Project description:Objective: The intestine occupies the critical interface between cholesterol absorption and excretion. Despite this, surprisingly little is known about the role of de novo cholesterol synthesis in this organ, and its relationship to whole body cholesterol homeostasis. In addition to cholesterol, the mevalonate pathway is responsible for the synthesis of numerous non-sterol isoprenoids. Here we investigate the physiological importance of the mevalonate pathway within the intestine, through genetic deletion of the rate-limiting enzyme. Approach and Results: Mice lacking 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (Hmgcr) in intestinal villus and crypt epithelial cells were generated using a Villin-Cre transgene. In contrast to intestine-specific Srebp-2 and Scap knockouts, mice with intestinal-specific loss of Hmgcr are viable through adulthood and fertile. Hmgcr was efficiently deleted based on mRNA levels, as well as quantitative analysis of Hmgcr alleles by droplet digital PCR. Lipidomics revealed substantial reductions in the abundance of numerous non-sterol isoprenoids and sterol intermediates within the epithelial layer, while cholesterol levels were preserved. Although the intestinal knockout mice are born smaller, there is no net defect in feed efficiency or triglyceride absorption due to compensatory changes in bile acid composition and intestinal growth. At the cellular level, loss of Hmgcr is compensated for quickly after weaning through a dramatic expansion of the stem cell compartment within the crypts. Conclusions: Genetic loss of Hmgcr in the intestine is compatible with life, through mechanisms involving compensatory changes in bile acid composition, increased absorptive surface area, and expansion of the resident stem cell compartment.

Project description:BackgroundThe intestine occupies the critical interface between cholesterol absorption and excretion. Surprisingly little is known about the role of de novo cholesterol synthesis in this organ, and its relationship to whole body cholesterol homeostasis. Here, we investigate the physiological importance of this pathway through genetic deletion of the rate-limiting enzyme.MethodsMice lacking 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (Hmgcr) in intestinal villus and crypt epithelial cells were generated using a Villin-Cre transgene. Plasma lipids, intestinal morphology, mevalonate pathway metabolites, and gene expression were analyzed.ResultsMice with intestine-specific loss of Hmgcr were markedly smaller at birth, but gain weight at a rate similar to wild-type littermates, and are viable and fertile into adulthood. Intestine lengths and weights were greater relative to body weight in both male and female Hmgcr intestinal knockout mice. Male intestinal knockout had decreased plasma cholesterol levels, whereas fasting triglycerides were lower in both sexes. Lipidomics revealed substantial reductions in numerous nonsterol isoprenoids and sterol intermediates within the epithelial layer, but cholesterol levels were preserved. Hmgcr intestinal knockout mice also showed robust activation of SREBP-2 (sterol-regulatory element binding protein-2) target genes in the epithelium, including the LDLR (low-density lipoprotein receptor). At the cellular level, loss of Hmgcr is compensated for quickly after birth through a dramatic expansion of the stem cell compartment, which persists into adulthood.ConclusionsLoss of Hmgcr in the intestine is compatible with life through compensatory increases in intestinal absorptive surface area, LDLR expression, and expansion of the resident stem cell compartment.

Project description:affy_ccr_maize - affy_ccr_maize - Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) catalyzes a key step in monolignol biosynthesis. We show that downregulation of CCR in maize was associated with lower lignin content and a strong decrease in H units. Concomitantly, these cell wall modifications were associated with higher digestibility. On another hand, immunocytochemistry indicated a modification of lignification pattern and cellulose content. Transcript profiling was used as comprehensive phenotyping tools to investigate how CCR downregulation impacted metabolism and the biosynthesis of other cell wall polymers. -2 wild type and 2 CCR mutants were compared. Plants were grown in greenhouse condition and harvested at 7-8 leaf stages. Keywords: gene knock in (transgenic)

Project description:The terpene compounds represent the largest and most diverse class of plant secondary metabolites which are important in plant growth and development. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR; EC 1.1.1.34) is one of the key enzymes contributed to terpene biosynthesis. To better understand the basic characteristics and evolutionary history of the HMGR gene family in plants, a genome-wide analysis of HMGR genes from 20 representative species was carried out. A total of 56 HMGR genes in the 14 land plant genomes were identified, but no genes were found in all 6 algal genomes. The gene structure and protein architecture of all plant HMGR genes were highly conserved. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the plant HMGRs were derived from one ancestor gene and finally developed into four distinct groups, two in the monocot plants and two in dicot plants. Species-specific gene duplications, caused mainly by segmental duplication, led to the limited expansion of HMGR genes in Zea mays, Gossypium raimondii, Populus trichocarpa and Glycine max after the species diverged. The analysis of Ka/Ks ratios and expression profiles indicated that functional divergence after the gene duplications was restricted. The results suggested that the function and evolution of HMGR gene family were dramatically conserved throughout the plant kingdom.

Project description:3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, statins, are known to exert endothelial athero-protective effects through the induction of specific transcriptional factors and their downstream target genes besides lowering LDL-cholesterol. However its critical mechanism has not still been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts induced by pitavastatin. We used repeated microarray analysis of HUVECs treated with pitavastatin for 4-hours, we identified a group of consistently up - or down - regulated genes.

Project description:In this study, we take advantage of the ability of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) from Pseudomonas mevalonii to remain active while in its crystallized form to study the changing interactions between the ligands and protein as the first reaction intermediate is created. HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes one of the few double oxidation-reduction reactions in intermediary metabolism that take place in a single active site. Our laboratory has undertaken an exploration of this reaction space using structures of HMG-CoA reductase complexed with various substrate, nucleotide, product, and inhibitor combinations. With a focus in this publication on the first hydride transfer, our structures follow this reduction reaction as the enzyme converts the HMG-CoA thioester from a flat sp(2)-like geometry to a pyramidal thiohemiacetal configuration consistent with a transition to an sp(3) orbital. This change in the geometry propagates through the coenzyme A (CoA) ligand whose first amide bond is rotated 180° where it anchors a web of hydrogen bonds that weave together the nucleotide, the reaction intermediate, the enzyme, and the catalytic residues. This creates a stable intermediate structure prepared for nucleotide exchange and the second reduction reaction within the HMG-CoA reductase active site. Identification of this reaction intermediate provides a template for the development of an inhibitor that would act as an antibiotic effective against the HMG-CoA reductase of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:Sterol-induced binding to Insigs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) allows for ubiquitination of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. This ubiquitination marks reductase for recognition by the ATPase VCP/p97, which mediates extraction and delivery of reductase from ER membranes to cytosolic 26 S proteasomes for degradation. Here, we report that reductase becomes dislocated from ER membranes into the cytosol of sterol-treated cells. This dislocation exhibits an absolute requirement for the actions of Insigs and VCP/p97. Reductase also appears in a buoyant fraction of sterol-treated cells that co-purifies with lipid droplets, cytosolic organelles traditionally regarded as storage depots for neutral lipids such as triglycerides and cholesteryl esters. Genetic, biochemical, and localization studies suggest a model in which reductase is dislodged into the cytosol from an ER subdomain closely associated with lipid droplets.

Project description:Statins are competitive inhibitors of (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A) HMG-CoA reductase. The primary mechanism of statins is the lowering of serum cholesterol through inhibiting hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis. Statins exert pleiotropic vasoprotective and atheroprotective effects in the vasculature, with its mechanism of action being incompletely understood.To depict the statin-regulated mRNA,long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) in human endothelial cells, we performed transcriptomic profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with atorvastatin treatment.Differentially expressed mRNA, lncRNA and circRNA may represent novel therapeutic targets against cardiovascular diseases.
