GPR120-ERK1-Srebp1c signaling pathway regulates long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids biosynthesis in marine teleost Siganus canaliculatus

The rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus is the first marine teleost reported to possess long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) biosynthetic ability; its regulatory mechanisms have been investigated at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels, but little is known about its regulation at the cellular signaling level. The present study investigated the regulatory role of the G-protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) signaling pathway in LC-PUFA biosynthesis in rabbitfish. S. canaliculatus hepatocyte line (SCHL) cells treated with GRP120 agonists (TUG891 and GW9508) showed significantly lower docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content and mRNA levels of the key genes involved in LC-PUFA biosynthesis, encoding Δ6/Δ5 Fads2, Elovl5, and transcriptional factor Srebp1c. Transcriptome analysis of the treated SCHL cells showed significantly lower mRNA levels of genes encoding extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPKα2), target of rapamycin (TORC2) and Srebp1c, suggesting that these proteins are potentially involved in the GRP120 signaling pathway. Moreover, treatment of SCHL cells with signaling chemicals of ERK1, AMPKα2, TORC2, and Srebp1c confirmed the involvement of the ERK1-Srebp1c signaling pathway in the regulation of LC-PUFA biosynthesis. The mRNA levels of Srebp1c, Δ6/Δ5 fads2 and elovl5 were significantly lower in cells treated with PUFAs (linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, DHA) but higher in those treated with ERK1 inhibitors (U0126 and CI-1040). CI-1040-treated cells showed significantly higher DHA content, but the other treatment groups (except PD98059) showed significantly lower DHA content. These results indicate that the GPR120-ERK1-Srebp1c signaling pathway regulates rabbitfish LC-PUFA biosynthesis, representing a novel regulatory mechanism in vertebrates.
