RESUMO

Recent evidence has linked the lysosomal cholesterol accumulation in Niemann-Pick type C1 with anomalies associated with primary ciliogenesis. Here, we report that perturbed intracellular cholesterol distribution imposed by lysosomal cholesterol accumulation during TMEM135 depletion is closely associated with impaired ciliogenesis. TMEM135 depletion does not affect the formation of the basal body and the ciliary transition zone. TMEM135 depletion severely blunts Rab8 trafficking to the centrioles without affecting the centriolar localization of Rab11 and Rabin8, the upstream regulators of Rab8 activation. Although TMEM135 depletion prevents enhanced IFT20 localization at the centrioles, ciliary vesicle formation is not affected. Furthermore, enhanced IFT20 localization at the centrioles is dependent on Rab8 activation. Supplementation of cholesterol in complex with cyclodextrin rescues Rab8 trafficking to the centrioles and Rab8 activation, thereby recovering primary ciliogenesis in TMEM135-depleted cells. Taken together, our data suggest that TMEM135 depletion prevents ciliary vesicle elongation, a characteristic of impaired Rab8 function. Our study thus reveals a previously uncharacterized effect of erroneous intracellular cholesterol distribution on impairing Rab8 function and primary ciliogenesis.

RESUMO

Zebrafish have become a popular animal model for studying various biological processes and human diseases. The metabolic pathways and players conserved among zebrafish and mammals facilitate the use of zebrafish to understand the pathological mechanisms underlying various metabolic disorders in humans. Adipocytes play an important role in metabolic homeostasis, and zebrafish adipocytes have been characterized. However, a versatile and reliable zebrafish model for long-term monitoring of adipose tissues has not been reported. In this study, we generated stable transgenic zebrafish expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in adipocytes. The transgenic zebrafish harbored adipose tissues that could be detected using GFP fluorescence and the morphology of single adipocyte could be investigated in vivo. In addition, we demonstrated the applicability of this model to the long-term in vivo imaging of adipose tissue development and regulation based on nutrition. The transgenic zebrafish established in this study may serve as an excellent tool to advance the characterization of white adipose tissue in zebrafish, thereby aiding the development of therapeutic interventions to treat metabolic diseases in humans.
