Transcriptomic Analysis on Lipid Loaded HepaRG Model for Steatosis Reveal the Influence on the Regulation of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes and Transporters

ABSTRACT: The present study was aimed to mimic steatosis in in-vitro HepaRG model and test the effect of lipid loading on drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMET) in steatosis. HepaRG cells, differentiated in-house were exposed to mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, 0.5 mM palmitate and oleate (1:2) conjugated to BSA (0.02%) for 72h. Following the incubation, the model system was characterized using ORO staining for neutral lipids, tested for toxicity with WST-1 assay and triglyceride (TAG) accumulation was measured using TAG calorimetric assay. Increased lipid accumulation and 6-fold increase in TAG was observed (P < 0.05, n=4). The whole transcriptome was analyzed using RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed transcripts were identified upon FA treatment versus (vs.) control in HepaRG cell line (393 total transcripts, 89 up- and 304 downregulated). Lipid loading, led to significant down-regulation in gene expression levels of various DMET, nuclear receptors and transcription factors such as CYP3A4, 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9 and 2C19, along with this UGT1A9, UGT1A6, ABCB1, NR1I2 and HNF4α (P < 0.05, n=3). The accumulation of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids may selectively inhibit certain DME pathways.

Project description:The oleaginous green microalga Neochloris oleoabundans accumulates both starch and lipids to high levels under stress conditions such as nitrogen starvation. In order to steer the metabolism towards starch or lipids only, it is important to understand the mechanisms behind it. In this study physiological changes and gene expression upon nitrogen starvation were analysed in controlled flat-panel photobioreactors over both short- and long-term time-scales. Starch accumulation is transient and occurs rapidly within 24 hrs upon starvation, while lipid accumulation lasts longer and reaches a maximum after 4 days. The major fraction of accumulated lipids is composed of de novo synthesized neutral lipids - triacylglycerides (TAG) - and is characterized by a decreased composition of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) C18:3 and C16:3 and an increased composition of the mono-unsaturated and saturated fatty acids C18:1/C16:1 and C18:0/C16:0, respectively. RNA-sequencing revealed that genes related to starch biosynthesis and degradation show different temporal expression dynamics compared to those of lipid biosynthesis. An immediate rapid increase in starch synthesis gene expression is followed by an increase in starch degradation and decrease in starch synthesis gene expression. In contrast, increased gene expression for fatty acid and TAG synthesis is initiated later and occurs more gradually. Expression of several fatty acid desaturase (FAD) genes was decreased upon starvation, which corresponds to the observed changes to higher levels of mono-unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. Moreover, several homologs of transcription regulators that were implicated in controlling starch and lipid metabolism in other microalgae showed differential gene expression and might be key regulators of starch and lipid metabolism in N. oleoabundans as well. Promising candidates for future metabolic engineering are a DYRKP homolog that in Chlamydomonas acts as a negative regulator of carbon storage and photosynthetic efficiency under N-starvation, and two bZIP-type regulators that have been implicated to control several steps in microalgal TAG synthesis. Our data for the first time show the temporal dynamics of storage compound accumulation and transcriptional changes on a short- and long-term time-scale during nitrogen starvation in N. oleoabundans, and increases insight into the genetic foundation for starch and lipid metabolism in this microalga. This information and the identified target genes can now be used for metabolic engineering strategies towards tailored N. oleoabundans strains for industrial applications with increased lipid production and altered fatty acid composition.
