Abstract
Adipose tissue is an essential tissue for lipid deposition in fish and is associated with excess lipid accumulation in aquaculture. However, the knowledge of the distribution and characterization of adipose tissue in fish still needs further investigation. This study for the first time discovered perirenal adipose tissue (PAT) in large yellow croaker by MRI and CT technologies. Then, the morphological and cytological characteristics of PAT were observed, showing a typical characteristic of white adipose tissue. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression of marker genes of white adipose tissue was highly expressed in PAT compared with the liver and muscle in large yellow croaker. Moreover, based on the discovery of PAT, preadipocytes from PAT were isolated, and the differentiation system of preadipocytes was established. The lipid droplet and TG content of cell were gradually increased during adipocyte differentiation. In addition, mRNA expressions of lipoprotein lipase, adipose triglyceride lipase, and transcription factors related to adipogenesis (cebpα, srebp1, pparα, and pparγ) were quantified to explain the regulation mechanism during the differentiation process. In summary, the present study first discovered perirenal adipose tissue in fish, then explored the characterization of PAT, and revealed the regulation of adipocyte differentiation. These results could advance the understanding of adipose tissue in fish and provide a novel idea for the study of the mechanism of lipid accumulation.

ANIMAL NUTRITION 2022; 13:185-196. [PMID: 37123617 PMCID: PMC10131065 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2022.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a biologically active fatty acid that reduces the accumulation of lipids. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this process, particularly in fish, is not well understood. Recent studies show that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress triggers the activation of the unfolded protein response, which has been revealed to play an essential role in lipid metabolism. In this study, we explored the effect of DHA on ER stress and investigated the potential molecular mechanisms underlying DHA-induced adipocyte lipolysis in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) both in vivo and in vitro. We found that DHA remarkably reduced the triglyceride content, increased the secretion of glycerol, promoted lipolysis in adipocytes and evoked ER stress, whereas inhibiting ER stress using 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA) inhibited the effects of DHA (P < 0.05). These results implied that ER stress potentially participates in DHA-induced adipocyte lipolysis. Additionally, STF-083010, a specific inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)-inhibitor, attenuated the effects of DHA on lipolysis, demonstrating that IRE1α and X-box binding protein 1 potentially participate in DHA-induced lipolysis. DHA also activated the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) pathway by increasing the level of cAMP and activating the PKA enzyme (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, H89, a PKA inhibitor, weakened DHA-induced lipolysis by inhibiting the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Furthermore, inhibiting ER stress using 4-PBA also inhibited lipolysis and alleviated DHA-induced activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, suggesting that ER stress may participate in DHA-induced lipolysis through the activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Our data illustrate that DHA supplementation can be a promising nutritional strategy for ameliorating lipid accumulation in grass carp. The present study elucidated the molecular mechanism for DHA-induced lipolysis in grass carp adipocytes and emphasized the importance of ER stress and the cAMP/PKA pathway in DHA-induced lipolysis. These results deepen our understanding of ameliorating lipids deposition in freshwater fish by targeting DHA.

Abstract
Omega-3 fatty acids have a positive effect on the muscle textural firmness of fish, while the intrinsic mechanism is poorly understood. To investigate the potential mechanism of textural modification caused by dietary docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.), three plant-derived diets with varying DHA levels (0%, 0.5%, 1%, D1-D3) were prepared to feed juveniles (initial weight 15.27 ± 0.77 g) for 8 weeks, and the muscular texture, fibers density, and transcriptome were analyzed. The results showed that the growth performance, muscular DHA content, fibers density, and texture of the fish fed diets D2 and D3 were significantly ameliorated compared with the fish fed diet D1. The muscular transcriptome profiles indicated that the up-regulated genes of fish fed dietary DHA mainly in response to muscle proliferation, as well as the FoxO pathway, were significantly enriched in the D2 and D3 groups. Consistent with this, the Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR ) assays indicated that the expression of myogenic regulatory factors (myog, myod, mrf4, mrf5) was up-regulated in the high-DHA groups. Additionally, the expression of foxo1 (inhibitor of myofiber development) mRNA was down-regulated, while its negative regulatory pathway (MAPK and PI3K) was activated in the D2 and D3 groups. The results suggested that the DHA supplementation is beneficial to modifying the muscular textural firmness of common carp fed plant-derived diets, which could be attributed to the inhibition of FoxO1 pathways.

Effects of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids levels on growth, lipid metabolism and innate immunity in juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 105:177-185. [PMID: 32634552 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2020.06.060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the effects of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) levels on growth, lipid metabolism and innate immunity in juvenile golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus, a marine carnivorous teleost, a total of 450 fish (average body weight: 14.84 g) were randomly distributed into 18 cages at sea, each dietary group with three cages and respectively fed six diets (D1-D6) with 2.30% (D1), 0.64% (D2), 1.00% (D3), 1.24% (D4), 1.73% (D5), or 2.10% (D6) n-3 HUFA. Here, D1 with fish oil as lipid source was set as control, while D2-D6 used a mixed vegetable oil as lipid source and supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid- (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid- (EPA) enriched oils to adjust the n-3 HUFA levels. After 8 weeks feeding, the daily growth coefficient (DGC), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency ratio (FER) showed no significant difference among the six dietary groups (P > 0.05). The levels of EPA and DHA in serum and liver increased with the dietary n-3 HUFA levels. The activity of total superoxide disumutase (T-SOD) in serum of fish fed D4 and D5 were significantly higher than that of the other groups, whereas the opposite was true for serum IL-1β and IL-6 levels as well as liver malondialdehyde (MDA) content. The mRNA levels of genes related to hepatic lipid metabolism including sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (srebp-1), fatty acid binding protein 1 (fabp1), peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor alpha (pparα), elongase of very long-chain fatty acids 5 (elovl5) and fatty acyl desaturase 2 (fads2) were down-regulated in fish fed the diets with high n-3 HUFA levels, while those of apolipoprotein b 100 (aprob 100) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (cpt1) increased significantly as increasing n-3 HUFA levels up to 1.73% (D2-D5), but decreased in the 2.10% n-3 HUFA group (D6). In addition, the expression levels of genes related to innate immunity including interleukin-10 (il-10) and transforming growth factor β1 (tgf-β1) increased significantly when dietary n-3 HUFA increased from 0.64% to 1.73%, whereas the opposite was true for the expression levels of nuclear factor kappa-B (nf-κb), interleukin-1β (il-1β), interleukin-6 (il-6) and interleukin-8 (il-8). Overall, the results indicated that dietary n-3 HUFA at 1.24-1.73% (D4-D5) can effectively improve fatty acid profiles, lipid metabolism, antioxidant capacity and immune response of golden pompano.

Abstract
Our previous study has shown that overload of lipid accumulation results in cell apoptosis and inflammation in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). In this study, we investigated the potential protective effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on inhibiting oleic acid (OA)-induced apoptosis and inflammation in grass carp hepatocytes. Firstly, the hepatocyte of grass carp were treated with OA (800 μM) and different concentration (0, 50, 100 and 200 μM) of DHA for 24 h, the apoptotic ratio, gene expression levels of apoptosis such as caspase 3, caspase 8, and caspase 9, protein levels of Caspase3, and mRNA levels of inflammation genes such as nf-kb, tnf-α, and il-8 were detected. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of lipogenesis genes srebp1c, fas, acc, and scd and a key enzyme of lipolysis Atgl were also detected. These results showed that the cell apoptosis and the inflammation increased by OA were significantly attenuated by DHA (P < 0.05). Furthermore, DHA could significantly decrease fatty acid synthesis gene expression levels which were induced by OA (P < 0.05). However, the hepatocytes exposed with DHA had no significant influence on the expression of Atgl. Taken together, the study indicated that DHA protects the hepatocytes against apoptosis and inflammation induced by OA might via inhibiting fatty acid synthesis, instead of promoting lipolysis. These results call for further studies to assess the effectiveness of DHA.

Abstract
The role of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in browning and thermogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Thus, we meant to evaluate the effect of EPA and DHA, administered alone or combined, with the activation of browning markers in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT), and thermogenic markers in brown adipose tissue (BAT). C57BL/6 adult male mice received a control diet or a high-fructose diet (HFru) for eight weeks, but after the first three weeks, HFru was divided into new groups: HFru, HFru + EPA, HFru + DHA, and HFru-EPA + DHA. EPA and DHA diminished adipocyte hypertrophy, recovered markers of browning in sWAT and thermogenic factors in the BAT, and improved gene expressions linked with mitochondrial biogenesis and lipid metabolism. Importantly, EPA and DHA administrated alone showed stronger results than the combination of EPA + DHA. The results suggest that EPA and DHA might be useful as adjuvant strategies to treat metabolic-associated disorders.

Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) on lipid accumulation in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella adipose tissue both in vitro and in vivo. EPA was observed to inhibit the adipocyte viability in a time and dose-dependent manner. EPA was also found to induce reactive oxygen species accumulation in vitro. The mRNA levels of caspase 3a and caspase 3b, as well as the activity of Caspase 3 increased significantly in vitro and in vivo, whereas the value of B cell leukemia 2-Bcl-2 associated X protein decreased significantly. Besides, the pro-apoptotic effect was relieved by α-tocopherol. Dietary 0.52% EPA had no apparent effect on intraperitoneal fat index. Moreover, EPA promoted the hydrolytic gene expressions in vitro and in vivo, including adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone sensitive lipase-a. Meanwhile, the lipogenic gene expressions of liver X receptor α, sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c and fatty-acid synthase were down-regulated by EPA in vitro and in vivo. However, EPA also acted to promote the marker gene expressions of adipogenesis, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and lipoprotein lipase in vitro and in vivo. Contents of EPA increased significantly in the treatment groups in vitro and in vivo. These results support that EPA affects multiple aspects of lipid metabolism, including hydrolysis, lipogenesis, adipogenesis and apoptosis. However, it barely functioned in decreasing the lipid accumulation of Ctenopharyngodon idella under the current culture conditions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism of by which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) inhibit the accumulation of adipose tissue lipid in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). We therefore designed two semi-purified diets, namely DHA-free (control) and DHA-supplemented, and fed them to grass carp (22.19 ± 1.76 g) for 3 and 6 weeks. DHA supplementation led to a significantly lower intraperitoneal fat index (IPFI) than that in the control group by reducing the number of adipocytes but significantly higher adipocyte size (P < 0.05). In the intraperitoneal adipose tissue, the DHA-fed group showed significantly higher peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ, CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP)α, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)1c mRNA expression levels at both 3 and 6 weeks (P < 0.05). However, the ratio of the expression levels of B cell leukemia 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) was significantly lower in the DHA-fed group than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the protein expression levels of the apoptosis-related proteins caspase 3, caspase 8, and caspase 9 were also significantly higher (P < 0.05). Overall, although DHA promotes lipid synthesis, it is more likely that DHA could suppress the lipid accumulation in adipocytes of grass carp by inducing adipocyte apoptosis.

Abstract
AbstractFour isonitrogenous and isoenergetic purified diets containing free arachidonic acid (ARA) or EPA (control group), 0·30 % ARA, 0·30 % EPA and 0·30 % ARA+EPA (equivalent) were designed to feed juvenile grass carp (10·21 (sd 0·10) g) for 10 weeks. Only the EPA group presented better growth performance compared with the control group (P<0·05). Dietary ARA and EPA were incorporated into polar lipids more than non-polar lipids in hepatopancreas but not intraperitoneal fat (IPF) tissue. Fish fed ARA and EPA showed an increase of serum superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, and decrease of glutathione peroxidase activity and malondialdehyde contents (P<0·05). The hepatopancreatic TAG levels decreased both in ARA and EPA groups (P<0·05), accompanied by the decrease of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in the ARA group (P<0·05). Fatty acid synthase (FAS), diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase and apoE gene expression in the hepatopancreas decreased in fish fed ARA and EPA, but only the ARA group exhibited increased mRNA level of adipose TAG lipase (ATGL) (P<0·05). Decreased IPF index and adipocyte sizes were found in the ARA group (P<0·05). Meanwhile, the ARA group showed decreased expression levels of adipogenic genes CCAAT enhancer-binding protein α, LPL and FAS, and increased levels of the lipid catabolic genes PPARα, ATGL, hormone-sensitive lipase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1) in IPF, whereas the EPA group only increased PPARα and CPT-1 mRNA expression and showed less levels than the ARA group. Overall, dietary EPA is beneficial to the growth performance, whereas ARA is more potent in inducing lipolysis and inhibiting adipogenesis, especially in IPF. Meanwhile, dietary ARA and EPA showed the similar preference in esterification and the improvement in antioxidant response.

Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on grass carp preadipocyte glycerol kinase (GyK) expression, as well as to explore the mechanism. Here, we cloned partial sequence of grass carp GyK gene and analyzed its tissue distribution. The result showed that GyK gene expressed most in the liver, followed by adipose tissue and the kidney. Besides, 400 μM oleic acid (18:1n-9, OA) was used to establish a hypertrophic preadipocyte model. GyK gene expression and enzyme activity were significantly enhanced after model cells were treated with 100 μM eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) for 6, 12, and 24 h. Meanwhile, peroxisome proliferative-activated receptor (PPAR)γ, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), and the two isoforms of grass carp HSL gene were first identified by Sun et al (2016), and they defined the two isoforms as HSLa and HSLb. Therefore, maybe HSLa and HSLb are appropriate.. The content of triglyceride was dramatically increased by EPA treatment for 24 h. Further, a competitive ATGL antagonist, HY-15859, attenuated the increase in GyK induced by EPA at 12 h. Surprisingly, the enhanced lipolysis and PPARγ gene expression induced by serum deprivation were paralleled by an increase in GyK gene expression, whereas a stabilization in GyK enzyme activity. Other fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, and OA also promoted GyK gene expression. Moreover, an irreversible PPARγ antagonist, GW9662, was used to investigate the role of PPARγ in GyK induction. Data showed that GW9662 abolished the induction of GyK by EPA at 12 h. Together, these data suggested that EPA elevated grass carp preadipocytes GyK expression. ATGL and PPARγ contributed to the induction of GyK. PPARγ may be a key regulator in response to GyK expression induced by EPA.

Abstract
Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), may contribute to hepatic steatosis in the situation of excess lipid accumulation in farmed fish. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory factor and promotes lipolysis. Accordingly, we isolated PEDF from grass carp and investigated its role in TNFα-induced hepatic steatosis. Sequence analysis showed that PEDF gene, which possesses 8 exons and 7 introns, encodes a protein with 409 amino acids. PEDF was a critical determinant of the transcriptional response to nutrient availability in grass carp. Endogenous PEDF was an intracellular protein with cytoplasmic distribution and directly interacts with adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), which might mediate PEDF-induced lipolysis. TNFα significantly promoted lipid accumulation in vivo and in vitro, accompanied with a decrease in mRNA levels of PEDF and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). Recombinant PEDF and PPARα agonist diminished the TNFα-induced hepatic steatosis. Meanwhile, PPARα agonist caused an increase in PEDF expression, suggesting that TNFα antagonizes the actions of PEDF possibly in a PPARα-dependent manner. These findings suggest that PEDF is an important protective factor against hepatic steatosis induced by TNFα, which provided a new therapeutic target for inflammation-associated hepatic steatosis.

Abstract
Adipose tissue function is key determinant of metabolic health, with specific nutrients being suggested to play a role in tissue metabolism. One such group of nutrients are the n-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3). Results from studies where human, animal and cellular models have been utilised to investigate the effects of EPA and/or DHA on white adipose tissue/adipocytes suggest anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory effects. We review here evidence for these effects, specifically focusing on studies that provide some insight into metabolic pathways or processes. Of note, limited work has been undertaken investigating the effects of EPA and DHA on white adipose tissue in humans whilst more work has been undertaken using animal and cellular models. Taken together it would appear that EPA and DHA have a positive effect on lowering lipogenesis, increasing lipolysis and decreasing inflammation, all of which would be beneficial for adipose tissue biology. What remains to be elucidated is the duration and dose required to see a favourable effect of EPA and DHA in vivo in humans, across a range of adiposity.
