Excessive fat deposition in the hepatocytes, associated with excess dietary fat intake, was related to the occurrence of fatty livers in fish. miR-101b plays the important roles in controlling lipid metabolism, but the underlying mechanism at the post-transcriptional level remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the roles and mechanism of miR-101b-mediating lipid deposition and metabolism in yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. We found that miR-101b directly targeted fatty acid translocase (cd36), caspase9 (casp9) and autophagy-related gene 4A (atg4a). Furthermore, using palmitic acid (PA) or oleic acid (OA) to incubate the primary hepatocytes of yellow catfish, we demonstrated that miR-101b inversely regulated cd36, casp9, and atg4a expression at the transcriptional level; the inhibition of miR-101b aggravated fatty acids (FAs, PA or OA)-induced lipid accumulation, indicating that miR-101b mediated FAs-induced variations of lipid metabolism in yellow catfish. Taken together, our study gave novel insight into the regulatory mechanism of lipid deposition and metabolism and might provide potential targets for the prevention and treatment of fatty livers in fish.

AbstractDysregulation in hepatic lipid synthesis by excess dietary carbohydrate intake is often relevant with the occurrence of fatty liver; therefore, the thorough understanding of the regulation of lipid deposition and metabolism seems crucial to search for potential regulatory targets. In the present study, we examined TAG accumulation, lipid metabolism-related gene expression, the enzyme activities of lipogenesis-related enzymes, the protein levels of transcription factors or genes involving lipogenesis in the livers of yellow catfish fed five dietary carbohydrate sources, such as glucose, maize starch, sucrose, potato starch and dextrin, respectively. Generally speaking, compared with other carbohydrate sources, dietary glucose promoted TAG accumulation, up-regulated lipogenic enzyme activities and gene expressions, and down-regulated mRNA expression of genes involved in lipolysis and small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) modification pathways. Further studies found that sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1), a key transcriptional factor relevant to lipogenic regulation, was modified by SUMO1. Mutational analyses found two important sites for SUMOylation modification (K254R and K264R) in SREBP1. Mutant SREBP lacking lysine 264 up-regulated the transactivation capacity on an SREBP-responsive promoter. Glucose reduced the SUMOylation level of SREBP1 and promoted the protein expression of SREBP1 and its target gene stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), indicating that SUMOylation of SREBP1 mediated glucose-induced hepatic lipid metabolism. Our study elucidated the molecular mechanism of dietary glucose increasing hepatic lipid deposition and found that the SREBP-dependent transactivation was regulated by SUMO1 modification, which served as a new target for the transcriptional programmes governing lipid metabolism.

AbstractThe present study explored the mechanisms of dietary Zn influencing Zn and lipid deposition in the fore- and mid- intestine in yellow catfishPelteobagrus fulvidraco, and investigated whether the mechanism was intestinal-region dependent. For this purpose, yellow catfish were fed three diets containing Zn levels of 8·83, 19·20 and 146·65 mg Zn/kg, respectively. Growth performance, intestinal TAG and Zn contents as well as activities and mRNA expression of enzymes and genes involved in Zn transport and lipid metabolism in the fore- and mid-intestine were analysed. Dietary Zn increased Zn accumulation as well as activities of Cu-, Zn-superoxide dismutase and ATPase in the fore- and mid-intestine. In the fore-intestine, dietary Zn up-regulated mRNA levels of ZnT1, ZnT5, ZnT7, metallothionein (MT) and metal response element-binding transcription factor-1 (MTF-1), but down-regulated mRNA levels of ZIP4 and ZIP5. In the mid-intestine, dietary Zn up-regulated mRNA levels of ZnT1, ZnT5, ZnT7, MT and MTF-1, but down-regulated mRNA levels of ZIP4 and ZIP5. Dietary Zn reduced TAG content, down-regulated activities of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), malic enzyme (ME) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) activities, and reduced mRNA levels of 6PGD, G6PD, FAS, PPARγand sterol-regulator element-binding protein (SREBP-1), but up-regulated mRNA levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase IA, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSLa), adipose TAG lipase (ATGL) and PPARαin the fore-intestine. In the mid-intestine, dietary Zn reduced TAG content, activities of G6PD, ME, isocitrate dehydrogenase and FAS, down-regulated mRNA levels of 6PGD, G6PD, FAS, acetyl-CoA carboxylase a, PPARγand SREBP-1, but up-regulated mRNA expression of HSLa, ATGL and PPARγ. The reduction in TAG content following Zn addition was attributable to reduced lipogenesis and increased lipolysis, and similar regulatory mechanisms were observed between the fore- and mid-intestine.

ABSTRACT Background Dietary carbohydrate affects intestinal glucose absorption and lipid deposition, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Objectives We used yellow catfish and their isolated intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) to test the hypothesis that sodium/glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) 1/2 and acetylated carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) mediated glucose-induced changes in glucose absorption and lipid metabolism. Methods Yellow catfish (mean ± SEM weight: 4.68 ± 0.02 g, 3 mo old, mixed sex) were fed diets containing 250 g carbohydrates/kg from glucose (G, control), corn starch (CS), sucrose (S), potato starch (PS), or dextrin (D) for 10 wk. IECs were isolated from different yellow catfish and incubated for 24 h in a control or glucose (15 mM) solution with or without a 2-h pretreatment with an inhibitor [sotagliflozin (LX-4211) or tubastatin A (TBSA)]. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T cells) were transfected with a Flag-ChREBP plasmid to explore ChREBP acetylation. Triglyceride (TG) and glucose concentrations and enzymatic activities were measured in the intestine and IECs of yellow catfish. They also were subjected to immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, qPCR, and immunoblotting. Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation were performed with HEK293T cells. Results The G group had greater intestine TGs (0.99- to 2.30-fold); activities of glucose 6-phospate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase (0.12- to 2.10-fold); and expression of lipogenic genes (0.32- to 2.34-fold) than the CS, PS, and D groups. The G group had greater intestine sglt1/2 mRNA and protein expression than the CS, S and D groups (0.35- to 1.12-fold and 0.40- to 4.67-fold, respectively), but lower mRNA amounts of lipolytic genes (48.6%–65.8%) than the CS and PS groups. LX-4211 alleviated the glucose-induced increase in sglt1/2 mRNA (38.2%–47.4%) and SGLT1 protein (48.0%) expression, TGs (29.3%), and lipogenic enzyme activities (27.7%–42.1%) and gene expression (38.0%–55.5%) in the IECs. TBSA promoted the glucose-induced increase in TGs (11.3%), fatty acid synthase activity (32.6%), and lipogenic gene expression (21.6%–34.4%) in the IECs and acetylated ChREBP (10.5%) in HEK293T cells. Conclusions SGLT1/2 signaling and acetylated ChREBP mediated glucose-induced changes in glucose absorption and lipid metabolism in the intestine and IECs of yellow catfish.
