Cytoplasmic lipid droplet accumulation in developing mammary epithelial cells: roles of adipophilin and lipid metabolism.
PAT proteins (perilipin, adipophilin, and TIP47) are hypothesized to be critical regulators of lipid accumulation in eukaryotic cells. We investigated the developmental relationships between the expression of these proteins and cytoplasmic lipid droplet (CLD) accumulation in differentiating secretory epithelial cells in mouse mammary glands. Adipophilin (ADPH) specifically localized to CLD in d...

Adipophilin (ADPH), a prominent protein component of lipid storage droplets (LSDs), is postulated to be necessary for the formation and cellular function of these structures. The presence of significant sequence similarities within an approximately 100 amino acid region of the N-terminal portions of ADPH and related LSD binding proteins, perilipin and TIP47, has implicated this region, known as...
متن کاملAdipophilin regulates maturation of cytoplasmic lipid droplets and alveolae in differentiating mammary glands.
Milk lipids originate by secretion of triglyceride-rich cytoplasmic lipid droplets (CLDs) from mammary epithelial cells. Adipophilin (ADPH)/Plin2, a member of the perilipin family of CLD binding proteins, is hypothesized to regulate CLD production in these cells during differentiation of the mammary gland into a secretory organ. We tested this hypothesis by comparing CLD accumulation in differe...
متن کاملRegulation of Lipid Droplet Size in Mammary Epithelial Cells by Remodeling of Membrane Lipid Composition—A Potential Mechanism
Milk fat globule size is determined by the size of its precursors-intracellular lipid droplets-and is tightly associated with its composition. We examined the relationship between phospholipid composition of mammary epithelial cells and the size of both intracellular and secreted milk fat globules. Primary culture of mammary epithelial cells was cultured in medium without free fatty acids (cont...
متن کاملCytoplasmic activated protein kinase Akt regulates lipid-droplet accumulation in Drosophila nurse cells.
The insulin/insulin-like growth factor signalling (IIS) cascade performs a broad range of evolutionarily conserved functions, including the regulation of growth, developmental timing and lifespan, and the control of sugar, protein and lipid metabolism. Recently, these functions have been genetically dissected in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, revealing a crucial role for cell-surface ac...
