Carnitine O-octanoyltransferase (CROT) is a well-established peroxisomal enzyme involved in liver fatty acid oxidation, but less is known about its recently discovered role in promoting vascular calcification, and whether CROT-dependent liver metabolism contributes to the latter. To date, CROT function in the context of calcification potential has been conducted in the dyslipidemic low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient () mice. To differentiate peroxisome and CROT-dependent lipid biology from that of lipoprotein-mediated lipid biology, we therefore conducted a metabolomic analysis of the liver and plasma of normolipidemic CROT-deficient () mice. We performed LC-MS-based metabolomics on liver and plasma derived from and +/- mice and sibling mice, using a dual-phase metabolite extraction protocol, and multiple LC-MS acquisition strategies. We identified between 79 to 453 annotated metabolites from annotated metabolites from liver samples, and 117 to 424 annotated metabolites from plasma samples. Through differential abundance analysis, we determined that omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA, DPA, and DHA were higher in the liver of and +/- mice than mice. EPA were higher in plasma of mice than mice. We also determined that the anti-inflammatory dicarboxylic acids, tetradecanedioic acid and azelaic acid, were higher in the plasma of CROT-deficient mice. Our study associated genetic CROT deletion with increased levels of anti-inflammatory molecules in mouse liver and plasma. These results suggest a potential mechanism for anti-calcification effects of CROT suppression and the potential use of omega-3 fatty acids as biomarkers for future CROT inhibition therapies.
肉碱O - 辛酰基转移酶(CROT)是一种公认的参与肝脏脂肪酸氧化的过氧化物酶体酶,但对于其最近发现的促进血管钙化的作用以及CROT依赖性肝脏代谢是否促成后者,人们了解较少。迄今为止,在血脂异常的低密度脂蛋白受体缺陷()小鼠中研究了CROT在钙化潜能方面的功能。为了区分过氧化物酶体和CROT依赖性脂质生物学与脂蛋白介导的脂质生物学,我们对血脂正常的CROT缺陷()小鼠的肝脏和血浆进行了代谢组学分析。我们使用双相代谢物提取方案和多种液相色谱 - 质谱采集策略,对来自和+/-小鼠以及同窝小鼠的肝脏和血浆进行了基于液相色谱 - 质谱的代谢组学分析。我们从肝脏样本的注释代谢物中鉴定出79至453种注释代谢物,从血浆样本中鉴定出117至424种注释代谢物。通过差异丰度分析,我们确定,和+/-小鼠肝脏中的ω-3脂肪酸,如二十碳五烯酸(EPA)、二十二碳五烯酸(DPA)和二十二碳六烯酸(DHA),比小鼠中的含量更高。小鼠血浆中的EPA含量比小鼠中的更高。我们还确定,抗炎性二羧酸,十四烷二酸和壬二酸,在CROT缺陷小鼠的血浆中含量更高。我们的研究将基因CROT缺失与小鼠肝脏和血浆中抗炎分子水平的升高联系起来。这些结果表明了CROT抑制的抗钙化作用的潜在机制,以及ω-3脂肪酸作为未来CROT抑制疗法生物标志物的潜在用途。
