Abstract
Introduction: High concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) is the key of characteristic of fatty liver in dairy cows. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high concentration of NEFA on lipid metabolism in hepatocytes through the lipidomic approach and molecular biology techniques.Methods: Stimulate AML-12 cells with different concentrations of NEFA, observe the cellular lipid accumulation, and select 0.6 mM NEFA stimulation concentration for subsequent experiments. Collect cells for lipidomics analysis.Results: High concentration of NEFA (0.6–2.4 mM) significantly reduced the cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that high concentrations of NEFA have lipotoxicity on hepatocytes. In addition, NEFA promoted triglycerides (TAG) accumulation, increased the mRNA expression of the lipogenic molecules SREBP1c and FASN, and decreased the mRNA expression of lipolytic molecules CPT1A and HSL in hepatocytes. Mechanistically, high concentration of NEFA induced lipid metabolism disorders in hepatocytes by regulating metabolic pathways such as glycerol phospholipid metabolism, glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchored biosynthesis, triglyceride metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and inositol phosphate metabolism.Discussion: High concentration of NEFA is lipotoxic to cells, promoting lipid accumulation. LPE (18:2), LPE (18:3), LPE (18:1) via glycerophospholipid metabolism, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, glycerolipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and inositol phosphate metabolism, indicating their potential regulation role in the pathogenesis of fatty liver.
