Organellar proteomics and phospho-proteomics reveal subcellular reorganization in diet-induced hepatic steatosis
Open accessAbstract
Lipid metabolism is highly compartmentalized between cellular organelles that dynamically adapt their compositions and interactions in response to metabolic challenges. Here, we investigate how diet-induced hepatic lipid accumulation, observed in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affects protein localization, organelle organization, and protein phosphorylation in vivo. We develop a mass spectrometric workflow for protein and phosphopeptide correlation profiling to monitor levels and cellular distributions of ∼6,000 liver proteins and ∼16,000 phosphopeptides during development of steatosis. Several organelle contact site proteins are targeted to lipid droplets (LDs) in steatotic liver, tethering organelles orchestrating lipid metabolism. Proteins of the secretory pathway dramatically redistribute, including the mis-localization of the COPI complex and sequestration of the Golgi apparatus at LDs. This correlates with reduced hepatic protein secretion. Our systematic in vivo analysis of subcellular rearrangements and organelle-specific phosphorylation reveals how nutrient overload leads to organellar reorganization and cellular dysfunction.

APOE was identified in subsequent studies of the lipid droplet proteome in mouse liver and THP-1 macrophages.
“APOE was identified in subsequent studies of the LD proteome in mouse liver and THP-1 macrophages (Krahmer et al., 2018; Mejhert et al., 2020).”
From APOE traffics to astrocyte lipid droplets and modulates triglyceride saturation and droplet size (2024) · cites this paper as Krahmer et al., 2018
The Results and Discussion (pages unavailable) describe a mouse-liver lipid-droplet proteome, supporting the identification of Krahmer et al. as a study of that proteome. The Results also report increased levels of several apolipoproteins, but the copy does not name APOE or identify it as a lipid-droplet protein. The THP-1 macrophage portion appears to be attributed to the other citation, not this paper. (LLM, conf=0.77)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBoth cell type and cellular environment modulate the lipid droplet proteome and lipidome.
“Importantly, both cell type and cellular environment modulate the lipid droplet proteome and lipidome3–9.”
From APOE genotypes differentially remodel the astrocytic lipid droplet proteome to shape lipid droplet dynamics (2026) · cites this paper as [8]
The Results report that lipid-droplet proteins change their localization under a high-fat diet, and the Discussion suggests that some may be tissue- or cell-type-specific. This supports modulation of the lipid-droplet proteome, but the cited passages do not establish that cell type and environment both modulate the lipid-droplet lipidome. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
