Metabolomic profiling reveals the effects of early-life lactoferrin intervention on protein synthesis, energy production and antioxidative capacity in the liver of suckling piglets

ABSTRACT:

The objective of this study was to reveal the effects of early life lactoferrin intervention on the liver metabolism in the suckling piglets. Sixty newborn piglets with an average initial body weight (BW) of 1.51 ± 0.05 kg were assigned to the control (CON) group and the lactoferrin (LF) group. Piglets in the LF group were orally administered LF solution (0.5 g/kg BW per day) from 1 to 7 days of age, and the piglets in the CON group were orally administrated with the same dose of physiological saline. Plasma, jejunum and liver samples were collected on day 8 and 21. The LF piglets had a decreased level of plasma urea nitrogen on day 8 and an increased level of plasma albumin on day 21. Pathway analysis of metabolomic profiles showed that LF treatment affected amino acid metabolism in the liver of piglets. Additionally, LF treatment upregulated the gene expression of proteolytic enzyme and amino acid transporters (APA, aminopeptidases A; APN, aminopeptidases N; EAAC 1, excitatory amino acid carrier 1; Pept 1, peptide transporter 1) in the jejunum, and enhanced phosphorylation levels of mTOR and p70S6K in the liver. Moreover, LF treatment upregulated the expression of β oxidation related gene (CPT 1, carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1) and affected tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in the liver on day 21. Furthermore, LF piglets had a lower level of MDA and a higher level of GSH and GSH-px in the liver mitochondria. Overall, the early life LF intervention affected protein synthesis, energy production and antioxidative capacity in the liver of neonatal piglets.

Project description:Title: Transcriptome analysis of human endometrial tissues from healthy post-menoupausal women reflecting the endometrial response to 3-weeks treatment with tibolone, E2 and E2+MPA. In an observational, open, non-randomized, controlled study uterine tissues were collected in order to generate endometrial gene expression profiles. healthy postmenopausal women were enrolled into the following treatment groups: Control-group; Tibolone-group, 2,5 mg of tibolone (administered orally) every day, starting 21 days prior to surgery; Estradiol-group, 2 mg of estradiol (administered orally) every day, starting 21 days prior to surgery; Estradiol+progestagen-group, 2 mg of estradiol (administered orally) and 5 mg of MPA (Medroxy Progesteroneacetate, administered orally) every day, starting 21 days prior to surgery. Pure (100%) endometrium was isolated from the snap-frozen uterine tissues and used for RNA isolation. RNA was labbeled and hybridized to whole genome Affymetrix U133plus2 GeneChips containing 54,614 probe sets, representing approximately 47,000 transcripts. Relative to the control group, 940 genes are regulated in the endometrium of E2 treated patients, whereas only 198 genes are significantly regulated in endometria from tibolone or E2+MPA treated patients. Furthermore, only 9% of E2 regulated genes are also regulated by tibolone (85 out of 940), only 5% are also regulated by E2+MPA treatment and the overlap between tibolone and E2+MPA treatment is about 10%. This indicated that tibolone-treatment results in a weak endometrial profile similarity to E2 treatment and no profile similarity to E2+MPA treatment. A more detailed analysis showed that down stream processes, such as regulation of the cell cycle, angiogenesis and cell proliferation are almost not affected by tibolone treatment but, in contrast, are significantly affected by E2. For example, upon staining with Ki67, a marker for mitotic activity, significantly increased stromal as well as glandular cell proliferation was observed in the endometria from the E2-only treated group, while tibolone treatment resulted only in a slight increase in stromal cell proliferation (and no increase in glandular cell proliferation). These results indicate that in contrast to long-term tibolone use, short-term (21-days) use results in some estrogenic stimulation of the endometrium, which is clearly far less and rather different from what is observed during E2 treatment.

Patients who visited our clinics to undergo vaginal hysterectomy for treatment of prolapse, were eligible to participate in this study. The trial was performed in the period before the scheduled surgery. After informed consent, the patients were sequentially assigned to one of the following treatment groups: Experiment Overall Design: - Control-group (no hormonal treatment); Experiment Overall Design: - Tibolone-group (2.5 mg tibolone (Livial, N.V. Organon, Oss, The Netherlands) administered orally every day, starting 21 days prior to surgery); Experiment Overall Design: - E2 group (2 mg of estradiol administered orally every day, starting 21 days prior to surgery); Experiment Overall Design: - E2+MPA-group (2 mg estradiol + 5 mg MPA administered orally every day, starting 21 days prior to surgery). Experiment Overall Design: Pure endometrium was isolated and used for profiling. 31 samples, 3 of which were duplicates, were analyzed.

Project description:C57BL/6 mice were fed ad libitum for the first 5 days of the experiments with high fat high cholesterol (HFC) diet only. The next 7 days of the experiments mice were continuously fed on a HFC diet and simultaneously vehicle (control group), fenofibrate (100 mg/kg) or lovastatin (30 mg/kg) were orally daily administered. At the end of the experiment (day 12) fenofibrate and lovastatin significantly decreased plasma LDL levels, while plasma cholesterol levels were significantly decreased by lovastatin only. Gene expression analysis of hyperlipidemic mouse liver revealed 391 significantly modulated genes when compared to standard diet fed mice. KEGG pathways related to modulated genes were identified and the most significant were biosynthesis of steroids, metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 and linoleic acid metabolism. These pathways were modulated in a way, which increased the clearance of lipids and decreased endogenous synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Additionally, genes involved in the regulation of detoxification pathways were significantly upregulated. The hepatic gene expression profiles of fenofibrate and lovastatin-treated HFC diet fed mice were compared to the vehicle-treated HFC diet fed mice. In the fenofibrate-treated group 124 genes and in the lovastatin-treated group 38 genes were significantly modulated. In the fenofibrate-treated group the top three significantly modulated pathways are fatty acid metabolism, propanoate metabolism and ascorbate and aldarate metabolism. While in the lovastatin-treated group the top three significantly modulated pathways are glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, tyrosine metabolism and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. Expert based classification revealed that both fenofibrate an lovastatin significantly down-regulated genes encoding sterol-C4-methyl oxidase like and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase. Additionally, the regulation of cholesterol at the transcriptional level was also significantly augmented by fenofibrate and lovastatin, as judged by increased expression of -1 and decreased expression of INSIG-2. Experiment Overall Design: 24 seven week old mice were randomly divided in four experimental groups. Control group (n = 6) was fed on a standard chow diet (diet 3430, Provimi Kliba AG, Kaiseraugst, Switzerland) and treated orally once daily with vehicle for 12 days. Remaining 18 mice were fed on HFC diet for 12 days. On day five HFC diet fed mice were treated orally once daily either with vehicle (HFC group, n=6), lovastatin (HFC lovastatin group, 30mg/kg, n=6) or fenofibrate (HFC fenofibrate group, 100mg/kg, n=6). Doses of lovastatin and fenofibrate were choosen according to the literature review. On day 12 liver were excised and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80Â°C for the subsequent transriptome analyses
