CDKN2B expression in adipose tissue of familial combined hyperlipidemia patients.

چکیده
The purpose of this study was to determine the core biological processes perturbed in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) patients. Annotation of FCHL and control microarray datasets revealed a distinctive FCHL transcriptome, characterized by gene expression changes regulating five overlapping systems: the cytoskeleton, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix; vesicular trafficking; lipid homeostasis; and cell cycle and apoptosis. Expression values for the cell-cycle inhibitor CDKN2B were increased, replicating data from an independent FCHL cohort. In 3T3-L1 cells, CDKN2B knockdown induced C/EBPα expression and lipid accumulation. The minor allele at SNP site rs1063192 (C) was predicted to create a perfect seed for the human miRNA-323b-5p. A miR-323b-5p mimic significantly reduced endogenous CDKN2B protein levels and the activity of a CDKN2B 3'UTR luciferase reporter carrying the rs1063192 C allele. Although the allele displayed suggestive evidence of association with reduced CDKN2B mRNA in the MuTHER adipose tissue dataset, family studies suggest the association between increased CDKN2B expression and FCHL-lipid abnormalities is driven by factors external to this gene locus. In conclusion, from a comparative annotation analysis of two separate FCHL adipose tissue transcriptomes and a subsequent focus on CDKN2B, we propose that dysfunctional adipogenesis forms an integral part of FCHL pathogenesis.

Differential gene expression of blood-derived cell lines in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
OBJECTIVES The genetic background of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is currently unclear. We propose transcriptional profiling as a complementary tool for its understanding. Two hypotheses were tested: the existence of a disease-specific modification of gene expression in FCHL and the detectability of such a transcriptional profile in blood derived cell lines. METHODS AND RESULTS We ...

Up-regulation of CD36/FAT in preadipocytes in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) shows many features of the metabolic syndrome. The strong genetic component makes it an excellent model to study the genetic background of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Adipose tissue is believed to contribute to, or even underlie, the FCHL phenotype and is an interesting target tissue for gene expression studies. However, interpretation of a...

Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is characterized by increased levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and/or apolipoprotein B. Other features of FCH are obesity and insulin resistance. Adiponectin is a secretory product of the adipose tissue. Low levels of adiponectin are associated with insulin resistance and accelerated atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine whethe...

OBJECTIVE There is increasing physiological evidence in rodents connecting the neuropeptide galanin to triglyceride (TG) levels. We hypothesized that variation in the galanin preproprotein (GAL) gene may contribute to hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated GAL as a TG candidate gene by genotyping 4 tagSNPs in Dutch, Finnish, and Mexican familial combined hyp...
