Transcription profiling of mouse strains A/J versus C57BL/6J during diet-induced obesity

ABSTRACT: The effects of high-fat (HF) feeding on the gene expression in the small intestine were examined using obesity-resistant A/J mice and obesity-sensitive C57BL/6J (B6) mice. Both strains of mice were maintained on low-fat (LF, 5% fat) or HF (30% fat) diets for two weeks. Oligonucleotide microarray and semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that lipid metabolism-related genes including mitochondrial acyl-CoA thioesterase 1, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4, and NADP+-dependent cytosolic malic enzyme were up-regulated by more than 2-fold in both strains of mice. The up-regulated gene expression levels were significantly higher in A/J mice than in B6 mice, suggesting the active lipid metabolism in the small intestine of A/J mice. Experiment Overall Design: Mice were maintained on the LF or HF diet for two weeks. For each group (n=6), pooled total RNA from two mice of average body weight was used for the analysis.

The effects of high-fat (HF) feeding on gene expression in the small intestine were examined using obesity-resistant A/J mice and obesity-prone C57BL/6J (B6) mice. Both strains of mice were maintained on low-fat (LF; 5% fat) or HF (30% fat) diets for 2 wk. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis revealed that lipid metabolism-related genes, including carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I, liver fatty acid binding protein, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4, and NADP(+)-dependent cytosolic ...[more]

Project description:We studied the effect of dietary fat type, varying in polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio's (P/S) on development of metabolic syndrome. C57Bl/6J mice were fed purified high-fat diets (45E% fat) containing palm oil (HF-PO; P/S 0.4), olive oil (HF-OO; P/S 1.1) or safflower oil (HF-SO; P/S 7.8) for 8 weeks. A low-fat palm oil diet (LF-PO; 10E% fat) was used as a reference. Additionally, we analyzed diet-induced changes in gut microbiota composition and mucosal gene expression. The HF-PO diet induced a higher body weight gain and liver triglyceride content compared to the HF-OO, HF-SO or LF-PO diet. In the intestine, the HF-PO diet reduced microbial diversity and increased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Although this fits a typical obesity profile, our data clearly indicate that an overflow of the HF-PO diet to the distal intestine, rather than obesity itself, is the main trigger for these gut microbiota changes. A HF-PO diet-induced elevation of lipid metabolism-related genes in the distal small intestine confirmed the overflow of palm oil to the distal intestine. Some of these lipid metabolism-related genes were previously already associated with the metabolic syndrome. In conclusion, our data indicate that saturated fat (HF-PO) has a more stimulatory effect on weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation than unsaturated fat (HF-OO and HF-SO). The overflow of fat to the distal intestine on the HF-PO diet induced changes in gut microbiota composition and mucosal gene expression. We speculate that both are directly or indirectly contributive to the saturated fat-induced development of obesity and hepatic steatosis. Keywords: Diet intervention study Nine-week-old C57Bl/6J mice were fed a low-fat diet (LF-PO) and three different types of high-fat diet, based on palm oil (HF-PO; P/S1.0), olive oil (HF-OO; P/S4.6) and safflower oil (HF-SO; P/S10.1) for 8 weeks. Body weight was recorded weekly and after 7 weeks of diet intervention an oral glucose tolerance test was performed. After 2 weeks of diet intervention, 6 mice per high-fat diet group were anaesthetized with a mixture of isofluorane (1.5%), nitrous oxide (70%) and oxygen (30%) and the small intestines were excised. Adhering fat and pancreatic tissue were carefully removed. The small intestines were divided in three equal parts along the proximal to distal axis (SI 1, SI 2 and SI 3) and microarray analysis was performed on mucosal scrapings.

Project description:Obesity and insulin resistance are two major risk factors underlying the metabolic syndrome. To gain more insight in the role of the small intestine in the etiology of these metabolic disorders, a microarray study was performed on small intestines (SI) of C57BL/6J mice that were fed a high fat diet mimicking the fatty acid composition of a Western-style human diet. The mice became obese and developed dietary fat-induced glucose intolerance. For gene expression profiling, the small intestines were subdivided in three equal parts along the longitudinal axis. The most pronounced effects of dietary fat were detected in part 2 of the small intestine. The biological processes that were most extensively modulated on a high fat diet were related to lipid metabolism, especially Î²- and Ï-fatty acid oxidation seemed to play an important role, cell cycle and inflammation/immune response. An additional secretome analysis revealed differentially expressed secreted proteins, such as Il18, Ffgf15, Mif, Igfbp3 and Angptl4, which might provoke systemic effects in peripheral organs by influencing their metabolic homeostasis. Furthermore, many of the dietary fat-modulated genes and biological processes in small intestine were previously already associated with obesity and/or insulin resistance. Together, the data of this exploratory study provided various leads for an essential role of the small intestine in development of obesity and/or insulin resistance. Experiment Overall Design: After a run-in period of 3 weeks on a low-fat diet, 9 weeks old mice were fed a high- (HF) or a low-fat (LF) purified diet for 2, 4, and 8 weeks (n=6 per diet, per time point). Body weight was recorded weekly and after 7 weeks of diet intervention an oral glucose tolerance test was performed. At the end of the experiment, mice were anaesthetized with a mixture of isofluorane (1.5%), nitrous oxide (70%) and oxygen (30%). The small intestines were excised and the adhering fat and pancreatic tissue were carefully removed. The small intestines were divided in three equal parts along the proximal to distal axis (SI 1, SI 2 and SI 3).
