| Abstract | To explore the effects of microcystin-LR (MC-LR), a hepatotoxin, on the incidence of liver lipid metabolism abnormality, and the potential molecular mechanisms of action, healthy male Balb/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with MC-LR at doses of 0, 5, 10, and 20 µg/kg/d for 14 days. Hepatic histopathology and serum lipid parameters of mice were determined, and the changes of mRNA and protein expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling molecules related to the lipid metabolism abnormalities in the livers of mice were investigated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blotting, respectively. The results indicated that 5-20 µg/kg/d MC-LR altered serum lipid parameters and caused hepatic steatosis. MC-LR treatment at 10 or 20 µg/kg/d changed mRNA and protein expression of ER stress signaling molecules, including upregulation of mRNA and protein expression of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), pancreatic ER eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2 ) kinase (PERK), and eIF-2 . MC-LR exposure at 10 or 20 µg/kg/d also altered mRNA and protein expression of downstream factors and genes of ER stress signaling pathways, including the downregulation of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) and fatty acid synthase (FASn), and upregulation of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACACA) and glycogen synthase kinase 3ß (Gsk-3ß). Our results reveal that ER stress plays a significant role in hepatic lipid metabolism abnormalities in mice exposed to MC-LR. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
