Název v původním jazyce

Dissecting the role of Folr1 and Folh1 genes in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Increased levels of plasma cysteine predispose to obesity and metabolic disturbances. Our recent genetic analyses in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) revealed mutated Folr1 (folate receptor 1) on chromosome 1 as a quantitative trait gene associated with reduced folate levels, hypercysteinemia and metabolic disturbances. The Folr1 gene is closely linked to the Folh1 (folate hydrolase 1) gene which codes for an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of dietary polyglutamyl folates in the intestine. In the current study, we obtained evidence that Folh1 mRNA of the BN (Brown Norway) origin is weakly but significantly expressed in the small intestine. Next we analyzed the effects of the Folh1 alleles on folate and sulfur amino acid levels and consecutively on glucose and lipid metabolism using SHR-1 congenic sublines harboring either Folr1 BN and Folh1 SHR alleles or Folr1 SHR and Folh1 BN alleles. Both congenic sublines when compared to SHR controls, exhibited significantly reduced folate clearance and lower plasma cysteine and homocysteine levels which was associated with significantly decreased serum glucose and insulin concentrations and reduced adiposity. These results strongly suggest that, in addition to Folr1, the Folh1 gene also plays an important role in folate and sulfur amino acid levels and affects glucose and lipid metabolism in the rat.
