Acquired paternal inheritance fatty liver transcriptomes induced by high-fat diet

ABSTRACT: Many acquired traits related to fat metabolism are inherited, and nutritional factors can induce fatty liver in chickens. We found that the paternal fatty livers induced by high-fat diet in Jingxing-Huang chickens were inherited, but the molecular mechanisms of inherited fatty liver in chickens are far from clear. The goals of this study are to compare liver transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in F1 generation to screen candidate genes for acquired fatty liver. Compared to birds without fatty liver in the control group, the paternal group exhibited altered hepatic gene expression profiles, including up-regulation of several key genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism (ACACA, FASN, SCD, ACSL5, FADS2, FABP1, APOA4 and ME1). This study uniquely revealed that acquired fatty liver in cocks can be inherited. The hepatic gene expression profiles were altered in chickens with the inherited phenotype of acquired paternal fatty liver and several genes could be candidate biomarkers.

Project description:Background and aim: The Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis is increasingly suggested to be involved in fatty liver disease and progression. We identified IGFBP2 as transcriptional regulatory effect network in liver steatosis and conducted a translational approach of its role in liver pathology from mouse to human, and whether it is influenced by conventional clinical intervention that mitigate hepatic steatosis. Methods: Primary hepatocytes from either C57Bl6 controls, alb-SREBP-1c mice with moderate transgene induced hepatic lipid accumulation or aP2-SREBP-1c mice with massive ectopic hepatic lipid accumulation, were analyzed to identify regulatory networks based on differentially regulated hepatic gene expression. In a translational approach, serum of morbidly obese patients with and without diabetes and biopsy-proven NAFLD were used for ELISA-based validation of mouse data. Moreover, sera of patients undergoing intervention were analyzed and correlated to liver fat content. Results: Comparative knowledge-based transcriptome analysis identified IGFBP2 as top score regulatory effect network between moderate and aggravated fatty liver in mouse models. The reduced expression of IGFBP2 in aP2-SREPB-1c progressed fatty liver associated with Igfbp2 promoter hypermethylation. Reduced secretion of IGFBP2 from aP2-SREBP-1c hepatocytes was reflected in the circulation of the animals. In this phenotype, reductions of IGFBP2 were accompanied by reduced fatty acid oxidation and increased methyltransferase and SIRT activity. Physiologically, IGFBP2 has no direct impact on lipid metabolism but might modulate IGF1 action on de novo lipogenesis. In humans, IGFBP2 levels declined from non-obese men to morbidly obese men with NAFLD and NASH. In intervention study reductions in liver fat correlated with restoration of IGFBP2 serum levels to values found in healthy individuals in morbidly obese patients following bariatric surgery. Conclusion: In hepatic metabolism changes of IGFBP2 abundance is connected to lipid metabolism whereas changes in IGFBP2 secretion were directly reflected in the circulation. IGFBP2 serum concentration correlates with the degree of fatty liver, which seems to be related to plasticity of the adipose tissue. These data provide IGFBP2 as a potential non-invasive biomarker for fatty liver disease directly reflecting the degree of impaired liver function with the potential to indicate progressed fatty liver disease.
