Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid-enriched high fat diet delays the development of fatty liver in mice.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effects of quality of fat in a high fat diet (HFD) over time on hepatic lipid storage and transcriptome in mice. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse liver after being fed with Control, HFD-EPA/DHA and HFD-corn oil diet for 8 and 12 weeks.

Project description:Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce inflammation via a range of mechanisms. This study tested the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on intestinal inflammation using interleukin-10 gene-deficient (Il10-/-) mice. Methods: At 35 days of age, 12 weaned Il10-/- and 12 C57 mice were randomly assigned to one of two modified AIN-76A diets, supplemented with 3.7% purified ethyl esters of either EPA (n-3) or oleic acid (OA, control). To identify genes relevant to colon inflammation, transcription profiling (microarrays and qRT-PCR) and bioinformatic analyses were used. Results: In this study, dietary EPA reversed the decrease in colon fatty acid Î²-oxidation gene expression observed in OA-fed Il10-/- compared to C57 mice. Il10-/- mice fed the OA diet showed decreased expression of antioxidant enzyme genes, as well as those involved in detoxification of xenobiotics, compared to C57 mice on the same diet. In contrast, dietary EPA increased the expression of these genes in Il10-/- mice. Conclusions: These data indicate that dietary EPA induced endogenous lipid oxidation which might have a potential anti-inflammatory effect on colon tissue. This is supported by the activation of the Ppara gene that regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory genes and proteins. Experiment Overall Design: The diet abbreviations EPA, OA, AA and CO used in the sample records Experiment Overall Design: refer to the following : Experiment Overall Design: CO : AIN-76A (control) Experiment Overall Design: OA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% oleic acid Experiment Overall Design: EPA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% eicosapentaenoic acid Experiment Overall Design: AA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% arachidonic acid Experiment Overall Design: Corn oil was supplemented with purified linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid to meet the nutritional requirements of mice for these essential fatty acids. Diets fed for 6 weeks.

Project description:Background & Aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease accompanies obesity and is independently associated with cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acid, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease due to their anti-inflammatory and hypolipidemic effects. Recent data suggested that metabolic effects of EPA/DHA as marine phospholipids could be stronger than triglycerides (fish oil). We characterised the mechanisms underlying beneficial effects of EPA/DHA phospholipids alone or in combination with antidiabetic drugs on hepatosteatosis in dietary obese mice. Methods: Male C57BL/6N mice were fed for 7 weeks a corn oil-based high-fat diet (cHF) or subjected to cHF-based interventions: (i) cHF with DHA/EPA as phosphatidylcholine-rich concentrate replacing ~10 % of dietary lipids (PC); ii) cHF with a low-dose of thiazolidinedione rosiglitazone (10 mg/kg diet), which retains some of the beneficial effects but also potentiates hepatic lipid accumulation (R); and iii) PC+R. Metabolic profiling together with hepatic gene expression and lipidomic analyses were performed. Results: PC and PC+R prevented weight gain and glucose intolerance induced by cHF, while all interventions reduced abdominal fat and plasma triglycerides. In contrast to R, PC and PC+R lowered hepatic and plasma cholesterol and eliminated hepatosteatosis. Hepatic microarray analysis primarily revealed a complex downregulation of lipogenic and cholesterol biosynthesis pathways by PC. Lipidomic analysis identified arachidonic acid, DHA and EPA in hepatic phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine fractions as the most important variables. Importantly, down-regulation of genes within these pathways was enlarged by phospholipid versus triglyceride forms of EPA/DHA in an independent experiment. Conclusions: Obesity-associated hepatosteatosis and hypercholesterolemia were ameliorated by marine phospholipids in association with a complex inhibition of biosynthetic pathways in liver. Stronger effects of phospholipids versus triglyceride form of EPA/DHA suggest their preferential use in the prevention and possible treatment of obesity-associated metabolic hepatic dysfunctions.
