Overview of Gene Research
Lipe, encoding hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), is a key lipolytic enzyme. HSL is involved in adipose tissue lipolysis, which is mediated by cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent intracellular signalling [3]. Lipolysis is crucial for energy metabolism, as it releases fatty acids from triglyceride stores in adipose tissue, affecting overall lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis.
Reducing Lipe in mutant α-synuclein mice by crossing with Lipe null mice attenuated motor deficits in male Lipe+/- knockdown mice. This was associated with an improved α-synuclein T:M ratio, and dopaminergic neurotransmitter levels and fiber densities, suggesting Lipe's role in Parkinson-like diseases [1]. Also, biallelic Lipe null variants in humans result in a multisystemic disease. The disease features include lower-limb lipoatrophy, upper-body and abdominal pseudo-lipomatous masses, diabetes and/or insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, liver steatosis, high blood pressure, and neuromuscular manifestations. Lipe-mutated adipose stem cells display impaired adipocyte differentiation, decreased insulin response, defective lipolysis, and mitochondrial dysfunction [2].
In conclusion, Lipe plays a vital role in lipid metabolism, adipocyte differentiation, and insulin response. Gene-knockout mouse models have been instrumental in revealing its functions in Parkinson-like deficits and a lipodystrophic syndrome. These findings contribute to understanding the underlying mechanisms of related diseases and may provide potential therapeutic targets.
