Project description:To test whether NDGA attenuate dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis by enhancing fatty acid oxidation through activation of PPAR-α. Using wild type (WT, C57BL/6) fed with chow diet as control, WT mice were either fed with high-fat diet or high-fat diet with NDGA (2.5g/kg food); ob/ob mice were fed with either chow or chow with NDGA (2.5 g/kg food), and maintained on the respective diets for 16 weeks. The expression of lipid metabolism related genes in the liver of these mice were analyzed using Phalanx GPL6845 platform (Mouse OneArray V1). Together with other biochemical/physiological data, our results suggest that the beneficial actions of NDGA on dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis in ob/ob mice are exerted primarily through enhanced fatty acid oxidation and energy utilization via the activation of PPAR- α receptor activity. To examine the changes in gene expression in liver of WT and ob/ob mice with different NDGA diet treatment, RNA isolated from 3 animals of each group were used for studies of gene expression profiles. Phalanx GPL6845 platform (Mouse OneArray V1) was used for the microarrays analysis.

Project description:Caloric Restriction in Leptin Deficiency Worsens Myocardial Steatosis: Failure to Upregulate PPAR gamma and Thermogenic Glyecrolipid/Fatty Acid Cycling Growing evidence supports an anti-lipotoxic role for leptin in preventing inappropriate peripheral tissue lipid deposition. Obese, leptin deficient ob/ob mice develop left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and myocardial steatosis with increased apoptosis and decreased longevity. Here we investigated the cardiac effects of caloric restriction in leptin deficiency. Echocardiography was performed on C57Bl/6 wild-type mice (WT) and 7-month-old ob/ob mice fed ad lib, leptin-repleted (LR-ob/ob), or calorie-restricted (CR-ob/ob) for four weeks. Ventricular tissue was examined by electron microscopy (EM), mitochondrial coupling assay, and microarray expression profiling. LR and CR-ob/ob mice showed decreased body weight, heart weight, and LV wall thickness compared to ad lib ob/ob mice. LV fractional shortening was decreased in ad lib ob/ob mice, but restored to WT levels in LR and CR groups. However, EM revealed severe cardiac steatosis in the CR-ob/ob group compared to only moderate steatosis in ad lib ob/ob . Despite marked cardiac steatosis, CR (like LR) restored mitochondrial coupling to WT levels. CR up-regulated genes associated with oxidative stress and cell death, changes suggestive of cardiac lipotoxicity. LR, but not CR was shown to induce core genes involved in glycerolipid/free fatty acid cycling, a highly thermogenic pathway that can reduce intracellular lipid stores. LR, but not CR up-regulated and restored PGC1 and PPARto wild type levels; CR paradoxically further suppressed cardiac PPAR. Thus, leptin is essential in protecting the heart from lipotoxicity, and the inability to up-regulate the thermogenic glycerolipid/free fatty acid cycling pathway may impair the response of leptin deficient animals to the lipotoxic stress of calorie restriction. 6 month aged ob/ob mice were either leptin repleted with osmotic mini-pumps, calorie restricted to match the caloric intake of the leptin repleted mice, or fed ad lib for one month. 6-8 month C57Bl/6J mice were aged to serve as controls.

Project description:Background: Genetic elimination of c-Met signaling in the liver has been shown to impact many cellular pathways involved in repair, regeneration, lipid homeostasis and redox balance. In this study, we analyzed a nutritional model of hepatic steatosis in Met fl/fl ; Alb-Cre +/- (MetKO) mice in a 129SV/C57BL/6 background fed a high cholesterol diet for 30 days. Methods: Liver injury was determined by histopathology and plasma enzymes, transcriptomic changes were examined using gene expression microarrays, and evaluation of key molecules involved in liver damage and lipid homestasis were evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results: We observed that in comparison with wild type mice subjected to the same diet, MetKO mice developed a strong liver lipid deposition, inflammatory infiltration and increment in total bile acids synthesis and liver damage markers. Global transcriptomic changes analysis confirmed the steatosis and cholestasis induced by the high cholesterol diet. In addition, we found affected pathways related to amino acids, glutathione and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and mitochondria dysfunction. Oxidative stress exacerbation was corroborated by lipid and protein oxidation in liver tissue. To address further, Western blot studies revealed downregulation on Erk, NF-kB and Nrf2 survival pathways and target genes (cyclin D1, SOD1, gamma-GCS), an increment in proapoptotic proteins (p53, caspase 3) and changes in nuclear receptors such as RAR and RXR, which were increased, and CAR, FXR and PPAR alfa, which were decreased, in the MetKO diet. These results are in agreement with the steatosis and cholestasis phenotype. Conclusion: Our data provide evidence of c-Met signaling involvement in lipid metabolism, and bile acids synthesis and excretion. Disruption of these pathways leads to liver dysfunction, improper metabolism and hepatocellular damage. Global transcriptome changes between WT mice vs. c-Met KO mice fed a 2% cholesterol and 0.5% sodium cholate diet (high cholesterol) or a Chow regular diet (Chow) as control. Mice were fed a high cholesterol or chow regular diet for 30 days. Liver tissue was obtained, and RNA was extracted and subjected to Illumina microarray analysis.

Project description:To identify novel transcriptional factors involved in dysfunctional hepatic lipids homeostasis in obesity, mRNA microarray analysis were performed to of livers of ob/ob mice, a widely used obese model, and C57BL/6J control mice. Chow-fed ob/ob and C57BL/6J mice were housed in a 12 h of light and 12 h of dark cycle and fed ad libitum a regular chow diet. Mice were sacrificed at 16:00 (Zeitgeber Time 8 during light phase). Total RNA was prepared from each liver using TRIzol (Invitrogen). Equal aliquots of total RNA from each of four mouse livers in each group were pooled and used for biotin labeling as described in the Affymetrix technical bulletin. Then the transcriptional profiles of samples were probed using the Gene-Chip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:Long-term high fat feeding leads to hepatic steatosis, dyslipidemia, and a pro-inflammatory state. In a previous study, we observed this dysregulated metabolic phenotype when C57BL/6 mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD) for sixteen weeks. Additionally, a five-fold increase in liver gene expression of serum amyloid A-1 (SAA-1), an acute phase response protein that associates with high density lipoprotein (HDL), was observed. Inflammation induced changes composition may alter HDL functions, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and reverse cholesterol transport properties. Diet-induced onset and progression of HDL dysfunction is poorly understood. To examine the relationship between high fat diet and HDL dysfunction, we performed a short-term diet study. Four-week high fat feeding caused an increase in total plasma cholesterol compared with mice fed normal control diet (ND). No change in plasma triglycerides or development of hepatic steatosis was observed. These mice did however show evidence for increase in acute phase reactants, with a 3.25-fold increase in SAA-1 expression in liver. Heavy water labelling was used to determine the turnover rates of proteins associated with HDL. High fat diet resulted in increased fractional catabolic rate (HFD vs ND) of several acute phase response proteins involved ininnate immunity , including – Complement C3 (7.06 ± 0.99 vs 5.20 ± 0.56 %/h, p < 0.005), complement factor B (6.17 ± 0.59 vs 5.09 ± 0.87 %/h, p < 0.05), complement Factor H (4.16 ± 0.41 vs 3.56 ± 0.36 %/h, p < 0.05), and Complement factor I (3.50 ± 0.26 vs 2.75 ± 0.14 %/h, p < 0.005). Our findings suggest that early immune response-induced inflammatory remodeling of HDL precedes the diet-induced steatosis and dyslipidemia. Early HDL dysfunction reflected on impaired reverse cholesterol transport likely results in increase in plasma cholesterol in the absence of other lipid abnormalities.

Project description:Apolipoprotein E-knock out (apoE-KO) mouse is known as a model animal for atherosclerosis accompanied by spontaneous hypercholesterolemia. When apoE-KO mice were fed a chow supplemented with 1.25% cholesterol (high-Chol diet), cholesterol and bile acids were highly increased in the liver within a week. However, the amount of triacylglycerol (TG) in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), but not in the liver, was reduced by 78%. The epididymal adipose tissue was almost diminished in the long term. Cholesterol metabolism is tightly regulated by both cholesterol and its metabolites in the mammalian liver, but the regulatory mechanism of TG synthesis remains to be elucidated. To evaluate the impact of high-Chol diet for 1 week on gene expression in the liver of apoE-KO mice, DNA microarray analysis was performed with comparison to apoE-KO mice fed a normal chow. We found that mRNA expression related to lipid metabolism was suppressed by the high-Chol diet in the liver of apoE-KO mice, which includes beta-oxidation and glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) pathway for TG synthesis. In particular, the mRNA and protein expression of lipin-1 and lipin-2 was markedly decreased. PGC-1?, which up-regulates the transcription of lipin-1, was also suppressed. Lipin is reported to function as a coactivator of PGC-1? and is an inducible amplifier of PPAR?, indicating that the suppression of genes involved in beta-oxidation could be induced by suppression of the lipins. These data using apoE-KO mice indicate that cholesterol and its metabolites are involved in regulating TG metabolism through a suppression of lipin-1 and lipin-2 in the liver. This research provides evidence for the mechanism of lipin expression in the liver. Apo E-KO mice at 10 weeks of age were fed normal chow (control) or high-Chol diet containing 1.25% cholesterol for 1 week. Three independent experiments were performed at each diet.
