Fitm2 is required for ER homeostasis and normal function of murine liver

ABSTRACT: The ER-resident prote in fat-inducing transcript 2 (FIT2) catalyzes acyl-CoA cleavage in vitro, and in cells is required for endoplasmic reticulum (ER)homeostasis and normal lipid storage. The gene encoding FIT2 is essential for viability of mice and worms. Whether FIT2 acts as anacyl-CoA diphosphatase in vivo and how this activity affects liver, where the protein was discovered,is unknown. Here, we report that hepatocyte-specific Fitm2 knockout (FIT2-LKO) mice exhibited elevated acyl-CoA levels, ER stress, and signs of liver injury. FIT2-LKO mice had increased triglyceride (TG) content in liver when fed a chow diet, compared with control littermates due in part to impaired secretion of TG-rich lipoproteins and reduced capacity for fatty acid oxidation. Challenging FIT2-LKO mice with a high-fat diet to increase FIT2 acyl-CoA substrates worsened hepatic ER stress and liver injury, yet unexpectedly reversed the steatosis phenotype, similar to what is observed in FIT2-deficient cells loaded with fatty acids. Our findings show that FIT2 acts as anacyl-CoA diphosphatase in vivo and is crucial for normal hepatocyte function and ER homeostasis in murine liver

Project description:Elevated circulating lipid levels are known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In order to examine the effects of quercetin on hepatic lipid metabolism and detailed serum lipid profiles, mice received a mild-high-fat diet without (control) or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin for 12 weeks. Gas chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance were used to measure quantitatively serum lipid profiles and whole genome microarray analysis was used to identify the responsible mechanisms in liver. There were no significant differences found in mean body weight, energy intake and hepatic lipid accumulation between the quercetin and control group. In serum of quercetin-fed mice, TG levels were decreased with 15%, poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were increased with 14% and saturated fatty acids were decreased. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid were all decreased in quercetin-fed mice by 9-15%. Both palmitic acid and oleic acid can be oxidized by omega-oxidation. Indeed, gene expression profiling showed that quercetin increased hepatic lipid metabolism, especially omega-oxidation. At the gene level, this was reflected by the up regulation of cytochrome P450 (Cyp) 4a10, Cyp4a14, Cyp4a31 and Acyl-CoA thioesterase 3 (Acot3). Two relevant regulators, Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (Por, rate limiting for cytochrome P450s) and the transcription factor Constitutive androstane receptor (Car; official symbol Nr1i3) were also up regulated in the quercetin-fed mice. We conclude that quercetin intake increased hepatic lipid omega-oxidation and lowered corresponding circulating lipid levels, a process that may involve Por and Car, and results in a potential beneficial CVD preventive effect. Liver samples were obtained from 36 C57BL/6J male adult mice. All mice started with a three week adaptation phase, in which they were fed a mild-high-fat diet. 12 mice were sacrificed immediately after the adaptation phase (t=0). The other 24 mice received the mild-high-fat diet without (HF) or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin (HF-Q) for 12 weeks.
