Disease relevance of ADFP

 

High impact information on ADFP

  • Therefore, we propose that milk fat globule secretion is controlled by interactions between plasma membrane butyrophilin and butyrophilin in the secretory granule phospholipid monolayer rather than binding of butyrophilin-xanthine oxidoreductase complexes to secretory granule adipophilin [5].
  • Multiple different point mutations within the coding sequence of the rhodopsin gene have been associated with ADRP [6].
  • The use of this assay to identify ADRP patients who have various rhodopsin mutations has allowed us to begin studies seeking to correlate molecular genotype with clinical phenotype [6].
  • These data provide definitive evidence for the localization of an ADRP gene on chromosome 17p [7].
  • However, mutation screening of the three exons of this gene failed to produce any evidence of recoverin being the gene involved in the pathogenesis of ADRP in this SA family [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of ADFP

 

Biological context of ADFP

 

Anatomical context of ADFP

  • Following incubation with oleic acid, ADFP null cells were able to form lipid droplets to the same extent as wt cells [14].
  • We demonstrate that ADRP mRNA and protein are regulated by fatty acids in a human placental choriocarcinoma cell line (BeWo) and in primary human trophoblasts [2].
  • Synthetic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and retinoic X receptor agonists increased ADRP mRNA level but had no effect on ADRP protein level in undifferentiated BeWo cells [2].
  • We found no role for ADFP in the lipid transfer and conclude that a lipase associated with the lipid droplets hydrolyzes their core triacylglycerols, releasing fatty acids that are taken up by the epithelial cells [15].
  • The present studies were designed to test the role of ADFP in this transfer with the use of ADFP-coated lipid droplets from CHO fibroblast cells and a cultured human lung epithelial cell line [15].
 

Associations of ADFP with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of ADFP

 

Other interactions of ADFP

  • RESULTS: ADFP expression was apparently high in cases without a symptomatic presentation, as well as in cases of low-stage, low-grade, or VHL alteration-positive clear cell RCC, whereas it was down-regulated in undifferentiated tumors with a spindle/pleomorphic component or metastatic lesions [1].
  • Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) is a lipid droplet-associated protein that has been ascribed a role in cellular fatty acid uptake and storage [2].
  • PPAR and adipophilin mRNA expression was assessed by real-time RT-PCR [20].
  • TIP47 was found primarily in the cytosolic fractions of HeLa cells and murine MA10 Leydig cells grown in low lipid-containing culture medium, while ADRP was undetectable in these fractionated cell homogenates [17].
  • Consistent with the results of the microarray, increased levels of ADFP and NNMT mRNA were found more frequently in clear-cell RCCs than in other non-clear-cell tumour subtypes using real-time quantitative PCR [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ADFP

  • In ADFP null cells, Tip47 was identified as the sole lipid droplet-associated protein from the PAT family by mass spectroscopy, which was further confirmed by immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry [14].
  • In HeLa cells grown in standard low lipid-containing culture media, immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the cells had few lipid droplets; however, TIP47 and ADRP were found on the surfaces of the small lipid droplets present [17].
  • Using a novel approach that combines DNA chip analysis of tumor samples with isolation of peptides on the surface of tumor cells, a HLA-A*0201-binding peptide derived from the adipophilin protein was identified [22].
  • To further analyze the possible use of this peptide in immunotherapies of human malignancies, we induced adipophilin-specific CTLs using peripheral blood mononuclear cells and DCs from HLA-A*0201-positive patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia and plasma cell leukemia [22].
  • Interestingly, in patients responding to the treatment, T-cell responses to antigens not used for vaccinations, such as adipophilin, telomerase, or oncofetal antigen, could be detected, indicating that epitope spreading might occur [23].
