Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the cellular synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleate (18:1) and palmitoleate (16:1), which are the major monounsaturated fatty acids of membrane phospholipids, cholesteryl esters, waxes, and triglycerides. The mouse expresses three well-characterized SCD genes (SCD1, 2, and 3). SCD1 is the main isoform expressed in the liver of mice. Previous in vivo studies have shown that the transcriptional repression by n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the induction by cholesterol of the SCD1 gene are dependent on the maturation of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c). We studied the regulation of SREBP-1, SCD1, and other SREBP-1 target genes when a high cholesterol diet is combined with PUFA as n-6 PUFA rich soybean oil (SO), or n-3 PUFA rich fish oil (FO). While the PUFA/cholesterol (PUFA/CH) diets repressed the maturation of the SREBP-1, the SCD1 mRNA levels, and protein and enzyme activity were induced. Compared with PUFA diets, hepatic cholesterol ester and triglyceride were enriched with 16:1 and 18:1 monounsaturated fatty acids in mice fed PUFA/CH diets. Total plasma cholesterol levels were not altered but plasma triglycerides were reduced in SO/CH-fed mice compared with SO-fed mice. The mRNA for SREBP-1 was increased by the PUFA/CH diet but the mRNA levels of SREBP-1 target genes such as fatty acid synthase and LDL receptor were decreased, indicating that the main control of PUFA-mediated suppression of SREBP-1 target genes is the maturation of SREBP-1.
This study demonstrates that cholesterol overrides the PUFA-mediated repression of the SCD1 gene and regulates SCD1 gene expression through a mechanism independent of SREBP-1 maturation.
