ABHD5 suppresses cancer cell anabolism through lipolysis dependent activation of the ampk mtorc1 pathway
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021Co-Authors: Guohua Chen, James G Granneman, Guoli Zhou, Aaron Lotvola, Jian WangAbstract:ABHD5 is an essential coactivator of ATGL, the rate-limiting triglyceride (TG) lipase in many cell types. Importantly, ABHD5 also functions as a tumor suppressor, and ABHD5 mRNA expression levels correlate with patient survival for several cancers. Nevertheless, the mechanisms involved in ABHD5-dependent tumor suppression are not known. We found that overexpression of ABHD5 induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and causes growth retardation in a panel of prostate cancer cells. Transcriptomic profiling and biochemical analysis revealed that genetic or pharmacological activation of lipolysis by ABHD5 potently inhibits mTORC1 signaling, leading to a significant downregulation of protein synthesis. Mechanistically, we found that ABHD5 elevates intracellular AMP content, which activates AMPK, leading to inhibition of mTORC1. Interestingly, ABHD5-dependent suppression of mTORC1 was abrogated by pharmacological inhibition of DGAT1 or DGAT2, isoenzymes that re-esterify fatty acids in a process that consumes ATP. Collectively, this study maps out a novel molecular pathway crucial for limiting cancer cell proliferation, in which ABHD5-mediated lipolysis creates an energy-consuming futile cycle between TG hydrolysis and resynthesis, leading to inhibition of mTORC1 and cancer cell growth arrest.

Dynamic interactions of ABHD5 with PNPLA3 regulate triacylglycerol metabolism in brown adipocytes.
Nature metabolism, 2019Co-Authors: Alexander Yang, Ljiljana Mladenovic-lucas, Emilio P. Mottillo, Li Zhou, James G GrannemanAbstract:Patatin-Like Phospholipase Domain Containing 2 (PNPLA2)/Adipose Triglyceride Lipase (ATGL) and PNPLA3/Adiponutrin are close paralogs that appear to have opposite functions on triacylglycerol (TAG) mobilization and storage. PNPLA2/ATGL is a major triglyceride lipase in adipose tissue and liver, whereas a common human variant of PNPLA3, I148M, greatly increases risk of hepatosteatosis. Nonetheless, the function of PNPLA3 and the mechanism by which the I148M variant promotes TAG accumulation are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that PNPLA3 strongly interacts with α/β hydrolase domain-containing 5 (ABHD5/CGI-58), an essential co-activator of PNPLA2/ATGL. Molecular imaging experiments demonstrate that PNPLA3 effectively competes with PNPLA2/ATGL for ABHD5, and that PNPLA3 I148M is more effective in this regard. Inducible overexpression of PNPLA3 I148M greatly suppressed PNPLA2/ATGL-dependent lipolysis and triggered massive TAG accumulation in brown adipocytes, and these effects were dependent on ABHD5. The interaction of PNPLA3 and ABHD5 can be regulated by fatty acid supplementation and synthetic ABHD5 ligands, raising the possibility that this interaction might be targeted for treatment of fatty liver disease.

Dynamic interactions of ABHD5 with PNPLA3 regulate triacylglycerol metabolism in brown adipocytes
Nature Metabolism, 2019Co-Authors: Alexander Yang, Ljiljana Mladenovic-lucas, Emilio P. Mottillo, Li Zhou, James G GrannemanAbstract:Patatin-like phospholipase-domain-containing 2 (PNPLA2; also known as adipose triglyceride lipase, ATGL) and PNPLA3 (also known as adiponutrin) are encoded by close paralogues and appear to have opposite functions on triacylglycerol mobilization and storage. PNPLA2 is a major triglyceride lipase in adipose tissue and liver, whereas a common human variant of PNPLA3, I148M, greatly increases risk of hepatosteatosis. Nonetheless, the function of PNPLA3 and the mechanism by which the I148M variant promotes triacylglycerol accumulation are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that PNPLA3 strongly interacts with α/β-hydrolase-domain-containing 5 (ABHD5; also known as CGI-58), an essential co-activator of PNPLA2. Molecular imaging experiments demonstrate that PNPLA3 effectively competes with PNPLA2 for ABHD5 and that PNPLA3 I148M competes even more effectively. Inducible overexpression of PNPLA3 I148M greatly suppressed PNPLA2-dependent lipolysis and triggered massive triacylglycerol accumulation in brown adipocytes, with these effects dependent on ABHD5. The interaction of PNPLA3 and ABHD5 can be regulated by fatty acid supplementation and synthetic ABHD5 ligands, raising the possibility that this interaction might be targeted for the treatment of fatty liver disease. Here the authors demonstrate a mechanism by which PNPLA3 and its risk variant I148M contribute to intracellular lipid metabolism. PNPLA3 interacts with ABHD5 to prevent the PNPLA2–ABHD5 interaction, thereby inhibiting lipolysis in brown adipocytes and promoting lipid storage. The PNPLA3 I148M variant enhances this interaction.

Loss of ABHD5 promotes the aggressiveness of prostate cancer cells
Scientific reports, 2017Co-Authors: Guohua Chen, James G Granneman, Guoli Zhou, Siddhesh Aras, Stephanie Lucas, Izabela Podgorski, Wael Skar, Jian WangAbstract:The accumulation of neutral lipids in intracellular lipid droplets has been associated with the formation and progression of many cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). Alpha-beta Hydrolase Domain Containing 5 (ABHD5) is a key regulator of intracellular neutral lipids that has been recently identified as a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer, yet its potential role in PCa has not been investigated. Through mining publicly accessible PCa gene expression datasets, we found that ABHD5 gene expression is markedly decreased in metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC) samples. We further demonstrated that RNAi-mediated ABHD5 silencing promotes, whereas ectopic ABHD5 overexpression inhibits, the invasion and proliferation of PCa cells. Mechanistically, we found that ABHD5 knockdown induces epithelial to mesenchymal transition, increasing aerobic glycolysis by upregulating the glycolytic enzymes hexokinase 2 and phosphofrucokinase, while decreasing mitochondrial respiration by downregulating respiratory chain complexes I and III. Interestingly, knockdown of ATGL, the best-known molecular target of ABHD5, impeded the proliferation and invasion, suggesting an ATGL-independent role of ABHD5 in modulating PCa aggressiveness. Collectively, these results provide evidence that ABHD5 acts as a metabolic tumor suppressor in PCa that prevents EMT and the Warburg effect, and indicates that ABHD5 is a potential therapeutic target against mCRPC, the deadly aggressive PCa.

The ATGL lipase cooperates with ABHD5 to mobilize lipids for hepatitis C virus assembly.
PLoS pathogens, 2020Co-Authors: Gabrielle Vieyres, Isabelle Reichert, Arnaud Carpentier, Florian W. R. Vondran, Thomas PietschmannAbstract:Lipid droplets are essential cellular organelles for storage of fatty acids and triglycerides. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) translocates several of its proteins onto their surface and uses them for production of infectious progeny. We recently reported that the lipid droplet-associated α/β hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 (ABHD5/CGI-58) participates in HCV assembly by mobilizing lipid droplet-associated lipids. However, ABHD5 itself has no lipase activity and it remained unclear how ABHD5 mediates lipolysis critical for HCV assembly. Here, we identify adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) as ABHD5 effector and new host factor involved in the hepatic lipid droplet degradation as well as in HCV and lipoprotein morphogenesis. Modulation of ATGL protein expression and lipase activity controlled lipid droplet lipolysis and virus production. ABHD4 is a paralog of ABHD5 unable to activate ATGL or support HCV assembly and lipid droplet lipolysis. Grafting ABHD5 residues critical for activation of ATGL onto ABHD4 restored the interaction between lipase and co-lipase and bestowed the pro-viral and lipolytic functions onto the engineered protein. Congruently, mutation of the predicted ABHD5 protein interface to ATGL ablated ABHD5 functions in lipid droplet lipolysis and HCV assembly. Interestingly, minor alleles of ABHD5 and ATGL associated with neutral lipid storage diseases in human, are also impaired in lipid droplet lipolysis and their pro-viral functions. Collectively, these results show that ABHD5 cooperates with ATGL to mobilize triglycerides for HCV infectious virus production. Moreover, viral manipulation of lipid droplet homeostasis via the ABHD5-ATGL axis, akin to natural genetic variation in these proteins, emerges as a possible mechanism by which chronic HCV infection causes liver steatosis.

ABHD5/CGI-58, the Chanarin-Dorfman Syndrome Protein, Mobilises Lipid Stores for Hepatitis C Virus Production.
PLoS pathogens, 2016Co-Authors: Gabrielle Vieyres, Florian W. R. Vondran, Kathrin Welsch, Gisa Gerold, Juliane Gentzsch, Sina Kahl, Lars Kaderali, Thomas PietschmannAbstract:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles closely mimic human very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) to evade humoral immunity and to facilitate cell entry. However, the principles that govern HCV association with VLDL components are poorly defined. Using an siRNA screen, we identified ABHD5 (α/β hydrolase domain containing protein 5, also known as CGI-58) as a new host factor promoting both virus assembly and release. ABHD5 associated with lipid droplets and triggered their hydrolysis. Importantly, ABHD5 Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome mutants responsible for a rare lipid storage disorder in humans were mislocalised, and unable to consume lipid droplets or support HCV production. Additional ABHD5 mutagenesis revealed a novel tribasic motif that does not influence subcellular localization but determines both ABHD5 lipolytic and proviral properties. These results indicate that HCV taps into the lipid droplet triglyceride reservoir usurping ABHD5 lipase cofactor function. They also suggest that the resulting lipid flux, normally devoted to VLDL synthesis, also participates in the assembly and release of the HCV lipo-viro-particle. Altogether, our study provides the first association between the Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome protein and an infectious disease and sheds light on the hepatic manifestations of this rare genetic disorder as well as on HCV morphogenesis.

adipose selective overexpression of ABHD5 cgi 58 does not increase lipolysis or protect against diet induced obesity
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011Co-Authors: Jorge Matias Caviglia, Jenna L. Betters, Dianne-helerie Dapito, Caleb C. Lord, Sean Sullivan, Streamson C. Chua, Terry Yin, Anna Sekowski, Lawrence Shapiro, Mark J BrownAbstract:Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) catalyzes the first step of triacylglycerol hydrolysis in adipocytes. Abhydrolase domain 5 (ABHD5) increases ATGL activity by an unknown mechanism. Prior studies have suggested that the expression of ABHD5 is limiting for lipolysis in adipocytes, as addition of recombinant ABHD5 increases in vitro TAG hydrolase activity of adipocyte lysates. To test this hypothesis in vivo, we generated transgenic mice that express 6-fold higher ABHD5 in adipose tissue relative to wild-type (WT) mice. In vivo lipolysis increased to a similar extent in ABHD5 transgenic and WT mice following an overnight fast or injection of either a β-adrenergic receptor agonist or lipopolysaccharide. Similarly, basal and β-adrenergic-stimulated lipolysis was comparable in adipocytes isolated from ABHD5 transgenic and WT mice. Although ABHD5 expression was elevated in thioglycolate-elicited macrophages from ABHD5 transgenic mice, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling was comparable in macrophages isolated from ABHD5 transgenic and WT mice. Overexpression of ABHD5 did not prevent the development of obesity in mice fed a high-fat diet, as shown by comparison of body weight, body fat percentage, and adipocyte hypertrophy of ABHD5 transgenic to WT mice. The expression of ABHD5 in mouse adipose tissue is not limiting for either basal or stimulated lipolysis.

ABHD5 cgi 58 facilitates the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein b lipoproteins by mca rh7777 rat hepatoma cells
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 2009Co-Authors: Jorge Matias Caviglia, Janet D. Sparks, Nikhil Toraskar, Anita M. Brinker, Terry C. Yin, Joseph L. Dixon, Dawn L. BrasaemleAbstract:Lipolysis of stored triacylglycerols provides lipid precursors for the assembly of apolipoprotein B (apoB) lipoproteins in hepatocytes. Abhydrolase domain containing 5 (ABHD5) is expressed in liver and facilitates the lipolysis of triacylglycerols. To study the function of ABHD5 in lipoprotein secretion, we silenced the expression of ABHD5 in McA RH7777 cells using RNA interference and studied the metabolism of lipids and secretion of apoB lipoproteins. McA RH7777 cells deficient in ABHD5 secreted reduced amounts of apoB, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol esters. Detailed analysis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry data for the molecular species of secreted triacylglycerols revealed that deficiency of ABHD5 significantly reduced secretion of triacylglycerols containing oleate, even when oleate was supplied in the culture medium; the ABHD5-deficient cells partially compensated by secreting higher levels of triacylglycerols containing saturated fatty acids. In experiments tracking the metabolism of [ 14 C]oleate, silencing of ABHD5 reduced lipolysis of cellular triacylglycerols and incorporation of intermediates derived from stored lipids into secreted triacylglycerols and cholesterol esters. In contrast, the incorporation of exogenous oleate into secreted triacylglycerols and cholesterol esters was unaffected by deficiency of ABHD5. These findings suggest that ABHD5 facilitates the use of lipid intermediates derived from lipolysis of stored triacylglycerols for the assembly of lipoproteins.

A novel mutation of ABHD5 gene in a Chanarin Dorfman patient with unusual dermatological findings.
Lipids in health and disease, 2019Co-Authors: Ali Haydar Eskiocak, Sara Missaglia, Laura Moro, Murat Durdu, Daniela TavianAbstract:Chanarin Dorfman Syndrome (CDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the multisytemic accumulation of neutral lipids inside the cytoplasmic lipid droplets. This condition is caused by mutations in the abhydrolase domain containing 5 gene (ABHD5). In CDS the skin involvement is the prevalent and always observed clinical feature, consisting of a non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE). Moreover, a variable involvement of the liver and neuromuscular system can be also observed. In this report, we aimed to perform the clinical and genetic characterization of a patient affected by CDS with atypical dermatological findings, considering this rare inborn error of neutral lipid metabolism. Genomic DNA samples obtained from patient and his parents were used to perform the sequencing of the ABHD5 exons and their intron/exon boundaries. Bioinformatic analyses were performed to investigate the possible effect of the identified mutation on protein structure. Here we present the case of a 29-year-old male patient with CDS, who, for long time, has been misdiagnosed as pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP). He has a history of increasing hyperlipidemia; hepatomegaly associated with hepatosteatosis was also detected. ABHD5 molecular analysis revealed a novel missense mutation, the c.811G > A (p.G271R). Bioinformatic investigations showed that the variant has a deleterious effect on ABHD5 function, probably causing an incorrect folding of the mutant protein. These results highlihts the importance of genetic testing for ABHD5 in unresolved cases of patients presenting unusual skin lesions, that resemble PRP, associated with a history of hyperlipidemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver.

Neutral Lipid Storage Diseases as Cellular Model to Study Lipid Droplet Function.
Cells, 2019Co-Authors: Sara Missaglia, Rosalind A. Coleman, Alvaro Mordente, Daniela TavianAbstract:Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy (NLSDM) and with ichthyosis (NLSDI) are rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by mutations in the PNPLA2 and in the ABHD5/CGI58 genes, respectively. These genes encode the adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and α-β hydrolase domain 5 (ABHD5) proteins, which play key roles in the function of lipid droplets (LDs). LDs, the main cellular storage sites of triacylglycerols and sterol esters, are highly dynamic organelles. Indeed, LDs are critical for both lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Partial or total PNPLA2 or ABHD5/CGI58 knockdown is characteristic of the cells of NLSD patients; thus, these cells are natural models with which one can unravel LD function. In this review we firstly summarize genetic and clinical data collected from NLSD patients, focusing particularly on muscle, skin, heart, and liver damage due to impaired LD function. Then, we discuss how NLSD cells were used to investigate and expand the current structural and functional knowledge of LDs.

Early onset of Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome with severe liver involvement in a patient with a complex rearrangement of ABHD5 promoter.
BMC medical genetics, 2014Co-Authors: Sara Missaglia, Eugênia Ribeiro Valadares, Laura Moro, Eleonora Druve Tavares Faguntes, Raquel Quintão Roque, Bruno Giardina, Daniela TavianAbstract:Background α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 (ABHD5) plays an important role in the triacylglycerols (TAG) hydrolysis. Indeed, ABHD5 is the co-activator of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), that catalyses the initial step of TAG hydrolysis. Mutations in ABHD5 gene are associated with the onset of Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS), a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder, characterized by non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE), hepatomegaly and liver steatosis.

Severe steatohepatitis in a patient with a rare neutral lipid storage disorder due to ABDH5 mutation
Journal of hepatology, 2008Co-Authors: Anna Ronchetti, Daniela Tavian, Daniele Prati, Roberto Colombo, Maria Grazia Pezzotta, Francesco Callea, Agostino ColliAbstract:Fatty liver disease is mainly caused by alcohol consumption, excessive body weight, dyslipidemia and impaired glucose tolerance, but inherited disorders can sometimes be involved. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with steatohepatitis and severe portal hypertension, associated with ichthyosis, cataract and hypoacusia. The clinical, pathological and genetic findings were consistent with a diagnosis of Chanarin–Dorfman syndrome (CDS), a rare autosomal recessive inherited neutral lipid storage disorder, and genetic analysis showed that a novel ABHD5 mutation is responsible.
