Palmitic Acid Lipotoxicity in Microglia Cells Is Ameliorated by Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Abstract: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are associated with cognitive decline and dementia. Palmitic acid (PA) is increased in the cerebrospinal fluid of obese patients with cognitive impairment. This study was therefore designed to examine fatty acid (FA) lipotoxicity in BV2 microglia cells. We found that PA induced time- and dose-dependent decrease in cell viability and increase in cell death without affecting the cell cycle profile and that PA lipotoxicity did not depend on cell surface free fatty acid receptors but… Show more

“…Therefore, BODIPY TM FL C12 was deemed as a suitable fluorescent PA analog. BODIPY TM FL C12 uptake assay by flow cytometry was performed as described previously [ 10 ]. Briefly, N2a cells were incubated with 15 μM BODIPY TM FL C12 in serum-free media for 30 min at 37 °C.…”

“…To visualize FA uptake under confocal microscopy, the fluorescent PA analog BODIPY TM FL C12 was used and the uptake assay was performed as described previously [ 10 ]. Briefly, N2a cells were treated with BSA or 200 µM PA for 6 h, then incubated with 15 μM BODIPY TM FL C12 for 30 min, washed with PBS, and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at 4 °C.…”
