Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Adiponectin protects from hepatic fat storage but surprisingly adiponectin deficient mice (APN-/-) fed a standard chow do not develop liver steatosis. This indicates that other pathways might be activated to compensate for adiponectin deficiency. An unbiased and comprehensive screen of major lipid classes was performed to identify hepatic alterations in these mice. APN-/- mice had decreased hepatic cholesterol while active SREBP2 and systemic cholesterol were not altered. Upregulation of cytochromes for bile acid synthesis suggests enhanced biliary cholesterol excretion. Analysis of 37 individual fatty acid species showed reduced stearate whereas total fatty acids were increased. Triglycerides and phospholipids were equal suggesting elevation of unesterified free fatty acids. Elongase activity and lipogenic index tended to be lower excluding increased fatty acid synthesis. A selective increase of monounsaturated phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine with the latter showing a positive correlation with systemic triglycerides, which are elevated in APN-/- mice, was identified. SCD1 synthesizes monounsaturated fatty acids and despite higher mRNA expression enzyme activity was not enhanced. Glucosylceramide postulated to contribute to liver damage was decreased. This study demonstrates that adiponectin deficiency is associated with hepatic changes in major lipid classes in mice fed a standard chow which may protect the mice from liver steatosis.
