Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression patterns of key genes involved in lipid metabolism in response to dietary Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in hens. A total of 36 forty week-old Lohmann Brown were randomly allocated into 3 groups consisting of 4 replicates of 3 birds. Laying hens were subjected to one of following treatments: Control (BD, basal diet), T1 (BD+ CoQ10 100 mg/kg diet) and T2 (BD+ micellar of CoQ10 100 mg/kg diet). Birds were fed ad libitum a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with CoQ10 for 5 weeks. Total RNA was extracted from the liver for quantitative RT-PCR. The mRNA levels of HMG-CoA reductase(HMGCR) and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins(SREBP)2 were decreased more than 30~50% in the liver of birds fed a basal diet supplemented with CoQ10 (p<0.05). These findings suggest that dietary CoQ10 can reduce cholesterol levels by the suppression of the hepatic HMGCR and SREBP2 genes. The gene expressions of liver X receptor (LXR) and SREBP1 were down regulated due to the addition of CoQ10 to the feed (p<0.05). The homeostasis of cholesterol can be regulated by LXR and SREBP1 in cholesterol-low-conditions. The supplement of CoQ10 caused a decreased expression of lipid metabolism-related genes including $PPAR{\gamma}$, XBP1, FASN, and GLUTs in the liver of birds (p<0.05). These data suggest that CoQ10 might be used as a dietary supplement to reduce cholesterol levels and to regulate lipid homeostasis in laying hens.

Coenzyme Q10(CoQ10)은 자연계에 널리 분포하는 화합물로 세포호흡과 항산화제로서 그 기능이 잘 알려졌지만, 최근 유전자들의 발현 조절자로서의 가능성도 제시되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 산란계에서 CoQ10의 첨가 급이가 콜레스테롤과 지방산 대사관련 유전자들의 발현에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고자 실시하였다. Lohmann Brown(40주령) 36수를 CoQ10의 첨가원에 따라 대조군(CON, basal diet(BD)), CoQ10 건조분말 급여군(T1, BD+CoQ10 100 mg/kg 사료) 및 CoQ10 건조분말 유화처리군(T2, BD+micellar of CoQ10 100 mg/kg 사료) 등 모두 3처리구로 설정하여 5주간 사양시험을 실시하였다. 시험 종료 후 각 개체의 간으로부터 total RNA를 추출하고, real-time PCR을 이용하여 유전자들의 발현을 분석하였다. 콜레스테롤 합성 과정에서 주요 조절 효소인 HMGCoA reductase(HMGCR)의 유전자 발현은 대조구에 비하여 CoQ10 분말첨가인 T1과 유화처리된 T2 처리구에서 모두 약 50%씩 억제되었다(p<0.05). 내생 콜레스테롤의 합성을 촉진시키는 전사인자인 SREBP2 mRNA 발현 또한 대조구와 비교해서 T1과 T2에서 각각 30%와 40% 감소하였다(p<0.05). CoQ10의 첨가 급이는 대조구에 비하여 liver X receptor(LXR) 유전자가 약 30~35% 그 발현이 억제되었으며, sterol regulatory element-binding proteins(SREBPs)1 또한 T2에서 약 40% 유전자 발현이 감소하였다(P<0.05). 전사인자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 XBP1은 CoQ10에 의하여 약 15~40% 수준으로 효과적으로 억제됨을 확인하였다(p<0.05). 세포 내부로의 에너지 공급원인 포도당의 흡수를 담당하는 GLUT2는 약 35~60% 그리고 GLUT8은 약 25~30%의 유전자발현 각각 감소함을 보였다(p<0.05). CoQ10의 섭취는 중성지방 합성을 위한 지방합성효소(FASN)의 유전자 발현을 분말처리군에서 약 30%, 유화처리군에서 약 65% 억제됨을 확인하였다(P<0.05). 본 연구결과는 CoQ10 첨가급여가 콜레스테롤 및 지방대사 관련 유전자 발현에 영향을 미치며, 세포내 콜레스테롤과 지방의 생성도 억제할 수 있음을 보여주었다.
