Aims:
We investigated effects of the diurnal distribution of carbohydrates and fat consumption on the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) transcriptome in humans.
Materials and methods:
29 non-obese men without diabetes consumed two 4-week isocaloric diets in the cross-over study – (1) HC/HF diet consisted of a carbohydrate-rich breakfast and lunch (65 EN% carbohydrates, 20 EN% fat, 15 EN% protein) and a fat-rich snack and dinner (35 EN% carbohydrates, 50 EN% fat, 15 EN% protein) and (2) HF/HC diet consisted of a fat-rich breakfast and lunch and a carbohydrate-rich snack and dinner. At the end of each intervention period, SAT samples were collected three times during the day (at 8.40, 12.20 and 19.00), and used for the microarray analysis.
Results:
From 2372 oscillating SAT transcripts, 27.2% transcripts were rhythmic on both HC/HF and HF/HC diets, whereas 22.4% and 50.5% transcripts showed circadian oscillations only on the HC/HF and HF/HC diet, respectively. Oscillations of clock genes in SAT and the salivary cortisol rhythm (central clock marker) were not affected by diets. However, we found dietary effects on numerous oscillating and non-oscillating genes involved in glucose (IRS1, IRS2, PCK1, PDK4) and lipid metabolism (ACACA, ACAT1, ACOX2, PPARA) as well as inflammatory response (CCL5, IL1B, ITGAX, CD3E). Mechanisms underlying this remodeling include the change of activity of the insulin signaling, I-kappa B kinase/NF-kappa B and MAPK pathways.
Conclusion:
Diurnal distribution of carbohydrates and fat consumption induces deep remodeling of adipose tissue transcriptome in humans including the alteration of glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways.
