Dietary lipid sources affect growth performance, lipid deposition, antioxidant capacity and inflammatory response of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 150:109635. [PMID: 38754648 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
The present study explored the effects of different lipid sources on growth performance, lipid deposition, antioxidant capacity, inflammatory response and disease resistance of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Four isonitrogenous (crude protein 50.46 %) and isolipidic (crude lipid 11.12 %) diets were formulated to contain 7 % of different oil sources including fish oil (FO) (control), soybean oil (SO), linseed oil (LO) and coconut oil (CO). Largemouth bass with initial body weight of 36.0 ± 0.2 g were randomly distributed into 12 tanks, with 30 fish per tank and 3 tanks per treatment. The fish were fed with the experiment diets twice daily for 8 weeks. The results indicated that the weight gain of largemouth bass fed the FO diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the LO and CO diets. The liver crude lipid content in FO group was significantly higher than other groups, while the highest liver triglyceride content was showed in SO group and the lowest was detected in LO group. At transcriptional level, expression of lipogenesis related genes (pparγ, srebp1, fas, acc, dgat1 and dgat2) in the SO and CO group were significantly higher than the FO group. However, the expression of lipolysis and fatty acids oxidation related genes (pparα, cpt1, and aco) in vegetable oils groups were significantly higher than the FO group. As to the antioxidant capacity, vegetable oils significantly reduced the malondialdehyde content of largemouth bass. Total antioxidant capacity in the SO and LO groups were significantly increased compared with the FO group. Catalase in the LO group was significantly increased compared with the FO group. Furthermore, the ER stress related genes, such as grp78, atf6α, atf6β, chop and xbp1 were significantly enhanced in the vegetable oil groups compared with the FO group. The activity of serum lysozyme in vegetable oil groups were significantly higher than in FO group. Additionally, the relative expression of non-specific immune related genes, including tlr2, mapk11, mapk13, mapk14, rela, tgf-β1, tnfα, 5lox, il-1β and il10, were all significantly increased in SO and CO groups compared to the other groups. In conclusion, based on the indexes including growth performance, lipid deposition, antioxidant capacity and inflammatory response, SO and LO could be alternative oil sources for largemouth bass.

The effect of dietary administration of Saussurea lappa root on performance, blood biochemical indices, redox status, innate immune response, intestinal microbial population and resistance against A. hydrophila infections of Tilapia Fingerlings. J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl) 2024. [PMID: 38851860 DOI: 10.1111/jpn.13998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
This experiment was performed to identify the influence of dietary Saussurea lappa root (SLR) on the performance and general health status of Nile Tilapia fingerlings (O. niloticus). Four formulated diets with different SLR levels of 0.0, 2.5, 5 and 10 g/kg, respectively, were afforded to fingerling fish (15.42 ± 0.05 g) for 8 weeks. The feed efficiency ratio (FER), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio varied with dietary SLR level in a linear model and a high feed efficiency rate was recorded at the 10 g/kg group, while FI and FCR exhibited an opposite trend (P < 0.001). Dietary SLR level influenced serum protein constituents, liver and renal function enzymes, triglycerides, cholesterol and glucose (P < 0.001). Serum Catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) remarkedly increased with dietary SLR level and attained a level at 10 g/kg. Furthermore, serum lysozyme, complement C3 (C3), IgA and IgD were stimulated by 10 g/kg SLR. Intestinal digestive enzymes (lipase and amylase) increased with SLR level up to 10 g/kg. As the dietary SLR level raised, the cumulative survival percentage aginst A. hydrophila challenge increased and then reached a maximum at 10 g/kg SLR group. Moreover, gene expression of pro-inflammation cytokines (TNF-2a, IL-1β, and IL-10) in liver and kidney transcriptomes demonstrated effective immunostimulant capabilities of greater SLR inclusion levels in fish diet. Meanwhile, intestinal microbial investigation, revealed that high levels of SLR in tilapia fish feed significantly suppressed total bacterial count, and pathogenic bacterial count (such as, E. coli, Coliform, Aeromonas spp, Pseudomonas spp.), and stimulated lactic acid bacteria development. Finally, it is recommended to include a high level of SLR (5 or 10 g/kg) in the diet of O. niloticus fingerlings to enhance feed efficiency, antioxidant characteristics, and immunological response against bacterial infections.

Integrated analysis of microbiome and host transcriptome reveals the damage/protective mechanism of corn oil and olive oil on the gut health of grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ E. lanceolatu). Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127550. [PMID: 37865354 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
As digestive and immune organs of animals, the gut was frequently used to evaluate the health status of aquatic animals. In previous oil source alternatives study, corn oil (CO) had been found to induce gut inflammation, while olive oil (OO) had been found to be effective in protecting intestinal health. Three diets with different oil sources (fish oil, CO, OO) were formulated for an 8-week culture experiment, and it was proposed to combine 16S sequencing and transcriptome sequencing analysis to preliminarily elucidate the damage/protection mechanism of CO and OO on the gut health of grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ E. lanceolatu). We found that CO indeed damaged to gut health and destroyed the gut structure, while OO had a positive outcome in protecting the gut structure, promoting digestibility and relieving enteritis. Photobacterium, Romboutsia and Epulopiscium were significantly enriched in OO group and Staphylococcus were significantly enriched in CO group. Transcriptome sequencing further revealed CO could activated Complement and coagulation cascades, Staphylococcus aureus infection, Systemic lupus erythematosus, and Tuberculosis pathways; conversely, OO activated B-cell signaling receptors, promoted B-cell proliferation and apoptosis, and thus activated B-cell signaling pathways to enhance immunity, whereas OO can regulate IL17 signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway to inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce pro-inflammatory response. By integrating the microbiome and transcriptome, further identified all differential microorganisms were directly and significantly correlated with differential genes, and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, Romboutsia, Staphylococcus might as the core regulates the expression of differential gene in the organism. These results reveal that different oil sources alter gut gene expression mainly by modulating the composition and abundance of gut microbiota, further regulating the health status of the gut. Gut microbiota could be used as biomarkers to provide reference and solutions for the mitigation of inflammation in aquatic animals.

Abstract
SCOPE Olive oil, rapeseed oil, and lard are dietary fats rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, but the effects of dietary oils enriched in monounsaturated fatty acids on hepatic lipid deposition have seldom been compared. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety 8-week-old C57BL/6J male mice are randomly divided into six groups and fed diets containing lard, rapeseed oil, or olive oil with a 10% or 45% fat energy supply for 16 weeks. Under high-fat conditions, serum total cholesterol levels in the lard and olive oil groups are significantly higher than those in the rapeseed oil group. Hepatic lipid content in the olive oil group is higher than that in the other two groups. Compared with rapeseed oil, lard increases the liver levels of arachidonic, palmitic, and myristic acids and decreases the levels of eicosapentaenoic linolenic acid and linoleic acid. Olive oil increases the liver levels of docosatrienoic, arachidonic, oleic, and myristic acids; maltose; and fructose and decreases the levels of eicosapentaenoic, linolenic, and linoleic acids. CONCLUSION Olive oil probably causes hepatic lipid deposition in mice, which may enhance hepatic lipid synthesis by activating the starch and sucrose metabolic pathways. By contrast, rapeseed oil shows a significant anti-lipid deposition effect on the liver.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2023; 1868:159397. [PMID: 37741313 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2023.159397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023]
Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the main carrier of cholesterol transport in plasma, which participates in regulating lipid homeostasis. Studies in mammals have shown that high levels of LDL in plasma absorbed by macrophages trigger the formation of lipid-rich foam cells, leading to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Although lipid-rich atherosclerosis-like lesions have been discovered in the aorta of several fish species, the physiological function of LDL in fish macrophages remains poorly understood. In the present study, LDL was isolated from the plasma of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), and mass spectrometry analysis identified two truncated forms of apolipoprotein B100 in the LDL protein profile. Transcriptomic analysis of LDL-stimulated macrophages revealed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in various pathways related to lipid metabolism, as confirmed by the fact that LDL increased total cholesterol and cholesteryl esters content. Meanwhile, the gene and protein expression levels of perilipin2 (PLIN2), a DEG enriched in the PPAR signaling pathway, were upregulated in response to LDL stimulation. Importantly, knocking down plin2 significantly attenuates LDL-induced cholesterol accumulation and promotes cholesterol efflux. Furthermore, the transcription factor PPARγ, which is upregulated in response to LDL stimulation, can enhance the promoter activity of plin2. In conclusion, this study suggests that LDL may upregulate plin2 expression through PPARγ, resulting in cholesterol accumulation in fish macrophages. This study will facilitate the investigation of the function of LDL in regulating lipid homeostasis in macrophages and shed light on the evolutionary origin of LDL metabolism in vertebrates.

Phosphatidylethanolamine alleviates OX-LDL-induced macrophage inflammation by upregulating autophagy and inhibiting NLRP1 inflammasome activation. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 208:402-417. [PMID: 37660837 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.08.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL)-induced inflammation and autophagy dysregulation are important events in the progression of atherosclerosis. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), a multifunctional phospholipid that is enriched in cells, has been proven to be directly involved in autophagy which is closely associated with inflammation. However, whether PE can influence OX-LDL-induced autophagy dysregulation and inflammation has not been reported. In the present study, we revealed that OX-LDL significantly induced macrophage inflammation through the CD36-NLRP1-caspase-1 signaling pathway in fish. Meanwhile, cellular PE levels were significantly decreased in response to OX-LDL induction. Based on the relationship between PE and autophagy, we then examined the effect of PE supplementation on OX-LDL-mediated autophagy impairment and inflammation induction in macrophages. As expected, exogenous PE restored impaired autophagy and alleviated inflammation in OX-LDL-stimulated cells. Notably, autophagy inhibitors reversed the inhibitory effect of PE on OX-LDL-induced maturation of IL-1β, indicating that the regulation of PE on OX-LDL-induced inflammation is dependent on autophagy. Furthermore, the positive effect of PE on OX-LDL-induced inflammation was relatively conserved in mouse and fish macrophages. In conclusion, we elucidated the role of the CD36-NLRP1-caspase-1 signaling pathway in OX-LDL-induced inflammation in fish and revealed for the first time that altering PE abundance in OX-LDL-treated cells could alleviate inflammasome-mediated inflammation by inducing autophagy. Given the relationship between OX-LDL-induced inflammation and atherosclerosis, this study prompts that the use of PE-rich foods promises to be a new strategy for atherosclerosis treatment in vertebrates.

Abstract
AIM The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide, but there are currently limited treatment options available. Therefore, it is necessary to research new treatment strategies. Zhuyu Pill (ZYP) is a well-known herbal recipe consisting of Huanglian (Coptidis rhizoma) and Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus) that has been clinically used to treat NAFLD. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ZYP on NAFLD induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) and to identify its potential mechanism. METHODS In this investigation, we used ZYP to treat a mouse model of NAFLD induced by an HFD. We conducted various analyses including assessment of serum biochemical indices, histological evaluation, fecal metabonomics analysis, western blot, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS ZYP effectively improved blood lipid levels and reduced inflammatory response in HFD mice, while also alleviating liver cell damage and lipid accumulation. Additionally, ZYP influenced the fecal bile acid (BA) metabolism profiles of HFD mice by inhibiting the signal transduction of ileal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15), enhancing the expression of cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1(CYP7A1), promoting BA synthesis and increasing the metabolic elimination of cholesterol. CONCLUSION ZYP shows promise as a potential treatment for alleviating NAFLD by modulating BA metabolism through the FXR-FGF15-CYP7A1 pathway.

Oleic acid as potential immunostimulant in metabolism pathways of hybrid grouper fingerlings (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × Epinephelus lanceolatus) infected with Vibrio vulnificus. Sci Rep 2023; 13:12830.

Abstract
Grouper culture has been expanding in Malaysia due to the huge demand locally and globally. However, due to infectious diseases such as vibriosis, the fish mortality rate increased, which has affected the production of grouper. Therefore, this study focuses on the metabolic profiling of surviving infected grouper fed with different formulations of fatty acid diets that acted as immunostimulants for the fish to achieve desirable growth and health performance. After a six-week feeding trial and one-week post-bacterial challenge, the surviving infected grouper was sampled for GC-MS analysis. For metabolite extraction, a methanol/chloroform/water (2:2:1.8) extraction method was applied to the immune organs (spleen and liver) of surviving infected grouper. The distribution patterns of metabolites between experimental groups were then analyzed using a metabolomics platform. A total of 50 and 81 metabolites were putatively identified from the spleen and liver samples, respectively. Our further analysis identified glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, and alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism had the most impacted pathways, respectively, in spleen and liver samples from surviving infected grouper. The metabolites that were highly abundant in the spleen found in these pathways were glycine (20.9%), l-threonine (1.0%) and l-serine (0.8%). Meanwhile, in the liver l-glutamine (1.8%) and aspartic acid (0.6%) were found to be highly abundant. Interestingly, among the fish diet groups, grouper fed with oleic acid diet produced more metabolites with a higher percent area compared to the control diets. The results obtained from this study elucidate the use of oleic acid as an immunostimulant in fish feed formulation affects more various immune-related metabolites than other formulated feed diets for vibriosis infected grouper.

Abstract
Aquaculture feed containing olive oil (OO) instead of fish oil (FO) can cause oxidative stress and impair gonad development in fish. We determined the effect of dietary OO-induced oxidative stress on ovarian development, and explored whether vitamin E (VE) could mitigate negative effects. Female Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed for 10 weeks with four diets: 5% OO + 70 mg/kg VE, 5% OO + 200 mg/kg VE, 5% FO + 70 mg/kg VE, or 5% FO + 200 mg/kg VE. Dietary OO reduced the specific growth rate and gonadosomatic index, inhibited superoxide dismutase and catalase, delayed ovarian development, decreased serum sex hormone levels, and reduced ovarian triglyceride and n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid contents. The transcript levels of genes encoding sex hormone receptors (erα, fshr, lhr) and components of the lipid metabolism pathway (pparα, pparγ, hsl, accα, elovl6), the nrf2 signaling pathway (nrf2, keap1), and the nf-κb signaling pathway (nf-κb, tnfα, infγ, il1β) differed between the 70VE/OO and 70VE/FO groups. Supplementation with 200 mg/kg VE mitigated the adverse effects of OO by improving antioxidant capacity and alleviating inflammation and abnormal lipid metabolism. This may be because VE is an antioxidant and it can regulate the nrf2-nf-κb signaling pathway.

Abstract
Dietary fish oil (FO) replacement has led to an inflammatory response in fish species. This study aimed to identify immune-related proteins in the liver tissue of fish fed a FO-based or soybean oil (SO)-based diet. By conducting proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses, a total of 1601 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and 460 differentially abundant phosphorylated proteins (DAPs) were identified, respectively. Enrichment analysis revealed immune-related proteins involved in bacterial infection, pathogen identification, cytokine production, and cell chemotaxis. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway exhibited significant alterations in both protein and phosphorylation levels, with several hub DEPs and DAPs associated with MAPK pathway and leukocyte transendothelial migration being notable. In vitro experiments indicated that linolenic acid (LNA), derived from SO, inhibited the expression of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), but increased the expression of signaling proteins linked to nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and MAPK pathways. Transwell assays indicated that treatment of liver cells with LNA promoted macrophage migration. Collectively, the results showed that the SO-based diet upregulated the expression of NF-κB signaling-related proteins and activated the MAPK pathway, promoting immune cell migration. These findings provide novel insights for developing effective solutions to alleviate health problems caused by dietary high levels of SO inclusion.

AQUACULTURE NUTRITION 2023; 2023:2556799.

Abstract
Our recent study demonstrated that diet with blend oil (named BO1) as lipid, which is designed on the base of essential fatty acid requirement of Trachinotus ovatus, achieved good performance. Here, to confirm its effect and investigate the mechanism, three isonitrogenous (45%) and isolipidic (13%) diets (D1-D3) only differing in dietary lipids, which were, respectively, fish oil (FO), BO1, and blend oil 2 (BO2) consisting of FO and soybean oil at 2 : 3, were formulated and used to feed the T. ovatus juveniles (average initial weight: 7.65 g) for 9 weeks. The results showed that the weight gain rate of fish fed D2 was higher than that of fish fed D3 (P < 0.05) and had no significant difference from that of fish fed D1 (P > 0.05). Correspondingly, compared with the D3 group, fish of the D2 group exhibited better oxidative stress parameters such as lower serum malondialdehyde content and inflammatory indexes in the liver such as the lower expression level of genes encoding four interleukin proteins and tumor necrosis factor α, as well as higher hepatic immune-related metabolites such as valine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, tyramine, l-targinine, p-synephrine, and butyric acid (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the intestinal probiotic (Bacillus) proportion was significantly higher, while the pathogenic bacteria (Mycoplasma) proportion was significantly lower in the D2 group than that in the D3 group (P < 0.05). The main differential fatty acids of diet D2 were close to those of D1, while the levels of linoleic acid and n-6 PUFA, as well as the ratio of DHA/EPA of D3, were higher than those of D1 and D2. These results indicated that the better performance of D2 such as enhancing growth, reducing oxidative stress, and improving immune responses and intestinal microbial communities in T. ovatus may be mainly due to the good fatty acid composition of BO1, which indicated the importance of fatty acid precision nutrition.

Abstract
The unreasonably anthropogenic activities make lithium a widespread pollutant in aquatic environment, and this metallic element can enter the food chain to influence humans. Therefore, the study was designed to explore the influence of dietary lithium supplementation on body weight, lipid deposition, antioxidant capacity and inflammation response of largemouth bass. Multivariate statistical analysis confirmed the toxicological impacts of excessive lithium on largemouth bass. Specifically, excessive dietary lithium (≥87.08 mg/kg) significantly elevated weight gain and feed intake of largemouth bass. Meanwhile, overload lithium inclusion aggravated the accumulation of hepatic lipid and serum lithium. Gene expression results showed that lithium inclusion, especially overload lithium, promoted the transcription of lipogenesis related genes, PPARγ, ACC and FAS, inhibited the expression of fatty acid oxidation related genes, PPARα and ACO, and lipolysis related genes, HSL and MGL. Meanwhile, high lithium inclusion caused the oxidative stress, which was partly through the inhibition of Nrf2/Keap1 pathway. Moreover, dietary lithium inclusion significantly depressed the activity of hepatic lysozyme, and promoted the transcription of proinflammation factors, TNF-α, 5-LOX, IL-1β and IL-8, which was suggested to be regulated by the p38 MAPK pathway. Our findings suggested that overload lithium resulted in increased body weight, hepatic lipid deposition, oxidative stress and inflammation response. The results obtained here provided novel insights on the toxicological impacts of excessive lithium on aquatic animals.

Abstract
Aquaculture has been expanding in Malaysia due to the increased demand for fish products. In addition, aquaculture faces challenges in maintaining feed suitability in support of the global growth of fish production. Therefore, improvements in diet formulation are necessary to achieve the optimal requirements and attain a desirable growth efficiency and health performance in fish. Seven weeks of study were conducted to compare the equal amounts of different fatty acids (2%) (oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, and behenic acid) on the survival, the growth, and the immune response of hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × Epinephelus lanceolatus) against V. vulnificus. After six weeks of the feeding trial, fish were challenged with V. vulnificus for 30 min before continuing on the same feeding regime for the next seven days (post-bacterial challenge). Fish supplemented with dietary oleic acid showed significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced immune responses, i.e., lysozyme, respiratory burst, and phagocytic activities compared to the control diet group for both pre-and post-bacterial challenges. Following the Vibrio challenge, no significant effects of supplemented fatty acid diets on survival rate were observed, although dietary oleic acid demonstrated the highest 63.3% survival rate compared to only 43.3% of the control diet group. In addition, there were no significant effects (p > 0.05) on specific growth rate (SGR), white blood cell (WBC), and red blood cell (RBC) counts among all experimental diets. The results from this study suggest that among the tested dietary fatty acids, the oleic acid diet showed promising results in the form of elevated immune responses and increased disease resistance of the hybrid grouper fingerlings challenged with V. vulnificus.

Abstract
The nutritional status experienced in the early development of life plays a vital role in the long-term metabolic state of the individual, which is known as nutritional programming. The present study investigated the long-term effects of vegetable oil (VO) nutritional programming during the early life of large yellow croaker. First, larvae were fed either a fish oil (FO) diet or a VO diet for 30 d. Subsequently, under the same conditions, all fish were fed a commercial diet for 90 d and thereafter challenged with an FO or VO diet for 30 d. The results showed that growth performance was significantly lower in larvae fed the VO diet than in those in fed the FO diet in the stimulus phase. Notably, VO nutritional history fish showed lower levels of liver lipids liver total triglycerides and serum nonesterified free fatty acids than the FO nutritional history fish when juveniles were challenged with the VO diet, which was consistent with the expression of lipogenesis-related genes and proteins. Moreover, the VO nutritional history fish showed lower liver damage and higher antioxidant capacity than FO nutritional history fish when challenged with the VO diet. In summary, this study showed that a short VO stimulus during the early life stage of large yellow croaker, had a long-term effect on lipid metabolism and the antioxidant system. Specifically, VO nutritional programming had a positive effect on alleviating abnormal lipid deposition on the liver, liver damage, and the reduction of hepatic antioxidant capacity caused by a VO diet.

Abstract
LPCAT3, a subtype of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases, is a key enzyme in phosphatidylcholine remodeling pathway and plays a significant role in mediating inflammatory response in mammals. However, its inflammatory function in fish has yet to be discovered. Herein, this study aimed to investigate its role in inflammation in Larimichthys crocea. We analyzed the coding sequence of Larimichthys crocea LPCAT3 (Lc-LPCAT3) and explored the effect of Lc-LPCAT3 on palmitate (PA)-induced inflammation. We found that in macrophage cell line of Larimichthys crocea, the mRNA expression of Lc-lpcat3 was upregulated by PA with the elevated pro-inflammatory genes expression, including il1β, il6, il8, tnfα and ifnγ. Next, the role of Lc-LPCAT3 in inflammation induced by PA was further investigated. Results showed that knockdown of Lc-LPCAT3 mitigated PA-induced pro-inflammatory genes mRNA expression, including il1β, il8, tnfα and ifnγ, in which JNK signaling pathway was involved. In contrast, overexpression of Lc-LPCAT3 induced pro-inflammatory genes expression including il1β, tnfα and ifnγ. Furthermore, several transcription factors with negative regulation of Lc-LPCAT3 promoter activity were discovered including LXRα, RXRα, PPARα, PPARγ, CEBPα, CEBPβ, CEBPδ, SREBP1 and SREBP2, and SREBP1 had the strongest regulatory effect. In conclusion, we first discovered that fish LPCAT3 participated in PA-induced inflammation, and targeting SREBP1 might be an effective coping strategy.

[PMID: 35811843 PMCID: PMC9263516 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2022.104670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
LDLR, as the uptake receptor of low-density lipoprotein, plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. However, the detailed mechanism by which LDLR affects hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation has rarely been reported. Here, we found that knockdown of LDLR effectively mitigated PA-induced TG accumulation. Further analysis revealed that the expression of LDLR was controlled by SREBP2 directly and indirectly. On one hand, transcription factor SREBP2 activated the transcription of LDLR directly. On the other hand, SREBP2 indirectly regulated LDLR by increasing the transcription of lncRNA LDLR-AS in fish. Mechanism analysis found that LDLR-AS functioned as an RNA scaffold to recruit heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein R (hnRNPR) to the 5′ UTR region of LDLR mRNA, which stabilized LDLR mRNA at the post-transcription level. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that increased LDLR transcription and mRNA stability is regulated by SREBP2 directly or indirectly, and promotes hepatic TG accumulation by endocytosing LDL in fish. PA-mediated LDLR increases triglyceride accumulation via the uptake of LDL in fish SREBP2 activated by TNFα promotes LDLR transcription in fish LncRNA LDLR-AS increases LDLR mRNA stability by recruiting hnRNPR in fish

Regulation of Δ6Fads2 Gene Involved in LC-PUFA Biosynthesis Subjected to Fatty Acid in Large Yellow Croaker ( Larimichthys crocea) and Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss). Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12050659. [PMID: 35625587 PMCID: PMC9139026 DOI: 10.3390/biom12050659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Δ6 fatty acyl desaturase (Δ6Fads2) is regarded as the first rate-limiting desaturase that catalyzes the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) from 18-carbon fatty acid in vertebrates, but the underlying regulatory mechanism of fads2 has not been comprehensively understood. This study aimed to investigate the regulation role of fads2 subjected to fatty acid in large yellow croaker and rainbow trout. In vivo, large yellow croaker and rainbow trout were fed a fish oil (FO) diet, a soybean oil (SO) diet or a linseed oil (LO) diet for 10 weeks. The results show that LO and SO can significantly increase fads2 expression (p < 0.05). In vitro experiments were conducted in HEK293T cells or primary hepatocytes to determine the transcriptional regulation of fads2. The results show that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα) can up-regulate fads2 expression. GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) can up-regulate fads2 expression in rainbow trout but showed opposite effect in large yellow croaker. Furthermore, C/EBPα protein levels were significantly increased by LO and SO (p < 0.05), gata3 expression was increased in rainbow trout by LO but decreased in large yellow croaker by LO and SO. In conclusion, we revealed that FO replaced by LO and SO increased fads2 expression through a C/EBPα and GATA3 dependent mechanism in large yellow croaker and rainbow trout. This study might provide critical insights into the regulatory mechanisms of fads2 expression and LC-PUFA biosynthesis.

Effects of Dietary Phospholipids on Growth Performance, Digestive Enzymes Activity and Intestinal Health of Largemouth Bass ( Micropterus salmoides) Larvae. Front Immunol 2022; 12:827946.

Abstract
While the beneficial roles of dietary phospholipids on health status and overall performances of fish larvae have been well demonstrated, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this gap, the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary phospholipids on growth performance, intestinal development, immune response and microbiota of larval largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic micro-diets were formulated to contain graded inclusion levels of phospholipids (1.69, 3.11, 5.23, 7.43 and 9.29%). Results showed that the supplementation of dietary phospholipids linearly improved the growth performance of largemouth bass larvae. The inclusion of dietary phospholipids increased the activity of digestive enzymes, such as lipase, trypsin and alkaline phosphatase, and promoted the expression of tight junction proteins including ZO-1, claudin-4 and claudin-5. Additionally, dietary phospholipids inclusion alleviated the accumulation of intestinal triacylglycerols, and further elevated the activity of lysozyme. Dietary phospholipids inhibited the transcription of some pro-inflammatory cytokines, including il-1β, and tnf-α, but promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines tgf-β, with these modifications being suggested to be mediated by the p38MAPK/Nf-κB pathway. The analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA V3-4 region indicated that the intestinal microbiota profile was significantly altered at the genus level with dietary phospholipids inclusion, including a decreased richness of pathogenic bacteria genera Klebsiella in larval intestine. In summary, it was showed that largemouth bass larvae have a specific requirement for dietary phospholipids, and this study provided novel insights on how dietary phospholipids supplementation contributes to improving the growth performance, digestive tract development and intestinal health.

Abstract
Aim Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a natural polyphenolic compound found in human dietary products. Previous studies have confirmed that CGA has many biological activities, such as regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and improving insulin resistance. However, its underlying mechanisms of action remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of action of CGA in reducing weight gain and hyperlipidemia in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods and Results C57BL/6 mice were fed with normal chow or HFD; half of the mice in each group received CGA treatment by oral gavage for 16 weeks. CGA treatment was found to significantly inhibit HFD-induced weight gain and hyperlipidemia and increased energy expenditure by promoting the expression of genes involved in thermogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis. Furthermore, CGA was shown to inhibit the enterohepatic farnesoid X receptor (FXR) fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) pathway and changes serum bile acid (BA) pool, thereby contributing to the increased expression of cholesterol 7 α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). Conclusions CGA increases the metabolic elimination of cholesterol by inhibiting the enterohepatic FXR/FGF15 pathway.

A Multidisciplinary Approach Evaluating Soybean Meal-Induced Enteritis in Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. FISHES 2022.

Abstract
This study evaluated a diverse range of markers of feeding stress to obtain a more precise assessment of the welfare of rainbow trout in relation to inadequate husbandry conditions. A feeding stress model based on dietary soybean meal was employed to identify suitable minimally invasive “classical” stress markers, together with molecular signatures. In a 56-day feeding experiment, rainbow trout were fed diets containing different levels of soybean meal. The impact of these different soybean meal diets on rainbow trout was assessed by water quality analyses, clinical health observations, classic growth and performance parameters, gut histopathology, blood-parameter measurements and multigene-expression profiling in RNA from whole blood. Soybean meal-induced enteritis was manifested phenotypically by an inflammatory reaction in the posterior section of the intestine and by diarrhoea in some trout. These inflammatory changes were associated with decreased supranuclear vacuolation. The haematocrit values and the levels of plasma cortisol and circulating lymphocytes in the blood were increased in trout that had consumed high amounts of SBM. Notably, the increased haematocrit depended significantly on the bodyweight of the individual trout. The transcript levels of certain genes (e.g., MAP3K1, LYG, NOD1, STAT1 and HSP90AB) emerged as potentially useful indicators in the blood of rainbow trout providing valuable information about inadequate nutrition. The expression-profiling findings provide a basis for improved, minimally invasive monitoring of feeding regimens in trout farming and may stimulate the development of practical detection devices for innovative aquaculture operations.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Aegle marmelos fruit (AMF) extract on the growth performance, biochemical parameters, immune response, antioxidative capacity, and digestive enzyme activity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish were fed a diet supplemented with AMF at concentrations of 0 (AMF0; control), 5 (AMF5), 10 (AMF10), 15 (AMF15), or 20 (AMF20) g/kg for 8 weeks. The results show that the final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, average daily gain, and feed conversion ratio were significantly higher in fish fed AMF15 and AMF20 compared to those fed the control diet (P < 0.05). Moreover, significant increases in antioxidant enzyme activities and non-specific immune responses were observed in groups fed AMF15 and AMF20. Interestingly, the level of cholesterol decreased with increasing AMF concentrations in the diet. As dietary AMF levels increased, digestive enzyme activities significantly improved. After the feeding trial, fish were injected intraperitoneally with Streptococcus agalactiae, and the 14-day cumulative mortality was calculated. A high survival rate after challenge with S. agalactiae was observed in all groups that received AMF-supplemented feed. Therefore, the present study suggests that supplementing the diet of Nile tilapia with AMF at a concentration of 20 g/kg could encourage their growth, improve their immunity and antioxidant status, and provide strong protection against S. agalactiae.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common disease in pregnant women, imposing risks on both mother and fetus. Dysregulated nesfatin-1 has been observed in women with GDM, but the specific role of nesfatin-1 underlying the pathological process of GDM is unclear. The main objective of this study is to investigate the role and the molecular mechanism of nesfatin-1 in GDM. HTR-8/SVneo cells were treated with high glucose (HG)/high lipid (HL) to mimic the injured trophoblast of GDM in vitro. Cell viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis were measured using CCK-8, LDH and TUNEL assays, respectively. The levels of inflammatory cytokines and antioxidant factors were detected using their commercial kits. ATP level and cytochrome c were determined with corresponding detecting kits. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression of corresponding genes. The results showed that nesfatin-1 was downregulated upon HG/HL stimulation. Nesfatin-1 treatment greatly alleviated HG/HL-induced cell viability loss, cytotoxicity, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in HTR-8/SVneo cells. In addition, nesfatin-1 promoted ATP generation, reduced the leakage of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytoplasm, and upregulated mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) and nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, nesfatin-1 inhibited p38 MAPK signaling. p79350, an agonist of p38 MAPK signaling, remarkably hindered the protective role of nesfatin-1 in HG/HL-induced HTR-8/SVneo cells. In conclusion, nesfatin-1 exerted a protective effect on GDM model in vitro, by regulating p38 MAPK signaling pathway, providing novel insights of treating GDM.

Abstract
Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is a potent regulator of TAG metabolism, but knowledge of the mechanisms underlying ANGPTL4 transcription in response to fatty acids is still limited in teleost. In the current study, we explored the molecular characterisation of ANGPTL4 and regulatory mechanisms of ANGPTL4 in response to fatty acids in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). Here, croaker angptl4 contained a 1416 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 471 amino acids with highly conserved 12-amino acid consensus motif. Angptl4 was widely expressed in croaker, with the highest expression in the liver. In vitro, oleic and palmitic acids (OA and PA) treatments strongly increased angptl4 mRNA expression in croaker hepatocytes. Moreover, angptl4 expression was positively regulated by PPAR family (PPAR-α, β and γ), and expression of PPARγ was also significantly increased in response to OA and PA. Moreover, inhibition of PPARγ abrogated OA- or PA-induced angptl4 mRNA expression. Beyond that, PA might increase angptl4 expression partly via the insulin signalling. Overall, the expression of ANGPTL4 is strongly upregulated by OA and PA via PPARγ in the liver of croaker, which contributes to improve the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of ANGPTL4 in fish.

Abstract
As a lipid mediator with important immune function, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been widely studied in mammals, whereas its synthetic pathway and immune function in fish have yet to be fully studied. To investigate the regulation of PGE2 synthetic pathway and inflammatory genes expression by dietary different oils and the underlying relationship, a 10-week feeding experiment and an immune challenge were carried out in marine fish Larimichthys crocea. Replacement of dietary fish oil (FO) with four vegetable oils (VO), including soybean oil, linseed oil, palm oil, and olive oil, all reduced PGE2 levels, and the decrease of arachidonic acid (ARA, substrate for PGE2) could account for this decline. Meanwhile, the expression of PGE2 synthesis related genes was basically upregulated, which seemed to be a feedback regulation, but it cannot compensate the deficiency of ARA. In addition, mRNA expression of inflammatory genes, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α and interferon (IFN)γ was all upregulated in four VO groups compared with FO group, which was the opposite of PGE2 levels. To verify the inflammatory regulation of PGE2, an immune challenge was conducted, and PGE2 alleviated LPS-induced expression of inflammatory genes, including IL-6, TNFα and IFNγ, and the similar downregulation of toll-like receptor (TLR) genes expression revealed that TLR signaling pathway participated in the anti-inflammatory regulation of PGE2. In conclusion, replacement of dietary FO with four VO (lack of ARA) reduced the levels of PGE2 that could alleviate LPS-induced inflammatory genes expression via TLR signaling pathway, which could be one of the reasons that VO induced inflammation in marine fish.

Exchanging dietary fat source with extra virgin olive oil does not prevent progression of diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0237946. [PMID: 32881925 PMCID: PMC7470337 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0237946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Dietary fat is discussed to be critical in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we assess the effect of exchanging dietary fat source from butterfat to extra virgin olive oil on the progression of an already existing diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice. Female C57BL/6J mice were fed a liquid butterfat-, fructose- and cholesterol-rich diet (BFC, 25E% from butterfat) or control diet (C, 12%E from soybean oil) for 13 weeks. In week 9, fat sources of some BFC- and C-fed mice were switched either to 25E% or 12E% olive oil (OFC and CO). Glucose and insulin tolerance tests were performed, and markers of liver damage and glucose metabolism were assessed. After 6 weeks of feeding, BFC-fed mice had developed marked signs of insulin resistance, which progressed to week 12 being not affected by the exchange of fat sources. Liver damage was similar between BFC- and OFC-fed mice. Markers of lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation in liver and of insulin signaling in liver and muscle were also similarly altered in BFC- and OFC-fed mice. Taken together, our data suggest that exchanging butterfat with extra virgin olive oil has no effect on the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and glucose tolerance in mice.

J Nutr 2020; 150:2469-2477. [PMID: 32614453 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxaa185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Revised: 05/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND High linoleic acid (LA) intake leads to inflammation that adversely influences health in fish. However, whether the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) could be an effective target for regulating LA-induced inflammation remains unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of FXR in the regulation of LA-induced inflammation in large yellow croakers. METHODS Large yellow croakers (initial weight of 10.03 ± 0.02 g) were allocated to 4 groups and fed a fish oil diet (6% FO), a soybean oil diet (6% SO), or the SO diet supplemented with 300 or 900 mg chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA)/kg for 10 wk. The cultured kidney cell line PCK and primary hepatocytes from large yellow croakers were stimulated by LA (50 μM) after pretreatment with an FXR ligand (GW4064 or CDCA) or transfection with fxr-small interfering RNA (siFXR). mRNA expression of proinflammatory genes in the head kidney and liver tissues, PCK cells, and primary hepatocytes was determined by qPCR. The luciferase reporter assay, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and immunoprecipitation assay were conducted in HEK 293T cells to determine the transcriptional activity of P65 and protein interactions between P65 and FXR or the small heterodimer partner (SHP). RESULTS Proinflammatory genes were 93-1180% higher in the SO group compared with the FO group. CDCA supplementation decreased mRNA expression of proinflammatory genes by 17-87% while increasing fxr and shp expression by 120-460%. In PCK cells and primary hepatocytes, ligand-mediated activation of FXR decreased the LA-induced expression of proinflammatory genes by 18-67%, whereas siRNA-mediated knockdown of FXR increased the LA-induced expression of proinflammatory genes by 64-96%. FXR bound to the promoter of shp and regulated its mRNA expression. Both FXR and SHP could bind to P65 to suppress the transcriptional activity of P65. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that FXR has anti-inflammatory properties in large yellow croakers by directly and indirectly suppressing NFκB activity.

Abstract
β-defensins (BD) are the largest family of vertebrate defensins with potent antimicrobial, chemotactic and immune-regulatory activities. Four BD genes (BD1-4) have been cloned previously in rainbow trout but none have been reported in other salmonids. In this study seven BD genes (BD1a-b, 2-4, 5a-b) are characterised in Atlantic salmon and additional BD genes (BD1b and BD5) in rainbow trout. Bioinformatic analysis revealed up to seven BD genes in the genomes of other salmonids that belong to five subfamilies (BD1-5) due to whole genome duplications. BD1-2 and BD4-5 are also present in basal teleosts but only BD1 and/or BD5 are present in advanced teleosts due to loss of one chromosomal locus. BD3 is salmonid specific. Fish BD have a unique three-coding exon structure. Fish BD are highly divergent between subfamilies but conserved within each subfamily. Atlantic salmon BD genes are differentially expressed in tissues, often with low level expression in systemic immune organs (head kidney and spleen) yet with at least one BD gene highly expressed in mucosal tissues, heart, blood and liver. This suggests an important role of these BD genes in innate immunity in mucosa, liver and blood in Atlantic salmon.
