Hypoxia coordinates adipocyte hypertrophy andhyperplasia through HlF1aa-ATGL-PPARy pathway enablesrapid and healthy energy storage in grass carp

ABSTRACT: Animals often face food scarcity in nature. In order to survive, some animals store substantial fat when food is available. However, the physiological mechanism by which they store substantial fat and maintain metabolic health in the short term is poorly understood. Here, using the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) as a model, which exhibits remarkable fat storage capacity, we found that adipose tissue responded to energy overload first and expanded through adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Mechanistically, hypoxia inducible factor-1αa (hif-1αa) was activated in mature adipocytes after short-term high-energy intake, thereby bidirectionally regulating adipose triglyceride lipase (atgl) to drive healthy expansion of adipose tissue in grass carp: (1) Hif-1αa downregulates atgl protein levels via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, promoting adipocyte hypertrophy; (2) Hif-1αa upregulates atgl transcription to sustain basal lipolysis, releasing free fatty acids that activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (pparγ) in preadipocytes to promote adipocyte hyperplasia. This crosstalk-mediated rapid adipocyte hyperplasia prevents detrimental excessive hypertrophy and significantly boosts the overall energy storage capacity. Taken together, our study reveals how grass carp utilize hypoxia signals (a signal often associated with metabolic disorders in mammals) to coordinate the pattern of adipose tissue expansion, achieving rapid and healthy lipid storage. Our findings redefine hypoxia's role as a metabolic orchestrator rather than a stress indicator, suggesting potential implications for a theoretical basis for addressing obesity-related diseases in humans and farmed animals caused by excessive energy intake.

Project description:Purpose:Salinity is an important environmental factor that affects the physiological activities of fish. The goals of this study are investigating the effect of different saline-alkali stress on grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Methods: Grass carp individuals, averaging 12 cm in body length, were obtained from Duofu fish farm (Wuhan, China) and cultured at recirculating aquaculture system for 2 weeks before the experiment began. For the challenge, all grass carp were randomly divided into three groups, and then cultured at saline-alkali water with the concentration of 0, 3‰ and 6‰. After 30 days, some grass crap cultured at 3‰ and 6‰ saline-alkali water were injured. At the same time, gill samples of grass carp were collected from 0, 3‰ (grass carp was not injured), 3‰ (grass carp was injured), 6‰ (grass carp was not injured) and 6‰ (grass carp was injured)saline-alkali groups. Total RNA of all samples was isolated using TRIzol® Reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's introduction. RNA integrity was assessed using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent, USA). Samples with RNA integrity numbers (RINs) ≥ 7.5 were subjected to cDNA library construction using TruseqTM RNA sample prep Kit (Illumina). Results:A total of 15 were processed for transcriptome sequencing, generating 94.99Gb Clean Data. At least 5.76Gb clean data were generated for each sample with minimum 91.87% of clean data achieved quality score of Q30. Clean reads of each sample were mapped to specified reference genome. Mapping ratio ranged from 88.59% to 92.84%. The expression of genes was quantified and differentially expressed genes were identified based on their expression.Criteria for differentially expressed genes was set as Fold Change(FC)≥1.5 and Pvalue<0.05. Fold change(FC) refers to the ratio of gene expression in two samples. These DEGs were further processed for functional annotation and enrichment analysis. Conclusions: Our study represents Effects and molecular regulation mechanisms of saline-alkali stress on the healthy grass carp by using RNA-seqtechnology. Our results show that saline-alkali stress will impair the immune system of grass carp.
