Visfatin is a newly discovered visceral fat-specific adipocytokine. It is upregulated in obesity and exerts insulin-mimetic effects in various tissues in human and mouse. We reported here the cloning and characterization of porcine visfatin, its three alternate splicing variants. Sequence analysis indicated that variant 1 is the predominant form among species, which contains an open reading frame of 1473 bp encoding a 52-kDa protein of 491 amino acids. While the other two variants were predicted to encode two 3' truncated proteins due to early termination. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences deduced from variant 1 were conservative across species. The porcine visfatin gene was composed of 11 exons at least and had exactly the same exon/intron structure as the human orthologs. Nested PCR showed that variants 1 and 3 were ubiquitously expressed in porcine tissues and that variant 2 was expressed in most tissues examined with exception of testis and liver. The discovery of the three variants of visfatin in porcine would be useful to the further investigation of the function of the visfatin gene. 相似文献

The discovery of the obesity gene and its product, leptin, it is now possible to examine the relationship between body fat and the neuroendocrine axis. A minimum percentage of body fat may be linked to onset of puberty and weaning-to-estrus interval in the pig. Adipose tissue is no longer considered as only a depot to store excess energy in the form of fat. Recent findings demonstrate that numerous genes, i.e., relaxin, interleukins and other cytokines and biologically active substances such as leptin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF-II and Agouti protein are produced by porcine adipose tissue, which could have a profound effect on appetite and the reproductive axis. Hypothalamic neurons are transsynaptically connected to porcine adipose tissue and may regulate adipose tissue function. In the pig nutritional signals such as leptin are detected by the central nervous system (CNS) and translated by the neuroendocrine system into signals, which regulate appetite, hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release and subsequent luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Furthermore, leptin directly affects LH secretion from the pituitary gland independent of CNS input. Changes in body weight or nutritional status are characterized by altered adipocyte function a reduction in adipose tissue leptin expression, serum leptin concentrations and a concurrent decrease in LH secretion. During pubertal development serum leptin levels, hypothalamic leptin receptor mRNA and estrogen-induced leptin gene expression in fat increased with age and adiposity in the pig and this occurred at the time of expected puberty. In the lactating sow serum and milk leptin concentrations were positively correlated with backfat thickness and level of dietary energy fed during gestation as well as feed consumption. Although, these results identify leptin as a putative signal that links metabolic status and neuroendocrine control of reproduction, other adipocyte protein products may play an important role in regulating the reproductive axis in the pig. 相似文献

Adipose tissue gene expression in obese dogs after weight loss 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Body weight (BW) mainly depends on a balance between fat storage (lipogenesis) and fat mobilization (lipolysis) in adipocytes. BW changes play a role in insulin resistance (IR), the inability of insulin target tissue to respond to physiological levels of insulin. This results in inhibition of lipogenesis and stimulation of lipolysis. Weight gain leads to IR whereas, weight loss improves insulin sensitivity (IS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of weight loss and recovery of IS on the expression of genes involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis in weight losing dogs. Gene expression was studied in both subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue. Obese dogs received a hypoenergetic low fat high protein diet (0.6 x NRC recommendation). Before and after weight loss, IS was assessed using the euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp. Gene expression of IRS-2, SREBP, intracellular insulin effectors, ACC, FAS, FABP, ADRP, PEPCK, lipogenesis key proteins, perilipin and HSL, lipolysis key proteins were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in subcutaneous and visceral fat. BW decreased from 15.2 +/- 0.5 to 11.4 +/- 0.4 kg (p < 0.05) over 78 +/- 8 days. When obese, dogs were insulin resistant. After weight loss, IS was improved. In the subcutaneous adipose tissue, the expression of only the IRS-2 was increased. In the visceral adipose tissue, the expression of the genes involved in the lipogenesis was decreased whereas one of the genes implied in the lipolysis did not change. The expression profile of genes involved in lipid metabolism, as measured after weight loss, is indicative for a lower lipogenesis after weight loss than in obese dogs. Our results also confirm dramatic differences in the lipid metabolism of visceral and subcutaneous fat. They should be completed by comparing gene expression during weight losing and normal weight steady state. 相似文献

利用半定量RT-PCR法分析比较了甘油三酯水解酶(Triacylglycerol hydrolase,TGH)和激素敏感脂酶(Hormone-sensitive lipase,HSL)基因在不同猪种、不同发育阶段及不同部位脂肪组织中转录表达的差异,探讨其在猪脂肪组织的表达规律。结果显示,脂肪型个体TGHmRNA表达丰度显著低于瘦肉型和杂交型个体,成年猪较初生仔猪低,皮下、腹膜和内脏脂肪组织中TGH表达量依次递增;其变化规律与HSL相同。此外,对分离培养的原代前体脂肪细胞通过诱导分化和油红O染色区分分化状态,分析TGHmRNA表达的时序变化,发现TGH在前脂肪细胞中不转录表达,诱导分化后开始表达,且在诱导分化第4天表达量最高,分化第10天表达量下降,达到峰值的时间较HSL早。结果表明,TGH的表达与个体肥胖程度、年龄、脂肪组织部位以及脂肪细胞分化程度相关,同时,在脂肪细胞分化过程中,TGH表达峰值早于HSL,提示TGH在脂肪细胞发育过程中可能较早承担基础脂解作用。 相似文献

Aquaporins (AQPs) are members of a large family of integral membrane proteins involved in the rapid movement of water and neutral solutes across cell membranes. In this study, we have prepared an affinity-purified porcine-specific polyclonal antiserum to AQP9 and have investigated the distribution and expression of AQP9 in pig liver tissue and in hepatocytes in primary culture. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that AQP9 was primarily localized in the membrane structures of hepatocytes and was not associated with intrahepatic bile ducts or blood vessels. Western blot analysis indicated that AQP9 ranged in apparent molecular mass between 27 and 38 kD in whole liver and hepatocyte membrane fractions; minor components were also observed at approximately 34 kD in the cytosol compartment of hepatocytes, bile duct and gall bladder. A prominent immunoreactive band at 44 kD was shown to be an artifact of Western blot analysis. In primary cultures of porcine hepatocytes, glucagon enhanced absolute levels of AQP9 protein, while gene expression was enhanced by T3 and glucagon. Insulin alone had no discernable influence on AQP9 gene expression or its cellular protein levels. These data suggest that AQP9 is a major AQP in porcine hepatic tissue and appears to be primarily responsive to glucagon induction. 相似文献

Expression of adiponectin and its receptors in swine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that plays an important role in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Objectives of this study were 1) to determine the presence and distribution of adiponectin and its receptors 1 and 2 (adipoR1 and adipoR2) in porcine tissues; 2) to characterize pig adiponectin, adipoR1, and adipoR2 mRNA levels in various fat depots from three different breeds of pigs; and 3) to study, in stromal-vascular cell culture, the effects of leptin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) on pig adiponectin, adipoR1, and adipoR2 gene expression. To this end, fat Chinese Upton Meishan (UM, n = 10), lean Ham Line (HL, n = 10), and Large White (LW, n = 10) gilts were used. We report the isolation of partial cDNA sequences of pig adipoR1 and adipoR2. Porcine-deduced AA sequences share 97 to 100% homology with human and murine sequences. Pig adipoR1 mRNA is abundant in skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and s.c. fat tissues, whereas adipoR2 mRNA is predominantly expressed in liver, heart, skeletal muscle, and visceral and s.c. fat tissues. Pig adiponectin mRNA levels in s.c. and visceral fat tissues were not associated with plasma insulin and glucose in fasting animals. Subcutaneous (r = -0.44, P < 0.05), visceral (r = -0.43, P < 0.05), and total body fat (r = -0.42, P < 0.05) weights were negatively correlated with adiponectin mRNA levels measured in visceral, but not s.c., fat. Pig adipoR1 and adipoR2 mRNA levels, in visceral fat, were less expressed in fat UM gilts than in the lean HL gilts (P < 0.05). Inverse associations were found between s.c. (r = -0.57, P < 0.01), visceral (r = -0.46, P < 0.05), and total body fat (r = -0.56, P < 0.01) weights and adipoR2 mRNA levels in visceral fat only. We were unable to find such associations for adipoR1 mRNA levels in the overall gilt population. The current study demonstrated that TNFalpha downregulates adiponectin and adipoR2, but not adi-poR1, mRNA levels in stromal-vascular cell culture. Moreover, leptin significantly decreased adiponectin mRNA levels, whereas there was no effect on adiponectin receptors. We conclude that adiponectin and adi-poR2 mRNA levels, but not adipoR1, are modulated in pig visceral fat tissues. Furthermore, our results indicate that TNFalpha interferes with adiponectin function by downregulation of adipoR2 but not of adipoR1 mRNA levels in pigs. 相似文献

Biology of leptin in the pig 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The recently discovered protein, leptin, which is secreted by fat cells in response to changes in body weight or energy, has been implicated in regulation of feed intake, energy expenditure and the neuroendocrine axis in rodents and humans. Leptin was first identified as the gene product found deficient in the obese ob/ob mouse. Administration of leptin to ob/ob mice led to improved reproduction as well as reduced feed intake and weight loss. The porcine leptin receptor has been cloned and is a member of the class 1 cytokine family of receptors. Leptin has been implicated in the regulation of immune function and the anorexia associated with disease. The leptin receptor is localized in the brain and pituitary of the pig. The leptin response to acute inflammation is uncoupled from anorexia and is differentially regulated among swine genotypes. In vitro studies demonstrated that the leptin gene is expressed by porcine preadipocytes and leptin gene expression is highly dependent on dexamethasone induced preadipocyte differentiation. Hormonally driven preadipocyte recruitment and subsequent fat cell size may regulate leptin gene expression in the pig. Expression of CCAAT-enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) mediates insulin dependent preadipocyte leptin gene expression during lipid accretion. In contrast, insulin independent leptin gene expression may be maintained by C/EBP auto-activation and phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Adipogenic hormones may increase adipose tissue leptin gene expression in the fetus indirectly by inducing preadipocyte recruitment and subsequent differentiation. Central administration of leptin to pigs suppressed feed intake and stimulated growth hormone (GH) secretion. Serum leptin concentrations increased with age and estradiol-induced leptin mRNA expression in fat was age and weight dependent in prepuberal gilts. This occurred at the time of expected puberty in intact contemporaries and was associated with greater LH secretion. Further work demonstrated that leptin acts directly on pituitary cells to enhance LH and GH secretion, and brain tissue to stimulate gonadotropin releasing hormone secretion. Thus, development of nutritional schemes and (or) gene therapy to manipulate leptin secretion will lead to practical methods of controlling appetite, growth and reproduction in farm animals, thereby increasing efficiency of lean meat production. 相似文献

In this study,to investigate the regulatory role of methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3) on milk protein and fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC),different BMEC models were established, the expression of related genes and localization of METTL3 were detected,and the impact of METTL3 on milk protein and fat synthesis in BMEC after adding β-estrogen (E),methionine (Met),and overexpression or inhibition of METTL3 were measured using Western blotting and imunofluorescience methods. The results showed that when E and Met were added or the METTL3 expression was promoted,the expressions of mTOR,p-mTOR,GlyRS,p-GlyRS,CSN2 and SREBP-1c were increased,oppositely,the gene expression were decreased. Those results indicated that METTL3 could affect the milk fat and protein synthesis by adjusting the expression of related signaling pathway gene.METTL3 was one of the important regulating milk synthetic molecules and had an positively regulation on milk fat and protein synthesis in cells. 相似文献

本试验旨在研究m6A甲基转移酶(methyltransferase-like protein 3,METTL3)在奶牛乳腺上皮细胞(bovine mammary epithelial cells,BMEC)中对乳蛋白和乳脂肪的调节作用。试验建立不同的BMEC模型,应用Western blotting、免疫荧光法检测添加雌激素(E)、蛋氨酸(Met)、METTL3超表达和抑制时对BMEC中乳蛋白和乳脂的影响,以及基因定位和表达变化。结果显示,当在BMEC培养液中添加E、Met及METTL3表达水平提高时,mTOR、p-mTOR、GlyRS、p-GlyRS、CSN2、SREBP-1c等表达量均增加,反之,这些基因表达量均下降,表明METTL3可以通过调控乳脂、乳蛋白的相关信号通路分子的基因表达进而影响乳脂、乳蛋白的表达。提示METTL3是乳合成的重要调节分子,可对细胞中乳脂、乳蛋白的合成起正调控作用。 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of dietary betaine over a range of concentrations (between 0 and 0.5%) on growth and body composition in young feed-restricted pigs. Betaine is associated with decreased lipid deposition and altered protein utilization in finishing pigs, and it has been suggested that the positive effects of betaine on growth and carcass composition may be greater in energy-restricted pigs. Thirty-two barrows (36 kg, n = 8 pigs per group) were restrictively fed one of four corn-soybean meal-skim milk based diets (18.6% crude protein, 3.23 Mcal ME/kg) and supplemented with 0, 0.125, 0.25, or 0.5% betaine. Feed allotment was adjusted weekly according to BW, such that average feed intake was approximately 1.7 kg for all groups. At 64 kg, pigs were slaughtered and visceral tissue was removed and weighed. Carcasses were chilled for 24 h to obtain carcass measurements. Subsequently, one-half of each carcass and whole visceral tissue were ground for chemical analysis. Linear regression analysis indicated that, as betaine content of the diet was elevated from 0 to 0.5%, carcass fat concentration (P = 0.06), P3 fat depth (P = 0.14) and viscera weight (P = 0.129) were decreased, whereas total carcass protein (P = 0.124), protein deposition rate (P = 0.98), and lean gain efficiency (P = 0.115) were increased. The greatest differences over control pigs were observed in pigs consuming 0.5% betaine, where carcass fat concentration and P3 fat depth were decreased by 10 and 26%, respectively. Other fat depth measurements were not different (P > 0.15) from those of control pigs. In addition, pigs consuming the highest betaine level had a 19% increase in the carcass protein:fat ratio, 23% higher carcass protein deposition rate, and a 24% increase in lean gain efficiency compared with controls. Dietary betaine had no effects (P > 0.15) on growth performance, visceral tissue chemical composition, carcass fat deposition rate, visceral fat and protein deposition rates, or serum urea and ammonia concentrations. These data suggest that betaine alters nutrient partitioning such that carcass protein deposition is enhanced at the expense of carcass fat and in part, visceral tissue. 相似文献
