Selective disruption of lipid peroxide homeostasis in intratumoral regulatory T cells by targeting FSP1 enhances cancer immunity

Jesse Garcia Castillo, Stephanie L. Silveria, Leo Schirokauer, Antoine Sauquet, Jessica Hung, Grace Jaworski, Joseph M. Hendricks, Hei Sook Sul, James A. Olzmann, Michel J.P. DuPage

This study shows targeting FSP1 in regulatory T cells disrupts their immunosuppression, enhancing anti-tumor immunity without causing autoimmunity.

A new LD protein, ApoL6 disrupts the Perilipin 1-HSL interaction to inhibit lipolysis

Yuhui Wang, Hai P. Nguyen, Pengya Xue, Ying Xie, Danielle Yi, Frances Lin, Jose Abraham Viscarra, Nnejiuwa U. Ibe, Robin E. Duncan, Hei Sook Sul

This study identifies ApoL6 as a lipid droplet protein that inhibits lipolysis by disrupting the Perilipin 1-HSL interaction, leading to changes in adipose tissue mass and metabolic outcomes.
