Project description:<p>The GOLDN study was initiated to assess how genetic factors interact with environmental (diet and drug) interventions to influence blood levels of triglycerides and other atherogenic lipid species and inflammation markers (registered at clinicaltrials.gov, number <a href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00083369" target="_blank">NCT00083369</a>). The study recruited Caucasian participants primarily from three-generational pedigrees from two NHLBI Family Heart Study (FHS) field centers (Minneapolis, MN and Salt Lake City, UT). Only families with at least two siblings were recruited and only participants who did not take lipid-lowering agents (pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals) for at least 4 weeks prior to the initial visit were included. The diet intervention followed the protocol of Patsch et al. (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1420093" target="_blank">1992</a>). The whipping cream (83% fat) meal had 700 Calories/m2 body surface area (2.93 mJ/m2 body surface area): 3% of calories were derived from protein (instant nonfat dry milk) and 14% from carbohydrate (sugar). The ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fat was 0.06 and the cholesterol content of the average meal was 240 mg. The mixture was blended with ice and flavorings. Blood samples were drawn immediately before (fasting) and at 3.5 and 6 hours after consuming the high-fat meal. The diet intervention was administered at baseline as well as after a 3-week treatment with 160 mg micronized fenofibrate. Participants were given the option to complete one or both (diet and drug) interventions. Of all participants, 1079 had phenotypic data and provided appropriate consent, and underwent whole genome sequencing through the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program.</p> <p>Comprehensive phenotypic and pedigree data for GOLDN study participants are available through dbGaP <a href="./study.cgi?study_id=phs000741">phs000741</a>.</p>
Project description:The microarray results showed that linalool sitimulation of lipid-loaded HepG2 cells rewired the hepatic transcriptome profile, with linalool being comparable to those of fenofibrate. Total of 8,988 genes that were commonly and significantly expressed in all experimental groups, including control hepatocytes, lipid-loaded hepatocytes, and lipid-loaded hepatocyted stimulated with linalool or fenofibrate, respectively, to compare the transcriptome profile of linalool (1mM) with those of hypotriglyceridemic drug, fenofibrate (100 ?M). Lipid loading of hepatocytes notably changed hepatic transcriptome profile, where 77 % of the selected genes showed >20% changes in expression (fold change > 1.2 or fold change <0.8). However, linalool stimulation of lipid-loaded cells showed that 48 % of the selected genes had expression changes of >20%. Thus, 29 % of the selected genes became to show less than 20% changes in expression after linalool stimulation compared to the lipid-loaded condition. Fenofibrate showed 46 % of the selected gene expression changes of >20%. Thus, 31 % of the seleted genes fell into the <20% change category compared to the lipid-loaded condition after fenofibrate stimulation. Untreated control vs. lipid-loaded HepG2 cells (3 biological replicates), untreated control vs. lipid-loaded HepG2 cells treated with fenofibrate (3 biological replicates), untreated control vs. lipid-loaded HepG2 cells treated with linalool (2 biological replicates).

Project description:Lean male mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD, lard 24% w/w) for 16 weeks. At 9 weeks, when all hallmarks of prediabetes were established, groups of mice were treated with drug (metformin, glibenclamide, sitagliptin, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, fenofibrate, T0901317, atorvastatin, salicylate or rofecoxib) for another 7 weeks together with the high fat diet. An additional group was switched back to a chow diet (dietary lifestyle intervention) after the first 9 weeks of high fat diet. All groups were compared to a control group receiving HFD alone and to a reference group fed chow (baseline reference) for the entire experimental period (16 weeks).

Only families with at least two siblings were recruited and only participants who did not take lipid-lowering agents (pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals) for at least 4 weeks prior to the initial visit were included. A total of 1048 GOLDN participants were included in the diet intervention. The diet intervention followed the protocol of Patsch et al. (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1420093">1992</a>). The whipping cream (83% fat) meal had 700 Calories/m2 body surface area (2.93 MJ/m2 body surface area): 3% of calories were derived from protein (instant nonfat dry milk) and 14% from carbohydrate (sugar).

Blood samples were drawn immediately before (fasting) and at 3.5 and 6 hours after consuming the high-fat meal. For the GOLDN lipidomics study, sterols and fatty acids were measured from stored plasma (-80 degrees Celsius) collected at fasting and 3.5 hours after the diet intervention using TrueMass Panels from Lipomics (West Sacramento, CA). A total of 11 sterols were quantified in nmols/gram of sample including total cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, desmosterol, lanosterol, lathasterol, cholestanol, coprostanol, beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol. A total of 35 fatty acids were quantified in nmols/gram of sample inlcuding myristic acid (14:0); pentadecanoic acid (15:0); palmitic acid (16:0); stearic acid (18:0); arachidic acid (20:0); behenic acid (22:0); lignoceric acid (24:0); myristoleic acid (14:1n5); palmitoleic acid (16:1n7); palmitelaidic acid (t16:1n7); oleic acid (18:1n9); elaidic acid (t18:1n9); vaccenic acid (18:1n7); linoleic acid (18:2n6); gamma-linolenic acid (18:3n6); alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n3); stearidonic acid (18:4n3); eicosenoic acid (20:1n9); eicosadienoic acid (20:2n6); mead acid (20:3n9); di-homo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n6); arachidonic acid (20:4n6); eicsoatetraenoic acid (20:4n3); eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n3); erucic acid (22:1n9); docosadienoic acid (22:2n6); adrenic acid (22:4n6); docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n6); docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n3); docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n3); nervonic acid (24:1n9); and plasmalogen derivatives of 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n9, and 18:1n7.</p>
Project description:Excessive intake of dietary fat is known to be a contributing factor in the development of obesity. In this study, we determined the dose-dependent effects of dietary fat on the development of this metabolic condition with a focus on changes in gene expression in the small intestine. C57BL/6J mice were fed diets with either 10, 20, 30 or 45 energy% (E%) derived from fat for four weeks (n=10 mice/diet). We found a significant higher weight gain in mice fed the 30E% and 45E% fat diet compared to mice on the control diet. These data indicate that the main shift towards an obese phenotype lies between a 20E% and 30E% dietary fat intake. Analysis of differential gene expression in the small intestine showed a fat-dose dependent gradient in differentially expressed genes, with the highest numbers in mice fed the 45E% fat diet. The main shift in fat-induced differential gene expression was found between the 30E% and 45E% fat diet. Furthermore, approximately 70% of the differentially expressed genes were regulated in a fat-dose dependent manner. Many of these genes were involved in lipid metabolism-related processes and were already differentially expressed on a 30E% fat diet. Taken together, we conclude that up to 20E% of dietary fat, the small intestine has an effective ‘buffer capacity’ for fat handling. From 30E% of dietary fat, a switch towards an obese phenotype is triggered. We further speculate that especially fat-dose dependently regulated lipid metabolism-related genes are involved in development of obesity. The proximal, middle, and distal parts of the intestine of mice fed 10, 20, 30, or 45E% dietary fat were analyzed. 10 replicates each.
Project description:Dietary proteins have profound effects on lipid metabolism but the mechanism remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined the temporal impact of dietary proteins in isoenergetic high fat diets on lipid metabolism of C57BL/6J mice.
Project description:Dietary proteins have profound effects on lipid metabolism but the mechanism remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined the temporal impact of dietary proteins in isoenergetic high fat diets on lipid metabolism of C57BL/6J mice. Mice were first fed a low protein (P) to carbohydrate (C) ratio high-fat diet (L-P/C-HF) for 10 weeks and then a half of mice were changed to a high protein to carbohydrate ratio high-fat diet (H-P/C-HF) for additional 4 weeks whereas the remaining mice continued eating the L-P/C-HF diet.
Project description:Adipose tissue plays an important role in storing excess nutrients and preventing ectopic lipid accumulation in other organs. Obesity leads to excess lipid storage in adipocytes, resulting in the generation of stress signals and the derangement of metabolic functions. SIRT1 is an important regulatory sensor of nutrient availability in many metabolic tissues. Here we report that SIRT1 functions in adipose tissue to protect from the development of inflammation and obesity under normal feeding conditions, and the progression to metabolic dysfunction under dietary stress. Genetic ablation of SIRT1 from adipose tissue leads to gene expression changes that highly overlap with changes induced by high fat diet in wild type mice, suggesting that dietary stress signals inhibit the activity of SIRT1. Indeed, we show that high fat diet induces the cleavage of SIRT1 in adipose tissue by the inflammation-activated caspase-1, providing a link between dietary stress and predisposition to metabolic dysfunction. Four replicates from four different biological conditions: 1) SIRT1 wild-type fed low fat diet, 2) SIRT1 wild-type fed high fat diet, 3) SIRT1 knock-out fed low fat diet, 4) SIRT1 knock-out fed high fat diet
