Lipid chaperones and associated diseases: a group of chaperonopathies defining a new nosological entity with implications for medical research and practice

Abstract: Fatty acid–binding proteins (FABPs) are lipid chaperones assisting in the trafficking of long-chain fatty acids with functions in various cell compartments, including oxidation, signaling, gene-transcription regulation, and storage. The various known FABP isoforms display distinctive tissue distribution, but some are active in more than one tissue. Quantitative and/or qualitative changes of FABPs are associated with pathological conditions. Increased circulating levels of FABPs are biomarkers of disorders such… Show more

“…H-FABP is a sensitive biomarker for cardiovascular risk factors [ 32 ]. FABP-Adipocytes (FABPA) is overexpressed with obesity as well as correlated with blood pressure and dyslipidemia [ 33 ]. The post hoc analysis adjusted for confounders including body composition and physical inactivity reduced the significance of leptin and FABPA, supporting a role for obesity in frailty progression.…”

“…The highest concentration of that protein in the AD patients and correlation with Tau and pTau181 in MCI subjects and Tau in AD patients may suggest the association with the neurodegeneration process. The fact that FABP3 in the brain may also regulate the neuronal membrane’s lipid composition could affect synaptic plasticity and cholinergic activity, glutamatergic, and especially GABAergic inhibitory interneurons [ 22 , 27 , 42 , 43 ]. We suggest that FABP3 play a pivotal role in the development of cognitive decline.…”

“…Mounting evidence suggests that Fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3), heart-type (hFABP), may influence neurodegeneration and probable AD development [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. FABP3 is expressed in the heart and nervous system (e.g., cerebral neocortex and hippocampal CA1 and CA2 region), especially in dopaminergic, acetylocholinergic and glutamatergic neurones [ 25 ].…”

“…FABPs perform pleiotropic functions to maintain healthy tissue homeostasis, and participate in the pathogenesis of diseases [ 16 ]. To date, at least 10 genes encoding FABPs ( FABP1-9 and FABP12 ) have been identified in the human genome [ 17 , 18 ]. FABP5 localizes to the cytosol, mitochondria, and nucleus, suggesting a role for fatty acid metabolism and nuclear transcriptional regulation [ 19 , 20 ].…”
