RESUMO
Soybean oil consumption is increasing worldwide and parallels a rise in obesity. Rich in unsaturated fats, especially linoleic acid, soybean oil is assumed to be healthy, and yet it induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. Here, we show that the genetically modified soybean oil Plenish, which came on the U.S. market in 2014 and is low in linoleic acid, induces less obesity than conventional soybean oil in C57BL/6 male mice. Proteomic analysis of the liver reveals global differences in hepatic proteins when comparing diets rich in the two soybean oils, coconut oil, and a low-fat diet. Metabolomic analysis of the liver and plasma shows a positive correlation between obesity and hepatic C18 oxylipin metabolites of omega-6 (ω6) and omega-3 (ω3) fatty acids (linoleic and α-linolenic acid, respectively) in the cytochrome P450/soluble epoxide hydrolase pathway. While Plenish induced less insulin resistance than conventional soybean oil, it resulted in hepatomegaly and liver dysfunction as did olive oil, which has a similar fatty acid composition. These results implicate a new class of compounds in diet-induced obesity-C18 epoxide and diol oxylipins.

Circadian rhythms provide organisms with an adaptive advantage, allowing them to regulate physiological and developmental events so that they occur at the most appropriate time of day. In plants, as in other eukaryotes, multiple transcriptional feedback loops are central to clock function. In one such feedback loop, the Myb-like transcription factors CCA1 and LHY directly repress expression of the pseudoresponse regulator TOC1 by binding to an evening element (EE) in the TOC1 promoter. Another key regulatory circuit involves CCA1 and LHY and the TOC1 homologs PRR5, PRR7, and PRR9. Purification of EE-binding proteins from plant extracts followed by mass spectrometry led to the identification of RVE8, a homolog of CCA1 and LHY. Similar to these well-known clock genes, expression of RVE8 is circadian-regulated with a dawn phase of expression, and RVE8 binds specifically to the EE. However, whereas cca1 and lhy mutants have short period phenotypes and overexpression of either gene causes arrhythmia, rve8 mutants have long-period and RVE8-OX plants have short-period phenotypes. Light input to the clock is normal in rve8, but temperature compensation (a hallmark of circadian rhythms) is perturbed. RVE8 binds to the promoters of both TOC1 and PRR5 in the subjective afternoon, but surprisingly only PRR5 expression is perturbed by overexpression of RVE8. Together, our data indicate that RVE8 promotes expression of a subset of EE-containing clock genes towards the end of the subjective day and forms a negative feedback loop with PRR5. Thus RVE8 and its homologs CCA1 and LHY function close to the circadian oscillator but act via distinct molecular mechanisms.

We used a proteomic approach to identify proteins that associate with keratins 8 or 18 (K8/K18) in a pervanadate-dependent manner. Pervanadate triggers Ran-K8/K18 binding and a gel-migration-shift of Ran from 25 to 27 kDa, which does not occur upon exposure to H2O2 or vanadate or if pervanadate is excluded during cell solubilization. Generation of 27-kDa Ran is not related to hyperphosphorylation, is heat-insensitive, but occurs upon conversion of Ran cysteines to cysteic acid. The pervanadate-mediated Ran cysteine --> cysteic acid oxidation and its related gel migration shift affects other proteins including actin. Mutation of the three Ran cysteines (Cys-85, -112, and -120) showed that Ran Cys-112 oxidation generates 27-kDa Ran and accounts for its keratin binding. Proteasome inhibition accentuates Ran-keratin binding after cell exposure to pervanadate. Therefore, cell-free exposure to pervanadate causes cysteine to cysteic acid oxidation of Ran and several other proteins and Ran-K8/K18 association. In cells, stabilization of oxidized Ran by proteasome inhibition promotes Ran-keratin interaction. Keratin sequestration of oxidized Ran may provide a back-up protective mechanism in some cases of oxidative injury.
