Murine skin gene expression analysis of skin-specific Scd1-deficient and control mice

ABSTRACT: To help elucidate the metabolic changes in the skin that contribute to the obesity resistance and skin pathology in mice lacking Scd1, we performed microarray analysis of skin gene expression in male skin Scd1 knockout (SKO) and Scd1 flox/flox control (Lox) mice fed a standard rodent diet. We identified an extraordinary number of differentially expressed genes that support the previously documented histological observations of sebocyte atrophy, inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia in SKO mice. Additionally, transcript levels were reduced in skin of SKO mice for genes involved in fatty acid synthesis, elongation and desaturation, which may be attributed to decreased abundance of key transcription factors including SREBP1c, ChREBP and LXRα. Conversely, genes involved in cholesterol synthesis were increased, suggesting an imbalance between skin fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. Unexpectedly, we observed a robust elevation in skin retinol, retinoic acid and retinoic acid-induced genes in SKO mice. These results highlight the importance of monounsaturated fatty acid synthesis for maintaining retinol homeostasis and point to disturbed retinol metabolism as a novel contributor to the Scd1 deficiency-induced skin pathology.

Project description:Cis-9, trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9, t11-CLA), a functional fatty acid, is one of the research hotspots in the fields of functional dairy products development because of its multiple beneficial effects in humans and animals. In milk, most c9, t11-CLA is de novo synthesized from trans-11-octadecenoic acid (TVA) and it is confirmed that genes such as stearoyl-coA desaturase 1 (SCD1) play a key role in the synthesis. However, few studies have been reported to deeply elucidate the SCD1-dependent molecular mechanism of cis9, trans11-CLA synthesis and its relationship with the pathways of energy metabolism and lipid metabolism. Therefore, in the present study, MAC-T cells were divided into three groups: CAY group (SCD1-inhibited MAC-T cell model with the addition of CAY, TVA), TVA group (only TVA), and Control group (without CAY, TVA). The relative mRNA expression of SCD1 was measured using real-time PCR, while TVA accumulation and c9, t11 -CLA synthesis were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC). The SCD1-related proteins were firstly screened in MAC-T cells by Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics analysis, then their functions were annotated by bioinformatic analysis, and finally their relationships with SCD1 were evaluated by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis and small RNA interference. The results showed that the deficiency of SCD1 led by CAY10566 blocked the synthesis of c9, t11-CLA in MAC-T cells. Sixty-one SCD1-associated proteins were screened and found to be mainly involved in the pathways of energy metabolism and lipid metabolism, such as glycolytic pathway, pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid elongation pathway, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. Among these genes, 17 proteins were validated under the PRM analysis. PGAM1 (phosphoglycerate mutase 1), TPI1 (triosephosphate isomerase 1), LDHB (lactate dehydrogenase B), and ALDOA (aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate A) were verified to have a negative relationships with SCD1. This study furthered our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of c9, t11-CLA synthesis in the mammary glands of dairy cows.
