TL;DR: It is shown that mitigation of ER stress with a chemical chaperone results in marked protection against lipotoxic death in macrophages and prevents macrophage fatty acid–binding protein-4 (aP2) expression and that ER responses can be modified, genetically or chemically, to protect the organism against the deleterious effects of hyperlipidemia.
Abstract: Macrophages show endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress when exposed to lipotoxic signals associated with atherosclerosis, although the pathophysiological importance and the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unknown. Here we show that mitigation of ER stress with a chemical chaperone results in marked protection against lipotoxic death in macrophages and prevents macrophage fatty acid-binding protein-4 (aP2) expression. Using genetic and chemical models, we show that aP2 is the predominant regulator of lipid-induced macrophage ER stress. The absence of lipid chaperones incites an increase in the production of phospholipids rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and bioactive lipids that render macrophages resistant to lipid-induced ER stress. Furthermore, the impact of aP2 on macrophage lipid metabolism and the ER stress response is mediated by upregulation of key lipogenic enzymes by the liver X receptor. Our results demonstrate the central role for lipid chaperones in regulating ER homeostasis in macrophages in atherosclerosis and show that ER responses can be modified, genetically or chemically, to protect the organism against the deleterious effects of hyperlipidemia.

TL;DR: Findings provide a mechanistic explanation for the recent evidence that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor isoform gamma activation is a negative regulator of bone mass and suggest that the increased production of oxidized fatty acids with age may indeed be an important mechanism for age-related osteoporosis in humans.
Abstract: Because osteoblasts and marrow adipocytes are derived from a common mesenchymal progenitor, increased adipogenesis may occur at the expense of osteoblasts, leading to bone loss. Our previous in vitro studies indicated that activation of the proadipogenic transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor isoform γ 2 with rosiglitazone suppressed osteoblast differentiation. Here, we show that 5-month-old Swiss-Webster mice receiving rosiglitazone for 28 d exhibited bone loss associated with an increase in marrow adipocytes, a decrease in the ratio of osteoblasts to osteoclasts, a reduction in bone formation rate, and a reduction in wall width—an index of the amount of bone formed by each team of osteoblasts. Rosiglitazone had no effect on the number of early osteoblast or osteoclast progenitors, or on osteoblast life span, but decreased the expression of the key osteoblastogenic transcription factors Runx2 and Osterix in cultures of marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitors. These effects were as...
