| Popis: | When medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) larvae are grown in the absence of exogenous nutrition, the liver becomes dark and positive to Oil Red O staining from 7 days post-hatch (dph). We determined the mechanism of this starvation-induced development of fatty liver by proteomic analysis using livers obtained from larvae grown in the presence or absence of 2% glucose at 5 dph. Results showed that changes in the expression levels of enzymes involved in glycolysis or the tricarboxylic acid cycle were modest, whereas the expression levels of enzymes involved in amino acid catabolism or β-oxidation of fatty acids were significantly elevated, suggesting that they become major energy sources under starvation conditions. Expression levels of enzymes for the uptake and β-oxidation of fatty acids as well as synthesis of triacylglycerol were elevated, whereas those for the synthesis of cholesterol as well as export of cholesterol and triacylglycerol were decreased under starvation conditions, which explains the accumulation of triacylglycerol in the liver. Our results provide the basis for future research to understand how gene malfunction(s) affects the development of fatty liver, which can lead to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and then to liver cirrhosis. Key words: amino acid catabolism, β-oxidation, triacylglycerol, cholesterol, export |
