ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic profiling of the white adipose tissue (WAT) in ApoE3L.CETP mice fed a high fat diet (HFD) or a low fat diet (LFD) for three different time periods, or chow diet at baseline
Project description:The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by the presence of metabolic abnormalities that include abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, increased blood glucose/insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia and increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The ApoE*3Leiden.human Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (ApoE3L.CETP) mouse model manifests several features of the MetS upon high fat diet (HFD) feeding. Moreover, the physiological changes in the white adipose tissue (WAT) contribute to MetS comorbidities. The aim of this study was to identify transcriptomic signatures in the gonadal WAT of ApoE3L.CETP mice in discrete stages of diet-induced MetS.
Project description:To profile the expression of circulating miRNAs in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity (DIO) with subsequent weight-reduction with low-fat diet (LFD), eighteen C57BL/6 male mice were grouped into three subgroups as: (1) Control: the mice fed with the standard AIN-76A (fat: 11.5 kcal%) diet for 12 wks; (2) DIO: the mice fed with 58 kcal% high-fat diet for 12 wks; (3) DIO+LFD: the mice fed with high-fat diet for 8 wks to induce obesity, then changed to 10.5 kcal% low-fat diet for subsequent 4 wks. C57BL/6 mice were purchased from BioLasco (Taipei, Taiwan). All housing conditions were maintained, and surgical procedures, including analgesia, were performed in an Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC)-accredited SPF facility according to national and institutional guidelines. In this experiment, eighteen C57BL/6 wild type male mice were randomly grouped into three subgroups (n=6 in each group): (1) Control: the control mice were fed ad libitum a standard AIN-76A (fat: 11.5 kcal%) diet for 12 wks; (2) DIO: the mice were fed ad libitum a 58 kcal% HFD (D12331; Research Diets Inc., New Brunswick, NJ) for 12 wks to induce obesity; (3) DIO+LFD: the mice fed ad libitum a 58 kcal% HFD (D12331) for 8 wks to induce obesity, then continued the feeding of 10.5 kcal% LFD (D 12329; Research Diets Inc.) for additional 4 wks. Weight measurements were performed on a weekly basis to for these three groups of mice. Evaluation of blood glucose levels was performed at the beginning and in the end of the experiment to confirm that the HFD-fed mice developed an obese and insulin resistant phenotype. After the end of experiment at 12w, all mice were killed. The abdominal WAT of each mice was removed and weighted. Paraffin-embedded abdominal WAT was sectioned at 5 M-NM-<m and stained with hematoxylin and eosin to measure mean adipocyte area. A volume of 1 mL of whole blood was collected into a plain tube and allowed to clot for 1 hour. The sera samples were aliquoted after centrifugation at 3,000 M-CM-^W g for 10 minutes and stored at M-bM-^HM-^R80M-BM-0C until further analysis.

Project description:Despite wide efforts in the last decade, signaling aberrations associated with obesity remain enigmatic. Here, we carried out phosphoproteomic analysis of mouse white adipose tissues (WAT) upon low-fat diet (LFD) and high-fat diet (HFD) to dissect underlying molecular mechanisms of obesity. Of the 7696 phosphopeptides quantified, 191 proteins including various insulin-responsive proteins and metabolic enzymes functioning in lipid homeostasis, exhibited differential phosphorylation with high-fat feeding. Kinase predictions and integrated network analysis identified several deregulated kinase signaling pathways, and suggested possibilities of HFD-induced transcriptional rewiring. Further, functional validation of a novel HFD-responsive site on cytoplasmic acetyl-coA forming ACSS2 (S263) suggested that the phosphorylation is important in regulating insulin signaling and maintaining triglyceride levels. This study represents one of the first comprehensive phosphoproteome data in mouse obesity models, and describes a systems-level approach for identifying deregulated molecular events and potential therapeutic targets in the context of high-fat feeding and adipocyte perturbation.
Project description:We investigated remodeling of the mitochondrial proteome to determine mechanisms of changes to lipid oxidation following high-fat feeding. C57BL/6J mice consumed either a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% fat) or low fat diet (LFD, 10% fat) for 12 weeks. Mice were fasted 4 hours then anaesthetized by sodium pentobarbital for tissue collection. A mitochondrial-enriched fraction was prepared from gastrocnemius muscles and underwent proteomic analysis by high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Project description:Despite a variety of seasoning ingredients in diets, little is known about their cooperative effect on animal metabolism. We fed rats a diet containing 30 wt.% instant noodle with a 26% fat-to-energy ratio for 30 days (N-group). Compared with rats that were fed the same diet without seasonings (C-group), the N-group showed lower liver triacylglycerol levels and higher fecal cholesterol levels. To assess the mechanisms underlying this phenotype, we conducted transcriptome analyses of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis (HP), liver and white adipose tissue (WAT). Our results suggest that these ingredients may affect lipid homeostasis via the HP axis.

Project description:Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) or a high-fat diet (HFD) can produce liver injury. However, the interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD are as of yet unclear. We used microarrays to detail the interactive effects of arsenic and a high-fat diet on hepatic gene expression. The C57BL/6 Mice fed low-fat diet (LFD) or HFD were exposed to 3 mg/L iAs or deionized water for 10 weeks. Then, hepatic RNA were extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Differentially expressed genes in LFD+As, HFD, and HFD+As groups compared to LFD group were identified, and interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD were discussed.
