Molecular Interactions and the Physiology of Fatty Acids

Our research focuses on how fatty acids (FA) interact with proteins, membranes, and cells of the immune system. What makes our work particularly exciting is that we are able to use our findings about the nature of molecular interactions at the atomic scale to address directly important questions about human disease.

Interaction of FA with FABPs

All of the areas that we study have benefited greatly from our development of a fluorescent probe that allows one to determine the concentration of FA in aqueous solution (FFA). This probe consists of a recombinant fatty acid binding protein (FABP) derivatized with the fluorescent reagent, acrylodan which is called ADIFAB. We are using ADIFAB to determine how FA bind to FABP by measuring the thermodynamics and kinetics of FA binding to a variety of native and site specific mutated FABPs [1-2]. We then attempt to explain these results in the framework of the known atomic structures for the FABPs with the help of molecular modeling methods.

Transmembrane Transport of FA

Fatty acids get across a cell membrane either by rapid flip-flop of FA through the lipid phase of the cell membrane or are facilitated by a membrane protein, which method fatty acids use is unknown. In our studies we have been using ADIFAB trapped inside of lipid vesicles or cells. This allows one, for the first time, to measure actual transport from the outside to inside aqueous phase and to do so under physiologic conditions. Our results indicate that FA can cross pure lipid membranes spontaneously, but it is not clear if this is fast enough for cells. It may be that a transport protein is required in cells, but apparently not in human red cells [3,4]. To determine the mechanism of transport in cells for which FA transport is important we have developed a method that allows FFA levels inside of cells to be imaged by ratio microscopy. This method is currently being used to investigate transport in fat and muscle cells.

The Role of FA in the Immune System

We have found that short-term exposure of cytotoxic-T-lymphocytes (CTL) to FA disrupts the CTL's signaling pathways, and ultimately prevents them from killing tumor cells [5]. What makes this a potentially important physiologic phenomenon is that tumor cells, but generally not normal cells, secrete large quantities of FA and this level of secretion is increased more than 10-fold when a CTL attacks a tumor cell [6]. This tumor cell release of FA may play a significant role in suppression of CTL-killing [5]. FA inhibition of CTL-mediated killing can be reversed once the FFA level is reduced. We are therefore investigating whether FFA levels are elevated in human tumors and, in animal models, whether appropriate therapies can reduce tumor FFA levels and thereby promote normal CTL activity.

Serum FFA levels may provide a sensitive and early indicator of human disease

A number of diseases including diabetes, cancer, sepsis, and ischemia can result in increased levels of serum FFA. Routine measurements of serum FFA have not been done because they are insensitive, time consuming, and expensive. With the development of ADIFAB it has become possible to measure serum FFA levels in seconds, using less than 0.03 ml of sample. Results from serum taken before and after patients received balloon angioplasty to treat coronary artery disease indicates that the acute ischemic insult resulting from balloon occlusion of the artery generates very large (>10-fold normal) increases in serum FFA [7,8]. The results of this study suggest that measurements of FFA using ADIFAB may provide an early indicator of ischemic disease and clinical studies are now in progress to test this possibility.
