Research has implicated lipid droplets (LDs) and their associated proteins in inflammation and the innate immune response. The key LD protein Perilipin 2 (PLIN2) is tightly correlated with lipid storage and inflammation, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying its proinflammatory effects. Here, we show that PLIN2 is required for the inflammatory response to mitogens and the recruitment of pro-inflammatory proteins to the surface of LDs. PLIN2 directly binds arachidonic acid and interacts with key oxylipin synthetic enzymes such as PLA2 and COX2 to promote LD-localized oxylipin synthesis and propagate inflammatory signaling. Moreover, LPS induces PLIN2 hyperacetylation, and acetylation-dead PLIN2 mutants lose their proinflammatory properties in the presence of an inflammatory stimulus, as if PLIN2 were ablated. Thus, acetylated PLIN2 forms a key metabolon on LDs that is essential for the response and amplification of proinflammatory signaling.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
