Dietary Nano-ZnO Is Absorbed via Endocytosis and ZIP Pathways, Upregulates Lipogenesis, and Induces Lipotoxicity in the Intestine of Yellow Catfish

Nano-sized zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) affects lipid deposition, but its absorption patterns and mechanisms affecting lipid metabolism are still unclear. This study was undertaken to investigate the molecular mechanism of nano-ZnO absorption and its effects on lipid metabolism in the intestinal tissues of...

This study was undertaken to investigate the molecular mechanism of nano-ZnO absorption and its effects on lipid metabolism in the intestinal tissues of a widely distributed freshwater teleost yellow catfish <i>Pelteobagrus fulvidraco</i>. We found that 100 mg/kg dietary nano-ZnO (H-Zn group) significantly increased intestinal Zn contents. The <i>zip6</i> and <i>zip10</i> mRNA expression levels were higher in the H-Zn group than those in the control (0 mg/kg nano-ZnO), and <i>zip4</i> mRNA abundances were higher in the control than those in the L-Zn (50 mg/kg nano-ZnO) and H-Zn groups.

Dietary nano-ZnO increased triglyceride (TG) content and the activities of the lipogenic enzymes glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), upregulated the mRNA abundances of lipogenic genes <i>6pgd</i>, <i>fatty acid synthase (fas),</i> and <i>sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (srebp1)</i>, and reduced the mRNA expression of <i>farnesoid X receptor (fxr)</i> and small heterodimer partner (<i>shp</i>).
