Rdh1 supresses adiposity by promoting brown adipose adaptation to fasting and re-feeding

ABSTRACT: Rdh1 is one of the several enzymes that catalyze the first of the two reactions to convert retinol into all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA). Here we show that Rdh1-null mice fed low-fat diet gain more weight as adiposity thann wild-type mice by 20 weeks old, despite neither consuming more calories nor decreasing activity. RNAseq revealed dysregulation of 424 BAT genes in null mice, with segregated predominantly into differences after fasting vs after re-feeding. Rdh1-generated atRA in BAT regulates multiple genes that promote BAT adaptation to whole-body energy status, such as fasting and re-feeding.

Project description:This study integrates global transcriptional profiling and the metabolic perturbation induced by fasting and re-feeding. Genetic control of growth and development should be revealed by systematic modeling of metabolic and regulatory pathways. Chicken oligo arrays were used for transcriptional profiling in two time-course experiments. Two critical developmental stages were chosen: immediately after hatchling (Wk1) and prior to marketing of broiler chickens (Wk6). Only male chickens were used to simplify the experimental design. A RNA reference design was employed for microarray hybridization using two reference RNA pools derived from all individuals sampled at either Wk1 or Wk6. Microarray data was acquired using GenePix Pro software. Loess normalization and a linear mixed model were applied in data processing using the R statistical package with LIMMA software [Smyth, G. K. (2004) Linear models and empirical Bayes methods for assessing differential expression in microarray experiments. Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology, Vol. 3, No. 1, Article 3]. The results show hundreds of differentially expressed genes, which are regulated by age and the metabolic perturbation of fasting and re-feeding. Numerous common genes were found at both developmental stages (Wk1 and Wk6) that could be candidates for controlling growth and development of chickens. Differential expression revealed by either microarray or qRT-PCR analyses of selected genes was highly consistent. QRT-PCR verification of genes acutely depressed by fasting includes AGO1, ANGTPL3, ATPCL, FASN, FAT, ME1, PPARG, SCD1, SREBP1 and THRSPA. Genes up-regulated by fasting were ALDOB, IL-15, LDHB, LIPIN2, PANK1, PPARA and UPP2. These genes are functionally assigned to metabolic enzymes, transcription factors, acute phase proteins, immune factors and involved in various pathways (i.e., fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, glycolysis, growth factor signaling and immune defense).
