Expression data from liver of young and old rats fed on different dietary fat sources, namely virgin olive, sunflower or fish oils

ABSTRACT: Since the liver is the central organ of metabolism, changes in diet have a great impact on this organ and overall on health with aging. It is well known that dietary fat source strongly influences many parameters of the hepatic mitochondria. These changes includes modification of lipid composition of mitochondrial membrane, affecting the mtETC functions, oxidative stress and mtDNA alterations. We used microarrays to detail the changes in gene expression provides by feeding lifelong on different dietary fat sources, and identified distinct classes of up and down-regulated genes during aging under different dietary conditions. Rats were fed lifelong on a normolipidic diet (4% w/w) with virgin olive, sunflower or fish oil as dietary fat source. At 6 and 24 months, animals were killed and liver were removed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain changes in gene expression due to both aging and dietary conditions. There were 6 experimental groups (virgin olive oil at 6 months, sunflower oil at 6 months, fish oil at 6 months, virgin olive oil at 24 months, sunflower oil at 24 months and fish oil at 24 months. 3 animals were studied of each experimental group, so a total of 18 samples were analyzed.

Project description:Some studies have shown that acute intake of high-phenol virgin olive oil reduces pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant and pro-thrombotic states, but nowadays still remains unclear if those effects attributed to its phenolic fraction could be exerted at transcriptional level in vivo. Two virgin olive oil-based breakfasts with high (398 ppm) and low (70 ppm) content of phenolic compounds were administered to twenty patients (9 men and 11 women) with metabolic syndrome following a double-blinded random crossover design. Prior to the first breakfast intervention, participants followed a 6-week washout period in which they were instructed to not take vitamins, soy supplements, or any drug. To eliminate the potential effect that might exist in their usual dietary habits, all subjects followed a low-fat, carbohydrate rich (CHO) diet during this period and untill the end of the study. In the 24 h before each breakfast intervention, participants were instructed to avoid consuming phenol-rich foods such as fruit or juices, wine, grape juice, chocolate, coffee, tea, olive oil, or soya, and to refrain from intense physical exercise during that period. After a 12 h fasting and following a randomized sequential crossover design with one-week washout period, participants reported to the hospital and received two fat meals consisting of 60 g of white bread, 40 mL of VOO (CANOLIVA®, Antonio Cano e Hijos™, Córdoba, Spain) with high (398 ppm) or low (70 ppm) content in phenolic compounds, and 60,000 IU of vitamin A per m2 of body surface. Olive oil with low content in phenolic compounds was obtained as a result of extraction by physical procedures of most of the phenolic compounds in the high-phenol olive oil, so that both oils kept a similar composition of the remaining macro- and micronutrients. Throughout the 4-h duration of the study, the subjects performed no physical activity, nor did they consume anything but water. Gene expression was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at postprandial period (4 hours after breakfast) by microarray analysis and verified by qRT-PCR. Two sets of dye-swaped experiments were performed making a total of four technical replicates per subject. Each of the hybridizations compared total RNA from PBMCs obtained 4h after the intake of virgin olive oil with high phenolic content vs. total RNA from PBMCs obtained 4h after low-phenol virgin olive oil consumption.
