Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) Freeze-Dried Powder Protects against High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity, Lipid Metabolism Disorders by Modulating the Gut Microbiota of Mice.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder on high-fat diet-induced obesity and related lipid metabolism disorders, and further explored if this improvement is associated with gut microbiota. Results showed that seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder administration decreased body weight, Lee's index, adipose tissue weight, liver weight, and serum lipid levels. Moreover, treatment with seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder effectively reduced fat accumulation by modulating the relative expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism through down-regulation of encoding lipogenic and store genes, including SREBP-1c, PPAR-?, ACC, and SCD1, and up-regulation of regulating genes of fatty acid oxidation, including HSL, CPT-1, and ACOX. Especially, seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder regulated the composition of gut microbiota, such as increasing the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes, decreasing relative abundance of harmful bacteria (Desulfovibrio), and increasing relative abundance of beneficial bacteria (Akkermansia and Bacteroides). The changes of beneficial bacteria had a positive correlation with genes encoding lipolysis and a negative correlation with genes encoding lipid lipogenesis and store. The harmful bacteria were just the opposite. Besides, changes in gut microbiota had an obvious effect in the secretion of main metabolites-short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially propionic acid. Thus, our results indicated that the seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder could ameliorate high-fat diet-induced obesity and obesity-associated lipid metabolism disorders by changing the composition and structure of gut microbiota.

Project description:Purpose: Tag-based approach for global gene expression analysis has been revolutionised with the advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The aim of the present study is to present comprehensive view of differentially expressed genes under cold and freeze stress in seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) Methods: DeepSAGE, a tag based approach, was used to identify differentially expressed genes under cold and freeze treatments in seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). The 30 days old plantlets, at six leaves stage, were subjected to cold stress (CS) at 4°C and freeze stress (FS) at -10°C treatment for 6 hr. The seedlings grown at 28°C were taken as control (CON). Total RNA from all the three samples was isolated. Illumina Gene Expression Sample Prep Kit and Solexa Sequencing Chip (Flowcell) were used for tag preparation and the main instruments used for sequencing included Illumina Cluster Station and Illumina HiSeqTM 2000 System. Bioinformatics analysis resulted in to high number of differentially expressed genes under cold and freeze stress. Results: 36.2 million raw tags including 13.9 million distinct tags were generated from three leaf tissue libraries (control, cold stress and freeze stress). After removing low quality tags, 35.5 million clean tags including 7 million distinct clean tags were obtained. In total, 11922 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified including 6539 up regulated and 5383 down regulated genes. Conclusions: DeepSAGE data of seabuckthorn provided useful resource and reference dataset for further functional genomics analysis in seabuckthorn and other important crops. The present study implicated a large number of genes with different biological functions expressing differentially in response to cold and freeze stress treatment. Isolation and further characterization of these genes will help researchers in understanding their role in cold and freeze tolerance in seabuckthorn and may provide important gene resources to be exploited for the development of stress tolerant crop plants in future.
