Summary:
Consuming oils with high polyunsaturated fatty acid
content, in particular those containing omega-3s, is beneficial for the health.
But the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poorly known. Researchers
have investigated the effect of lipids bearing polyunsaturated chains when they
are integrated into cell membranes. Their work shows that the presence of these
lipids makes the membranes more malleable and therefore more sensitive to
deformation and fission by proteins.

Consuming oils with high polyunsaturated fatty acid content,
in particular those containing omega-3s, is beneficial for the health. But the
mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poorly known. Researchers at the
Institut de Pharmacologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire (CNRS/Université Nice
Sophia Antipolis), the Unité Compartimentation et Dynamique Cellulaires
(CNRS/Institut Curie/UPMC), the INSERM and the Université de Poitiers
investigated the effect of lipids bearing polyunsaturated chains when they are integrated
into cell membranes. Their work shows that the presence of these lipids makes
the membranes more malleable and therefore more sensitive to deformation and
fission by proteins. These results, published on August 8, 2014 in Science, could help explain the
extraordinary efficacy of endocytosis in neuron cells.
Consuming
polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as omega-3 fatty acids) is good for the
health. The effects range from neuronal differentiation to protection against
cerebral ischemia. However the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects
are poorly understood, prompting researchers to focus on the role of these
fatty acids in cell membrane function.
For a cell
to function properly, the membrane must be able to deform and divide into small
vesicles. This phenomenon is called endocytosis. Generally, these vesicles
allow the cells to encapsulate molecules and transport them.. In neurons, these
synaptic vesicles will act as a transmission pathway to the synapse for nerve
messages. They are formed inside the cell, then they move to its exterior and
fuse with its membrane, to transmit the neurotransmitters that they contain.
Then they reform in less than a tenth of a second: this is synaptic recycling.
In the work
published in Science, the researchers show that cell- or artificial membranes
rich in polyunsaturated lipids are much more sensitive to the action of two
proteins, dynamin and endophilin, which facilitate membrane deformation and
fission. Other measurements in the study and in simulations suggest that these
lipids also make the membranes more malleable. By facilitating the deformation
and scission necessary for endocytosis, the presence of polyunsaturated lipids
could explain rapid synaptic vesicle recycling.. The abundance of these lipids
in the brain could then represent a major advantage for cognitive function.
This work
partially sheds light on the mode of action of omega-3. Considering that the
body cannot synthesize them and that they can only be supplied by a suitable
diet (rich in oily fish, etc.), it seems important to continue this work to
understand the link between the functions performed by these lipids in the
neuronal membrane and their health benefits.
