Impact of short-term high-fat feeding on lipid droplet content in mouse oocytes.

ABSTRACT: Mature mammalian oocytes contain lipid droplets (LDs), which are neutral lipid storage organelles critically important for energy metabolism. In mice, maternal obesity, induced by long-term (> 3 months) high-fat feeding, contributes to the accumulation of LDs in mature oocytes. However, few studies have investigated the influence of short-term high-fat feeding on LD content. In this study, we demonstrated that 3 weeks of high-fat feeding is sufficient to increase LD content and intracellular triacylglycerol levels. Using a two-step centrifugation technique to release LDs into the perivitelline space, we found that short-term high-fat feeding increased the level of LDs in MII oocytes and that 3 days of high-fat feeding were sufficient to increase efficiency of LD release. Collectively, our study suggests that short-term high fat feeding can have a higher impact on lipid metabolism during oocyte maturation.

Mouse Hepatic Lipid Droplet Proteome under Fasting and Re-Feeding

Project description:One of the key functions of the mammalian liver is lipid metabolism. During fasting, lipid storage in the liver increases in order to reserve and provide energy for cellular functions. Upon re-feeding, this reserve of lipids is rapidly depleted; this change is visible, as the organelles responsible for lipid storage – lipid droplets (LDs) – drastically decrease in size following re-feeding. Little is known regarding LD proteome, or how it changes during the fasting/re-feeding transition. Our study investigated the hepatic LD proteome and how it changes between fasting and re-feeding conditions. For this purpose, LDs were isolated from 4 month-old C57BL/6 mice after a 24 hour fasting period, or a 24 hour fasting period followed by 6 hours of re-feeding. Proteins isolated from these LDs were subject to SDS-PAGE followed by in-gel trypsinization and LC-MS/MS. We identified a combined total of 941 proteins on hepatic LDs, of which 817 had quantifiable extracted ion chromatograms in at least 2 samples (n=6 total) and were not deemed contaminants. 777 of the 817 proteins were observed in both energetic states, with 33 being uniquely observed in fasted LDs, and 7 being uniquely observed in re-fed LDs.

Effects of β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, Berberine, and Cordycepin on Lipid Droplet Content and Developmental Ability of Vitrified Bovine Oocytes.

Project description:Oocyte vitrification is crucial for livestock reproduction, germplasm conservation, and human-assisted reproduction, but the overabundance of lipids is highly detrimental to oocyte development. It is necessary to reduce the lipid droplet content of oocytes before cryopreservation. This study analyzed the impact of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), berberine (BER), or cordycepin (COR) on various aspects of bovine oocytes, including lipid droplet content and the expression levels of genes related to lipid synthesis in bovine oocytes, development ability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, and the expression levels of genes associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial function in vitrified bovine oocytes. The results of our study indicated that 1 μM NMN, 2.5 μM BER, and 1 μM COR were effective in reducing the lipid droplet content and suppressing the expression levels of genes involved in lipid synthesis in bovine oocytes. Our findings showed that the vitrified bovine oocytes treated with 1 μM of NMN had a significantly higher survival rate and better development ability compared to the other vitrified groups. Additionally, 1 μM NMN, 2.5 μM BER, and 1 μM COR decreased the levels of ROS and apoptosis, decreased the mRNA expression levels of genes involved in ER stress and mitochondrial fission but increased the mRNA expression levels of genes associated with mitochondrial fusion in the vitrified bovine oocytes. Our study results suggested that 1 μM NMN, 2.5 μM BER, and 1 μM COR effectively decreased the lipid droplet content and enhanced the development ability of vitrified bovine oocytes by lowering ROS levels, reducing ER stress, regulating mitochondrial function, and inhibiting apoptosis. Furthermore, the results showed that 1 μM NMN was more effective than 2.5 μM BER and 1 μM COR.

TM6SF2 is a regulator of liver fat metabolism influencing triglyceride secretion and hepatic lipid droplet content.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have identified a locus on chromosome 19 associated with plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, the identity and functional role of the gene(s) responsible for these associations remain unknown. Of 19 expressed genes contained in this locus, none has previously been implicated in lipid metabolism. We performed gene expression studies and expression quantitative trait locus analysis in 206 human liver samples to identify the putative causal gene. Transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2), a gene with hitherto unknown function, expressed predominantly in liver and intestine, was identified as the putative causal gene. TM6SF2 encodes a protein of 351 amino acids with 7-10 predicted transmembrane domains. Otherwise, no other protein features were identified which could help to elucidate the function of TM6SF2. Protein subcellular localization studies with confocal microscopy demonstrated that TM6SF2 is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment of human liver cells. Functional studies for secretion of TG-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) and lipid droplet content were performed in human hepatoma Huh7 and HepG2 cells using confocal microscopy and siRNA inhibition and overexpression techniques. In agreement with the genome-wide association data, it was found that TM6SF2 siRNA inhibition was associated with reduced secretion of TRLs and increased cellular TG concentration and lipid droplet content, whereas TM6SF2 overexpression reduced liver cell steatosis. We conclude that TM6SF2 is a regulator of liver fat metabolism with opposing effects on the secretion of TRLs and hepatic lipid droplet content.

Mechanisms for increased myocardial fatty acid utilization following short-term high-fat feeding.

Project description:AimsDiet-induced obesity is associated with increased myocardial fatty acid (FA) utilization, insulin resistance, and cardiac dysfunction. The study was designed to test the hypothesis that impaired glucose utilization accounts for initial changes in FA metabolism.Methods and resultsTen-week-old C57BL6J mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD, 45% calories from fat) or normal chow (4% calories from fat). Cardiac function and substrate metabolism in isolated working hearts, glucose uptake in isolated cardiomyocytes, mitochondrial function, insulin-stimulated protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and Akt substrate (AS-160) phosphorylation, glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation, pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity, and mRNA levels for metabolic genes were determined after 2 or 5 weeks of HFD. Two weeks of HFD reduced basal rates of glycolysis and glucose oxidation and prevented insulin stimulation of glycolysis in hearts and reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes. Insulin-stimulated Akt/PKB and AS-160 phosphorylation were preserved, and PDH activity was unchanged. GLUT4 content was reduced by 55% and GLUT4 translocation was significantly attenuated. HFD increased FA oxidation rates and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2), which could not be accounted for by mitochondrial uncoupling or by increased expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) target genes, which increased only after 5 weeks of HFD.ConclusionRates of myocardial glucose utilization are altered early in the course of HFD because of reduced GLUT4 content and GLUT4 translocation despite normal insulin signalling to Akt/PKB and AS-160. The reciprocal increase in FA utilization is not due to PPAR-alpha-mediated signalling or mitochondrial uncoupling. Thus, the initial increase in myocardial FA utilization in response to HFD likely results from impaired glucose transport that precedes impaired insulin signalling.

Mouse fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2 (FIT2) promotes lipid droplet accumulation in plants.

Project description:Fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2 (FIT2) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized protein that plays an important role in lipid droplet (LD) formation in animal cells. However, no obvious homologue of FIT2 is found in plants. Here, we tested the function of FIT2 in plant cells by ectopically expressing mouse (Mus musculus) FIT2 in Nicotiana tabacum suspension-cultured cells, Nicotiana benthamiana leaves and Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Confocal microscopy indicated that the expression of FIT2 dramatically increased the number and size of LDs in leaves of N. benthamiana and Arabidopsis, and lipidomics analysis and mass spectrometry imaging confirmed the accumulation of neutral lipids in leaves. FIT2 also increased seed oil content by ~13% in some stable, overexpressing lines of Arabidopsis. When expressed transiently in leaves of N. benthamiana or suspension cells of N. tabacum, FIT2 localized specifically to the ER and was often concentrated at certain regions of the ER that resembled ER-LD junction sites. FIT2 also colocalized at the ER with other proteins known to be involved in triacylglycerol biosynthesis or LD formation in plants, but not with ER resident proteins involved in electron transfer or ER-vesicle exit sites. Collectively, these results demonstrate that mouse FIT2 promotes LD accumulation in plants, a surprising functional conservation in the context of a plant cell given the apparent lack of FIT2 homologues in higher plants. These results suggest also that FIT2 expression represents an effective synthetic biology strategy for elaborating neutral lipid compartments in plant tissues for potential biofuel or bioproduct purposes.

Differential expression of glycoprotein IV on monocyte subsets following high-fat diet feeding and the impact of short-term low-dose aspirin treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess the levels of glycoprotein GPIV (CD36) expression on peripheral blood monocyte subsets, in a mouse model of glucose intolerance. Moreover, to determine the effect of; low-dose aspirin (LDA) alone, LDA combined with metformin, or clopidogrel alone, on the expression of CD36 on subsets of circulating monocytes.MethodThe study consisted of two experimental phases. In experiment one, the mice (n = 14) were randomised to receive a low-fat diet (LFD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) for eight weeks. Whereas the secondary phase of the experiment, comprised of twenty-four HFD-fed mice treated with LDA alone (3 mg/kg), or in combination with metformin (150 mg/kg), or clopidogrel alone (10 mg/kg) for six weeks. The surface expression of CD36 on monocytes was measured using flow cytometry.ResultThe levels of CD36 expression on monocytes were upregulated in the HFD-fed compared to LFD-fed group (p < 0.05). In addition, HFD group showed; no significant changes in body weight (p = 0.3848), however, blood glucose (p = 0.0002) and insulin (p = 0.0360) levels were markedly increased following HFD-feeding. Interestingly, all treatments reduced the expression of CD36 on monocytes, decreased fasting blood glucose levels (p = 0.0024) and increased circulating monocyte levels (p = 0.0217) when compared to the untreated HFD group. Moreover, treatment with LDA alone increased basophils levels (p = 0.0272), while when combined with metformin showed an improved effect in enhancing eosinophil levels (p = 0.0302).ConclusionHFD-feeding increased the expression of CD36 on monocyte subsets. LDA as a monotherapy or combined with metformin was as effective as clopidogrel monotherapy, in downregulating the expression of CD36 on monocyte subsets. These treatments may be of relevance in preventing cardiovascular complications associated with impaired glucose tolerance.

Correlations of Fat Content in Human Milk with Fat Droplet Size and Phospholipid Species.

Project description:Fat globule size and phospholipid (PL) content in human milk (HM) were investigated. HM was classified into three groups depending on fat content (A < B < C). PL content (mg/100 g HM) was significantly higher in the C group (p < 0.05), indicating its positive relationship with HM fat content. When the PL content was normalized (mg/g fat), that of group A was significantly higher (p < 0.05) and fat droplet size in group C was slightly larger, suggesting that HM fat content is affected by fat droplet numbers to a larger extent than by fat droplet size. A correlation between PC and SM content in HM was observed regardless of fat content, while correlation between PE and either PC or SM increased in the order of C > B > A, hence the composition and content of PL species in HM varied according to its fat content.

Short-Term Time-Restricted Feeding Alters Rhythmicity of Lipid and Amino Acid Metabolites in Overweight Men

Project description:Time-restricted feeding improves metabolic health independently of dietary macronutrient composition or energy restriction. To understand the mechanisms underpinning the effects of time-restricted feeding, we investigated the metabolic and transcriptomic profile of skeletal muscle and serum samples from 11 overweight/obese men. In muscle, 4-10% of transcripts and 14% of metabolites were periodic, with the amplitude of the metabolites lower after time-restricted feeding. Core clock genes were unaltered by either intervention, while time-restricted feeding induced rhythmicity of genes related to lipid and amino acid transport. In serum, 49-65% of the metabolites had diurnal rhythms across both conditions, with the majority being lipids. Time-restricted feeding shifted the skeletal muscle metabolite profile from predominantly lipids to amino acids. Our results show time-restricted feeding differentially affects the amplitudes and rhythmicity of serum and skeletal muscle metabolites, and regulates the rhythmicity of genes controlling lipid and amino acid transport, without perturbing the core clock.

Short-term dynamics and metabolic impact of abdominal fat depots after bariatric surgery.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Bariatric surgery is gaining acceptance as an efficient treatment modality for obese patients. Mechanistic explanations regarding the effects of bariatric surgery on body composition and fat distribution are still limited. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:Intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat depots were evaluated using computed tomography in 27 obese patients prior to and 6 months following bariatric surgery. Associations with anthropometric and clinical changes were evaluated. RESULTS:Excess weight loss 6 months following surgery was 47% in male and 42.6% in female subjects. Visceral fat and subcutaneous fat were reduced by 35% and 32%, respectively, in both sexes, thus the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio remained stable. The strongest relation between absolute and relative changes in visceral and subcutaneous fat was demonstrated for the excess weight loss following the operations (r approximately 0.6-0.7), and these relations were strengthened further following adjustments for sex, baseline BMI, and fat mass. Changes in waist circumference and fat mass had no relation to changes in abdominal fat depots. All participants met the criteria of the metabolic syndrome at baseline, and 18 lost the diagnosis on follow-up. A lower baseline visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (0.43 +/- 0.15 vs. 0.61 +/- 0.21, P = 0.02) was associated with clinical resolution of metabolic syndrome parameters. CONCLUSIONS:The ratio between visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat remains fairly constant 6 months following bariatric procedures regardless of sex, procedure performed, or presence of metabolic complications. A lower baseline visceral-to-abdominal fat ratio is associated with improvement in metabolic parameters.
