Characterization of elongation of the very long chain fatty acid protein 6 (elovl6) gene in male Oreochromis niloticus and its potential regulatory roles in lipid and glucose metabolism

ABSTRACT: Elongation of very long-chain fatty acids protein 6 (Elovl6) is a crucial enzyme in the synthesis of endogenous fatty acids, which participates in the energy balance and metabolic diseases. The main objective of this study was to explore the molecular characterization of elovl6 and study regulatory mechanism of elovl6 on male Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. In the present study, the full-length cDNA of Nile tilapia elovl6 was 2255 bp, comprising a 5'-UTR of 193 bp, an ORF of 810 bp, and a 3'-UTR of 1252 bp, encoding 269 amino acids that possesses the characteristic features of Elovl proteins. The transcription expression of elovl6 transcripts showed differential expression in different tissues and fed with different lipid sources diet. Antisense RNA technology was used to knock-down elovl6 in Nile tilapia. Compared with the control treatments (transfected with ultrapure water (control) or the blank expression vector (negative control)), knockdown elovl6 altered hepatic morphology, Long chain fatty acid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, lead to excess fat deposition in the liver, ultimately cause abnormal glucose/lipid metabolism in male Nile tilapia. Transcriptome analyses (AGPAT2 knock-down vs. negative control) revealed a total of 5877 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Transcriptome analyses revealed DEGs were greatly involved in some signaling pathways, such as PPAR signaling pathway, fatty acid degradation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and insulin signaling pathway, which were related to lipid and glucose metabolism. We used qRT-PCR to verify the mRNA expression changes of 13 DEGs in related signaling pathways. Our results demonstrate that knock-down of elovl6 in tilapia blocks the synthesis of oleic acid and leads to abnormal glucose/lipid metabolism.

Project description:<p>The GOLDN study was initiated to assess how genetic factors interact with environmental (diet and drug) interventions to influence blood levels of triglycerides and other atherogenic lipid species and inflammation markers (registered at <a href="http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00083369">clinicaltrails.gov</a>, number NCT00083369). The study recruited Caucasian participants primarily from three-generational pedigrees from two NHLBI Family Heart Study (FHS) field centers (Minneapolis, MN and Salt Lake City, UT). Only families with at least two siblings were recruited and only participants who did not take lipid-lowering agents (pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals) for at least 4 weeks prior to the initial visit were included. A total of 1048 GOLDN participants were included in the diet intervention. The diet intervention followed the protocol of Patsch et al. (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1420093">1992</a>). The whipping cream (83% fat) meal had 700 Calories/m2 body surface area (2.93 MJ/m2 body surface area): 3% of calories were derived from protein (instant nonfat dry milk) and 14% from carbohydrate (sugar). The ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fat was 0.06 and the cholesterol content of the average meal was 240 mg. The mixture was blended with ice and flavorings. Blood samples were drawn immediately before (fasting) and at 3.5 and 6 hours after consuming the high-fat meal. For the GOLDN lipidomics study, sterols and fatty acids were measured from stored plasma (-80 degrees Celsius) collected at fasting and 3.5 hours after the diet intervention using TrueMass Panels from Lipomics (West Sacramento, CA). A total of 11 sterols were quantified in nmols/gram of sample including total cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, desmosterol, lanosterol, lathasterol, cholestanol, coprostanol, beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol. A total of 35 fatty acids were quantified in nmols/gram of sample inlcuding myristic acid (14:0); pentadecanoic acid (15:0); palmitic acid (16:0); stearic acid (18:0); arachidic acid (20:0); behenic acid (22:0); lignoceric acid (24:0); myristoleic acid (14:1n5); palmitoleic acid (16:1n7); palmitelaidic acid (t16:1n7); oleic acid (18:1n9); elaidic acid (t18:1n9); vaccenic acid (18:1n7); linoleic acid (18:2n6); gamma-linolenic acid (18:3n6); alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n3); stearidonic acid (18:4n3); eicosenoic acid (20:1n9); eicosadienoic acid (20:2n6); mead acid (20:3n9); di-homo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n6); arachidonic acid (20:4n6); eicsoatetraenoic acid (20:4n3); eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n3); erucic acid (22:1n9); docosadienoic acid (22:2n6); adrenic acid (22:4n6); docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n6); docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n3); docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n3); nervonic acid (24:1n9); and plasmalogen derivatives of 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n9, and 18:1n7.</p>
