Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that collect, store, and supply lipids. LDs have a central role in the exchange of lipids occurring between the cell and the environment, and provide cells with substrates for energy metabolism, membrane synthesis, and production of lipid-derived molecules such as lipoproteins or hormones. However, lipid-derived metabolites also cause progressive lipotoxicity; accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial malfunctioning, and cell death. Intracellular accumulation of LDs is a hallmark of prevalent human diseases including obesity, steatosis, diabetes, myopathies, and arteriosclerosis. Indeed, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of abnormal hepatic function among adults. Lipotoxicity gradually promotes cellular ballooning and disarray, megamitochondria, and accumulation of Mallory’s hyaline in hepatocytes and inflammation, fibrosis, and cirrhosis in the liver. Here, using confocal microscopy, serial-block-face scanning electron microscopy, and flow-cytometry we show that LD accumulation is heterogeneous within a cell population and follows a positive skewed distribution. Lipid availability and fluctuations in biochemical networks controlling lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and protein synthesis, contribute to cell-to-cell heterogeneity. Critically, this reversible variability generates a subpopulation of cells that effectively collect and store lipids. This high-lipid subpopulation accumulates more LDs, more ROS, and reduces the risk of lipotoxicity to the population without impairing overall lipid homeostasis, since high-lipid cells can supply stored lipids to the other cells. In conclusion, we demonstrate fat storage compartmentalization within a cell population and propose that this is a protective social organization to reduce lipotoxicity.
