Article Abstract

Objective: Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) is part of a family of structurally and functionally related lipid transfer proteins. This study aimed to investigate the associations of LBP with the lipid composition of human adipose tissue.

Methods: Lipidomic analysis was performed in whole adipose tissue. To validate the associations found, LBP was knocked down (KD) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and lipidomic profile was evaluated by nontargeted lipidomics.

Results: LBP gene expression was negatively associated with phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and sphingomyelin relative abundance in vivo. LBP expression was also decreased in those samples with the highest docosahexanoic content, implicated in the resolution of inflammation. The KD of LBP (by ∼70%) led to sharp changes in the lipidome of adipocytes. Of note, specific plasmalogen species PE(O-16:0/22:5), PE(38:2), odd chain glycerolipids, and cholesteryl linoleate were upregulated by LBP KD. In contrast, GM3 gangliosides, several ceramides, a triacylglycerol potentially containing arachidonate, and cholesteryl palmitate were downregulated by LBP KD.

Conclusions: LBP seems to play a role in the regulation of lipid composition of adipose tissue linked to resilience to inflammation.

The MetaboHealth score is an indicator of physiological frailty in middle aged and older individuals. The aim of the current study was to explore which molecular pathways co-vary with the MetaboHealth score. Using a Luminex cytokine assay and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics we explored the plasma proteins associating with the difference in 100 extreme scoring individuals selected from two large population cohorts, the Leiden Longevity Study (LLS) and the Rotterdam Study (RS), and discordant monozygotic twin pairs from the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR).

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of low back pain (LBP), significantly affecting on global disability and healthcare costs. Traditional treatments primarily focus on symptom management rather than addressing the underlying causes, such as the decline in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and reduced extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. Cell therapy shows promise by replenishing NP cells, activating resident cells, and enhancing ECM deposition.

When a failure occurs in bearings, vibration signals are characterized by strong non-stationarity and nonlinearity. Therefore, it is difficult to sufficiently dig fault features. 1D local binary pattern (1D-LBP) has the advantageous feature to effectively extract local information of signals.

Life requires chemical chiral specificity. The emergence of enantioselectivity is unknown but has been linked to diverse scenarios for the origin of life, ranging from an extraterrestrial origin to polarization-induced effects, and magnetic field-induced mineral templating. These scenarios require an originating mechanism and a subsequent enhancement step, leading to widespread chiral specificity.
