Project description:Decay of mRNAs initiates with shortening of the poly(A) tail. Although the CCR4-NOT complex participates in deadenylation, how it becomes activates remain obscure. We show that complete deficiency in CNOT3, subunit 3 of this complex, is lethal in mice, but that heterozygotes survive as lean mice with hepatic and adipose tissues containing reduced lipid levels. Cnot3+/- mice have enhanced metabolic rates and remain lean on high-fat diets. We further provide evidence suggesting that CNOT3, by changing its level in response to feeding conditions, affects the activity of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase against poly(A) tails of specific mRNAs coding for proteins involved in metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Because the levels of CNOT3 protein were decreased under fasting conditions and increased upon refeeding and because CNOT3 could be a positive regulator of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase, we hypothesized that the levels of CCR4-NOT target mRNAs would be lower in fed mice than in fasted mice. We compared the gene expression profiles of fed and fasted wild-type mice. Microarray analysis revealed that approximately 1,200 mRNA transcripts were down-regulated in the livers of fed mice. Of these mRNAs, 68 corresponded to the genes up-regulated in the livers of Cnot3+/- mice and fasted wild-type mice. A large number of the 68 identified genes encoded proteins involved in metabolism, especially lipid metabolism and growth. The livers were isolated from 8-week-old fed wild-type, fasted wild-type and fasted Cnot3+/- mice (n = 2 for each genotype).
Project description:The ketogenic diet has been successful in promoting weight loss among patients that have struggled with weight gain. This is due to the cellular switch in metabolism that utilizes liver-derived ketone bodies for the primary energy source rather than glucose. Fatty acid transport protein 2 (FATP2) is highly expressed in liver, small intestine, and kidney where it functions in both the transport of exogenous long chain fatty acids (LCFA) and in the activation to CoA thioesters of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA). We have completed a multi-omic study of FATP2-null (Fatp2-/-) mice maintained on a ketogenic diet (KD) or paired control diet (CD), with and without a 24-hour fast (KD-fasted and CD-fasted) to address the impact of deleting FATP2 under high-stress conditions. Control (wt/wt) and Fatp2-/- mice were maintained on their respective diets for 4-weeks. Afterwards, half the population was sacrificed while the remaining were fasted for 24-hours prior to sacrifice. We then performed paired-end RNA-sequencing on the whole liver tissue to investigate differential gene expression. The differentially expressed genes mapped to ontologies such as the metabolism of amino acids and derivatives, fatty acid metabolism, protein localization, and components of the immune system’s complement cascade, and were supported by the proteome and histological staining.

Project description:The aim of this study was to assess whether chronic treatment with RPV can modulate the progression of chronic liver disease, especially of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), through a nutritional model in wild-type mice Mice were daily treated with RPV (p.o.) and fed with normal or high fat diet during 3 months to induce fatty liver disease

Project description:Expression data from the liver of wild-type and Cnot3+/- mice
Project description:Decay of mRNAs initiates with shortening of the poly(A) tail. Although the CCR4-NOT complex participates in deadenylation, how it becomes activates remain obscure. We show that complete deficiency in CNOT3, subunit 3 of this complex, is lethal in mice, but that heterozygotes survive as lean mice with hepatic and adipose tissues containing reduced lipid levels. Cnot3+/- mice have enhanced metabolic rates and remain lean on high-fat diets. To examine the underlying mechanisms by which CNOT3 is involved in the control of metabolic balance, we compared the gene expression profiles of wild-type and Cnot3+/- mice using Affymetrix microarray technology. We chose to analyze the liver because the CNOT3 level in the liver was affected by the feeding condition and because the liver plays a major role in glucose and lipid metabolism. The livers were isolated from 12-week-old wild-type and Cnot3+/- mice (n = 2 for each genotype).
