MiR-101b Regulates Lipid Deposition and Metabolism of Primary Hepatocytes in Teleost Yellow Catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco.

ABSTRACT: Excessive fat deposition in the hepatocytes, associated with excess dietary fat intake, was related to the occurrence of fatty livers in fish. miR-101b plays the important roles in controlling lipid metabolism, but the underlying mechanism at the post-transcriptional level remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the roles and mechanism of miR-101b-mediating lipid deposition and metabolism in yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. We found that miR-101b directly targeted fatty acid translocase (cd36), caspase9 (casp9) and autophagy-related gene 4A (atg4a). Furthermore, using palmitic acid (PA) or oleic acid (OA) to incubate the primary hepatocytes of yellow catfish, we demonstrated that miR-101b inversely regulated cd36, casp9, and atg4a expression at the transcriptional level; the inhibition of miR-101b aggravated fatty acids (FAs, PA or OA)-induced lipid accumulation, indicating that miR-101b mediated FAs-induced variations of lipid metabolism in yellow catfish. Taken together, our study gave novel insight into the regulatory mechanism of lipid deposition and metabolism and might provide potential targets for the prevention and treatment of fatty livers in fish.

Project description:Although several studies have been conducted to study leptin function, information is very scarce on the molecular mechanism of leptin in fatty acid β-oxidation and oocytes maturation in fish. In this study, we investigated the potential role of fatty acid β-oxidation in leptin-mediated oocytes maturation in Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. Exp. 1 investigated the transcriptomic profiles of ovary and the differential expression of genes involved in β-oxidation and oocytes maturation following rt-hLEP injection; rt-hLEP injection was associated with significant changes in the expression of genes, including twenty-five up-regulated genes (CPT1, Acsl, Acadl, Acadm, Hadhb, Echsl, Hsd17b4, Acca, PPARα, CYP8B1, ACOX1, ACBP, MAPK, RINGO, Cdc2, MEK1, IGF-1R, APC/C, Cdk2, GnRHR, STAG3, SMC1, FSHβ and C-Myc) and ten down-regulated gene (PPARγ, FATCD36, UBC, PDK1, Acads, Raf, Fizzy, C3H-4, Raf and PKC), involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and oocytes maturation. In Exp. 2, rt-hLEP and specific inhibitors AG490 (JAK-STAT inhibitor) were used to explore whether leptin induced oocytes maturation, and found that leptin incubation increased the diameters of oocytes and percentage of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD)-MII oocytes, up-regulated mRNA levels of genes involved in oocytes maturation and that leptin-induced oocyte maturation was related to activation of JAK-STAT pathway. In Exp. 3, primary oocytes of P. fulvidraco were treated with (R)-(+)-etomoxir (an inhibitor of β-oxidation) or l-carnitine (an enhancer of β-oxidation) for 48 h under rt-hLEP incubation. Exp. 3 indicated that the inhibition of fatty acid β-oxidation resulted in the down-regulation of gene expression involved in oocytes maturation, and repressed the leptin-induced up-regulation of these gene expression. Activation of fatty acid β-oxidation improved the maturation rate and mean diameter of oocytes, and up-regulated gene expression involved in oocytes maturation. Leptin is one of the main factors that links fatty acid β-oxidation with oocyte maturation; β-oxidation is essential for leptin-mediated oocyte maturation in fish.
