Enhanced peroxisomal ?-oxidation metabolism in visceral adipose tissues of high-fat diet-fed obesity-resistant C57BL/6 mice.


ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of natural resistance to high-fat diet-induced obesity. Four-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet for 6 weeks and were then designated as high-fat diet-fed obesity-prone (HOP) and obesity-resistant (HOR) animals. Their blood biochemistry was evaluated, and visceral adipose tissue samples were subjected to proteomic, Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) analyses. The HOR mice showed reduced visceral fat weight and size, as well as lowered serum lipid and leptin levels. Proteomic analysis showed that enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1, peroxisomal (Ech1) expression was significantly increased in their visceral adipose tissues. Moreover, other proteins, such as ?-tropomyosin, myosin light chain, urine-nucleoside phosphorylase and transgelin, were also significantly increased. Furthermore, q-PCR analysis showed that the expression of acyl-CoA oxidase 1 palmitoyl, enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase responsible for peroxisomal ?-oxidation was also up-regulated in the visceral adipose tissues of the HOR mice. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?) was increased in the HOR mice as shown by Western blot analysis. Obesity-resistant animals show enhanced peroxisomal ?-oxidation metabolism and reduced fat accumulation in visceral adipose tissues by up-regulating the expression of Ech1, peroxisomal or other related peroxisomal ?-oxidation marker genes, which may be driven or enhanced by the up-regulation of the expression of PPAR?. However, further validation in future studies is required.
