Lipid bodies are lipid-rich organelles found in the cytoplasm of a variety of cells, including leukocytes. Lipid body morphology, its ability to interact with other organelles and its functions are dictated by its lipid arrangement, as well as its protein composition. Both may vary according to the cell type and with the specific lipid body biogenic stimulatory pathways. Nascent lipid bodies, which are formed in vivo in the course of a variety of immunopathological conditions, are sites of enzyme localization, eicosanoid production, as well as, sites for cytokine storage in inflammatory leukocytes, suggesting that lipid bodies function as inducible intracellular platforms for spatial segregation and organization of signaling leading to inflammatory mediator secretion during inflammation. The emerging role of lipid bodies as inflammatory organelles raises lipid body status to critical regulators of different inflammatory diseases, key markers of leukocyte activation and attractive targets for novel anti-inflammatory therapies.
