MicroRNAs Expressed in Visceral Adipose Tissue from Mice Fed High-Fat Diets Supplemented with Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)

ABSTRACT: The goal of this subproject is to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed in visceral (VIS) adipose tissue (gonadal fat from male C57BL/6 mice) and regulated by eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This will provide insight into microRNAs regulated by EPA and their potential role in obesity-associated inflammation. We performed small RNA-sequencing of white (VIS) adipose tissue from high-fat diet (45% kcal from fat) supplemented with EPA (45% Kcal from fat, 6.75% EPA). Using the Gunaratne Next-Generation pipeline (published in Creighton et al. 2009), miRNA expression profiles were identified. Counts of each unique read were normalized to total usable reads, and had 40 counts added. We mapped about 13.8 million sequence reads per sample to the Mus musculus genome (build mm 10). We are specifically interested in those miRNAs expressed in VIS fat from EPA-fed mice compared to HF-fed mice.

Project description:Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce inflammation via a range of mechanisms. This study tested the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on intestinal inflammation using interleukin-10 gene-deficient (Il10-/-) mice. Methods: At 35 days of age, 12 weaned Il10-/- and 12 C57 mice were randomly assigned to one of two modified AIN-76A diets, supplemented with 3.7% purified ethyl esters of either EPA (n-3) or oleic acid (OA, control). To identify genes relevant to colon inflammation, transcription profiling (microarrays and qRT-PCR) and bioinformatic analyses were used. Results: In this study, dietary EPA reversed the decrease in colon fatty acid Î²-oxidation gene expression observed in OA-fed Il10-/- compared to C57 mice. Il10-/- mice fed the OA diet showed decreased expression of antioxidant enzyme genes, as well as those involved in detoxification of xenobiotics, compared to C57 mice on the same diet. In contrast, dietary EPA increased the expression of these genes in Il10-/- mice. Conclusions: These data indicate that dietary EPA induced endogenous lipid oxidation which might have a potential anti-inflammatory effect on colon tissue. This is supported by the activation of the Ppara gene that regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory genes and proteins. Experiment Overall Design: The diet abbreviations EPA, OA, AA and CO used in the sample records Experiment Overall Design: refer to the following : Experiment Overall Design: CO : AIN-76A (control) Experiment Overall Design: OA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% oleic acid Experiment Overall Design: EPA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% eicosapentaenoic acid Experiment Overall Design: AA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% arachidonic acid Experiment Overall Design: Corn oil was supplemented with purified linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid to meet the nutritional requirements of mice for these essential fatty acids. Diets fed for 6 weeks.
