Remodeling of Lipid Droplets during Lipolysis and Growth in Adipocytes

Abstract: Background: Micro-lipid droplets (mLDs) appear in adipocytes upon lipolytic stimulation. LDs may grow by spontaneous, homotypic fusion.Results: Scavenging of fatty acids prevents mLD formation. LDs grow by a slow transfer of lipids between LDs.Conclusion: mLDs form due to fatty acid overflow. LD growth is a controlled process.Significance: Novel mechanistic insights into LD remodeling are provided.

“…Time-lapse studies revealed that the formation of large LDs during adipogenesis involves LD fusion by lipid transfer characteristic of CIDE proteins [19,46]. CIDEA and CIDEC appear as the key elements controlling the formation of supersized LDs in adipocytes, as CIDEA/CIDEC double-deficient mice showed LDs of circa 0.6 m, which could represent the diameter achieved by CIDE-independent enlargement mechanisms [47].…”

“…1 Hypertrophy of mature adipose cells and recruitment of new pre-adipose cells is crucial for lipid storage. 2 If adipose tissue cannot store ingested caloric excess, insulin action and normal metabolic flexibility of energy homeostasis is impacted negatively. 3 Thus, understanding the dynamic response of adipose tissue to changes in diet has attracted attention, 4 especially in the context of the ongoing worldwide increase in obesity and resulting public health issues.…”

“…To observe lipid accumulation at the subcellular level, well-known nondestructive techniques for lipid visualization have been adapted to seeds. Third harmonic generation microscopy (Débarre et al, 2006) and label-free coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy (Paar et al, 2012) allow dyeless observation of LDs but require very specific equipment. Magnetic resonance imaging enables topographic analysis of lipid distribution in cereal grains (Neuberger et al, 2008) and in submillimeter-sized seeds like those of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum; Fuchs et al, 2013).…”
