Plasmalogens (Pls), a special group of phospholipids, are effective in ameliorating neurodegenerative disease. In the present study, the metabolic effects of seafood-derived Pls on high fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperlipidemia in zebrafish were evaluated, and the underlying mechanisms of dietary Pls against hyperlipidemia were explored through integrated analyses of hepatic transcriptomics and metabolomics. The results demonstrated that Pls supplementation could effectively alleviate HFD-induced obesity symptoms, such as body weight gain, and decrease total hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Integrated hepatic transcriptome and metabolome data suggested that Pls mainly altered lipid metabolism pathways (FA metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and glycerolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism) and the TCA cycle, induced the overexpression of anti-oxidation enzymes (, , and ), reduced disease biomarkers (such as glutarylcarnitine, gamma-glutamyltyrosine, and 11-prostaglandin f2) and gut microbiota-derived metabolites, and increased (±)12(13)-diHOME, EPA, lysoPC and PC levels. Moreover, 5 abnormally regulated metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers associated with hyperlipidemia according to the metabolomics results and suggested the involvement of gut microbiota in the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of Pls. Collectively, these findings suggest that the protective role of Pls is mainly associated with the promotion of unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and cholesterol efflux, lipid and phospholipid PUFA remodeling, and anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory capabilities. This study provides valuable information for reasonably explaining the beneficial effects of seafood-derived Pls in alleviating hyperlipidemia and thus may contribute to the development and application of Pls as functional foods or dietary supplements to protect against obesity and hyperlipidemia.
磷脂酰乙醇胺(Pls)是一类特殊的磷脂,具有改善神经退行性疾病的作用。本研究评估了源自海产品的 Pls 对高脂肪饮食(HFD)诱导的斑马鱼高血脂的代谢作用,并通过肝转录组学和代谢组学的综合分析探讨了膳食 Pls 防治高血脂的潜在机制。结果表明,Pls 补充可有效缓解 HFD 引起的肥胖症状,如体重增加,并降低总肝胆固醇和甘油三酯水平。肝转录组和代谢组学综合数据表明,Pls 主要改变脂质代谢途径(FA 代谢、初级胆汁酸生物合成、甾体激素生物合成、甘油酯和甘油磷脂代谢)和 TCA 循环,诱导抗氧化酶的过度表达(,,和),降低疾病生物标志物(如丙酰肉碱、γ-谷氨酰酪氨酸和 11-前列腺素 F2)和肠道微生物群衍生代谢物的水平,并增加(±)12(13)-二羟基硬脂酸、EPA、溶血磷脂酰胆碱和 PC 的水平。此外,根据代谢组学结果,有 5 种异常调节的代谢物被鉴定为与高血脂相关的潜在生物标志物,提示 Pls 的抗高血脂作用可能与肠道微生物群有关。总之,这些发现表明 Pls 的保护作用主要与促进不饱和脂肪酸的生物合成和胆固醇流出、脂质和磷脂 PUFA 的重塑、抗氧化和抗炎能力有关。本研究为合理解释源自海产品的 Pls 缓解高血脂的有益作用提供了有价值的信息,可能有助于 Pls 作为功能性食品或膳食补充剂的开发和应用,以预防肥胖和高血脂。
