DLPC is a medium-chain phosphatidylcholine and an agonist ligand of liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1)[1]. DLPC occupies the LRH-1 ligand-binding pocket and activates LRH-1-dependent transcriptional programs governing bile-acid synthesis, glucose and lipid metabolism, endoplasmic-reticulum stress resolution, macrophage polarization, and cellular differentiation[1,2,3,6]. DLPC is used in research on nuclear-receptor signaling, metabolic homeostasis, hepatic stress, inflammation, diabetes-associated kidney injury, and nervous-system tumor biology.
In vitro, DLPC (100μM; 24h) activated LRH-1 and increased cytochrome P450 family 8 subfamily B member 1 (CYP8B1) expression in C3A/HepG2 hepatoma cells[1]. DLPC (50μM; 4 or 24h) increased interleukin 10, transforming growth factor beta 1, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist, mannose receptor, Dectin-1, and CD36 expression in mouse peritoneal macrophages and promoted the LRH-1/cytochrome P450/15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma axis associated with alternative macrophage polarization[3]. DLPC (100μM; 24h) increased perilipin 5 (PLIN5) messenger ribonucleic acid and protein in HepG2 cells without increasing LRH-1 protein and enhanced an LRH-1-regulated program linked to hepatic triglyceride metabolism[4].
In vivo, DLPC (100mg/kg/day; oral gavage once daily for 3 weeks) reduced serum glucose and hepatic triglycerides, improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and decreased hepatic steatosis in db/db mice[1]. DLPC (100mg/kg; oral gavage every 12h for four doses, twice before and twice after a single 1mg/kg tunicamycin intraperitoneal injection) increased polo-like kinase 3 and activating transcription factor 2 signaling, reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and apoptosis, and accelerated endoplasmic-reticulum stress resolution in mice[2]. DLPC (100mg/kg; oral gavage once daily for 13 days) reduced U87-MG xenograft growth, Ki67-positive proliferating cells, phosphorylated histone H3-positive mitotic cells, Nestin, and Vimentin in non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mice without increasing cleaved caspase 3[5]. DLPC (100mg/kg; oral gavage once daily for 3 weeks) increased glomerular LRH-1 and glutaminase 2 (GLS2), enhanced glutamine-to-glutamate conversion, reduced urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, podocyte foot-process fusion, glomerular lesions, and apoptosis, and restored podocyte number in db/db mice[6].
