Linalool, an aromatic terpenoid, rewires transcriptome profile of lipid-loaded HepG2 cells

ABSTRACT: The microarray results showed that linalool sitimulation of lipid-loaded HepG2 cells rewired the hepatic transcriptome profile, with linalool being comparable to those of fenofibrate. Total of 8,988 genes that were commonly and significantly expressed in all experimental groups, including control hepatocytes, lipid-loaded hepatocytes, and lipid-loaded hepatocyted stimulated with linalool or fenofibrate, respectively, to compare the transcriptome profile of linalool (1mM) with those of hypotriglyceridemic drug, fenofibrate (100 ?M). Lipid loading of hepatocytes notably changed hepatic transcriptome profile, where 77 % of the selected genes showed >20% changes in expression (fold change > 1.2 or fold change <0.8). However, linalool stimulation of lipid-loaded cells showed that 48 % of the selected genes had expression changes of >20%. Thus, 29 % of the selected genes became to show less than 20% changes in expression after linalool stimulation compared to the lipid-loaded condition. Fenofibrate showed 46 % of the selected gene expression changes of >20%. Thus, 31 % of the seleted genes fell into the <20% change category compared to the lipid-loaded condition after fenofibrate stimulation. Untreated control vs. lipid-loaded HepG2 cells (3 biological replicates), untreated control vs. lipid-loaded HepG2 cells treated with fenofibrate (3 biological replicates), untreated control vs. lipid-loaded HepG2 cells treated with linalool (2 biological replicates).

Project description:The role of PPARα in gene regulation in mouse liver is well characterized. However, less is known about the effect of PPARα activation in human liver. The aim of the present study was to better characterize the impact of PPARα activation on gene regulation in human liver by combining transcriptomics with the use of hepatocyte humanized livers. To that end, chimeric mice containing hepatocyte humanized livers were given an oral dose of 300 mg/kg fenofibrate daily for 4 days. Livers were collected and analysed by hematoxilin and eosin staining, qPCR, and transcriptomics. Transcriptomics data were compared with existing datasets on fenofibrate treatment in normal mice. The human hepatocytes exhibited excessive lipid accumulation. Fenofibrate increased the size of the mouse but not human hepatocytes, and tended to reduce steatosis in the human hepatocytes. Quantitative PCR indicated that induction of PPARα targets by fenofibrate was less pronounced in the human hepatocytes than in the residual mouse hepatocytes. Transcriptomics analysis indicated that, after filtering, a total of 282 genes was significantly different between fenofibrate- and control-treated mice (P<0.01). 123 genes were significantly lower and 159 genes significantly higher in the fenofibrate-treated mice, including many established PPARα targets such as FABP1, HADHB, HADHA, VNN1, PLIN2, ACADVL and HMGCS2. According to gene set enrichment analysis, fenofibrate upregulated interferon/cytokine signaling-related pathways in hepatocyte humanized liver, but downregulated these pathways in normal mouse liver. Also, fenofibrate downregulated pathways related to DNA synthesis in hepatocyte humanized liver but not in normal mouse liver. The results support the major role of PPARα in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism, and underscore the more modest effect of PPARα activation on gene regulation in human liver compared to mouse liver. The data suggest that PPARα may have a suppressive effect on DNA synthesis in human liver, and a stimulatory effect on interferon/cytokine signalling.
