Project description:The liver is a major site for synthesis, storage and redistribution of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. In addition, it is well-known that maternal obesity (MO) increases risk of offspring cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and obesity. However, the mechanisms by which the MO intrauterine environment predisposes offspring to CVD and metabolic dysregulation are unknown. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of MO on primate fetal liver and identify underlying molecular mechanisms by which MO increases disease risk. The goal of this study was to identify candidate molecular mechanisms underlying MO in the near-term non-human primate (NHP) fetal liver. This is the first study of NHP fetal MO livers using unbiased transcriptome analysis to quantify hepatic gene expression, identify dysregulated signaling pathways and potential miRNAs regulating the disrupted metabolic processes. Unbiased gene (arrays) and microRNA (miRNA; small RNA-Seq) abundances were quantified in near-term (0.9 Gestation (0.9G)) baboon fetal livers (control (CON) = 6; MO = 5) and subjected to pathway and network analyses (GeneSifter, Ingenuity® Pathway Analysis (IPA)) to identify a coordinated molecular response to MO. Lipid and glycogen content (CON = 16; MO = 16) were quantified by Computer Assisted Stereology Toolbox (CAST) in 0.9G livers. Pairwise comparisons showed 933 differentially expressed genes between CON and MO livers: 350 genes were upregulated and 583 were downregulated. Pathway analysis revealed upregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and downregulation of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, proteasome, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis pathways in MO fetal livers compared with CON. Inversely expressed miRNAs that target genes in these pathways provide additional support for the importance of these pathways in fetal liver metabolic regulation. Consistent with the observed pathway changes in MO, we found hepatic lipid content was threefold greater in MO than CON fetal livers (p=0.02). Molecular genetic analyses of CON and MO fetal baboon livers revealed dysregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, TCA cycle, proteasome, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis pathways in MO livers, all of which are central to fatty acid metabolism and lipid storage. The marked lipid accumulation in MO fetal livers supports our hypothesis that dysregulation of these pathways detrimentally impacts lipid management. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate the detrimental impact of MO on fetal liver development and suggest impaired hepatic function prior to birth.

Project description:Nutrient-starvation induced lipid accumulation has been reported in diverse algae, including diatoms. Molecular mechanisms underlying lipid accumulation in nutrient-starved algae are of interest to inform genetic engineering strategies aimed at improving lipid productivity. Diatom cell walls are made of nanostructured silica which is a unique feature of the group and silicon deprivation induces both growth arrest and lipid accumulation. In this work, we report the whole cell transcript level response during silicon starvation induced lipid accumulation. Analyzed mRNA from cells after 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hr of silicon starvation using the Affymetrix GeneChip whole genome tiling array. Initial analysis of gene level expression was performed using the Affymetrix Expression Console Software, version 1.1. No biological replicates were performed. 0 hr is used as a reference point.

Project description:Obesity and associated increased prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) disease is suggested to be positively modulated by a high protein (HP) diet in humans and rodents. The aim was to detect mechanisms by which a HP diet prevents hepatic lipid accumulation by means of transcriptomics. To study the acute and long term effect of a high protein ingestion on hepatic lipid accumulation under both low and high fat (HF) conditions, mice were fed combinations of high (35%) or low (10%) fat and high (50%) or normal (15%) protein diets for 1 or 12 weeks. Body composition, liver fat, VLDL production rate and gene expression were investigated. Differences in metabolic processes and functions in the liver were identified using gene set enrichment analysis on microarray data. Mice fed the HP diets developed less adiposity and decreased hepatic lipid accumulation due a combination of induced processes mainly involved in protein catabolism such as transamination, TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Feeding a HP diet can successfully prevent the development of NAFLD by using ingested energy for oxidation instead of storage. Wild type mice were fed combinations of high (35%) or low (10%) fat and high (50%) or normal (15%) protein diets for 1 or 12 weeks. After the diet intervention period, the animals were killed and liver tissue was removed. Total RNA was isolated, pooled and subjected to gene expression profiling.

Project description:Purpose: berrantly high expression of TRIM24 occurs in human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. In contrast, TRIM24 in the mouse is reportedly a liver-specific tumor suppressor. To address this dichotomy and uncover direct regulatory functions of TRIM24 in vivo, we developed a new mouse model that lacks expression of all Trim24 isoforms, as the previous model expresses normal levels of Trim24 lacking only exon 4. Methods: To produce germline-deleted Trim24dlE1 mice, deletion of the promoter and exon 1 of Trim24 was induced in Trim24LoxP mice by crossing with a zona pellucida 3-Cre line for global deletion. Liver-specific deletion (Trim24hep) was achieved by crossing with an Albumin-Cre line. Phenotypic analyses were complemented by protein, gene-specific and global RNA expression analyses and quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation. Results:Global loss of Trim24 disrupted hepatic homeostasis in 100% of mice with highly significant, decreased expression of oxidation/reduction, steroid, fatty acid and lipid metabolism genes, as well as increased expression of genes in unfolded protein, endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell cycle pathways. Trim24dlE1/dlE1 mice have markedly depleted visceral fat and, like Trim24hep/hep mice, spontaneously develop hepatic lipid-filled lesions, steatosis, hepatic injury, fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusions: TRIM24, an epigenetic co-regulator of transcription, directly and indirectly represses hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation, fibrosis and damage in the murine liver. Complete loss of Trim24 offers a model of human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, steatosis, fibrosis and development of hepatocellular carcinoma in the absence of high-fat diet or obesity.

Project description:Dietary flavonoids are supposed to be protective against cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Elevated circulating lipid levels and hepatic lipid accumulation are known risk factors for CVD. We investigated the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of the flavonoid quercetin on hepatic lipid metabolism in mice with diet induced body weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation. Adult male mice received a high-fat diet without or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin for 12 weeks. Body weight gain was 29% lower in quercetin-fed mice (p<0.01), while the energy intake was not significantly different. Quercetin supplementation reduced hepatic lipid accumulation with 71% (p<0.05). 1H nuclear magnetic resonance serum lipid profiling revealed that the supplementation lowered serum lipids (p<0.0001). Global gene expression profiling of liver showed that key target genes of the transcription factor Constitutive androstane receptor (Car; official symbol Nr1i3) were regulated, in particular Cytochrome P450 2b (Cyp2b) genes. Quercetin can decrease high-fat diet induced body weight gain, hepatic lipid accumulation and serum lipid levels, which might be explained by the regulation of Cytochrome P450 genes under transcriptional control of CAR, an effect which is likely dependent on dietary background. Liver samples were obtained from 24 C57BL/6J male adult mice. All mice started with a three week adaptation phase, in which they were fed a normal-fat diet. During the intervention of 12 weeks, the mice received a high-fat diet without (HF) or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin (HF-Q). Based on visual inspection, three arrays lacked homogenous hybridization and were therefore excluded.
