Abstract

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) consumes excess lipids and produces lipid metabolites as ketone bodies. These ketone bodies are then recycled for lipogenesis by the enzyme acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase (AACS). Previously, we found that a high-fat diet (HFD) upregulated AACS expression in white adipose tissue. In this study, we investigated the effects of diet-induced obesity on AACS in BAT. When 4-week-old ddY mice were fed a HFD or high-sucrose diet (HSD) for 12 weeks, a significant decrease in Aacs, acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1 (Acc-1), and fatty acid synthase (Fas) expression was observed in the BAT of the HFD group, whereas expression was not affected in the HSD group. In vitro analysis showed decreased Aacs and Fas expression in rat primary-cultured brown adipocytes following isoproterenol treatment for 24 h. In addition, the suppression of Aacs by siRNA markedly decreased the expression of Fas and Acc-1 but did not affect the expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) or other factors. These results suggested that HFD may suppress ketone body utilization for lipogenesis in BAT and that AACS gene expression may be important for regulating lipogenesis in BAT. Therefore, the AACS-mediated ketone body utilization pathway may regulate lipogenesis under conditions of excess dietary fat.
