Identification of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) Gene Interactions in Korean Native Cattle Based on the Multifactor-dimensionality Reduction Method.

ABSTRACT: Fat quality is determined by the composition of fatty acids. Genetic relationships between this composition and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the stearoyl-CoA desaturase1 (SCD1) gene were examined using 513 Korean native cattle. Single and epistatic effects of 7 SNP genetic variations were investigated, and the multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was used to investigate gene interactions in terms of oleic acid (C18:1), mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and marbling score (MS). The g.6850+77 A>G and g.14047 C>T SNP interactions were identified as the statistically optimal combination (C18:1, MUFAs and MS permutation p-values were 0.000, 0.000 and 0.001 respectively) of two-way gene interactions. The interaction effects of g.6850+77 A>G, g.10213 T>C and g.14047 C>T reflected the highest training-balanced accuracy (63.76%, 64.70% and 61.85% respectively) and was better than the individual effects for C18:1, MUFAs and MS. In addition, the superior genotype groups were AATTCC, AGTTCC, GGTCCC, AGTCCT, GGCCCT and AGCCTT. These results suggest that the selected SNP combination of the SCD1 gene and superior genotype groups can provide useful inferences for the improvement of the fatty acid composition in Korean native cattle.

Project description:Heart failure is a major cause of death worldwide with insufficient treatment options. In the search for pathomechanisms, we found up-regulation of an enzyme, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1), in different experimental models of heart failure induced by advanced atherosclerosis, chronic pressure overload, and/or volume overload. Because the pathophysiological role of Scd1/SCD in heart failure is not clear, we investigated the impact of cardiac SCD upregulation through the generation of C57BL/6-Tg(MHCSCD)Sjaa mice with myocardium-specific expression of SCD. Echocardiographic examination showed that 4.9-fold-increased SCD levels triggered cardiac hypertrophy and symptoms of heart failure at an age of eight months. Tg-SCD mice had a significantly reduced left ventricular cardiac ejection fraction of 25.7 ± 2.9% compared to 54.3 ± 4.5% of non-transgenic B6 control mice. Whole-genome gene expression profiling identified up-regulated heart-failure-related genes such as resistin, adiponectin, and fatty acid synthase, and type 1 and 3 collagens. Tg-SCD mice were characterized by cardiac lipid accumulation with 1.6- and 1.7-fold-increased cardiac contents of saturated lipids, palmitate, and stearate, respectively. In contrast, unsaturated lipids were not changed. Together with saturated lipids, apoptosis-enhancing p53 protein contents were elevated. Imaging by autoradiography revealed that the heart-failure-promoting and membrane-spanning angiotensin II AT1 receptor protein of Tg-SCD hearts was significantly up-regulated. In transfected HEK cells, the expression of SCD increased the number of cell-surface angiotensin II AT1 receptor binding sites. In addition, increased AT1 receptor protein levels were detected by fluorescence spectroscopy of fluorescent protein-labeled AT1 receptor-Cerulean. Taken together, we found that SCD promotes cardiac dysfunction with overload of cardiotoxic saturated lipids and up-regulation of the heart-failure-promoting AT1 receptor protein.
