Transcription profiling of mouse wild-type (129S1/SvImJ) and PPARalpha -/- (129S4/SvJae) livers after feeding with synthetic dietary triglycerides:

ABSTRACT: Dietary fatty acids have myriads of effects on human health and disease. Many of these effects are likely achieved by altering expression of genes. Several transcription factors have been shown to be responsive to fatty acids, including SREBP-1c, NF-kB, RXRs, LXRs, FXR, HNF4Î±, and PPARs. However, the relative importance of these transcription factors in regulation of gene expression by dietary fatty acids remains unclear. Here, we take advantage of a unique experimental design using synthetic triglycerides composed of one single fatty acid in combination with gene expression profiling to examine the acute effects of individual dietary fatty acids on hepatic gene expression in mice. The dietary interventions were performed in parallel in wild-type and PPARÎ±-/- mice, enabling the determination of the specific contribution of PPARÎ±. Depending on chain length and degree of saturation, dietary fatty acids caused a statistically significant change in expression of over 400 genes. Surprisingly, the far majority of genes regulated by dietary fatty acids in wild-type mice were unaltered in mice lacking PPARÎ±, indicating PPARÎ±-dependent regulation. We conclude that the effects of dietary fatty acids on hepatic gene expression are almost entirely mediated by PPARÎ±, indicating that PPARÎ± dominates fatty acid-dependent gene regulation in liver. Experiment Overall Design: 2-6 months old male pure bred wild-type (129S1/SvImJ) and PPARÎ± -/- (129S4/SvJae) mice were used. Experiment Overall Design: Wild-type and PPARÎ± -/- mice fasted for 4 hours received a single dose of 400 Âµl synthetic triglyceride (tridecanoin â C10:0, triolein â C18:1, trilinolein â C18:2, trilinolenin â C18:3, trieicosapentaenoin â C20:5 or tridocosahexaenoin â C22:6), the synthetic PPARÎ± agonists WY14643 or fenofibrate (400 Î¼l of 10 mg/ml in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC) or control (400 Î¼l of 0.5% CMC). 6 hours after gavage, mice were killed and livers extracted. Experiment Overall Design: (Please note: Experiments with C10:0, C18:2 and C18:3 were carried out a few months later than the rest of the treatments. Therefore there is a second set of control arrays â named control2 â which belong to these three treatment groups.) Experiment Overall Design: Liver total RNA from biological replicates was hybridized onto Affymetrix mouse genome 430 2.0 GeneChip arrays. Five microgram total RNA was labelled according to the ENZO-protocol, fragmented and hybridized according to Affymetrix's protocols.

Project description:Background: The selective absorption of nutrients and other food constituents in the small intestine is mediated by a group of transport proteins and metabolic enzymes, often collectively called âintestinal barrier proteinsâ. An important receptor that mediates the effects of dietary lipids on gene expression is the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARÎ±), which is abundantly expressed in enterocytes. In this study we examined the effects of acute nutritional activation of PPARÎ± on expression of genes encoding intestinal barrier proteins. To this end we used triacylglycerols composed of identical fatty acids in combination with gene expression profiling in wild-type and PPARÎ±-null mice. Treatment with the synthetic PPARÎ± agonist WY14643 served as reference. Results: We identified 74 barrier genes that were PPARÎ±-dependently regulated 6 hours after activation with WY14643. For eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and oleic acid (OA) these numbers were 46, 41, and 19, respectively. The overlap between EPA-, DHA-, and WY14643-regulated genes was considerable, whereas OA treatment showed limited overlap. Functional implications inferred form our data suggested that nutrient-activated PPARÎ± regulated transporters and phase I/II metabolic enzymes were involved in a) fatty acid oxidation, b) cholesterol, glucose, and amino acid transport and metabolism, c) intestinal motility, and d) oxidative stress defense. Conclusion: We identified intestinal barrier genes that were PPARÎ±-dependently regulated after acute activation by fatty acids.This knowledge provides a better understanding of the impact dietary fat has on the barrier function of the gut, identifies PPARÎ± as an important factor controlling this key function, and underscores the importance of PPARÎ± for nutrient-mediated gene regulation in intestine. Experiment Overall Design: Pure bred wild-type (129S1/SvImJ) and PPARÎ±-null (129S4/SvJae) mice were treated for 6 hours with the synthetic triacylglycerols triolein [oleic acid (OA, C18:1)], trieicosapentaenoin [eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5)] or tridocosahexaenoin [ocosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6)], or the potent PPARÎ± agonist WY14,643. Two weeks before the start of the experiment, mice were put on a modified AIN76A diet, in which corn oil was replaced by olive oil. At the day of the experiment mice were fasted for four hours. At 9 AM mice were dosed by oral gavage with 400 Âµl of a 0.1% WY14643 suspension in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose, or 400 Âµl of the synthetic triacylglycerols. Six hours after the gavage the mice were anaesthetized, small intestines were removed, flushed with ice-cold PBS and remaining fat and pancreatic tissue was carefully removed. Total RNA was then isolated. RNA of 4-5 biological replicates was hybridized to Affymetrix 430-2.0 plus arrays. Five microgram total RNA was labelled according to the ENZO-protocol, fragmented and hybridized according to Affymetrix's protocols.

Project description:Fatty acids comprise the primary energy source for the heart and are mainly taken up via hydrolysis of circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. While most of the fatty acids entering the cardiomyocyte are oxidized, a small portion is involved in altering gene transcription to modulate cardiometabolic functions. So far, no in vivo model has been developed enabling study of the transcriptional effects of specific fatty acids in the intact heart. In the present study, mice were given a single oral dose of synthetic triglycerides composed of one single fatty acid. Hearts were collected 6h thereafter and used for whole genome gene expression profiling. Experiments were conducted in wild-type and PPARalpha-/- mice to allow exploration of the specific contribution of PPARalpha. It was found that: 1) linolenic acid (C18:3) had the most pronounced effect on cardiac gene expression. 2) The largest similarity in gene regulation was observed between linoleic acid (C18:2) and C18:3. Large similarity was also observed between the synthetic PPARalpha agonist Wy14643 and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6). 3) Many genes were regulated by one particular treatment only. Genes regulated by one particular treatment showed large functional divergence. 4) The majority of genes responding to fatty acid treatment were regulated in a PPARalpha-dependent manner, emphasizing the importance of PPARalpha in mediating transcriptional regulation by fatty acids in the heart. 5) Several genes were robustly regulated by all or many of the fatty acids studied, mostly representing well-described targets of PPARs (e.g. Acot1, Angptl4, Ucp3). 6) Deletion and activation of PPARalpha had a major effect on expression of numerous genes involved in metabolism and immunity. Our analysis demonstrates the marked impact of dietary fatty acids on gene regulation in the heart via PPARalpha. To study the transcriptional effects of specific fatty acids in the intact heart, wild type and PPARalpha-/- mice were given a single oral dose of 4 synthetic triglycerides composed of one single fatty acid, as well as of the synthetic PPARalpha agonist Wy14,643. Hearts were collected 6h after gavag and used for whole genome gene expression profiling.

After 5days hearts were collected and used for whole genome gene expression profiling.
