Abstract:

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). A number of studies support the hypothesis that SCD gene regulation and polymorphism may affect fatty acid composition and fat quality in meat and milk. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of the bovine stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene have been predicted to result in p. 293A (alanine at amino acid 293) and p. 293V (valine at amino acid 293) alleles at the stearoyl-CoA desaturase1 locus. The objective of this study was to characterize polymorphisms of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) gene in Khuzestan buffalo population. This is the first study of SCD1 gene polymorphism in Iranian buffalo. The blood samples were taken from 85 buffalo of Khuzestan-Iran population. Genomic DNA was extracted using a kit DIAtom DNA prep. After this, PCR reactions were made by using primers that encloses exon V. A 400 bp fragment amplified with standard PCR method. The PCR products were digested by NCO1 restriction enzyme with PCR-RFLP method. All samples were genotyped on 3% agarose gels stained with ethidium bromide. Electrophoretic mobility shift determined that there were not genetic differences between these animals in the studied region by using NCOI  enzyme. Also, this study showed that genotype frequencies were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for SCD1 gene.

Significant associations of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) gene with fat deposition and composition in skeletal muscle

Gene expression studies in humans and animals have shown that elevated stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) activity is associated with increased fat accumulation and monounsaturation of saturated fatty acids in skeletal muscle. However, results of the two reported association studies in humans are inconsistent. In the present study, we annotated the bovine SCD1 gene and identified 3 single nucleotid...

Inhibition of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) DissociatesInsulin Resistance and Obesity From Atherosclerosis

Background—Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a well-known enhancer of the metabolic syndrome. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of SCD1 in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis progression. Methods and Results—Antisense oligonucleotides were used to inhibit SCD1 in a mouse model of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis (LDLr-/-Apob100/100). In agreement with previ...

Heterogeneity of the Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) Gene and Metabolic Risk Factors in the EPIC-Potsdam Study

BACKGROUND Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism. In mice and humans its activity has been associated with traits of the metabolic syndrome, but also with the prevention of saturated fatty acids accumulation and subsequent inflammation, whereas for liver fat content inconsistent results have been reported. Thus, variants of the gene encoding SCD1 (SCD1) coul...

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1) gene overexpression is associated with genetic predisposition to hepatocarcinogenesis in mice and rats.

The stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1) gene is involved in the synthesis and regulation of unsaturated fatty acids. Its expression is increased by several treatments/conditions that are associated with hepatocarcinogenesis (peroxisome proliferators, iron overload, dichloroacetic acid). We found that the Scd1 gene is differentially expressed, showing >10-fold higher mRNA levels in the normal liver...
