Lipid profiling and transcriptomic analysis reveals a functional interplay between estradiol and growth hormone in liver.

ABSTRACT: 17?-estradiol (E2) may interfere with endocrine, metabolic, and gender-differentiated functions in liver in both females and males. Indirect mechanisms play a crucial role because of the E2 influence on the pituitary GH secretion and the GHR-JAK2-STAT5 signaling pathway in the target tissues. E2, through its interaction with the estrogen receptor, exerts direct effects on liver. Hypothyroidism also affects endocrine and metabolic functions of the liver, rendering a metabolic phenotype with features that mimic deficiencies in E2 or GH. In this work, we combined the lipid and transcriptomic analysis to obtain comprehensive information on the molecular mechanisms of E2 effects, alone and in combination with GH, to regulate liver functions in males. We used the adult hypothyroid-orchidectomized rat model to minimize the influence of internal hormones on E2 treatment and to explore its role in male-differentiated functions. E2 influenced genes involved in metabolism of lipids and endo-xenobiotics, and the GH-regulated endocrine, metabolic, immune, and male-specific responses. E2 induced a female-pattern of gene expression and inhibited GH-regulated STAT5b targeted genes. E2 did not prevent the inhibitory effects of GH on urea and amino acid metabolism-related genes. The combination of E2 and GH decreased transcriptional immune responses. E2 decreased the hepatic content of saturated fatty acids and induced a transcriptional program that seems to be mediated by the activation of PPAR?. In contrast, GH inhibited fatty acid oxidation. Both E2 and GH replacements reduced hepatic CHO levels and increased the formation of cholesterol esters and triacylglycerols. Notably, the hepatic lipid profiles were endowed with singular fingerprints that may be used to segregate the effects of different hormonal replacements. In summary, we provide in vivo evidence that E2 has a significant impact on lipid content and transcriptome in male liver and that E2 exerts a marked influence on GH physiology, with implications in human therapy.

Project description:The subject of this study was to explore the optimum requirements of loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) regarding dietary proteins and lipids and discuss the underlying mechanism. We designed nine diets to determine the effects of different levels of dietary crude protein (CP: 30%, 35%, and 40%) and ether extract (EE: 6%, 10%, and 14%) on the growth performance and metabolism of P. dabryanus. In total, 2160 healthy P. dabryanus (5.19 ± 0.01 g) were divided into nine groups with four replications at 60 fish per barrel stocking density. The trial lasted for eight weeks. Serum and liver samples were gathered for metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses. The results showed that the specific growth rate of P. dabryanus in the CP40EE10 group was the fastest and notably higher than that in other groups (P< 0.05). Analysis of the metabolome results found that the mTOR signaling pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolism, D-arginine and D-ornithine metabolism were significantly enriched pathways in the CP40EE10 group compared with the other groups (P< 0.05). Moreover, the transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed that the expression of ARG (arginase) involved in protein synthesis was significantly upregulated in the CP40EE10 group compared to the slowest growing group (P< 0.05). Additionally, the expression of SPLA2 (secretory phospholipase A2) involved in lipid metabolism and FBP (fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) involved in glucose metabolism were all significantly downregulated in the CP30EE6 group compared with the CP40EE10 group (P< 0.05). Furthermore, the analysis of differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) and DEGs co-enriched in the KEGG pathway revealed that the significantly enriched pathways were arginine and proline metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis in CP40EE10 compared with other groups (P< 0.05). We conclude that including 40% CP and 10% EE in the P. dabryanus diet could result in a better growth rate. We hypothesized from metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses that the CP40EE10 diet might promote the growth of P. dabryanus by promoting protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and energy production.

Project description:E2 and GH are critical regulators of growth and intermediate metabolism in mammals. Hypothyroidism causes endocrine and metabolic disturbances in the liver with features that mimic deficiencies of E2 or GH signalling. In this work, we used the hypothyroid-orchiectomized (TXOX) adult rat model to evaluate the influence of E2 and GH on the liver in terms of global changes in gene expression. This study shows the changes in hepatic transcriptome that were provoked by E2 benzoate (50 ug/kg; sc; 5 days per week x 27 days), intermittent GH administration (0.3 mg/kg/day;sc injection divided into two daily injections x 7 days) or the combination of E2 plus GH in TXOX rats. E2 influenced the liver transcriptome, particularly genes involved in metabolism of lipids and endo-xenobiotics, and the GH-regulated endocrine, metabolic, gender, and immune responses. E2 did not prevent the inhibitory effects of GH on urea and amino acid metabolism-related genes. Notably, the combination of E2 and GH caused deleterious effects on transcriptional immune response. These results highlight the role of E2 as a critical regulator of liver metabolism in mammals and provide insights into the functional interplay between E2 and GH in the liver. Groups=4; Biological replicates = 4 per group; Samples=16; Reference samples=TXOX group. Adult (3 months old) male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=4 per group) were used throughout these experiments. The generation of TXOX was performed by adding methimazole (MMI; 0.05%) to the drinking water for 5 weeks starting on postnatal day (PND) 59 until sacrifice on PND94. Two weeks after starting MMI administration, male rats were castrated (OX) to make TXOX rats. Four days after OX, we began treatment with E2 benzoate (TXOXE2) or vehicle (TXOX) to TXOX rats for 20 days followed for 7 days by either vehicle plus GH (TXOXGH) or by E2 plus GH (TXOXE2GH). Twenty-four hours (in the case of E2) or twelve hours (in the case of GH) after the last injection, the animals were killed by exsanguinations. Portions of the liver were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until processed for mRNA analysis.
