RESUMO

Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast that naturally produces the red-orange carotenoid astaxanthin, which has remarkable antioxidant properties. The biosynthesis of carotenoids and sterols share some common elements that have been studied in X. dendrorhous. For example, their synthesis requires metabolites derived from the mevalonate pathway and in both specific pathways, cytochrome P450 enzymes are involved that share a single cytochrome P450 reductase, CrtR, which is essential for astaxanthin biosynthesis, but is replaceable for ergosterol biosynthesis. Research on the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis is still limited in X. dendrorhous; however, it is known that the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein (SREBP) pathway, which is a conserved regulatory pathway involved in the control of lipid metabolism, also regulates carotenoid production in X. dendrorhous. This review addresses the similarities and differences that have been observed between mammal and fungal SREBP pathways and what it is known about this pathway regarding the regulation of the production of carotenoids and sterols in X. dendrorhous.

RESUMO

The effect of the dietary intake of purple-corn extract (EMM) as a source of anthocyanins and the oral supplementation of chia oil (CH), rich in α-linolenic acid on the lipid metabolism of the mammary glands were evaluated by gene expression SREBP-1, Δ6D Δ5D in 36 nursing rats distributed in olive oil (OL), chia oil (CH), olive oil - EMM (EMM OL +) or chia oil - EMM (CH + EMM) treatments. Gene expression of SREBP-1 was similar in OL and CH, increasing in presence of EMM; suggesting that under this conditions, CH and OL oils have similar effect on SREBP-1, while anthocyanins upregulate the gene expression. ALA inhibited the expression of desaturases, and the anthocyanins imaaproved Δ5D expression at control levels similar or higher in the case of Δ6D.


Se evaluó el efecto dietario de un extracto de maíz morado (EMM) como fuente de antocianinas y la suplementación oral de aceite de chía (CH), rico en ácido α-linolénico sobre la expresión génica de SREBP-1, Δ5D y Δ6D en en glándula mamaria de 36 ratas nodrizas distribuidas en cuatro tratamientos: aceites de oliva (OL), CH, OL + EMM o CH + EMM. La expresión de SREBP-1 fue similar en OL y CH, incrementándose en presencia de EMM. La expresión de Δ5D y Δ6D fue mayor en OL que en CH, donde incrementó en presencia de EMM, sugiriendo que bajo estas condiciones los aceites CH y OL tienen efectos similares sobre la expresión de SREBP-1 mientras las antocianinas regulan al alza dicha expresión. ALA inhibió la expresión de las desaturasas y la presencia de antocianinas aumentó la de Δ5D a niveles similares al control, o superiores en el caso de Δ6D.

RESUMO

El síndrome nefrótico (SN) cursa con hiperlipidemia. Se conoce que la biosíntesis del colesterol y de los ácidos grasos es regulada por los factores transcripcionales que se unen a los elementos de respuesta a esteroles (SREBP's). El consumo de proteína de soya disminuye la concentración de estos lípidos, aunque su mecanismo de acción no es del todo conocido. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer si el consumo de la proteína de soya reduce los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos a través de una regulación de las SREBP 's. Se estudiaron ratas Wistar macho con SN experimental por 64 días. Se observó que las concentraciones plasmáticos de colesterol y triglicéridos plasmáticos, así como de la proteinuria eran significativamente menores en las ratas alimentadas con proteína de soya que aquellas que consumían caseína. Estos cambios se asociaron con disminución de la expresión del ARNm SREBP 1 y de las enzimas de la síntesis de ácidos grasos. Los análisis por Western Blot revelaron que en los núcleos de hepatocitos obtenidos de ratas alimentadas con proteína de soya hubo menor presencia del factor transcripcional SREBP 1. Los resultados de este estudio indican que el consumo de proteína de soya produce efectos benéficos durante el síndrome nefrótico.


Hyperlipidemia occurs during nephrotic syndrome (NS). It is known that cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis is controlled by the transcription factors sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Soy protein consumption reduces the concentration of these lipids, although its mechanism of action is not well known. The aim of the present study was to establish whether soy protein consumption reduces cholesterol and triglycerides levels by regulating of SREBPs. Male Wistar rats with experimental NS were studied for 64 days. The results showed that rats fed with soy protein had significantly lower plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations as well as proteinuria than rats fed with casein diet. These decrements were associated with a decrease in the expression of SREBP 1 and fatty acid biosynthetic enzymes. In addition, Western blot analysis revealed that in nuclear extracts from hepatocytes of rats fed with soy protein, there was a lower concentration of SREBP 1 than in rats fed with casein. The results of this study indicate that consumption of a soy protein diet has beneficial effects on nephrotic syndrome.
