Abstract
Although diabetes normally causes an elevation of cholesterol biosynthesis and induces hypercholesterolemia in animals and human, the mechanism linking diabetes to the dysregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver is not fully understood. As liver peroxisomal β-oxidation is induced in the diabetic state and peroxisomal oxidation of fatty acids generates free acetate, we hypothesized that peroxisomal β-oxidation might play a role in liver cholesterol biosynthesis in diabetes. Here, we used erucic acid, a specific substrate for peroxisomal β-oxidation, and 10,12-tricosadiynoic acid, a specific inhibitor for peroxisomal β-oxidation, to specifically induce and suppress peroxisomal β-oxidation. Our results suggested that induction of peroxisomal β-oxidation increased liver cholesterol biosynthesis in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. We found that excessive oxidation of fatty acids by peroxisomes generated considerable free acetate in the liver, which was used as a precursor for cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, we show that specific inhibition of peroxisomal β-oxidation decreased cholesterol biosynthesis by reducing acetate formation in the liver in diabetic mice, demonstrating a crosstalk between peroxisomal β-oxidation and cholesterol biosynthesis. Based on these results, we propose that induction of peroxisomal β-oxidation serves as a mechanism for a fatty acid-induced upregulation in cholesterol biosynthesis and also plays a role in diabetes-induced hypercholesterolemia.

Numerous reports demonstrated that uncontrolled diabetes is associated with hypercholesterolemia, which greatly increases the risk of atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases (1Cassader M. Ruiu G. Gambino R. Alemanno N. Veglia F. Pagano G.

Comparison of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia management in patients with type 2 diabetes.Am. J. Med. 2002; 112: 603-609Google Scholar). However, the mechanisms by which diabetes cause elevation in plasma cholesterol level are not fully demonstrated. As liver cholesterol biosynthesis is enhanced in the diabetic animals (4Hotta S. Chaikoff I.L. Mechanism of increased hepatic cholesterogenesis in diabetes: Its relation to carbohydrate utilization.J. Biol. Chem. 1954; 206: 835-844Google Scholar, 5Kwong L.K. Feingold K.R.

Intestinal and hepatic cholesterogenesis in hypercholesterolemic dyslipidemia of experimental diabetes in dogs.Diabetes. 1991; 40: 1630-1639Google Scholar), the dysregulated cholesterol biosynthesis might play a role in diabetes-induced hypercholesterolemia. It is well-known that free fatty acid (FFA) stimulates hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis (6Nilsson A. Sundler R. Akesson B.

Fatty acid modulation of HepG2 cell cholesterol biosynthesis and esterification.Clin. Biochem. 1992; 25: 325-330Google Scholar), and liver-FFAs increased significantly under the condition of diabetes. Therefore, the increased supply of fatty acids might lead to elevated cholesterol synthesis and very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) secretion in the diabetic animals. To explore the potential roles of fatty acids in cholesterol biosynthesis and hyperlipidemia in diabetes, we focused on peroxisomal β-oxidation, a fatty acid oxidation (FAO) system that acted on long-chain fatty acids (9Reddy J.K. Hashimoto T. Peroxisomal β-oxidation and peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α: An adaptive metabolic system.Annu. Rev. Nutr. 2001; 21: 193-230Google Scholar). Although the crosstalk between peroxisomal β-oxidation and cholesterol biosynthesis is not established so far, we noted that peroxisomal FAO is induced in the liver of diabetic animals (10Asayama K.

Effect of erucic acid on incorporation of acetate-1-C14 into cholesterol and faty acids.Can. J. Biochem. Physiol. 1959; 37: 803-810Google Scholar). Furthermore, direct measurement of cholesterol synthesis from [1-14C]-lignoceric acid suggested that the acetyl-CoA generated from peroxisomal β-oxidation was preferentially used for biosynthesis of cholesterol (21Hashimoto F.

We hypothesized that peroxisomal oxidation of endogenous fatty acids might play a role in liver cholesterol biosynthesis and induce elevation in plasma cholesterol in the diabetic animals. Erucic acid (C22:1) as a specific substrate for peroxisomal β-oxidation was used to induce peroxisomal β-oxidation flux (16Chen X. Shang L. Deng S. Li P. Chen K. Gao T. Zhang X. Chen Z. Zeng J.
