Abstract
The pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is now a more common aquaculture species in saline-alkali waters, while alkalinity stress is considered to be one of the stressors for shrimp. Thus, an understanding of the molecular response to alkalinity stress is critical for advancing the sustainability of culture in pacific white shrimp. In this study, we aimed to explore the response mechanism to acute high-alkaline stress by RNA-seq at low-alkaline (50 mg/L) and high-alkaline (350 mg/L). We identified 215 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) and 35 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs), of which 180 DEGs and 28 DEMs were up-regulated, 35 DEGs and 7 DEMs were down-regulated, respectively. The DEGs were enriched in several pathways, including carbohydrate digestion and absorption, pancreatic secretion, starch and sucrose metabolism, antigen processing and presentation and glutathione metabolism. The DEMs involved in lysosome and ion transport related pathways were significantly up-regulated. We also achieved 42 DEGs, which were targeted by DEMs. miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed by integrated analysis of miRNA-mRNA data. We detected several genes and miRNAs which were identified as candidate regulators of alkalinity stress, and expression patterns of key genes related to alkalinity stress in pacific white shrimp. Among these genes, the expression levels of most key genes enriched in ion regulation, digestion and immunity were increased, and the expression levels of genes enriched in metabolism were down-regulated. This research indicated that the homeostatic regulation and digestion changed significantly under acute alkaline stress, and the variations from metabolic and immunity can cope with the osmotic shock of alkalinity stress in pacific white shrimp. This study provides key clues for exploring the molecular mechanism of pacific white shrimp under acute alkalinity stress, and also gives scientific basis for the optimisation of saline-alkaline aquaculture technology.

Abstract
The carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) family includes CPT 1 and CPT 2 that transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial compartment for β-oxidation. In this study, three isoforms (CPT 1α, CPT 1β and CPT 2) of the CPT family were cloned from Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) and their complete coding sequences (CDS) were obtained. Sequence analysis revealed deduced amino acid sequences of 915, 775 and 683 amino acids, respectively. Gene expression analysis revealed a broad tissue distribution for all three isoforms, with high CPT 1α and CPT 2 mRNA levels in the hepatopancreas of males and females. In males, CPT 1β was highly expressed in gill, heart, brain ganglia and muscle, while in females, CPT 1β-mRNA levels were relatively high in muscle, hepatopancreas and ovary tissue. The effects of dietary fish oil replacement on the expression of the three CPT isoforms in the hepatopancreas during gonadal development were investigated using five experimental diets formulated with replacement of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% fish oil by 1:1 rapeseed oil: soybean oil. The results showed that Diets 2# and 5# yielded higher CPT 1α and CPT 2 mRNA expression in males (P < 0.05), while in females, expression of all three CPT isoforms increased then declined in the hepatopancreas with increasing dietary fish oil replacement. The observed changes in CPT gene expression varied in different isoforms and gender, suggesting the three CPT genes might play different roles in fatty acid β-oxidation in E. sinensis.

Abstract
The enzyme activity and the expression (protein and mRNA concentrations) of genes encoding for hepatic carnitine palmitoyl-transferases (CPT) I and II were studied during neonatal development, in response to nutritional state at weaning and during the fed-starved transition in adult rats. The activity, the protein concentration and the level of mRNA encoding CPT I are low in foetal-rat liver and increase 5-fold during the first day of extra-uterine life. The activity and gene expression of CPT I are high during the entire suckling period, in the liver of 30-day-old rats weaned at 20 days on to a high-fat diet and in the liver of 48 h-starved adult rats. The activity and CPT I gene expression are markedly decreased in the liver of rats weaned on to a high-carbohydrate diet. By contrast, the activity, the protein concentration and the level of mRNA encoding CPT II are already high in the liver of term foetuses and remain at this level throughout the suckling period, irrespective of the nutritional state of the animals either at weaning or in the adult.

Abstract
Developments in our understanding of the complex CPT enzyme system over the past ten years have been reviewed. Liver CPT1, which is probably distinct from that in several extrahepatic tissues, is subject to up- or down-regulation of its activity and kinetic properties with changing physiological state. Evidence is now accumulating to support the notion that the catalytic and malonyl-CoA-binding entities of CPT1 are separate polypeptides.

Abstract
The effect of insulin on the properties of liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) was assessed in conscious starved rats with the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. A 24-hour clamp was necessary to fully reverse the effect of starvation on liver malonyl-CoA concentration, CPT I maximal activity, and apparent km and Ki for malonyl-CoA. Since glucagon was not decreased during the clamp, insulin is the major factor involved in the regulation of CPT I.

Abstract
The temporal changes in oleate oxidation, lipogenesis, malonyl-CoA concentration and sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT 1) to malonyl-CoA inhibition were studied in isolated rabbit hepatocytes and mitochondria as a function of time after birth of the animal or time in culture after exposure to glucagon, cyclic AMP or insulin. (1) Oleate oxidation was very low during the first 6 h after birth, whereas lipogenesis rate and malonyl-CoA concentration decreased rapidly during this period to reach levels as low as those found in 24-h-old newborns that show active oleate oxidation. (2) The changes in the activity of CPT I and the IC50 (concn. causing 50% inhibition) for malonyl-CoA paralleled those of oleate oxidation. (3) In cultured fetal hepatocytes, the addition of glucagon or cyclic AMP reproduced the changes that occur spontaneously after birth. A 12 h exposure to glucagon or cyclic AMP was sufficient to inhibit lipogenesis totally and to cause a decrease in malonyl-CoA concentration, but a 24 h exposure was required to induce oleate oxidation. (4) The induction of oleate oxidation by glucagon or cyclic AMP is triggered by the fall in the malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I. (5) In cultured hepatocytes from 24 h-old newborns, the addition of insulin inhibits no more than 30% of the high oleate oxidation, whereas it stimulates lipogenesis and increases malonyl-CoA concentration by 4-fold more than in fetal cells (no oleate oxidation). This poor effect of insulin on oleate oxidation seems to be due to the inability of the hormone to increase the sensitivity of CPT I sufficiently. Altogether, these results suggest that the malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I is the major site of regulation during the induction of fatty acid oxidation in the fetal rabbit liver.

Abstract
Regulation of the 68 kDa carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) synthesis by (chlorophenylthio) cyclic AMP (cAMP) and insulin was studied in H4IIE cells in culture. Addition of 0.1 mM- or 1.0 mM-(chlorophenylthio) cAMP induced CPT mRNA and rate of transcription 2-4-fold by 15 min, reaching a plateau at 4-6-fold by 30 min. Addition of 5-15 nM-insulin plus 1.0 mM-cAMP suppressed the increases in transcription rate and mRNA levels occurring with cAMP alone. The t1/2 for CPT mRNA was 70-80 min and was not affected by cAMP. The t1/2 for CPT protein was 70 min, and was increased to 240 min in the presence of cAMP. The rate of CPT synthesis was also increased in the presence of cAMP. The data indicate that CPT synthesis is increased by cAMP via induction of transcription and subsequent increase in the CPT mRNA. Insulin acts to depress transcription and CPT mRNA. In addition, cAMP prolongs the t1/2 of CPT.

Abstract
We have synthesized (2S,6R:2R,6S)-6-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxy-2-pentadecyl-4,4-dimethylmorp holinium bromide (hemipalmitoylcarnitinium, HPC) which is a conformationally restricted analog inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT; EC 2.3.1.21). rac-HPC inhibits catalytic activity in purified rat liver CPT. In the forward reaction, HPC competes with both (R)-carnitine (Ki(app) = 5.1 +/- 0.7 microM) and palmitoyl-CoA (Ki(app) = 21.5 +/- 4.9 microM). In the reverse reaction, inhibition by HPC is competitive with palmitoyl-(R)-carnitine (Ki(app) = 1.6 +/- 0.6 microM), but inhibition is uncompetitive with CoA. The forward reaction is also competitively inhibited by its product, palmitoyl-(R)-carnitine, Ki(app)'s 14.2 +/- 2.1 microM relative to (R)-carnitine and 8.7 +/- 2.6 microM relative to palmitoyl-CoA. rac-HPC is the most potent synthetic reversible inhibitor of purified CPT. HPC fails to inhibit carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT; EC 2.3.1.7). Palmitoylcholine also inhibits CPT in the forward reaction, competing with (R)-carnitine (Ki(app) = 18.6 +/- 4.5 microM) and with palmitoyl CoA (Ki(app) = 10.4 +/- 2.5 microM). Choline is not an effective CPT inhibitor. We have shown [R.D. Gandour et al. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 138, 735-741] that hemiacetylcarnitinium inhibits CAT but not CPT. The combined data demonstrate further differences between the carnitine recognition sites in CPT and CAT.

Abstract
1. Estimates of the functional sizes of the molecular species responsible for the overt (I) and latent (II) activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) in 48 h-starved rat liver mitochondria were obtained from radiation inactivation experiments. 2. The decay in the activity of total CPT and that of CPT II only (after inhibition of CPT I) was measured in mitochondrial samples exposed to different doses of high-energy ionizing radiation. 3. The decay curves obtained by plotting residual activity of total CPT as a logarithm function of irradiation dose suggested the contribution of more than one target towards total CPT activity. 4. By contrast, in mitochondria in which CPT I activity was approximately 95% inhibited, the activity of CPT decayed in a simple mono-exponential manner. Target-size analysis yielded an approximate Mr of 69,700 for this component (CPT II). 5. This information, as well as that on the relative non-irradiated activities of CPT I and CPT II, was used in graphical and statistical methods to obtain the parameters of the decay curve for CPT I. These analyses yielded an approximate Mr of 96,700 for CPT I.

Abstract
Fatty acid oxidation and synthesis were studied in isolated hepatocytes from adult rats adapted for 44 days on low-fat, high-carbohydrate (LF), diet or high-fat diets, composed of long-chain (LCT) or medium-chain (MCT) triacylglycerols. The rates of [1-14C]octanoate oxidation were almost similar in each group studied, whereas the oxidation of [1-14C]oleate was 50% lower in the LF group than in animals adapted to high-fat diets. The rates of oleate oxidation are inversely correlated with the rates of lipogenesis. However, it seems unlikely that [malonyl-CoA] itself represents the sole mechanism involved in the regulation of oleate oxidation during long-term LCT or MCT feeding, since: (1) despite a 3-fold higher concentration of malonyl-CoA in MCT-fed rats than in LCT-fed ones, the rates of oleate oxidation are similar; (2) when malonyl-CoA concentration is increased after stimulation of lipogenesis (by adding lactate + pyruvate) in MCT-fed rats, to a level comparable with that of the LF group, the rate of oleate oxidation remains 55% higher than that measured under similar conditions in the LF-fed rats; (3) in the LF group, the 90% decrease in malonyl-CoA concentration [by 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid] is not associated with a stimulation of oleate oxidation. By contrast, the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) to malonyl-CoA is markedly decreased in the LCT- and MCT-fed rats, by 90% and 70% respectively. The relevance of this decrease in the sensitivity of CPT I is discussed.

Abstract
The rapid and marked response of hepatic mRNA-S14 sequence to both triiodothyronine and carbohydrate intake has made this sequence an attractive model for studying the action of hormonal and dietary factors. Because it is highly expressed and regulated only in lipogenic tissues, we have suggested that it plays a role in some aspect of lipid synthesis, transport, or metabolism. To provide more precise information regarding the function of S14 we have measured lipogenesis, lipogenic enzymes, beta-oxidation, and mRNA-S14 levels in spontaneously weaning neonatal rats and in rats prematurely weaned to a laboratory diet on postnatal day 17. After birth, the levels of lipogenesis, mRNA-S14, and the lipogenic enzymes malic enzyme (ME) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) were almost undetectable but increased with the onset of spontaneous weaning. Coincident with these changes, beta-oxidation decreased. Premature weaning beginning on day 17 resulted in an earlier and even more marked increase in lipogenesis, ME, FAS, and mRNA-S14. On day 19, ME and FAS activities were 6- to 19-fold more than activities in control suckling pups, whereas mRNA-S14 levels had risen to greater than 100 times the control values. Thus directional shifts in mRNA-S14 corresponded with indices of lipogenesis and were opposite to indices reflecting beta-oxidation. The response of mRNA-S14 therefore suggests that it may be related to the synthesis of fatty acids. On the other hand, the level of lipogenesis in the fetus was high despite the fact that the levels of both mRNA-S14 and ME were low. This dissociation raises the possibility that the S14 protein participates in lipogenesis in the neonate and adult but not in the fetus.

Abstract
The changes in long-chain fatty acid oxidation during the first 24 h after birth were studied in isolated rabbit hepatocytes and liver mitochondria. The eightfold increase in this oxidation which occurs in hepatocytes between birth and 24 h was not triggered by a concomitant decrease in long-chain fatty acid esterification. Indeed, in isolated hepatocytes from 24-h-old rabbits, the 75% inhibition of the oxidation by 2-tetradecylglycidic acid, resulted in a total redirection of oleate metabolized towards triacylglycerol synthesis. Polarographic measurements of mitochondrial respiration showed that oxidative phosphorylation and respiratory chain capacity were fully functional at birth. By contrast, in liver mitochondria isolated from newborn rabbits, the rate of oxygen consumption from palmitoyl-L-carnitine was 60% higher than from palmitoyl-CoA. Similarly palmitoyl-CoA oxidation was increased 1.5-fold in isolated mitochondria from 24-h-old rabbits. These results were in agreement with the twofold increase in the activity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase I between birth and 24 h. However it is unlikely that the twofold increase in this enzyme activity totally explained the eightfold increase in long-chain fatty acid oxidation in isolated newborn rabbit hepatocytes. It was shown that the rate of the oxidation in isolated hepatocytes was inversely related to the rate of lipogenesis. Nevertheless, malonyl-CoA concentration per se is probably not the factor involved in the regulation of the oxidation between birth and 24 h, since a 90% decrease in hepatic malonyl-CoA concentration was not associated with a stimulation of long-chain fatty acid oxidation. The more likely mechanism was the 30-fold decrease in the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I to malonyl-CoA inhibition.

Abstract
The recovery of the parameters of the kinetic properties of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I in liver mitochondria of starved rats was studied after re-feeding animals for various periods of time. There were no significant changes either in the activity of the enzyme at high palmitoyl-CoA concentrations or in the affinity of the enzyme for palmitoyl-CoA, or in the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition after 3 h or 6 h re-feeding. After 24 h re-feeding, both the affinity of the enzyme for palmitoyl-CoA and the activity of the enzyme were still not significantly different from those for the enzyme in mitochondria from 24 h-starved animals. By contrast, the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition was largely, but not fully, restored to that observed in mitochondria from fed rats.

Abstract
Mitochondria were isolated from rat adult liver, foetal liver, kidney cortex, heart, skeletal muscle and interscapular brown adipose tissue. DL-2-Bromopalmitoyl-CoA inhibited the overt form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT1) in heart, skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue, with an IC50 value (concentration giving 50% inhibition) of 1.3-1.6 microM. By contrast, the IC50 value for inhibition of the kidney or adult liver enzyme was 0.08-0.1 microM. CPT1 in near-term foetal liver differed from that in adult liver in that the IC50 for inhibition by 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA was 0.57 microM. It is suggested that there may be tissue-specific forms of the catalytic entity of CPT1 and that foetal liver may contain a mixture of adult liver- and muscle-type enzymes. In rats made hypothyroid by administration of propylthiouracil and an iodine-deficient diet, hepatic CPT1 activity was decreased by 83%. However, CPT1 activity in extrahepatic tissues showed no adaptive decrease in hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Hepatic mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) properties, beta-oxidation of palmitoyl-CoA and membrane polarization were measured in lean and obese Zucker rats. The Vmax. of the 'outer' carnitine palmitoyltransferase ('CPT-A') increased with starvation, with no change in the Km for either carnitine or palmitoyl-CoA. The Ki for malonyl-CoA increased with starvation in lean rats, but not in obese rats. The Vmax. of the 'inner' enzyme ('CPT-B'), as measured by using inverted submitochondrial vesicles, increased with starvation in obese rats only, with no change in the Km for either carnitine or palmitoyl-CoA. The Ki for malonyl-CoA was 2-5-fold higher in inverted vesicles than in intact mitochondria, and showed no alteration with starvation. The activities of both enzymes correlated positively with each other and with beta-oxidation, and inversely with membrane polarization. Malonyl-CoA had little effect on gross membrane fluidity in the Zucker rat, as reflected by diphenylhexatriene fluorescence polarization. The results indicate that both enzymes are related and respond similarly to alterations in membrane fluidity. Membrane fluidity may provide a mechanism for co-ordinated control of CPT activity on both sides of the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Abstract
Intact mitochondria and inverted submitochondrial vesicles were prepared from the liver of fed, starved (48 h) and streptozotocin-diabetic rats in order to characterize carnitine palmitoyltransferase kinetics and malonyl-CoA sensitivity in situ. In intact mitochondria, both starved and diabetic rats exhibited increased Vmax., increased Km for palmitoyl-CoA, and decreased sensitivity to malonyl-CoA inhibition. Inverted submitochondrial vesicles also showed increased Vmax. with starvation and diabetes, with no change in Km for either palmitoyl-CoA or carnitine. Inverted vesicles were uniformly less sensitive to malonyl-CoA regardless of treatment, and diabetes resulted in a further decrease in sensitivity. In part, differences in the response of carnitine palmitoyltransferase to starvation and diabetes may reside in differences in the membrane environment, as observed with Arrhenius plots, and the relation of enzyme activity and membrane fluidity. In all cases, whether rats were fed, starved or diabetic, and whether intact or inverted vesicles were examined, increasing membrane fluidity was associated with increasing activity. Malonyl-CoA was found to produce a decrease in intact mitochondrial membrane fluidity in the fed state, particularly at pH 7.0 or less. No effect was observed in intact mitochondria from starved or diabetic rats, or in inverted vesicles from any of the treatment groups. Through its effect on membrane fluidity, malonyl-CoA could regulate carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity on both surfaces of the inner membrane through an interaction with only the outer surface.

Abstract
The effect of various inhibitors of fatty acid transport and of respiratory chain on palmitate oxidation was investigated in homogenates and mitochondria of rat muscle and homogenates of rat liver and human muscle. Inhibition of fatty acid transport by carnitine omission, malonyl-CoA, tetradecylglycidic acid and mersalyl decreased oxidation more with muscle than with rat liver. Antimycin and KCN decreased markedly palmitate oxidation and caused a larger accumulation of peroxisomal oxidation products. Inhibition of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid transport decreased accumulation of peroxisomal products in comparison to the control. The effect of malonyl-CoA was dependent on the nutritional state, the pH and the palmitate-albumin ratio with liver homogenates, and only on the latter parameter with muscle homogenates. Effects observed were comparable for rat and human muscle homogenates.
