Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection entitled “Research Advances in Cellular Metabolism” will collect high-quality research articles, communications, and review articles in cutting-edge fields of cellular metabolism. Since this Topical Collection aims to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in cellular metabolism, we encourage Editorial Board Members of the Cellular Metabolism Section of Cells to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field, or to invite papers from relevant experts and colleagues.
We welcome manuscripts that emphasize the intracellular and extracellular regulatory mechanisms, cell type-dependent features, temporal features, functional effects and physiological role of cellular metabolism in development, maintenance, aging and disease. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metabolic systems modelling
- Role of extracellular vesicles
- Role of phase transitions
- Genetic regulation
- Epigenetic regulation
- Epigenetic effects
- Cell type-specific features
- Temporal features
- Links with cellular homeostasis and function
- Links with organ metabolism and physiology
- Effects of environmental factors
- Epidemiology
- Biomarkers
- Therapeutic targets.

The oral consumption of alcohol (ethanol) has a long tradition in humans and is an integral part of many cultures. The causal relationship between ethanol consumption and numerous diseases is well known. In addition to the well-described harmful effects on the liver and pancreas, there is also evidence that ethanol abuse triggers pathological skin conditions, including acne. In the present study, we addressed this issue by investigating the effect of ethanol on the energy metabolism in human SZ95 sebocytes, with particular focus on qualitative and quantitative lipogenesis. It was found that ethanol is a strong trigger for lipogenesis, with moderate effects on cell proliferation and toxicity. We identified the non-oxidative metabolism of ethanol, which produced fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs), as relevant for the lipogenic effect—the oxidative metabolism of ethanol does not contribute to lipogenesis. Correspondingly, using the Seahorse extracellular flux analyzer, we found an inhibition of the mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate as a measure of mitochondrial ATP production by ethanol. The ATP production rate from glycolysis was not affected. These data corroborate that ethanol-induced lipogenesis is independent from oxygen. In sum, our results give a causal explanation for the prevalence of acne in heavy drinkers, confirming that alcoholism should be considered as a systemic disease. Moreover, the identification of key factors driving ethanol-dependent lipogenesis may also be relevant in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
