lymph nodes were found in the right axillary and bilateral supraclavian and infraclavian areas.Ancillary examination involved routine blood cell counting. The patient displayed the following counts: white blood cells 5.15×109/L, neutrophils 9.14%, lymphocytes 75.04%, mononuclear cells 15.94%, red blood cells 3.44×1012/L, hemoglobin 103 g/L, and platelets 87×109/L. No abnormalities were found in,liver and kidney functions, electrolytes, blood sugar, blood coagulation, stool, urine, chest X-ray, or electrocardiogram. The patient also underwent a number of tests, which are described in the next section. Molybdenum target radiography of the breasts: 1) multiple occupancy was found in the left breast, and additional pathological examinations were suggested once malignancy could not be excluded; 2) multiple enlarged lymph nodes were found at the left axillary site; 3) bilateral breast hyperplasia was detected and follow-up was suggested. Color ultrasound: multiple occupancy was found in the left breast, and multiple enlarged lymph nodes were found at the left axillary site; additionally, the patient seemed to suffer from splenomegaly, but no abnormalities were found in the kidneys, ureter, or bladder. Fine needle aspiration of the left breast mass for cytology examination: there were many acute and chronic inflammatory cells and necrotic components. Core needle aspiration of the left breast mass for histopathological examination: we identified left internal mammary granulocytic sarcoma. Immunohistochemistry: LCA (+), MPO (+), bcl-6 (-), CK (-), CK7 (-), CD79 (-), HCHL7 (-), CD5 (-), CD10 (-), CyclinD1 (-), CD3 (-), CD20 (-), suggesting that this was actually a case of leukemia cells that had infiltrated into the breast. Bone marrow biopsy: provided evidence that this was acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, specifically M2a type and immunophenotyping. Whole-body bone scan by emission CT (ECT): an increased bone salt metabolism lesion was detected near the right upper maxillary bone; elevated bonemetabolism lesions were found in the parietal bone, both shoulders, the wrist, hands, and a small bone at the joints and both knees; periodic review suggested that these lesions may bebenign. T cell subtypes: CD3:15.3%,CD4:5.6%,CD8:9.5%,CD4/CD8:0.59,NK(CD16+56):3.4%。
Minireview:Lipid Droplets in Lipogenesis and LipolysisNicole A.Ducharme and Perry E.BickelCenter for Diabetes and Obesity Research,Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine,University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston,Houston,Texas 77030Organisms store energy for later use during times of nutrient scarcity.Excess energy is stored as triacylglycerol in lipid droplets during lipogenesis.When energy is required,the stored triacylglycerol is hydrolyzed via activation of lipolytic pathways.The coordination of lipid storage and utilization is regulated by the perilipin family of lipid droplet coat proteins [perilipin,adipophilin/adipocyte differentiation-related pro-tein (ADRP),S3-12,tail-interacting protein of 47kilodaltons (TIP47),and myocardial lipid droplet protein (MLDP)/oxida-tive tissues-enriched PAT protein (OXPAT)/lipid storage droplet protein 5(LSDP5)].Lipid droplets are dynamic and heterogeneous in size,location,and protein content.The pro-teins that coat lipid droplets change during lipid droplet bio-genesis and are dependent upon multiple factors,including tissue-specific expression and metabolic state (basal vs.lipo-genic vs.lipolytic).New data suggest that proteins previously implicated in vesicle trafficking,including Rabs,soluble N -ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs),and motor and cytoskeletal proteins,likely orches-trate the movement and fusion of lipid droplets.Thus,rather than inert cytoplasmic inclusions,lipid droplets are now ap-preciated as dynamic organelles that are critical for manage-ment of cellular lipid stores.That much remains to be discov-ered is suggested by the recent identification of a novel lipase [adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL)]and lipase regulator [Comparative Gene Identification-58(CGI-58)],which has led to reconsideration of the decades-old model of lipolysis.Fu-ture discovery likely will be driven by the exploitation of model organisms and by human genetic studies.(Endocrinol-ogy 149:942–949,2008)ORGANISMS STORE LIPID when they take in more energy that can be immediately used.This excessenergy is packaged and stored for later use when the need for energy outstrips available nutrient supply.In mammals,adipose tissue,in addition to its role as an endocrine organ,is specialized for storage and retrieval of energy in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG),but all eukaryotic cells,and even prokaryotes,are able to store limited amounts of lipid in-tracellularly in structures most commonly referred to as lipid droplets.Other terms for these structures include lipid bod-ies and adiposomes in animals and oil bodies in plants.Lipid droplets are structurally similar to circulating lipoproteins in that they have a core of esterified lipids (TAG,cholesterol ester,retinol esters,or ether lipids,depending on the cell type)that is encased by a phospholipid monolayer and a coat of specific proteins.During times of energy scarcity,the organism accesses these stores and retrieves the stored en-ergy via the activity of lipid hydrolases,known as lipases.Increasingly,lipid droplets are being recognized as dynamic organelles that are regulated by evolutionarily conserved families of proteins,including the perilipin family.Reviewarticles have summarized recent discoveries in the field (1–3).We will provide an overview of neutral lipid packaging through the generation of lipid droplets and of unpacking via lipolysis,with special focus on recent work that relates to lipid droplet assembly,enlargement,and movement.Cellular Roles of Lipid DropletsThe sequestration of lipid in droplets provides a depot of stored energy that can be accessed in a regulated fashion according to metabolic need.The stored lipid can also be used as substrate for synthesis of other important cellular molecules,such as membrane phospholipids and eico-sanoids.The products of TAG hydrolysis,diacylglycerol (DAG)and free fatty acids,may influence cell signaling ei-ther directly or via subsequent metabolism,for example to fatty acyl coenzyme A.Free fatty acids may influence gene expression by acting as ligands for nuclear receptors,such as the peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)fam-ily.Excess intracellular free fatty acids can disrupt phospho-lipid bilayer membrane integrity,alter lipid signaling path-ways,and induce apoptosis (4).The esterification of free fatty acids with glycerol and the packing of TAG into coated droplets thus provide cells a means of regulating the avail-ability of substrates for energy utilization and of lipid sig-naling molecules as well as of potentially toxic metabolites.Over the past decade,significant attention has been paid to the association of type 2diabetes with excess intracellular lipid in nonadipose tissues.Data from different labs have suggested various mechanisms by which intracellular lipids may disrupt cellular function in insulin-secreting cells (-cells)and insulin-responsive cells (myocytes,cardiomyo-cytes,and hepatocytes).Incubation of several cell types with long-chain saturated fatty acids leads to increased de novo ceramide synthesis and increased production of

of apoptosis(5,6).Whether increased reactive oxygen species or ceramide is the primary trigger for apoptosis remains controversial and may depend on cell type.In skeletal muscle and liver,fatty acid metab-olites such as DAG or fatty acyl coenzyme A activate atypical protein kinase C isoforms,thereby leading to serine/threo-nine phosphorylation and inhibition of insulin-responsive substrate proteins(reviewed in Ref.7).Accumulation of lip-ids in peripheral tissues can be prevented by efficient se-questration of TAG in adipocytes.In this regard,it has been proposed that a major function of the adipocyte-secreted hormone leptin is to prevent ectopic lipid accumulation in nonadipocytes at least in part by promoting fatty acid oxi-dation and preventing induction of lipogenesis in muscle and liver(8).The storage of lipid in nonadipocytes in and of itself is not the likely culprit in lipotoxicity.In Chinese ham-ster ovary cells,coadministration of the monounsaturated fatty acid oleate with the saturated fatty acid palmitate in-creases the incorporation of palmitate into TAG and provides protection against palmitate-induced lipotoxicity(9).Thus, the sequestration of TAG into lipid droplets may protect against lipotoxicity.The case of endurance athletes is another example.Insulin-sensitive endurance athletes and insulin-resistant subjects with type2diabetes both have increased intramyocellular lipid(10),but the athletes also have in-creased capacity to oxidize fatty acids,thereby limiting ac-cumulation of fatty acid metabolites(recently reviewed by Moro et al.in Ref.11).Understanding the mechanisms re-sponsible for packing and unpacking TAG in different tis-sues is,therefore,critical for designing strategies to protect cells from lipotoxicity.The packaging of lipid into discrete storage droplets may help transport the lipid cargo to specific cellular destinations or direct the neutral lipids and their metabolites to specific metabolic or signaling pathways.Such coordination of lipid droplet metabolism is likely controlled by the lipid droplet coat proteins of the perilipin family,which include the founding member perilipin,as well as adipophilin[also known as adipocyte differentiation-related protein(ADRP or ADFP)],tail-interacting protein of47kilodaltons(TIP47), S3-12,and oxidative tissues-enriched PAT protein(OXPAT). This family has also been referred to as the PAT family in recognition of the first three members to be localized to lipid droplets,perilipin,adipophilin/ADRP,and TIP47(12). These perilipin family proteins share sequence similarity and localize to lipid droplets,either constitutively(perilipin,adi-pophilin/ADRP)or in response to lipogenic and/or lipolytic stimuli(TIP47,S3-12,and OXPAT).For more comprehensive discussions of the PAT family proteins,the reader is referred to recent reviews(1,3,13).In addition to the above noted functions for lipid droplets, recent studies have suggested unexpected roles as well.In addition to being a storage depot for lipid,lipid droplets may sequester specific proteins when levels of those proteins are high.Welte(14)has proposed that such proteins be termed refugee proteins,because lipid droplets provide them tem-porary shelter when they are not needed or desirable in the cellular compartment where they normally function.The mechanisms,regulation,and biological significance of pro-tein sequestration on lipid droplets remain to be established,but some intriguing data are emerging.For example,in the Drosophila egg,excess maternally derived histones are se-questered on lipid droplets and then move to the nucleus as the embryo develops(15).In this way,the early embryo may be protected from toxic effects of excess free histones and also have an accessible supply of histones for mobilization when needed later in development.Lipid Droplet BiogenesisAccording to the prevailing model,lipid droplets emerge from the endoplasmic reticulum(ER)lipid bilayer or from a subset of ER membranes as a lens of neutral lipid that then buds off from the cytoplasmic face of the bilayer to form a discrete nascent droplet within the cytoplasm(as reviewed in Refs.1,3,and16).This model is attractive because it explains the origin of the phospholipid monolayer that sur-rounds lipid droplets and also localizes the birthplace of lipid droplets to the organelle with which enzymes of neutral lipid synthesis fractionate biochemically.That lipid droplets are surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer has been con-firmed by cryoelectron microscopy(17),but this same study also found that the fatty acid composition of lipid droplet phospholipids differed from that of rough ER phospholipids. Ultrastructural studies have revealed intimate associations between lipid droplets and ER-like cisternal structures(18–20),and proteomic studies of lipid droplets isolated from various cell types,including3T3-L1adipocytes(21),Chinese hamster ovary cells(22),and a monocytic cell line(20),have revealed the presence of ER proteins.Points of apparent membrane continuity between ER-like structures and lipid droplets have been observed in some(18)but not all(19) studies.Incubation of3T3-L1adipocytes in oleate-rich me-dium results in the emergence of nascent lipid droplets that have a protein coat distinct from that of the preexisting perilipin-coated droplets(23).Transmission electron micro-graphs of oleate-loaded adipocytes reveal ER-like cisternae in close proximity to the surfaces of larger lipid droplets but not of the smallest,presumably nascent droplets(24).It has been pointed out that electron microscopy studies have not documented budding of nascent lipid droplets from the ER cytoplasmic leaflet(19).Such negative data do not refute the prevailing model but have suggested an alternative model, whereby the association of lipid droplets with ER-like mem-branes,like an egg cup(the ER)holding an egg(the lipid droplet)(19),does not reflect the site of lipid droplet origin but rather a means of lipid droplet expansion through trans-fer of lipid and adipophilin/ADRP.Thus,major fundamen-tal questions regarding the biogenesis of lipid droplets re-main to be answered.Lipid Droplet HeterogeneityThe formation and maturation of lipid droplets and the involvement of perilipin family members in these processes have been most extensively studied in cultured adipocytes. Under resting conditions,the majority of adipocyte lipid droplets are coated by perilipin.However,when the cells are incubated with long-chain fatty acids,a new pool of smaller lipid droplets coated with S3-12and TIP47,but not perilipin, emerges at the periphery of the cell(23,24).Over time,moreDucharme and Bickel•Minireview Endocrinology,March2008,149(3):942–949943centrally located,larger droplets acquire adipophilin/ADRP on their coats,in addition to TIP47and rge,centrally located droplets are coated by perilipin.At the interface of the adipophilin/ADRP-and perilipin-coated droplets,a sub-set of droplets is coated with multiple perilipin family pro-tein combinations,such as adipophilin/ADRP or S3-12in addition to perilipin(reviewed in Ref.3).The heterogeneity of the lipid droplet coat during lipid loading of adipocytes suggests a coordinated process of lipid droplet maturation and movement from peripheral sites of synthesis to perinu-clear sites of storage.A fifth perilipin family member has been characterized independently by three groups and named myocardial lipid droplet protein(MLDP)(25),OXPAT(26),and lipid storage droplet protein5(LSDP5)(27).In COS cells that stably or transiently express OXPAT,OXPAT moves to lipid droplets in response to an influx of fatty acid(26,27),similar to TIP47 and S3-12in adipocytes.OXPAT transiently expressed in a mouse Leydig tumor cell line(25)and endogenous OXPAT in mouse primary cardiomyocytes(26)localize to lipid drop-lets in the absence of increased exogenous fatty acid. Heterogeneity of lipid droplet coats has also been revealed in other experimental systems.Subcellular localization stud-ies of proteins identified in a study of the Drosophila lipid droplet subproteome showed that specific proteins coat sub-sets of lipid droplets within the same cell(28).The authors concluded that the proteins that coat individual lipid drop-lets may constitute a zip code for lipid droplets that perform different functions within the cell.In another example of lipid droplet heterogeneity,lipid droplets that accumulate in term fetal membranes during gestation are coated with dif-ferent perilipin family members depending on lipid droplet size and cell type(29).The heterogeneity of lipid droplets with respect to size, location,and associated proteins within a given cell or tissue and between different tissues suggests that subpopulations of lipid droplets likely have specialized functions in lipid storage and metabolism.Potential Functions of Perilipin Family Members That each perilipin family member has a specialized func-tion is strongly suggested by their differential expression in mouse tissues(26),in addition to their differential localiza-tion and behavior in cells such as adipocytes.Adding to this complexity,some perilipin family members are expressed as tissue-specific isoforms generated by alternative splicing;the best studied example is perilipin itself(30).All perilipin isoforms are present in cells that make steroid hormones;the perilipin A and B isoforms are also expressed in adipocytes. Perilipins have also been detected in macrophages and smooth muscle cells of human atheroma(31).Adipophilin/ ADRP and TIP47are expressed in most if not all cell types, although little adipophilin/ADRP protein is detectable in mature adipocytes.S3-12expression is confined largely to white adipose tissue but is detectable in heart and skeletal muscle(23,32,33).OXPAT is found in tissues that have high rates of fatty acid oxidation,such as heart,brown adipose tissue,fasted liver,and skeletal muscle,especially muscle with predominantly slow-twitch fiber types(25–27).Most functional data for the family have come from stud-ies of perilipin itself.Perilipin was initially identified as the major adipocyte protein phosphorylated in response to ac-tivation of protein kinase A(PKA)(34).Its localization sur-rounding neutral lipid storage droplets in adipocytes led to the notion that it forms a hormonally regulated barrier be-tween cytosolic lipases and the neutral lipids within.Con-sistent with this model,heterologous expression of perilipin A in3T3-L1preadipocytes leads to increased TAG storage by reducing the rate of TAG hydrolysis rather than by promot-ing TAG synthesis(35).This model underwent dramatic revision when two groups independently reported the met-abolic phenotype of perilipin knockout mice(36,37).The previously hypothesized barrier function of perilipin was confirmed by the findings that these mice were lean and protected from genetic and diet-induced obesity due to in-creased basal TAG breakdown.However,an additional role in the control of cellular lipid stores was suggested by the observation that hormone-stimulated lipolysis in these mice was reduced.Thus,in addition to keeping lipases at bay under basal conditions,perilipin appears to coordinate the recruitment and/or activation of lipases under lipolytic con-ditions,as discussed below.Tansey and colleagues(37)noted that adipophilin/ADRP protein was increased in the adipose tissue of perilipin knockout mice and that adipophilin/ADRP coated adipo-cyte lipid droplets in lieu of perilipin.Thus,adipophilin/ ADRP is able to replace perilipin on the lipid droplet surface when perilipin is absent,but it cannot replace perilipin func-tionally to confer equivalent protection from basal lipolytic mechanisms or to confer full catecholamine-induced lipol-ysis.In fibroblasts(38),hepatic stellate cells(39),and mac-rophages(40,41),overexpression of adipophilin/ADRP pro-motes accumulation of neutral lipid and/or lipid droplets. Conversely,knockdown of adipophilin/ADRP in macro-phages using small interfering RNA(siRNA)dramatically reduces lipid accumulation and lipid droplet size and num-ber(41).A straightforward explanation of these data would be that,like perilipin,adipophilin/ADRP shields TAG stores from cytosolic lipases,although less effectively.This hypoth-esis has been challenged by the observation that adipophi-lin/ADRP overexpression in macrophages does not appear to protect TAG stores from lipolysis(41).Consistent with the in vitro studies,knockout of adipophilin/ADRP in mice has a phenotype of reduced TAG accumulation in the liver and reduced hepatic steatosis in response to high-fat feeding(42). The reduction in hepatic TAG is not explained by significant changes in hepatic fatty acid synthesis or uptake,TAG pro-duction,very-low-density lipoprotein secretion,or-oxida-tion.In contrast to reduced hepatic cytosolic TAG,adipophi-lin/ADRP knockout mice have a2-fold increase in hepatic microsomal TAG,which has led to the hypothesis that ab-sence of adipophilin/ADRP reduces partitioning of TAG into lipid droplets at the site of TAG synthesis,the ER(42).A recent report has shown that these adipophilin/ADRP knockout mice unexpectedly express an amino-terminal truncation of adipophilin/ADRP,termed⌬2,3-ADPH,that coats lipid droplets in mammary secretory epithelial cells after parturition(43).Whether⌬2,3-ADPH is expressed in other tissues of adipophilin/ADRP knockout mice is not944Endocrinology,March2008,149(3):942–949Ducharme and Bickel•Minireviewknown.Thus,adipophilin/ADRP may play a more indis-pensable role in cellular lipid metabolism than determined thus far.The functional role of TIP47has been examined recently by siRNA loss-of-function studies(44).Sztalryd and colleagues (44)generated clonal embryonic fibroblast cell lines from adipophilin/ADRP knockout and wild-type mice.No dif-ferences in lipid droplet formation,fatty acid uptake,or lipolysis are detectable between these cell lines,perhaps due to the observed up-regulation of TIP47in the knockout cells. However,siRNA knockdown of TIP47in the adipophilin/ ADRP knockout cells,but not wild-type cells,results in re-duced lipid droplets,reduced incorporation of oleate into TAG,and increased oleate incorporation into phospholipids. The genes for TIP47,S3-12,and OXPAT reside within200 kb on mouse chromosome17(26,27).The s3-12gene is immediately downstream from the oxpat gene.Despite this proximity,the expression of S3-12and OXPAT in mouse tissue is reciprocal with S3-12being expressed primarily in the tissue specialized for lipid storage,white adipose tissue, and OXPAT being expressed in tissues with a high capacity for lipid utilization,specifically heart,skeletal muscle,brown adipose tissue,and liver.Fasting induces OXPAT protein in liver(26,27)and heart(25,27).Ectopic expression of OXPAT promotes both-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids and TAG accumulation(26),which is similar to the phenotype of en-durance trained athletes who both store and burn more fat in skeletal muscle.The reciprocal patterns of expression of S3-12and OXPAT suggest that they have reciprocal functions with respect to cellular lipid metabolism,but this notion remains for experimental validation.Trafficking and Lipid DropletsLive-cell microscopy of3T3-L1adipocytes has revealed temporal and spatial changes in lipid droplets both during adipocyte differentiation(45)and during oleate loading(24). The realization that lipid droplets are dynamic organelles suggests that movement of the droplet itself and of constit-uent components to and from the droplet must be highly regulated.This regulation appears to be orchestrated by pro-teins previously associated with vesicular trafficking path-ways such as Rabs,soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors(SNAREs),motor proteins,and cytoskeletal components.Endocytic trafficking pathways in cells are often associ-ated with one or more Rab proteins,which are cycling GT-Pases that serve as functional addresses for vesicles.A pleth-ora of Rab proteins,at least18to date,have been associated with lipid droplets on the basis of proteomic studies of lipid droplets isolated by gradient fractionation(15,21,22,46).In most cases,localization of specific Rab proteins to lipid drop-lets has not been confirmed morphologically or functionally; however,such data are beginning to appear.Ozeki and col-leagues(47)identified11different Rabs by proteomic anal-ysis of lipid droplets from HepG2cells,but only Rab18 showed conclusive and consistent labeling of lipid droplets by immunofluorescence microscopy of cells transfected with tagged Rab cDNAs.Localization of Rab18to lipid droplets was dependent on its functional status in that wild-type and a constitutively GTP-bound Rab18mutant(Q67L)associated with lipid droplets but a constitutively GDP-bound Rab18 mutant(S22N)did not.In HepG2cells,overexpression of Rab18was associated with increased association of lipid droplets with membrane cisternae that were often continu-ous with the rough ER.Functional relevance of these findings to lipid metabolism has been strongly suggested by the find-ing that Rab18association with lipid droplets increases upon lipolytic stimulation of cells(48).Rab18may facilitate lipid droplet association with the ER to promote lipid transfer between these compartments(2,47).Other Rab GTPases have been functionally implicated in lipid droplet biology.In addition to Rab18,Liu and col-leagues(49)observed Rab5or Rab11on the surface of iso-lated lipid droplets by immunogold electron microscopy.In cell-free experiments,Rab5and Rab11were recruited to lipid droplets in a GTP-dependent manner and were extractable from lipid droplets by Rab guanine diphosphate dissociation inhibitor.Rab5,in particular,may mediate recruitment of early endosome antigen1-positive early endosomes to lipid droplets(50).The parallels between neutral lipid-cored lipid droplet trafficking and aqueous-cored vesicle trafficking have been discussed(3).SNARE proteins on vesicles and target mem-branes are used in fusion events between aqueous-cored vesicles and target membranes(51,52).Recent data from Bostro¨m and colleagues(53)suggest that SNARE proteins are involved in the fusion of lipid droplets with one another. These investigators found that multiple known SNARE com-plex proteins,including synaptosomal-associated23-kDa protein(SNAP23),SNAP25,syntaxin-5,N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor,␣-SNAP,and vesicle-associated membrane protein4,coprecipitated with histidine-tagged adipophilin/ ADRP.These results were confirmed for all but SNAP25 either biochemically by lipid droplet fractionation or mor-phologically by immunoelectron microscopy.The siRNA-mediated knockdown of SNAP23,syntaxin-5,or vesicle-associated membrane protein4resulted in a decrease in lipid droplet fusion events and in lipid droplet size but not in reduced TAG accumulation.Noting that SNAP23is also required for fusion of glucose transporter4(GLUT4)-con-taining vesicles with each other and with the plasma mem-brane in insulin-responsive cells,Bostro¨m and colleagues (53)investigated the relationship between lipid droplet-associated SNAP23and insulin-stimulated glucose transport in HL-1cells,a cardiomyocyte cell line.They found that oleate loading of these cells led to movement of SNAP23from the plasma membrane to intracellular sites,including lipid droplets.The oleate-induced reduction in plasma membrane SNAP23was associated with reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and plasma membrane-bound GLUT4,ef-fects that were prevented by concomitant expression of a SNAP23-cyan fluorescent protein fusion protein.These re-sults suggest a novel mechanism to explain the association of ectopic lipid accumulation with peripheral insulin resistance, at least in myocytes:competition between two cellular traf-ficking processes,lipid droplet fusion,and GLUT4vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane,for a limiting amount of a SNARE protein,a competition that lipid droplets appear to win.Ducharme and Bickel•Minireview Endocrinology,March2008,149(3):942–949945Lipid droplet fusion requires elements of the cytoskeleton in addition to SNARE proteins.Depolymerization of micro-tubules with nocodazole inhibits lipid droplet fusion(54).In flies,movement of lipid droplets along microtubules re-quires dynein,a microtubule minus end motor(55),which has been shown to co-immunoprecipitate with adipophilin/ ADRP(54).Phosphorylation of dynein by ERK2enhances the association of dynein with lipid droplets(56).Inhibition of dynein either chemically with vanadate(54)or by neutral-izing antibody(56)decreases lipid droplet formation.Taken together,these results suggest that lipid droplets move along microtubules in a dynein-dependent manner.The recent data summarized in this section suggest that lipid-cored droplets use cellular machinery similar to that used by aqueous-cored vesicles to move to targeted cellular locations and to fuse with each other.Future work will ex-ploit these similarities to provide additional insights into lipid droplet biology based upon the extensive literature that cell biologists have generated in the field of vesicle and protein trafficking.Fat Mobilization from Lipid DropletsDuring times of nutrient scarcity,TAG stored within lipid droplets is catabolized into free fatty acids and glycerol in a process known as lipolysis.The glycerol and free fatty acids liberated from adipocyte lipid droplets enter the circulation. Glycerol and fatty acids are substrates for gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis,respectively,in the liver.Skeletal muscle and the heart use fatty acids for energy provision via mito-chondrial-oxidation and the generation of ATP.Although adipocyte lipolysis has been the primary focus of research effort,all tissues and cell types must be able to release free fatty acids from the TAG stored in lipid droplets.Lipolysis has been the subject of several excellent reviews(57–60).In the best-characterized lipolytic pathway,catecholamine binding to-adrenergic G protein-coupled receptors on the plasma membrane generates a signaling cascade that acti-vates cAMP-dependent PKA.The anabolic hormone insulin inhibits lipolysis by stimulating a phosphodiesterase that breaks down cAMP.PKA activation ultimately leads to the hydrolysis of a fatty acids from TAG to yield DAG,from DAG to yield monoacylglycerol,and finally from monoacyl-glycerol to yield the glycerol backbone.The molecular events of this process have been under investigation for the past four decades.Over the years,a model of lipolysis has been developed and widely accepted in which activation of PKA leads to phosphorylation of a cellular lipase known as hormone-sen-sitive lipase(HSL).In support of this model,lipolytic acti-vation of cultured adipocytes is associated with movement of HSL from the cytosol to the surface of lipid droplets,where it acts on the neutral lipids within(61).Perilipin has emerged as a critical organizing component of these changes,and serine phosphorylation of perilipin on one or more of six PKA consensus sites is a key mediator of this organization. Mutational analyses of the consensus PKA sites of perilipin have implicated one or more of these sites in HSL docking to lipid droplets and in maximal lipolysis,as recently re-viewed(1).During hormone-stimulated lipolysis in adi-pocytes,major rearrangements take place in the morphol-ogy of lipid droplets and in the distribution of lipid droplet-associated proteins.Activation of PKA over sev-eral hours results in fragmentation of lipid droplets,which greatly increases the surface area of droplets available for lipase action.This fragmentation is dependent upon phos-phorylation of perilipin at serine492(62).The model of HSL activation as the rate-limiting step in lipolysis of triacylglycerol was brought into question when three groups independently knocked out HSL in mice and surprisingly observed that the mice were not obese(63–65). Rather than accumulating TAG in tissues,HSL knockout mice accumulate DAG(65).These results led to the search for additional lipases responsible for TAG hydrolysis.In2004,a novel TAG lipase was reported by three groups and given three different names:desnutrin(66),adipocyte triglyceride lipase(ATGL)(67),and phospholipase A2(68).Following publication of these initial reports,ATGL has been inten-sively studied in mouse models and in humans,and its critical role in cellular lipid metabolism established,although its precise role is still being worked out.ATGL knockout mice have increased fat pad size and accumulate excess TAG in most tissues(69).These mice accumulate so much TAG in the heart that they die of congestive heart failure.Like HSL knockout mice,ATGL knockout mice demonstrate dimin-ished mobilization of free fatty acids from adipose stores in response to catecholamines.It has been proposed that in the mouse,ATGL and HSL act coordinately such that ATGL is the primary lipase responsible for hydrolyzing the first fatty acid from TAG and that HSL is the primary DAG lipase(57). Whether this model applies to lipolysis in humans has been questioned(70).A competing model has been proposed ac-cording to which HSL is the primary TAG lipase responsible for catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis from adipocytes and ATGL is the primary TAG lipase for basal lipolysis(59). Regardless of which model may be correct,the importance of ATGL in human cellular lipid metabolism has been es-tablished by the identification of mutations in the human ATGL gene that are associated with a neutral lipid storage disease in which excess TAG accumulates in tissues such as muscle and leukocytes(71,72).In contrast to HSL,ATGL appears to reside on the lipid droplet surface independent of PKA activation(67).Rather than its activation being controlled by phosphorylation and translocation,ATGL is activated at least20-fold by interac-tion with CGI-58,a member of an esterase/lipase family of proteins(73).Comparative Gene Identification-58(CGI-58)is also known as␣/-hydrolase domain-containing protein5 (Abhd5).CGI-58lacks lipase activity itself but activates the lipase activity of ATGL likely via protein-protein interaction. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies support a model in which CGI-58binds to perilipin in adipocytes under basal conditions but releases from perilipin upon lipolytic stimulation(74).The gene for CGI-58is mutated in humans with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome(CDS)(75),which is char-acterized by accumulation of TAG in tissues.Individuals with this syndrome phenotypically resemble those with ATGL mutations,except for the prominence in CDS of a skin condition known as ichthyosis.Notably,mutant CDS pro-teins do not activate ATGL activity(73).946Endocrinology,March2008,149(3):942–949Ducharme and Bickel•Minireview。

glp-1脂肪酸侧链合成方法GLP-1(胰高血糖素样肽-1)是一类重要的生物活性肽,能够模拟人体内天然GLP-1的作用,对糖尿病等代谢性疾病有治疗作用。
在GLP-1的药物设计中,为了增强其稳定性和半衰期,常常会对GLP-1进行修饰,其中脂肪酸侧链修饰是常用的方法之一。
脂肪酸侧链的合成通常涉及到将脂肪酸与GLP-1的主链通过化学键连接起来。
合成方法可以分为生物合成法和化学合成法。
在生物合成法中,首先通过生物工程方法生产出GLP-1的前体或活性肽,然后利用特定的酶作用将脂肪酸侧链引入到GLP-1的主链上。
例如,可以通过改造GLP-1的合成途径,使得在合成过程中自然引入脂肪酸侧链。
化学合成法则是通过化学反应将脂肪酸侧链与GLP-1的主链连接。
例如,使用化学耦合技术,如肽键形成反应,将脂肪酸的羧基与GLP-1主链上的氨基酸残基的氨基反应,形成酰胺键。
在这个过程中,可以使用不同的脂肪酸,通过改变脂肪酸的链长和结构,来调节GLP-1类似物的生物活性。
特别地,对于某些GLP-1类似物,如索马鲁肽(Sema glutide),其脂肪酸侧链的合成更为复杂。
索马鲁肽的侧链是一个特定的脂肪酸衍生物,其结构中包含了多个氧原子,这些氧原子是通过特定的合成路径引入的,以保证脂肪酸侧链与GLP-1主链的稳定结合。
在实际应用中,为了获得更好的药代动力学特性和降低副作用,研究人员还在不断探索新的合成方法,比如使用P EG化、Fc片段融合等技术来进一步改进GLP-1类似物的性质。
总的来说,GLP-1脂肪酸侧链的合成是一个复杂的过程,需要精细的化学操作和生物工程技术。
这些合成方法的发展不仅提高了GLP-1类似物的治疗效果,也为糖尿病等代谢性疾病的治疗带来了新的可能性。
脂肽类生物表面活性剂研究进展沈玉江(大庆华理能源生物技术有限公司,大庆163000)摘要:脂肽是由微生物代谢产生的一类具有很强表面活性的生物表面活性剂,在医药、食品、化妆品和微生物采油等方面有良好的应用潜力。
本文对脂肽的筛选、评价、提取、应用及展望等方面进行了综述。
关键词:微生物代谢产物脂肽生物表面活性剂中图分类号:TQ016 文献标识码:A 文章编号:Progress of Lipopeptide BiosurfactantsAbstract: The lipopeptide typically synthesized by microorganisms which is an important kind of biosurfactants,and it has a great potential in pharmaceutics,foods,cosmetic,oil recovery and many other fields.This paper reviews lipopeptide-producing,isolation and identification of the lipopeptide and its applications.Key words:Miroorganism Metabolite Lipopeptde Biosurfactant生物表面活性剂可分为6大类:糖脂类、脂肽/脂蛋白类、磷脂类、脂多糖-蛋白复合物、脂肪酸和中性脂。
脂肽类生物表面活性剂是微生物代谢产生的一类重要化合物,具有化学合成品很难具有的独特的两亲性分子结构,由亲水的肽链和亲油的脂肪烃链两部分组成。
脂肽类生物表面活性剂不仅具有高效、低毒、无污染等优点,而且可以生物降解为无害产物,由于其特殊的化学组成和两亲型分子结构,脂肽类生物表面活性剂在医药、食品、化妆品及微生物采油等领域有重要的应用前景,已成为研究开发的热点。
1脂肽生物表面活性剂产生菌的筛选及评价1.1筛选脂肽产生菌的培养主要用富集培养法。
从油田的油土样和油水样中,经富集培养,血平板和油平板分离,液滴坍塌法、排油法和表面张力等法进一步复筛,再经过薄层层析(TLC)和红外光谱分析(FT-IR)鉴定,得到目的菌。
过去的筛选方法大都采用Mulligan等[1]发展的基于表面活性剂溶解血红细胞的特点进行菌株的分离,菌落周围的溶血圈的大小与微生物产表面活性剂的能力有关。
但该方法有局限性[2]:(1)不是非常专一,菌落周围的透明圈也可能是由于该菌产生的溶血酶造成的。
(2)以烃类为底物才能产表面活性剂的微生物不能筛选出来,因为烃类物质能与血红细胞发生反应,故该法只能用于筛选以非烃类为底物产表面活性剂的微生物。
(3)不产溶血酶的微生物也可能会由于表面活性剂在琼脂上的扩散限制而影响其筛选结果。
针对单一用血平板筛选的不足丁立孝等[3]们采用的多种方法结合法筛选到了8株细菌能够产生两类生物表面活性剂,均具有良好的表面活性,对59号菌株所产的脂肽表面活性剂进行了分离纯化,TLC和IR分析,并用氨基酸分析仪进行了氨基酸种类测定,该脂肽含有4种氨基酸,它们是Leu、Glu、Asp和V al。
刘飞等[4]通过原油富集初筛、排油圈复筛等方法,筛选得到了一株代谢产物具有表面活性的菌株RDY7-1,发酵液排油圈可达6.7 0cm且稳定。
结合菌株RDY7-1形态观察、生理生化试验和16SrDNA基因序列分析,初步鉴定该菌株为地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacilluslichenifor mis)。
通过产物的带电性检测、产物酸处理前后硅胶薄层层析实验和氨基酸分析,可以鉴定产物为阴离子型的脂肽类表面活性剂。
据报道,脂肽类表面活性剂主要是由革兰氏阳性的芽孢杆菌产生的次级代谢产物[5],可大致分为表面活性素(surfactin)、伊枯草菌素(iturin)、地衣素(1ichenysin)、多粘菌素(polymi xin)等,地衣芽孢杆菌产生的脂肽类表面活性剂多为地衣素。
1.2评价评价生物表面活性剂的表面活性可以用空气与水之间的表面张力和油∕水界面间的界面张力来表示;或者用乳化液的不稳定性(破乳能力)和亲水-亲脂值(HLB)来表示;或者用生物表面活性剂的效率——临界胶柬浓度(CMC)来表示。
表面张力(空气/水)或界面张力(油∕水)用界面张力仪能够很容易的测定。
蒸馏水的表面张力是72mN/m,加上生物表面活性剂后表面张力可以降到30mN/m。
张翠竹等[6]从大港炼油厂污水中筛选到一株地衣芽孢杆菌NK-X3,在含糖培养基中培养可产生一种脂肽类生物表面活性剂,该生物表面活性剂在pH4-12的范围内和4000 mg/L的高钙离子浓度及15%的高盐浓度下仍维持原有表面活性更为显著的特点是在120℃的高温下不失活。
该产物可将水的表面张力由76.6降至35.5 mN/m。
其乳化活性值为 1.50,临界胶束浓度(CMC值)为30.0mg/L。
对高含胶质沥青质油的降粘率高达50%以上,增溶与脱附作用显著。
可使油水互溶而形成水包油型乳化小滴。
可使高含蜡油有效地乳化分散。
2脂肽生物表面活性剂的提取目前,生物表面活性剂工业规模的应用与合成的表面活性剂相比并不具有优势,主要是由于生物表面活性剂的生产费用较高,而产物的提取或称下游的处理费用占生产费的大部分[7]。
而且生物表面活性剂在发酵液中的低浓度和两亲性常妨碍其有效分离。
但随着研究的不断深入,传统方法的不断完善,新的方法也不断出现。
2.1萃取溶剂萃取是一种常用的提取方法,被许多研究者所采用。
常用的有机溶剂有甲醇、乙醇、戊烷、丙酮、氯仿、二氯甲烷,这些溶剂既可以单独使用,也可以混合使用。
氯仿和甲醇以不同比例的混合溶液是一种比较有效的萃取液,它可以使萃取剂的极性与目标提取物的极性相协调。
Mata-Sandoval等[8]在对铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas aeruginos UG2)产生的鼠李糖脂(rhamnolipid)生物表面活性剂的提取过程中采用了氯仿-甲醇(2:1)的萃取剂。
取得了很好的效果,但对于大规模的生产来说,需要大量的氯仿做溶剂,这在经济上是不合理的,而且,氯仿是一种高毒性的有机氯化物,对人体和环境都有害,因此,寻找一种既便宜又低毒性的生物表面活性剂萃取剂是十分必要的。
Marias Kuyuklna等[9]对生物表面活性剂的萃取剂进行了研究,他们用甲基叔丁基醚萃取Rhodococcus产生的生物表面活性剂,通过和其它常用的溶剂相比较,认为用甲基叔丁基醚做萃取剂可以取得较高的产品产率(10g/L),高效率(临界胶束浓度为130~170 mg/L),同时产品具有良好的表面活性(表面张力和界面张力分别为29和0.9 mN/m),甲基叔丁基醚具有低毒、可生物降解、易回收、不易燃及不易爆炸等优良特性。
因此,对于大规模的生物表面活性剂生产也是良好的萃取剂。
[10]2.2超滤超滤是用于从发酵液中提取生物表面活性剂的一种新方法,它是在压力的作用下让不易过滤的样品通过膜。
这种方法速度快、回收率高,在国外应用较为广泛[11,12,13]。
Sung-chyr Lin等[14]用分子量截止值(MWCO)为30,000Da的超滤膜对Bacillus licheniformis的变异体产生的生物表面活性剂进行了提取分析,同时还使超滤和高效液相色谱相结合,设计了一套对生物表面活性剂的提取、分析方法,由于生物表面活性剂在临界胶束浓度(CMC)以上时形成微胶束,使得超滤膜截取的分子量比生物表面活性剂的分子量大两个数量级,而向培养液中加入一定量的甲醇,胶束就会分散,生物表面活性剂就会通过滤膜,这样让原培养液、超滤滤液及在培养液中加入甲醇后的超滤滤液分别通过高效色相色谱,得到3张色谱图,在原培养液色谱图中出现的峰,如在滤液的色谱中消失,而在加入甲醇的滤液的色谱图中又出现。
则可证明这个峰是生物表面活性剂的峰。
而那些只在培养液的色谱图中山现的峰就不是生物表面活性剂的峰,这种方法可以排除生物大分子(如高蛋白质等)的干扰,因为生物大分子在甲醇的作用下不会裂解。
2.3泡沫分离微生物的发酵过程中都会产生泡沫现象,产生表面活性物质的过程中尤其显著。
泡沫是由于快速搅动及向好氧微生物培养液中充氧而产生的,在表面活性物质存在的情况下稳定下来。
泡沫会使产品、营养成分及细胞流失。
为了抑制泡沫的产生就必须加入一些化学抑泡剂,这不仅增加了费用、减弱氧的传递,而且还会对微生物产生负面影响,但如果利用这些泡洙来回收表面活性物质,可能是一种既经济又合理的方法。
Davis 等[15]对这方面进行了研究。
他们用泡沫分离法对一类生物表面活性剂Surfactins进行了提取和浓缩,证明了泡沫分离是一种有效的生物表面活性剂分离方法,而且使泡沫分离和发酵过程相结合,建立了连续的生产过程。
3应用生物表面活性剂结构的多样性决定了它的功能的多样性。
生物表面活性剂的应用价值业已得到了广泛的研究,生物表面活性剂在许多工业领域中有着广泛的应用,它们可应用于石油采收业、环境治理、农业、医药、纺织、食品和化妆品等众多工业领域[16,17]。
3.1微生物采油自从Fleming发现微生物产生青霉素以来,微生物成为生物活性物质的一个重要来源,为天然合成化学品提供了丰富资源。
生物表面活性剂是微生物在一定条件下培养时,在其代谢过程中分泌出来的具有一定表面活性的代谢产物,如糖脂、多糖蛋白脂、脂肽、磷脂和脂肪酸中性类脂衍生物等[18]。
在油田开采中,经一次开采后,仍有大约70%的原油滞留在储油层中[19]。
强化采油可使采油率提高到80%-85%。
用生物表面活性剂驱油,不会对环境造成污染[20]。
由地衣芽孢杆菌NK-X3产生一种脂肽类生物表面活性剂,在pH为4~12和钙离子质量浓度为4000mg/L的条件下,于120℃高温下不失活,这些特点有利于该产品在原油的增采和输送中使用[7,21]。
王大威等[22]从大庆油田分离到的一株枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)ZW-3代谢的脂肽生物表面活性剂的理化性质(CMC 值、乳化活性、对温度、矿化度的稳定性、降低油水界面张力能力)进行了测定,同时进行了物理模拟实验。
结果表明,该脂肽表面活性剂具有优良的乳化和降低油水界面张力的能力,并可以适应油藏中复杂的环境,可提高采收率9.2%。
生物表面活性剂可促进原油从矿石、含有页岩断层的表面解吸附。
解吸附的范围和大分子量烃的浓度相反。
而且表面活性剂复合物还能够促进原油降解[23,24]。
微生物在油井内利用烃为碳源生长繁殖,能够产生表面活性剂、产酸、产气、产多聚物,从而促进原油从地底采初。
表面活性剂对长链烃的降解更显著,栳鲛烷和植烷类异戊二烯的降解程度和C17、C 18烃的降解一样。
