Project description:Gestational protein restriction is a model for low birth size. We hypothesized that taurine supplementation would protect against changes in newborn liver and muscle caused by a maternal low protein diet. Pregnant mouse dams were subjected to different diet schemes from day 1 of pregnancy until birth. Pups were killed following birth and liver and hindleg skeletal muscle taken out and frozen at -80C until analysis. Diet schemes: Normal Protein (20% casein; NP), Normal Protein + taurine (1% taurine supplementation in water ad libitum; NP+tau), Low Protein (8% casein; LP) and LP+tau The liver and muscle samples were normalized separately.

Project description:Ingestion of a diet with a restricted Methionine (MR) content results in robust activation of hepatic stress pathways regulated by PERK, ATF4, and Nfe2l2. In addition, genes regulating hepatic lipogenesis are downregulated. So far, data were obtained using a mix of elemental amino acids as the dietary protein source, which was replaced in this experiment with casein. To reduce methionine content, casein was oxidized and methionine was added back to a concentration similar to the diets using elemental amino acids as protein source. Results show that mice reduce body weight and adiposity on MR containing oxidized casein similar to MR containing elemental amino acids. Similarly, energy expenditure, as well as food and water intake were increased. The RNAseq experiment was conducted to compare the effect of MR using these two protein sources on the hepatic transcriptome.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Protein undernutrition is prevalent mainly among elderly people, and it could develop diseases such as sarcopenia. Urinary metabolites may become biomarkers reflecting protein undernutrition, but this has been insufficiently investigated.</p><p><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> The purpose of this study was to identify novel urinary metabolites as biomarker candidates responsive to protein undernutrition.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> Adult male Wistar rats were fed an AIN-93 M diet [14% casein, control (CT) diet] or an AIN-93 M-based isocaloric diet [5% casein, low protein (LP) diet] for 4 weeks. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomic analysis was performed on urine samples weekly and on plasma and liver samples at week 4 to identify metabolites that respond to protein undernutrition. Liver samples were also subjected to mRNA microarray and quantitative PCR analyses at week 4 to investigate alterations of the gene expressions responsive to protein undernutrition.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Urinary taurine levels were significantly lower in the LP group than in the CT group (79.7% lower) at week 1, and remained constant until week 4. Hepatic taurine level and gene expression level of cysteine dioxygenase type 1, the rate-limiting enzyme for taurine biosynthesis, were also significantly lower in the LP group than in the CT group (81.1% and 32.5% lower, respectively). Urinary trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels were significantly higher in the LP group than in the CT group (49.7% higher) at week 2, and remained constant until week 4. Hepatic TMAO level was also higher in the LP group than in the CT group (81.2% higher). Hepatic gene expression levels of flavin-containing monooxygenase 1 and 5, the enzymes for TMAO biosynthesis, were also significantly higher in the LP group than in the CT group (61.6% and 311.8% higher, respectively).</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Urinary taurine and TMAO levels substantially respond to LP diet ingestion, and may act as non-invasive biomarker candidates to detect protein undernutrition.</p>

Project description:Epidemiologic studies demonstrate that women from cultures that consume high levels of dietary soy have reduced breast cancer rates compared to women from cultures where soy consumption is typically much lower. The types of soy products consumed can also differ with Asian cultures consuming primarily minimally refined soy products while Western cultures often consume more highly refined soy products such as isolated soy protein (ISP). Our previous work showed that lifetime exposure to a diet containing 20% ISP promoted mammary tumor development in MTB-IGFIR transgenic mice. In this study, lifetime exposure to lower levels of ISP were evaluated (5% ISP and 1% ISP) to determine whether more moderate levels of ISP could protect against mammary tumorigenesis. A standard rodent diet, Teklad 2018 was also included in this study and Teklad 2018 contains a less refined form of soy, namely soybean meal. MTB-IGFIR mice fed ISP diets, independent of the concentration, displayed increased mammary tumor incidence and reduced tumor latency compared to MTB-IGFIR mice fed a 20% casein diet. Unexpectedly, MTB-IGFIR mice fed Teklad 2018 were completely protected against mammary tumor development. Although RNA sequencing of mammary tumors from ISP or casein fed mice did not identified gene expression patterns associated with the ISP diets, the ISP diets consistently promoted the expression of contractile related proteins in pubertal mammary glands. Therefore, lifetime exposure to ISP may alter gene expression in pubertal mammary glands rendering them more susceptible to transformation. Based on these findings women may want to avoid highly refined soy products such as ISP and switch to less refined forms of dietary soy until additional studies can be performed.

Project description:The effects of freeze-dried tofu, a traditional Japanese soy food, were compared with those of major active soy components, protein and isoflavone, by observing physiological differences and global transcriptomes in the liver of male rats. The GeneChip data was normalized and summarized by using SuperNORM data service (Skylight Biotech Inc.). Significance of expressional change among groups was tested by 2-way ANOVA on the normalized CEL data, which was deposited in a tab-separated ASCII text format. Principal components were identified on the summarized gene data. Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups of 5 samples and assigned experimental diets for 14 days. The experimental diets were as follows: casein diet (C); C containing isoflavone (CI) soy protein diet (S); S containing isoflavone (SI); a diet containing 100 g/kg each of protein derived from casein and freeze-dried tofu (T10); a diet containing 200 g/kg of protein derived from freeze-dried tofu (T20). CI and SI were supplemented with a mixture of isoflavones to match the isoflavone level of T20.

Project description:A soy diet worsens the progression of an inherited form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in male mice when compared to casein-fed mice. Females are largely resistant to this diet effect and better preserve cardiac function. We hypothesized that the abundant phytoestrogens found in soy are mainly responsible for this diet-dependent phenotype. Indeed, feeding male mice a phytoestrogen-supplemented casein-based diet can recapitulate the negative outcome seen when male mice are fed a standard soy-based diet. To gain mechanistic insights into disease pathogenesis, we used Affymetrix microarrays to profile gene expression in left ventricular tissue from 2 month old HCM male and female mice as well as wild-type littermate controls. These mice were fed a phytoestrogen (genistein + daidzein)-supplemented casein-based diet. We identified a number of molecular pathways that could explain both the male and female phenotypes.

So far, data were obtained using a mix of elemental amino acids as the dietary protein source, which was replaced in this experiment with casein. To reduce methionine content, casein was oxidized and methionine was added back to a concentration similar to the diets using elemental amino acids as protein source.

Project description:Beneficial effects of a soy diet on bone quality have been assumed to be due to the putative estrogenic actions of isoflavones. We studied the effects of soy protein isolate (SPI) on bone quality and compared these effects to 17β-estradiol (E2) in pre-pubertal rats. Female rats were weaned to a control diet with or without E2 (0.1, 1, 10 µg/kg/d), or SPI-containing diet with or without E2 (10 µg/kg/d) for 14 days beginning on postnatal day 20. In long bones from SPI-fed rats, only cancellous bone mineral density (BMD) was increased (p<0.05), while cortical BMD was decreased accompanied by lower bone strength compared to control casein-fed rats (p<0.05). In sharp contrast, 10 µg/kg/d E2 not only increased trabecular BMD, but also cortical BMD compared to controls. Rats treated with the combination of SPI and E2 had an intermediate bone effect. SPI increased while E2 decreased bone turnover, and increased trabecular BMD by both E2 and SPI was associated with decreased serum sclerostin levels. Microarray analysis revealed 652 genes regulated by SPI diet, 491 genes regulated by E2, and 266 genes regulated in common by both SPI diet and E2 compared to rats fed casein. The expression of caveolin-1, a protein localized in cell membrane, was down-regulated (p<0.05) in rats fed SPI, but not by E2 compared to rats fed casein. Down-regulated caveolin-1 by SPI was associated with increased BMP2, Smad and Runx2 expression in bone and osteoblasts (p<0.05). These results suggest SPI consumption results in significant non-classical estrogenic stimulation of cancellous bone formation prior to puberty, but may have adverse effects on overall bone quality and strength at this developmental stage as a result of reduced cortical bone formation. The study was designed to compare expression of bone development associated genes between soy protein isolate fed and estrogen treated pre pubertal female rats. Therefore, total RNA was isolated from bone from rats fed with control casein diet, SPI diet, 17 beta estrodial treated and SPI diet plus 17 beta estrodial.

Project description:Soybean and fish contains various active components that were reported to prevent cardiovasucular diseases. Epidemiological studies indicated that Asian eating patterns, consisting of daily seafood and/or soy consumption, confer protection against cardiovascular diseases. In this context, we expected that simultaneous intake of soybean and fish may be greatly beneficial in a manner different from the ingestion of the individual food. To understand the detailed mechanism for modulating the lipid metabolism by co-ingestion of a soy food (tofu) and fish oil, we investigated the global changes in hepatic mRNA expression in rats by using a microarray analysis. Generally, ingestion of tofu contributed to prevent the mRNA expressions involved in hepatic lipogenesis, whereas fish oil facilitated the mRNA expressions related to the degradation of hepatic fatty acids. In terms of mRNA expression, the interaction of two dietary factors was limited. The expression data was normalized and summarized by using SuperNORM data service (Skylight Biotech Inc.). Significance of expressional change among groups was tested by 2-way ANOVA on the normalized CEL data, which was deposited in a tab-separated ASCII text format. Principal components were identified on the summarized gene data. Rats were divided into four groups each with similar average body weights and assigned experimental diets for 21 days as follows: casein and soybean oil diet (CS); casein and fish oil diet (CF); tofu and soybean oil diet (TS); tofu and fish oil diet (TF). Total protein and fat content of each diet was 200 and 150 g/kg, respectively. Soybean oil diets (CS and TS) contain 150 g/kg diet of soybean-derived fat (i.e. soybean oil and freeze-dried tofu), and 50 g/kg of fish oil was replaced with the same amount of soybean-derived fat for fish oil diets (CF and TF). Animals were allowed free access to food and water.
