Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that in Arabian horse muscle, long-term exercise-induced expression of genes related to fatty acid degradation and the downregulation of genes belonging to the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and insulin signalling pathways. Long-lasting physical exertion may trigger the metabolism to switch the main energy source from carbohydrates to lipids due to higher caloric content. OBJECTIVES To describe the metabolism adaptation at the whole transcriptome of blood to endurance effort in Arabian horses. STUDY DESIGN In vivo experiment. METHODS Venous blood samples from 10 Arabian horses were taken before and after a 120 km long endurance ride to isolate the RNA and perform the high-throughput NGS transcriptome sequencing. RESULTS The results, including KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes) and GO (Gene Ontology) analyses, allowed us to describe the most significantly upregulated-ARV1, DGAT2, LIPE, APOA2, MOGAT1, MOGAT2, GYS1, GYS2 and downregulated-ACACA, ACACB, FADS1, FADS2 genes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Also, the increased expression of RAF1, KRAS and NRAS genes involved in the Insulin pathway and PI3K-Akt was shown. MAIN LIMITATIONS Limited sample size, Arabians used for endurance racing were not compared to Arabians from other equestrian disciplines. CONCLUSIONS This general insight into the processes described supports the thesis of the lipid-carbohydrates metabolism switch in endurance Arabian horses and provides the basis for further research.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
ACAT-related enzyme 2 required for viability 1 (ARV1) encodes a transmembrane lipid transporter of the endoplasmic reticulum, which is presented in all eukaryotes and in plants. Deficiency of ARV1 is clinically presented as autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 38 (DEE38) in humans and in mice. So far, three different homozygous and two compound heterozygous ARV1 mutations in humans have been reported in 15 children.
Case presentation
In this case report we present a novel homozygous in-frame ARV1-deletion (c.554_556delTAT, p.L185del) in a 21-year old Caucasian man with developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, walking and speech impairments, as well as with a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which has not yet been firmly related to the ARV1-associated phenotype. Interestingly, this novel variant lies in the proximity of the p.G189R mutation, which was previously described in two brothers with DEE38 and dilated cardiomyopathy.
Conclusion
The finding of dilated cardiomyopathy in the presented as well as in three previously reported patients from two different families indicates that dilated cardiomyopathy is a part of the ARV1-induced DEE38 phenotype. However, more data are needed to make this conclusion definitive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified SNPs in the 8q24 locus near TRIB1 that are significantly associated with plasma lipids and other markers of cardiometabolic health, and prior studies have revealed the roles of hepatic and myeloid Trib1 in plasma lipid regulation and atherosclerosis. The same 8q24 SNPs are additionally associated with plasma adiponectin levels in humans, implicating TRIB1 in adipocyte biology. Here, we hypothesize that TRIB1 in adipose tissue regulates plasma adiponectin, lipids, and metabolic health. METHODS We investigate the metabolic phenotype of adipocyte-specific Trib1 knockout mice (Trib1_ASKO) fed on chow and high-fat diet (HFD). Through secretomics of adipose tissue explants and RNA-seq of adipocytes and livers from these mice, we further investigate the mechanism of TRIB1 in adipose tissue. RESULTS Trib1_ASKO mice have an improved metabolic phenotype with increased plasma adiponectin levels, improved glucose tolerance, and decreased plasma lipids. Trib1_ASKO adipocytes have increased adiponectin production and secretion independent of the known TRIB1 function of regulating proteasomal degradation. RNA-seq analysis of adipocytes and livers from Trib1_ASKO mice indicates that alterations in adipocyte function underlie the observed plasma lipid changes. Adipose tissue explant secretomics further reveals that Trib1_ASKO adipose tissue has decreased ANGPTL4 production, and we demonstrate an accompanying increase in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity that likely underlies the triglyceride phenotype. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that adipocyte Trib1 regulates multiple aspects of metabolic health, confirming previously observed genetic associations in humans and shedding light on the further mechanisms by which TRIB1 regulates plasma lipids and metabolic health.

Abstract
Objective To report longitudinal clinical, EEG, and MRI findings in 2 sisters carrying compound heterozygous ARV1 mutations and exhibiting a peculiar form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Neuropathologic features are also described in one of the sisters. Methods Clinical course description, video-EEG polygraphic recordings, brain MRI, skin and muscle biopsies, whole-exome sequencing (WES), and brain neuropathology. Results Since their first months of life, both girls exhibited severe axial hypotonia, visual inattention, dyskinetic movements, severe developmental delay, and slow background EEG activity. Intractable nonmotor seizures started in both at the eighth month of life, exhibiting the electroclinical characteristics of epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS). In the second year of life, continuous epileptiform EEG activity of extremely high amplitude appeared in association with myoclonic status, leading to severely impaired alertness and responsiveness. Repeated brain MRI revealed progressive atrophic changes and severe hypomyelination. WES identified a compound heterozygous in the ARV1 gene [(p.Ser122Glnfs*7) and (p.Trp163*)] in one patient and was subsequently confirmed in the other. Both sisters died prematurely during respiratory infections. Postmortem neuropathologic examination of the brain, performed in one, revealed atrophic brain changes, mainly involving the cerebellum. Conclusions This report confirms that biallelic ARV1 mutations cause a severe form of DEE and adds epilepsy with migrating focal seizures and myoclonic status to the spectrum of epilepsy phenotypes. Considering the potential role of human ARV1 in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, this severe syndrome can be assigned to the group of inherited GPI deficiency disorders, with which it shares remarkably similar clinical and neuroimaging features. ARV1 should be considered in the genetic screening of individuals with EIMFS.

RNAi-mediated silencing of ARV1 in Setaria digitata impairs in-vitro microfilariae release, embryogenesis and adult parasite viability. Vet Parasitol 2020; 284:109189. [PMID: 32739751 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2020.109189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Setaria digitata is a nematode that resides in the peritoneal cavity of ruminants causing cerebrospinal nematodiasis disease affecting livestock and inflicting significant economic forfeitures in Asia. Further, this nematode can infect humans, causing abscesses, allergic reactions, enlarged lymph nodes, eye lesions and inflammation of the lungs. The 'ARE2 required for viability1' (ARV1) encodes for putative lipid transporter localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex membrane in humans and yeast. In the present study, the functional role of S. digitata ARV1 (SD-ARV1) was investigated using RNA interference (RNAi) reverse genetic tool. The targeted silencing SD-ARV1 transcripts by siRNA mediated RNAi resulted in a dramatic reduction of SD-ARV1 gene and protein expressions in S. digitata, which in turn modulated the parasitic motility, its production of eggs and microfilaria viability. Further, the same silencing caused severe phenotypic deformities such as distortion of eggs and embryonic development arrest in the intrauterine stages of adult female S. digitata. These results suggest that SD-ARV1 plays a pivotal role in worm embryogenesis, adult parasite motility and microfilariae viability. Finally, the ubiquitous presence of ARV1 in human filarial nematodes, its crucial functional roles in nematode biology and its remarkable diversity in primary protein structure compared to homologues in their hosts warrants further investigations to ascertain its candidacy in anthelmintic drug development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the ARV1 Homolog, Fatty Acid Homeostasis Modulator (ARV1), have recently been described in association with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 38. Affected individuals presented with epilepsy, ataxia, profound intellectual disability, visual impairment, and central hypotonia. In S. cerevisiae, Arv1 is thought to be involved in sphingolipid metabolism and glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor synthesis. The function of ARV1 in human cells, however, has not been elucidated. METHODS Mutations were discovered through whole exome sequencing and alternate splicing was validated on the cDNA level. Expression of the variants was determined by qPCR and Western blot. Expression of GPI-anchored proteins on neutrophils and fibroblasts was analyzed by FACS and immunofluorescence microscopy, respectively. RESULTS Here we describe seven patients from two unrelated families with biallelic splice mutations in ARV1. The patients presented with early onset epilepsy, global developmental delays, profound hypotonia, delayed speech development, cortical visual impairment, and severe generalized cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. The splice variants resulted in decreased ARV1 expression and significant decreases in GPI-anchored protein on the membranes of neutrophils and fibroblasts, indicating that the loss of ARV1 results in impaired GPI-anchor synthesis. CONCLUSION Loss of GPI-anchored proteins on our patients' cells confirms that the yeast Arv1 function of GPI-anchor synthesis is conserved in humans. Overlap between the phenotypes in our patients and those reported for other GPI-anchor disorders suggests that ARV1-deficiency is a GPI-anchor synthesis disorder.

Mice lacking ARV1 have reduced signs of metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. J Biol Chem 2018; 293:5956-5974. [PMID: 29491146 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.ra117.000800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2017] [Revised: 02/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a term used to characterize individuals having at least three of the following diseases: obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It is widespread, and the number of individuals with MetS is increasing. However, the events leading to the manifestation of MetS are not well-understood. Here, we show that loss of murine ARV1 (mARV1) results in resistance to acquiring diseases associated with MetS. Arv1-/- animals fed a high-fat diet were resistant to diet-induced obesity, had lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and retained glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Livers showed no gross morphological changes, contained lower levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and fatty acids, and showed fewer signs of NAFLD. Knockout animals had elevated levels of liver farnesol X receptor (FXR) protein and its target, small heterodimer protein (SHP). They also had decreased levels of CYP7α1, CYP8β1, and mature SREBP1 protein, evidence suggesting that liver FXR signaling was activated. Strengthening this hypothesis was the fact that peroxisome proliferator-activating receptor α (PPARα) protein was elevated, along with its target, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Arv1-/- animals excreted more fecal cholesterol, free fatty acids, and bile acids. Their small intestines had 1) changes in bile acid composition, 2) an increase in the level of the intestinal FXR antagonist, tauromuricholic acid, and 3) showed signs of attenuated FXR signaling. Overall, we believe that ARV1 function is deleterious when consuming a high-fat diet. We further hypothesize that ARV1 is critical for initiating events required for the progression of diseases associated with MetS and NAFLD.

Neuronal deficiency of ARV1 causes an autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy. Hum Mol Genet 2016; 25:3042-3054.

Abstract
We report an individual who presented with severe neurodevelopmental delay and an intractable infantile-onset seizure disorder. Exome sequencing identified a homozygous single nucleotide change that abolishes a splice donor site in the ARV1 gene (c.294 + 1G > A homozygous). This variant completely prevented splicing in minigene assays, and resulted in exon skipping and an in-frame deletion of 40 amino acids in primary human fibroblasts (NP_073623.1: p.(Lys59_Asn98del). The p.(Lys59_Asn98del) and previously reported p.(Gly189Arg) ARV1 variants were evaluated for protein expression and function. The p.(Gly189Arg) variant partially rescued the temperature-dependent growth defect in arv1Δ yeast, while p.(Lys59-Asn98del) completely failed to rescue at restrictive temperature. In contrast to wild type human ARV1, neither variant expressed detectable levels of protein in mammalian cells. Mice with a neuronal deletion of Arv1 recapitulated the human phenotype, exhibiting seizures and a severe survival defect in adulthood. Our data support ARV1 deficiency as a cause of autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy.
