(C) SAC1 silencing increased GluA1 surface levels and abolished the effect of TOFA treatment. Surface GluA1 after TOFA treatment (20 μg/ml, 2 h) was detected in nonpermeabilized neurons by immunocytochemistry. Results are the mean ± SEM from two independent experiments performed by biological duplicates (twoway
ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's comparison test; *, P < 0.05 and **, P < 0.01). shRandom + vehicle (1.00 ± 0.09, n = 35), shRandom + TOFA (0.44 ± 0.06, n = 32), shSAC1 + vehicle (0.90 ± 0.13, n = 34), and shSAC1 + TOFA (1.48 ± 0.09, n = 20). Scale bars = 5 μm. n.s, not significant.
(F) SAC1 overexpression decreased surface levels of GluA1 and abolished the effect of TOFA treatment in cortical neurons. Neurons, transduced as explained above, were treated with TOFA at 14-15 DIV. Results are the mean ± SEM from two independent experiments performed by biological duplicates (two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's comparison test; ***, P < 0.001). EV + vehicle (1.00 ± 0.05, n = 36), shRandom + TOFA (0.27 ± 0.03, n = 36), SAC1 + vehicle (0.46 ± 0.04, n = 39), and shSAC1 + TOFA (0.36 ± 0.05, n = 36). Scale bars = 5 μm.

16/02/2021 Dnyanada: The paper presents the CPT1C-Malonyl CoA-SAC1 pathway that regulates GluA1 trafficking (Figure 10). SAC1 activity negatively regulates the exocytic insertion of GluA1. CPT1C-Malonyl CoA inhibits SAC1 activity and promotes insertion of GluA1 from the TGN to the plasma membrane. TOFA is an acetyl-CoA analogue that inhibits the malonyl-CoA formation and significantly reduces the levels of GluA1 at the PM compared with control cells. However, treatment with TOFA did not alter the effect of SAC1 on surface GluA1 levels (overexpression led to a decrease and silencing led to an increase) indicating that SAC1 is downstream of the malonyl-CoA/CPT1C axis and directly regulates exocytic insertion of GluA1.
