Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) catalyzes the rate limiting step in monounsaturated fatty acid synthesis by inserting a double bond at the delta-9 position of long-chain fatty acids. SCD1 converts stearate (18:0) to oleate (18:1n9) and palmitate (16:0) to palmitoleate (16:1n7), respectively. Mice with global and skin-specific deletion (SKO) of SCD1 exhibit increased whole body energy expenditure and protection against diet-induced adiposity, hepatic steatosis, insulin sensitivity and glucose intolerance. The mechanisms that link cutaneous lipid homeostasis with whole body energy balance are presently unknown. In this study, we reveal that SKO mice demonstrate increased skin surface free cholesterol, decreased circulating total cholesterol and increased taurine-conjugated and hydrophilic bile acids. Tauro-β-muricholic acid, which is a marker of extrahepatic bile acid synthesis, is significantly elevated in SKO plasma. Bile acid signaling through the bile acid-specific receptor TGR5 is known to be protective against obesity and metabolic disease; a phenotype that is similar to SKO mice. We therefore examined TGR5 expression and its downstream mediator, DIO2, in various tissues and found that both TGR5 and DIO2 expression were significantly increased in brown adipose tissue. In sum, we suggest that skin-derived bile acids are involved in the lean and metabolically healthy phenotype of SKO mice. |
