The natural incidence of fatty liver in ruminants is significantly higher than in monogastric animals. Fatty liver is associated with sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c). The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory network effects of SREBP-1c on the lipid metabolic genes involved in fatty acid uptake, activation, oxidation, synthesis, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) assembly in bovine hepatocytes. In vitro, bovine hepatocytes were transfected with an adenovirus-mediated SREBP-1c overexpression vector. SREBP-1c overexpression significantly up-regulated the expression and activity of the fatty acid uptake, activation, and synthesis enzymes: liver fatty acid binding protein, fatty acid translocase, acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain 1, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, and fatty acid synthase, increasing triglyceride (TG) synthesis and accumulation. SREBP-1c overexpression down-regulated the expression and activity of the lipid oxidation enzymes: carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2. Furthermore, the apolipoprotein B100 expression and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein activity were significantly decreased. SREBP-1c overexpression reduced lipid oxidation and VLDL synthesis, thereby decreasing TG disposal and export. Therefore, large amounts of TG accumulated in the bovine hepatocytes. Taken together, these results indicate that SREBP-1c overexpression increases lipid synthesis and decreases lipid oxidation and VLDL export, thereby inducing TG accumulation in bovine hepatocytes.
