LID - 10.3390/cells11243988 [doi] LID - 3988 AB - The roles of lamin A/C in adipocyte differentiation and skeletal muscle lipid metabolism are associated with familial partial lipodystrophy of Dunnigan (FPLD). We confirmed that LMNA knockdown (KD) in mouse adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) prevented adipocyte maturation. Importantly, in in vitro experiments, we discovered a significant increase in phosphorylated lamin A/C levels at serine 22 or 392 sites (pLamin A/C-S22/392) accompanying increased lipid synthesis in a liver cell line (7701 cells) and two hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines (HepG2 and MHCC97-H cells). Moreover, HCC cells did not survive after LMNA knockout (KO) or even KD. Evidently, the functions of lamin A/C differ between the liver and adipose tissue. To date, the mechanism of hepatocyte lipid metabolism mediated by nuclear lamin A/C remains unclear. Our in-depth study aimed to identify the molecular connection between lamin A/C and pLamin A/C, hepatic lipid metabolism and liver cancer. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed to investigate functional changes and the related molecular pathways in 7701 cells. Adenosine 5' monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKalpha) was activated when abnormalities in functional lamin A/C were observed following lamin A/C depletion or farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI) treatment. Active AMPKalpha directly phosphorylated acetyl-CoA-carboxylase 1 (ACC1) and subsequently inhibited lipid synthesis but induced glycolysis in both HCC cells and normal cells. According to the mass spectrometry analysis, lamin A/C potentially regulated AMPKalpha activation through its chaperone proteins, ATPase or ADP/ATP transporter 2. Lonafarnib (an FTI) combined with low-glucose conditions significantly decreased the proliferation of the two HCC cell lines more efficiently than lonafarnib alone by inhibiting glycolysis or the maturation of prelamin A.
