Background/Aims: Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) 1, the master regulator of lipogenesis, was shown to be associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is attributed to its major isoform SREBP1c. Based on studies in mice, the minor isoform SREBP1a is regarded as negligible for hepatic lipogenesis. This study aims to elucidate the expression and functional role of SREBP1a in human liver. Methods: mRNA expression of both isoforms was quantified in cohorts of human livers and primary human hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were treated with PF-429242 to inhibit the proteolytic activation of SREBP precursor protein. SREBP1a-specifc and pan-SREBP1 knock-down were performed by transfection of respective siRNAs. Lipogenic SREBP-target gene expression was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Results: In human liver, SREBP1a accounts for up to half of the total SREBP1 pool. Treatment with PF-429242 indicated SREBP-dependent auto-regulation of SREBP1a, which however was much weaker than of SREBP1c. SREBP1a-specifc knock-down also reduced significantly the expression of SREBP1c and of SREBP-target genes. Regarding most SREBP-target genes, simultaneous knock-down of both isoforms resulted in effects of only similar extent as SREBP1a-specific knock-down. Conclusion: We here showed that SREBP1a is significantly contributing to the human hepatic SREBP1 pool and has a share in human hepatic lipogenic gene expression.

Abstract The sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors known to activate the transcription of genes encoding key lipogenic enzymes. The present study reports on the molecular cloning, tissue expression and nutritional regulation of SREBP-1 from the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (Miers, 1876). The SREBP-1 full-length cDNA was 3785 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 1039 amino acids. Quantitative PCR analysis revealed that SREBP-1 expression was detected in various tissues, and the significantly higher expression levels were found in eyestalk and hepatopancreas compared with other tested tissues. Additionally, the effects of dietary iron on expression of SREBP-1 were investigated, and the results indicated that SREBP-1 expressions were down-regulated by crabs fed diets containing 218.9 and 373.9 mg/kg iron compared with that fed the basal diet (55.2 mg/kg). Suggesting that the relative expression level of SREBP-1 can be suppressed by dietary iron supplementation. These findings provide further insight into the regulatory capacity of SREBP-1 in the lipid anabolism of P. trituberculatus.
