Project description:Hepatic steatosis is a very common response to liver injury and often attributed to metabolic disorders. Prior studies have demonstrated the efficacy of a biotechnologically produced oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju, PSC) in alleviating hepatic steatosis in obese Zucker rats. This study aims to elucidate molecular events underlying the anti-steatotic effects of PSC.

Project description:The hypothesis was tested that biotechnologically produced Pleurotus sajor-caju (PSC) influences metabolic health of obese Zucker rats. To test this, obese Zucker rats were randomly assigned to 2 groups of 12 rats each with similar body weights (BW) and fed diets either without (OC) or with 5 % PSC (OPSC) for 4 weeks and hepatic transcript profiling was performed. Transcriptomics of the liver revealed a total of 580 transcripts differentially expressed between OPSC and OC.

Project description:Photoresponse mechanism of oyster muchroom mycelia was studied using a custom microarray prepared on the basis of the genome information (Pleurotus ostreatus PC15 v2.0) in JGI Genome Portal. Blue light stimulation to the mycelia caused the up-regulation and down-regulation of genes expression. Particulary, the genes coding rate-controlling enzymes in glycolysis, pentose phosphate, and sikimic acid pathways were up-regulated to accumulate shikimic acid dramatically.

Project description:Ecdysteroids are a class of steroid hormones occurring in insects, where they are referred as zooecdysteroids, and in plants, where they are termed phytoecdysteroids. While zooecdysteroids in insects regulate important developmental processes, such as embryogenesis, molting (ecdysis), metamorphosis, reproduction, and diapause, phytoecdysteroids provide protection against invertebrate predators by acting as feeding deterrents and by disrupting critical developmental processes of such invertebrates. The ecdysteroids in insects and plants comprise a great number of different analogues, with 20‐hydroxyecdysone, also called ecdysterone, being the quantitatively dominating biologically active analogue in both, insects and plants. Although phytoecdysteroids are effective toxins or antifeedants towards non-adapted herbivorous invertebrate predators, ecdysteroids are apparently non-toxic to mammals and even have been shown to exert a variety of interesting metabolic actions, such as antiobesity, hypoglycemic and protein-anabolic effects. In the present study aimed to test the hypothesis that ecdysterone causes lipid-lowering effects in obese Zucker rats. To test this hypothesis, two groups of obese Zucker rats were fed a nutrient-adequate diet supplemented without or with 0.05% ecdysterone. This ecdysterone concentration was appropriate to achieve a similar dose of ecdysterone per kg body weight BW as applied in other rodent studies, in which ecdysterone caused either hepatic and plasma lipid-lowering effects or antiobesity effects in different rodent models. In order to decipher the potential lipid-lowering actions of ecdysteroids in Zucker rats, measurements of liver and plasma lipid concentrations and hepatic transcriptome analysis was carried out. To further study if ecdysterone is capable of alleviating the strong lipid-synthetic activity in the liver of obese Zucker rats, the study included also two groups of lean Zucker rats which also received either the ecdysterone-supplemented or the non-supplemented diet.

Project description:Analysis of the gene signature of steatosis associated to obesity in hepatocytes of Zucker fa/fa obese rats and their controls; identifying target genes linked to steatosis progression. or Obesity and insulin resistance-associated steatosis can be a non-inflammatory condition affecting hepatocytes or progress to steatohepatitis: a condition that can result in end-stage liver disease. Although molecular events leading to accumulation of lipid droplets in the liver have been identified individually, the complexity of the condition suggested that emergent target would be uncovered by a more comprehensive examination. Then, this study was aimed at establishing a gene signature of steatosis in hepatocytes and at identifying target genes linked to steatosis progression. Using Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays, we compared transcriptomes of hepatocytes isolated from Zucker "fa/fa" obese rats with three different age-related grades of steatosis with those of their counterpart non-steatotic cells.

Project description:Endurance exercise training has been shown to decrease whole-body and skeletal muscle insulin resistance and increase glucose tolerance in conditions of both pre-diabetes and overt type 2 diabetes. However, the adaptive responses in skeletal muscle at the molecular and genetic level for these beneficial effects of exercise training have not been clearly established in an animal model of pre-diabetes. The present study identifies alterations in skeletal muscle gene expression that occur with exercise training in pre-diabetic, insulin-resistant obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats and insulin-sensitive lean Zucker (Fa/-) rats. Treadmill running for up to 4 weeks caused significant enhancements of glucose tolerance as assessed by the integrated area under the curve for glucose (AUCg) during an oral glucose tolerance test in both lean and obese animals. Using microarray analysis, a set of only 12 genes was identified as both significantly altered (>1.5-fold change relative to sedentary controls; p<0.05) and significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the AUCg. Two of these genes, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-g coactivator 1a (PGC-1a) and the z-isoform of protein kinase C (PKC-z), have known involvement in the regulation of skeletal muscle glucose transport. We confirmed that protein expression levels of PGC-1a and PKC-z were positively correlated with the mRNA expression levels for these two genes. Overall, this study has identified a limited number of genes in soleus muscle of lean and obese Zucker rats that are associated with decreased insulin resistance and increase glucose tolerance following endurance exercise training. These findings could guide the development of pharmaceutical M-^Sexercise mimeticsM-^T in the treatment of insulin-resistant, pre-diabetic or overtly type 2 diabetic individuals.

Project description:Hox and ParaHox genes encode transcription factors with conserved similar expression patterns in divergent animals. The Pdx (Xlox) homeobox gene, for example, is expressed in a sharp spatial domain in the endodermal cell layer of the gut in chordates, echinoderms, annelids and molluscs. The significance of comparable gene expression patterns is unclear because it is not known if downstream transcriptional targets are also conserved. We thus conducted experiments to show that a classic transcriptional target of Pdx1 in vertebrates, the insulin gene, is also a direct target of Pdx in the Pacific oyster. We report that oyster has a diversity of insulin-related genes including one co-expressed with Pdx in the endodermal layer of oyster digestive tissue. Transcriptome analysis reveals functional similarity of this tissue to vertebrate pancreas. Using ATAC-seq we identify a Pdx homeodomain binding site upstream of the endodermally-expressed oyster insulin-related gene and using cell culture demonstrate that oyster Pdx acts as a transcriptional activator through this site. These data argue that a classic homeodomain-target gene interaction dates back to the base of Bilateria.
