Effect of pivalate-induced secondary carnitine deficiency on hepatic transcriptome and plasma metabolome in growing pigs

ABSTRACT: Administration of pivalate has been demonstrated to be suitable for induction of secondary car-nitine deficiency (CD) in pigs, as model objects for humans. In order to comprehensively charac-terize the metabolic effects of secondary CD in the liver of pigs, the present study aimed to carry out comparative analysis of hepatic transcriptome and plasma metabolome of a total of 12, male 5-weeks-old pigs administered either pivalate (group PIV, n = 6) or vehicle (group CON, n = 6) for 28 days. Pigs of group PIV had approximately 40-60% lower concentrations of free carnitine and acetylcarnitine in plasma, liver and different skeletal muscles than pigs of group CON (p < 0.05). Transcript profiling of the liver revealed 140 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between group PIV and group CON (fold change > 1.2 or < −1.2, p-value < 0.05). Biological process terms dealing with the innate immune response were found to be enriched with the DEGs (p < 0.05). Using a targeted metabolomics approach for the simultaneous quantification of 630 metabolites, 13 me-tabolites were identified to be lower and 5 metabolites to be higher in group PIV than in group CON (p < 0.05). Despite pivalate-induced CD caused only weak alterations of the hepatic tran-scriptome and the plasma metabolome, the changes observed indicate that secondary CD modu-lates the innate immune response of pigs.

Project description:Phytoremediation soil polluted by heavy metal has been drawn on a worldwide attention from human society. However, how to improve the efficiency of plant remediation of soil contaminated by cadmium remains unknown. Previous studies showed that nitrogen (N) significantly enhanced cadmium uptake in poplar plants. In order to further explore the key role of N in the detoxification against cadmium stress in plants, this study try to investigate the poplar proteome and phosphoproteome difference between Cd stress and Cd+N treatment. In total, 5838 of the 6573 identified were quantified. With a fold-change threshold >1.3 and p-value<0.05, 375 and 108 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd stress when compared to the control, 42 and 89 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / Cd group, 522 and 127 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / CK group. In addition, the phosphoproteome data was obtained after the proteomic difference was normalized, and 1471phosphosites in 721 proteins were quantified. Based on a fold-change threshold >1.2, P-value <0.05, the Cd stress up-regulated 8 phosphosites in 8 proteins and down-regulated 69 phosphosites in 58 proteins, whereas N+Cd treatment up-regulated 95 phosphosites in 86 proteins and down-regulated 17 phosphosites in 17 proteins when compared to sole Cd stress. In addition, N+Cd treatment up-regulated 74 phosphosites in 60 proteins and down-regulated 42 phosphosites in 37 proteins when compared to the control.Several putative responses to stress proteins, transcriptional and translational regulation factors were up-regulated by addition ofexogenous nitrogen followed Cd stress at the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. Especially, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), peroxidase (POD), zinc finger protein (ZFP), ABC transporter protein (ABC), eukaryotic translation initiation factor (elF) and splicing factor 3B subunit 1-like (SF3BI) were up-regulated by Cd+N treatment whether at the proteome or at the phosphoproteome levels, which was need to further study. In a word, taken together of proteome and phosphoproteome data, nitrogen serves a protective role in plants treated with Cd by multiple ways.
