Abstract
Aging and obesity are associated with a decrease in plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels. In the context of a growing aging population and the rising incidence of obesity, we hypothesized that aging process, either independently or in combination with obesity, could influence vitamin D (VD) metabolism, consequently resulting in the reduced 25(OH)D plasma concentrations. C57BL/6JRJ young (6 months) and old (23 months) mice fed with control (CD) or high fat diet (HF) were compared. Plasma and adipose concentration of cholecalciferol and 25(OH)D and mRNA expression of genes coding for the main VD actors were analyzed. Aging was associated with a decrease in plasma 25(OH)D levels, whereas combined effect of obesity and aging did not generate a cumulative effect on plasma 25(OH)D levels. The mRNA expression of Cyp27a1, Cyp3a11, and Cyp2j6 were decreased in the liver during aging. Together, these regulations could explain the reduced 25-hydroxylation. Interestingly, the lack of cumulative reduction of 25(OH)D in aged and obese mice could be related to the strong induction of Cyp2j6. In kidneys, a complex modulation of Cyp27b1 and Cyp24a1 could contribute to the reduced 25-hydroxylation in the liver. In white adipose tissue, an induction of Cyp2r1 was observed during aging and obesity, together with an increase of 25(OH)D quantity, suggesting an exacerbated storage that may participated to the reduced plasma 25(OH)D levels. These findings support the notion that aging alone or combined with obesity, induces regulation of VD metabolism in the organs, beyond the classical reduction of epidermal VD precursor, which may contribute to the decrease in 25(OH)D levels.
期刊介绍:
BioFactors, a journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, is devoted to the rapid publication of highly significant original research articles and reviews in experimental biology in health and disease.
The word “biofactors” refers to the many compounds that regulate biological functions. Biological factors comprise many molecules produced or modified by living organisms, and present in many essential systems like the blood, the nervous or immunological systems. A non-exhaustive list of biological factors includes neurotransmitters, cytokines, chemokines, hormones, coagulation factors, transcription factors, signaling molecules, receptor ligands and many more. In the group of biofactors we can accommodate several classical molecules not synthetized in the body such as vitamins, micronutrients or essential trace elements.
In keeping with this unified view of biochemistry, BioFactors publishes research dealing with the identification of new substances and the elucidation of their functions at the biophysical, biochemical, cellular and human level as well as studies revealing novel functions of already known biofactors. The journal encourages the submission of studies that use biochemistry, biophysics, cell and molecular biology and/or cell signaling approaches.
