DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major goal of this proposal is to investigate the mechanism of action of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), the naturally occurring isomers of linoleic acid (LA), which have several unique physicochemical properties and biological activities. The two major CLA isomers in the dairy products and meats, namely cis 9 trans 11 CLA, and trans 10 cis 12 CLA, have several isomer-specific and species-specific beneficial effects, including anti-cancer and anti-obesity effects. However, they are also known to cause undesirable effects such as insulin resistance and fatty liver in certain species but not others. Despite extensive studies, the mechanism of action of CLA is largely unknown. In this proposal, we will test the novel hypothesis that the CLA act through modification of the membrane structure, especially the raft domains of the plasma membrane, and the micro environment of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We will first determine the incorporation profiles of different CLA isomers into membranes of cultured hepatocytes, adipocytes, and myocytes of human and mouse origins. These studies will determine to what extent specific CLA isomers modify the lipid and fatty acid composition of the raft domains and the ER, and whether there is a tissue- and species- specificity in the incorporation profiles and membrane composition changes. We will also investigate the effect of the presence of CLA at the sn-1 position of phospholipids on the properties of the membranes, since our preliminary studies show that unlike LA, the CLA are preferentially incorporated into the sn-1 position of cellular phospholipids. We will next compare the in vivo incorporation profiles of dietary CLA in mice and rats, since these two animal species respond very differently to CLA, especially with regard to insulin resistance and fatty liver development. The effect of CLA on the distribution of raft-associated proteins will be investigated in cultured cells, as well as in primary adipocytes and hepatocytes from mice and rats. The function of raft associated proteins, specifically those involved in the insulin receptor signaling pathway will be studied following the CLA enrichment and insulin stimulation of the cells in vitro. In addition, the effectof CLA enrichment of cell membranes on glucose uptake, glycogenesis, and lipogenesis will be assessed. These studies should show whether the isomer- specific effects of CLA on insulin resistance are due to their modification of membrane structure. Finally, we will test the hypothesis that specific CLA species induce ER stress, and consequently promote the development of fatty liver and insulin resistance. We propose that the previously reported effects of CLA on the transcription of various genes involved in lipid metabolism and inflammation are due to the altered membrane composition of ER, which in turn affects the activation of transcription factors including sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), the master regulators of lipid metabolism. The effect of various CLA isomers on ER lipid composition and the induction of ER stress proteins will be correlated with the activation of the SREBPs and the expression of their target genes. The results from all these studies should lead to a better understanding of the isomer-specific, tissue-specific, and species-specific actions of CLA, and to a more rational use of these nutraceutical agents for treatment or prevention of obesity, diabetes and other diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案的主要目的是研究共轭亚油酸（CLA）的作用机理，即天然存在的亚油酸异构体（LA），它们具有多种独特的物理化学特性和生物活性。乳制品和肉类中的两个主要CLA异构体，即顺式9 Trans 11 CLA和Trans 10 CIS 12 CLA具有几种异构体特异性和特异性的有益作用，包括抗癌和抗肥胖作用。但是，它们也众所周知会引起不良影响，例如某些物种而不是其他物种，例如胰岛素抵抗和脂肪肝。尽管进行了广泛的研究，但CLA的作用机理在很大程度上尚不清楚。在此提案中，我们将检验以下新的假设，即CLA通过修饰膜结构（尤其是质膜的筏结构域）和内质网（ER）的微环境作用。 我们将首先确定不同CLA异构体的掺入曲线纳入培养的肝细胞，脂肪细胞和人和小鼠起源的肌细胞的膜。这些研究将确定特定的CLA异构体在多大程度上改变了筏结构域和ER的脂质和脂肪酸组成，以及在掺入曲线和膜组成变化中是否存在组织和物种特异性。我们还将研究CLA在磷脂的SN-1位置的存在对膜特性的影响，因为我们的初步研究表明，与LA不同，CLA优先纳入细胞磷脂的SN-1位置。 接下来，我们将比较小鼠和大鼠饮食中CLA的体内结合谱，因为这两种动物对CLA的反应非常不同，尤其是在胰岛素抵抗和脂肪肝发育方面。在培养细胞中也将研究CLA对筏相关蛋白分布的影响 就像在小鼠和大鼠的原发性脂肪细胞和肝细胞中一样。在体外的CLA富集和胰岛素刺激之后，将研究筏相关蛋白的功能，特别是胰岛素受体信号通路的功能。另外，将评估细胞膜富集对葡萄糖摄取，糖生成和脂肪形成的影响。这些研究应表明CLA对胰岛素耐药性的异构体特异性作用是否是由于它们对膜结构的修饰所致。 最后，我们将检验以下假设：特定的CLA物种会诱导ER应力，从而促进脂肪肝和胰岛素抵抗的发展。我们提出，先前报道的CLA对脂质代谢和炎症的各种基因的转录的影响是由于ER的膜组成的改变，这又影响了转录因子的激活，包括固醇调节性元件结合蛋白（SREBPS），包括脂质代谢的主调节剂，包括固醇调节元素结合蛋白（SREBPS）。各种CLA异构体对ER脂质组成的影响以及ER应激蛋白的诱导将与SREBPS的激活和其靶基因的表达相关。所有这些研究的结果应使CLA的异构体特异性，特异性和物种特异性作用更好地理解，并更合理地使用这些营养剂来治疗或预防肥胖，糖尿病和其他疾病。
