The aim of our study was to analyze mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) gene expression profiles in subcutaneous (SAT) and epicardial (EAT) adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and myocardium in patients with and without CAD undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Thirty-eight patients, 27 with (CAD group) and 11 without CAD (noCAD group), undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valvular surgery were included in the study. EAT, SAT, intercostal skeletal muscle, and right atrium tissue and blood samples were collected at the start and end of surgery; mRNA expression of selected mitochondrial and ER stress genes was assessed using qRT-PCR. The presence of CAD was associated with decreased mRNA expression of most of the investigated mitochondrial respiratory chain genes in EAT, while no such changes were seen in SAT or other tissues. In contrast, the expression of ER stress genes did not differ between the CAD and noCAD groups in almost any tissue. Cardiac surgery further augmented mitochondrial dysfunction in EAT. In our study, CAD was associated with decreased expression of mitochondrial, but not endoplasmic reticulum stress genes in EAT. These changes may contribute to the acceleration of coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract Objectives To determine if diferent plant bioactive compounds can ammelirate endoplasmic reticulum stress markers in liver and adipose tissue of obese mice and mice administered with a low dose of tunicamicin. Methods C57BL6 mice were fed a control diet (7% fat) or a high-fat diet (21% fat) with and without genistein or resveratrol supplementation (0.1%) for 12 weeks. Pharmacologic ER stress was induced in mice fed the control diet by an ip injection of a low dose of tunicamycin and euthanized 8 or 24 h after tunicamycin administration. Adipose tissues and liver were harvested to determine the abundance of ER stress markers by western blot and real time PCR. Results Genistein and resveratrol reduced the abundance of phospho JNK and phospho PERK in liver and subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese mice and lean mice administered with tunicamycin. Both polyphenols increased the mRNA abundance of XBP1s and BiP and reduced that of CHOP in both organs. These changes in proten phosphorylation and gene expression were accompanied with reduced hepatic steatosis and adipocyte hypertrophy. Conclusions The supplementation with plant polyphenols such as genistein or resveratrol reduced ER stress markers in liver and adipose tissue of obese mice and lean mice administerd with tunicamycin.
