Investigated the role of RUBCN in lipid metabolism using isolated RUBCN-deficient proximal tubular epithelial cells. The study examined phospholipid mobilization from cellular membranes to lysosomes via enhanced autophagy. Treatment with oleic acid accelerated fatty acid transfer to mitochondria in KO PTECs. The research demonstrated that RUBCN deficiency promotes mobilization of phospholipids through the autophagy-lysosome pathway, leading to altered cellular lipid metabolism and enhanced fatty acid efflux.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
phospholipid mobilization and fatty acid metabolism
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Enhanced autophagy and altered lipid handling
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Increased phospholipid mobilization and fatty acid transfer
PROTOCOL
Cell isolation, oleic acid treatment, lipid analysis, mitochondrial fatty acid transfer assays, autophagy flux measurements
