Transcription profiling of liver and white adipose tissue from mice fed standard or test diets with or without monosodium glutamate in their water

ABSTRACT: C57BL/6J mice were from The Jackson Laboratory (Maine, USA) and were housed/caged and fed a standard chow diet until 6 weeks of age whereupon they were placed in one of 4 different dietary regimens for a period of 3 weeks prior to mating. Mice were housed under pathogen-free conditions of 21± 1°C, 40 to 60% humidity, and a 12 h-12 h light/dark cycle. The 4 diet regimens used in this study were: [1] ad lib Standard Chow (Control diet) with ad lib drinking water. [2] Ad lib Standard Chow, with ad lib drinking water containing 0.64 mg/ml (97 mg/Kg body weight) monosodium glutamate (MSG diet). [3] Ad lib Test Diet Purina 5001 with 20% 55-HFCS (5B4K, Purina, USA), and ad lib drinking water (HFCS diet). [4] Ad lib Purina 5001 with 20% 55-HFCS, and ad lib drinking water containing 0.64 mg/ml (97 mg/K body weight) monosodium glutamate (HFCS+MSG diet). See Table 1 for diet composition. Following mating, the 4 groups of dams were maintained on their respective diets throughout the gestation and nursing period. Male offspring used in these experiments were weighed, then weaned onto the same diets and maintained in this regimen until they reached either 16 or 32 weeks of age. Total RNA was prepared from the liver and visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) taken from 16-week-old mice in the 4 different diet groups using Qiagen RNeasy Kit (Qiagen USA) according to the manufacturers instructions and stored at -80 o C.

Project description:Caloric Restriction in Leptin Deficiency Worsens Myocardial Steatosis: Failure to Upregulate PPAR gamma and Thermogenic Glyecrolipid/Fatty Acid Cycling Growing evidence supports an anti-lipotoxic role for leptin in preventing inappropriate peripheral tissue lipid deposition. Obese, leptin deficient ob/ob mice develop left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and myocardial steatosis with increased apoptosis and decreased longevity. Here we investigated the cardiac effects of caloric restriction in leptin deficiency. Echocardiography was performed on C57Bl/6 wild-type mice (WT) and 7-month-old ob/ob mice fed ad lib, leptin-repleted (LR-ob/ob), or calorie-restricted (CR-ob/ob) for four weeks. Ventricular tissue was examined by electron microscopy (EM), mitochondrial coupling assay, and microarray expression profiling. LR and CR-ob/ob mice showed decreased body weight, heart weight, and LV wall thickness compared to ad lib ob/ob mice. LV fractional shortening was decreased in ad lib ob/ob mice, but restored to WT levels in LR and CR groups. However, EM revealed severe cardiac steatosis in the CR-ob/ob group compared to only moderate steatosis in ad lib ob/ob . Despite marked cardiac steatosis, CR (like LR) restored mitochondrial coupling to WT levels. CR up-regulated genes associated with oxidative stress and cell death, changes suggestive of cardiac lipotoxicity. LR, but not CR was shown to induce core genes involved in glycerolipid/free fatty acid cycling, a highly thermogenic pathway that can reduce intracellular lipid stores. LR, but not CR up-regulated and restored PGC1 and PPARto wild type levels; CR paradoxically further suppressed cardiac PPAR. Thus, leptin is essential in protecting the heart from lipotoxicity, and the inability to up-regulate the thermogenic glycerolipid/free fatty acid cycling pathway may impair the response of leptin deficient animals to the lipotoxic stress of calorie restriction. 6 month aged ob/ob mice were either leptin repleted with osmotic mini-pumps, calorie restricted to match the caloric intake of the leptin repleted mice, or fed ad lib for one month. 6-8 month C57Bl/6J mice were aged to serve as controls.
